Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen

Following the events of "Scorched Halloween," the world is introduced to a terrifyingly powerful Strategic class magician. In an effort to uncover the identity of this person, the United States of the North American Continent (USNA) dispatches the most powerful asset in its arsenal to Japan on a covert mission—the elite magician unit "Stars" and its commander, Angie Sirius.

At First High School, Tatsuya Shiba and his friends are having a farewell party for Shizuku Kitayama, who is leaving to study abroad in the USNA as part of an exchange program. In her place, the group welcomes the beautiful Angelina "Lina" Kudou Shields. Around the same time, Tatsuya is informed about the USNA's plan to uncover his true identity.

Elsewhere in Tokyo, numerous reports arise of seemingly random bodies found drained of blood. Dubbed as the works of a vampire, it does not take long for Tatsuya to connect the dots and realize that it is almost impossible for the timing of these events to be mere coincidence.

There is an uncanny misconception floating around in regards to "overpowered characters" and that according to such existence the whole show is deemed bad from the get-go. Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei also fell into this rabbit hole and apparently even our savior Tatsuya can't do much to stop all the lies from spreading. I didn't mean to, but you leave me no choice - I'm putting an end to this pandemonium.

--------------------------------

After 5 years of agony waiting for a sequel with only a side-story movie put in between, the second season of Mahouka came in all of its glory featuring one of the fan-favorite protagonists in ... all of anime and a much-loved yet inexplicably controversial show in itself. Back in 2014 when it first aired, some people with dicks in their mouths raised their hand and asked one question only: Who in Alabama made this anime - to which everyone within a 5-mile radius simultaneously answered - it is much deeper than you think and they weren't wrong at all since to understand this anime and why it matters in their life, you need a 5-year degree of stay on Facebook and 2 in their most repugnant groups so that your IQ will increase and come into the realization this anime is not simply a self-insert shtick with incest added to flavor it up.

It's about Tatsuya and his teachings that we must appreciate. The story of a simple fellow who never wanted and never thought of becoming who he is now but because of this great power he has no choice but to use it for the greater good even if it means the worst outcome for lot of. A not easy task to fulfill but one that must go until the very bottom. With him there's his sister, the core of the nonsense controversial people think it has. She's there to help her brother but whenever she's got the chance she tries to suck his dick but Tatsuya has better plans for her. He's playing the long game here and acting that he doesn't care about her in a romantic way and that he's just tempting her where in reality he's waiting for the moment Miyuki's defense is at a bare minimum so he can strike a big maneuver on her. With the advantage of 69 no imouto would be able to resist his true behavior and may God have mercy on Miyuki's pussy on that faithful night because he's gonna crush it.

--------------------------------

I saw Mahouka back in 2017 and liked it a lot, so much that it became a personal favorite of mine. At the time I had (still have) a certain love for the overpowered characters and the whole concept of Mahouka, as well as the characters and their quirky personalities, made my heart Doki-Doki (although it wasn't the first time). Tatsuya's interaction with her sister was indeed a blast - her blushing for every word her onii-sama said made me undertake a non-healthy path I never thought I'd take - to self-insert to guys like him and be successful as I've always wanted - surrounded by a bunch of girls, making them do naughty things to me or to each other, and much more I don't think you want to know. Unlike back then, I rarely do it anymore, but I still appreciate it enough to tell the tale and what a riveting tale it was. Despite my early years of watching anime and the fact at the time I could've liked perhaps everything, Raihousha-hen it's almost as good as its predecessor. It would have been better if we had gotten a 2-cour season instead. Not only we would have fleshed out some prominent characters more but because the story itself needed more time to get it done in a more impactful way, albeit it was great anyway.

Despite its predictable premise, Mahouka never goes downhill as each character is written in a nuance that enhances the story the right way but still makes the protagonist shine without making it seem forced. One of the ways they go about is the dialogue and is DONE RIGHT. Unlike LoGH who is there to pad for some time, here it has an identity within its story and not only serves as a tool to give the little exposition we need to understand the next puzzle pieces but also give some growth to them as well foreshadows what will happen to them later. While it's obvious Tatsuya has the most important role, others are no less either because without them even Tatsuya wouldn't have much against certain situations and it's a great way to show how much he growth but also that he's not simply an "overpowered character" with no purpose at all. He has his friends, his adorable sister and a bunch of other guys and honestly, that's just for the better.

Mahouka is not a bad show AND I'M ANGRY YOU DISLIKE SOMETHING I LIKE. GAH.

Ladies and gentlemen, He is BACK! Grab on to a clean pair of underwear, clench those buttcheeks, straps yourselves to your vests and glue your eyes to your screen because you won't wanna miss what's next. He Man Himself has, after YEARS of absence, once again graced us peasants with his presence. He goes by many names - The Man, The Legend, Godsuya, Mansuya, Bro, Ani-Sama, Chad, xXx_NoobSlayer_xXx, but here people call him the Irregular at Magic High School. Enough ... delaying, let's jump straight into his Holiness' perfection.

Story: 4
Aliens.jpeg BUT they're from another dimension. And they are magical! And telepathical! And they don't use CADs! And they don't die when they are killed! And one of them has the hots for Mansuya (can't blame it tbh). And they want to destroy the world. But they made one grave miscalculation - they forgot about the existence of God himself in human form. This could and does end only one way for these unfortunate visitors.
But apart from those slimy tentacle aliens, other groups, such as the USNA, the Sages, some terrorist groups, some Chinese mafia, as well as Japan's own military forces and backstage crime families decided to throw their hats into the fray. Sadly for them, they dared step foot into the domain of the Man himself and got rightfully clapped into submission.

Art: 4
No visual effects conceived and created by human beings can even try to represent the immeasurable perfection that is the existence of Mansuya!

Sound: 4
The only sounds worthy of being associated with His Holiness are the sounds he himself makes when he educates the unwashed masses, as well as the lamentation of his defeated foes.

Characters: 4
There is only One character worth mentioning in this Anime and He is written in the very title. But being the humble and gracious Master that He is, He allows the the existence of additional humans in his presence. So let's go through some of the disposable meat sacks that tag along.
We have the big breasted megane girl that can see things, the spiritual guy that uses spirits, the big breasted twintail girl who thirsts over our Chad, the short haired kuudere that also secretly, most likely thirsts after Him, the redhead tomboy with medium breasts, the tall, muscular but brainless punching bag jock, the plethora of irrelevant walking CO2 factories, the majority of who also thirst for Godsuya, some black-eyes grandpa, some big breasted, big haired aunt, some blue eyed blond twintailed big breasted american exchange student, and, of course, the big breasted little sister. They one and only purpose in this anime is to contrast the ideal image of the gracious and wonderful Mansuya with their imperfections and mortality.

Enjoyment: 8
Do you enjoy seeing one character literally stomp the ever-living hell out of his adversaries. Do you enjoy seeing a justified harem? Do you enjoy seeing God himself descend upon humanity and repair a 2000+ meter high building in a split second WITH HIS MIND? Do you enjoy long, made-up science jibberish being shoved down your ungrateful throat? Then you have made the right choice by picking this anime!

Overall: 5
If this anime consisted of Tatsuya and Tatsuya only, the score would have been a perfect 10/10. Unfortunately, he is forced to mingle with a contingent of mortal rabble on a daily basis, who's only redeeming quality is being a stepping stone for Him!

If there’s any one anime, any one popular anime in particular, I could say is feasibly written by an AI scrolling the algorithm, it would be The Irregular at Magic High School. Why so?

Because the show does not have a spec of human emotion in it.

Ignorance is the word of the day here folks. It was fairly apparent in the first season of Mahouka, and somehow even moreso here. Every aspect in this season, from the narrative, to the soundtrack, to the characterization, to the tension, to the worldbuilding is divorced from what’s commonly viewed as respectable. It’s not quite as insultingly awful as Season ...
