WTH I waited 25 eps for this scenes to be animated and this is what they had come up with???!!They could have made 2 ol eps so that they didn't rush it,but no.Sad part is the BD's/DVD's sold well and Dengeki execs will be telling MH goodjob!!.Thrashin mad!!!

For season 2 they better change studios,MH,even with the MH worshipping in MAL did badly adapting a LN series again.

While I haven't read the LN's I'll agree with those who have, I think this would have been a better episode if we could have seen more of the other students in operation. It would also have shown that while Tatsuya is incredibly overpowered, so are most of the other really proficient students in the magic school system. And again it reinforces that you can't consider these "normal" high school students. We've seen that several of them are either acting clan heads (Juumonji), heirs to clan headship (Mayume, Mitsuki, & Misaki) or likely to be major players in clan politics in the future. It should come as no surprise that some of them also hold positions in the military and can be called to duty during times of need.

Based on what we've heard from people who have read the LN's it seems the major weaknesses in the adaptation have been the overplaying of the relationship between the siblings (possibly because a hint of incest is supposed to build the audience), the failure to be able to bring the internal monologues to the screen (since they are such an integral part of the novels) and the nerfing of the powers and lack of attention to the character building of the supporting players (particularly Mayume, Erika, and a number of other female characters). This isn't a terrible show, I still find it enjoyable and interesting and will probably start reading the light novels as a result of this and the sequel airing, but it could have been much better.

Onii-sama can even heal people it seems, probably has a time limit to how far back he can though, but yeah. Let's see, what else? Right... This felt extremely rushed, even for an anime-only viewer like me. Judging by the comments here from the LN readers, it feels extremely rushed with no characterization on Miyuki, etc.

Just how OP is our Onii-sama!! He's like " Oh, two of my friends just died. Let me just point my CAD at them and they will be as good as new." DAMN!

Not much action for our onii-sama here but fortunately for us (and unfortunately to the goons) our great onii-sama will end this series with a BANG!! (I sure hope so ^_^)

The Crimson Prince's rupture is pretty bad-ass too!

Kirihara and Kei were great men to protect their girls. Fortunate for them, Jesus Onii-sama appeared right on time and healed them.
But did he really have to whisper on Miyuki's ear that she did great? :p . Why not just say it normally?

As expected from Onii-Christ-sama, he can heal the blind and cure the sick. "You did great" - Miyuki just came.

all of it was okay, with few exceptions:
1. Erika should be happy that she could kill again especially now with Orochimaru
2. The attackers who attack Kannon's party at the end should have more troops at their disposal
3. Cocytus is freaking a disappointment. I thought they would show how horrifying it was... They should fixed this on BD or I will not buy a it. Season 2 be damned!

Minor correction, it's not that they "overplayed" the relationship, that is all in the novel, however they did cut everything else from Miyuki's character so all the viewers were left with was the incest flag waving and the far too many breathless "oniisamas". Miyuki in the novels has a pretty wicked sense of humor (we saw only one scene of that when she teased Erika about being a brother con) and is someone people do not want to piss off (ultimately I think she could be even more powerful than Tatsuya).

While I shouldn't draw too sweeping a generalization, downplaying female characters is something I have come to expect in adaptations. It's probably a marketing decision. That is definitely the case here.

Tatsuya cannot bring people back from the dead. He can heal the wounded, but not the dead. So not quite Jesus.

Just a quote from the wiki:

When used on someone even if the heart had already stopped, the brain shut down, the throat torn open, if that was the extent of their injuries then revival was still possible. Even an instantly fatal wound, as long as rebuilding the body and restarting the circulation of blood would have had even the faintest chance of resuscitating the person.

So yeah, not the dead, but veery close to it.

Mostly a good episode, they did Masaki very well, and the fluidity of the episode was done right, but as I have been saying 20 episodes I think now, they continue to go out of their way to minimize Erika and Miyuki.

While they showed Orochimaru, there was nothing in there about how Erika receiving this sword was her official acceptance into the Chiba family nor again just how happy she is with it and with having the chance to kill people. It's like the adapters are afraid that they will lose fans if they divert from "Cute Erika" ignoring that this isn't the reason readers like Erika.

Miyuki's scene was all wrong, we got absolutely no sense of how powerful and terrifying her spell and indeed she is. First when she jumped out of the helicopter her magical interference was so powerful that no one could cast magic (including Mari), second it doesn't "freeze" their bodies, it freezes their minds. Third it is omnidirectional, the attackers were not in convenient mass. Fourth everyone felt it, so it should have been animated like a pulse. Fifth, everyone outside of Erika were terrified by the spell and her as well as they should be: she can look at people and they die. She doesn't need a CAD (they at least showed that properly), it kiills who she wants and spares who she wants, its a magic so far outside of the normal realm that the reaction should have been animated.

Perhaps these are minor points, but for me both scenes were favorites of mine and I think both would have been good scenes to spend a little more time on.

Agreed. Miyuki's scene was such a let down. The hostage part too which wasn't even included... I really wanted to see all the supporting characters reactions throughout the series, but good god WHERE ARE THE REACTIONS?! Tatsunism a new religion.

Great episode. I now understand what Tatsuya meant by he would lose to Ichijou if it was a real fight on the battlefield in 9SC arc. I seriously doubt Tatsuya would lose to him in a situation like that but this episode did show how op and dangerous Masaki can be on the battlefield.

OP Tatsuya just destroys his enemies just like that. This series keeps reminding me of that. With that flight suit, he kinda looks unstoppable. He even healed Kirihara and Kei. Wow. Just wow.
I'm beginning to love Mayumi now. Just like Tatsuya said, she's a barrel of laughs. Masaki's attacks were very bloody, but beautiful. I almost got the wrong idea when George doesn't want Masaki to go. Haha!
Last episode next week. I'm a little sad.

This last arc is excellent, and Tatsuya is more badass than ever, that personage OP, Miyuki also shown to have strength, but his brother is in another level, can even heal others, he is one of the strongest characters I've ever seen and Mayumi always kawaii, I really like her personality
Only one more episode for Tatsuya kick the ass of the invaders, hopefully a great ending and to leave aperture for a second season, for this anime that is definitely one of the best of the year ..

Again,your above average Mahouka episode. Another 4/5 from me again. I've been enjoying Mahouka last week and this week episode than I normally does. Shipping for Tatsuya x Mayumi.

But the villains are lame since they are all cannon fodder. Is Lu Gonghu the only decent villain we age getting in this arc? If there are better villain in this action pack episode,it could get 5/5 from me.

Bromance between Suzaku V 2.0 and George. Somehow,give me the death flag feeling but doubt either of those two going to die.

Great Asian Alliance is not that great. Agree with you. The villain are pathetic.I also hope someone would die. Maybe it will make the show better and produce impact.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

They are really going over the top with the fucking deaths of these scrubs the students are killing. Ichijo in particular was living up to that crimson prince name.

Though I didn't have a problem with the episode per say, reading all the comments from the LN readers about how the Miyuki and Erika scenes were supposed to be more intense kind of disappoints me. As an anime only watcher, the stand alone wasn't terrible, but reading those comments made me wish they did it better. Especially the Miyuki scene. That sounds way more badass and fucking terrifying in the LN.
