Wow, nearly 20 pages for the thread of the first episode lmao. I started watching this anime for 2 reasons: first I watched this video "Godsuya the Immortal (Mahouka AMV ft Immortals)" years ago and second, S2 is going to be this year.

The episode is pretty good, and the series looks promising. It looks like it's not going to show anything out of the ordinary but it will be interesting to watch the remaining 25 episodes.

Not a fan of the infodump at the beginning. The episode felt like it was trying to convey a lot about the world in so little time.

However, this show has still caught my attention enough to continue watching if I am going to be completely honest.
Have a great day!

First episode seems good enough. The generic vibes I’m getting though are dulling my senses. Will watch a few more before I come to any conclusions though

Lol. This is pretty much the same as Anos-sama the series. This is pretty much an older version of Anos-sama being an irregular at their respective academy. Well, It might had a complex story beneath its double duration than Anos-sama the series. So, depends on how good the real deal of its complex story was, i keep my hope in my lowest level.

Plus, Saori as Miyuki (a perfect VA to be pointed out as the best Imouto sounds as my standard satisfaction. Lol), and HanaKana as seito kaichou at the first Course seemed legit to me to believe myself to continued binge watching the overpowerred Tatsuyas, to wrecked that freak peoples that so called an elitist. The unfairness and a lot of discrimination already enveloped their surrounding. Even from the very beginning together with the intensed feeling that aroused quickly at their end. So far my interest grew higher than i can anticipated, knewing this might be a unique attempt, in terms of maintaining Tatsuya's characteristic. Still the reason behind some backgrounds remain unknown, and i don't even know why its happening into like that, together with Tatsuya's reason being in the second course. Whats happening in the society, after they decided to turned in magic into a systematized technique? Still no answer so far. Well, lets see into the next one. I really need more information to grew my satisfaction into another level. Lets see....

Tldr: i don't mind any romance between those two Shiba's siblings. It might be a pure relations, tho, it just Miyuki being exaggerated about that. But, if it turned out of control, i am fine with that. XD

The relationship between Tatsuya and Miyuki is kind of yikes, as there's a bunch of blushing "onii-sama" phrases everywhere; however, I did think that the discrimination thing is pretty interesting. The concept has been repeated in a couple instances, but it's nonetheless entertaining this time. Obviously, there's something incredibly OP about Tatsuya, as this is a power-fantasy, but we've yet to see it. He says he's bad at magic, but in the beginning we see him fire a humongous laser shot. Is that magic? I'm not really sure where the line is between technology and magic.

The discrimination at the school is horrible, and I have no idea how the student council is allowing it. The council president seems like a very collected and down-to-earth young lady, and yet she's all okay with the discrimination? It's a bit strange, but we don't know much about her yet. She might have her reasons.

Overall, it's an enticing concept (specifically how the world-building could be in this semi-apocalyptic setting, not the generic tropes), and I kind of want more.

yo, that was a great first episode. nothing singularly amazing, but (almost) everything was very, very good

everything except the younger sister. she is a weirdo and i don't like her brother love

very interested in finding out what this dude's secret is and why he's so keen on hiding it. clearly he's not your typical "weed". and for that matter, wtf is the difference between weeds and blooms anyways? the class system in this looks compelling af, at least early on. and the characters (again, aside from the sister) seem really good as well. you can tell that dude and chick who kept butting heads are gonna hook up eventually

9/10 first episode. the best first episode of a series that i've seen in awhile

This is one of those infamous series that I've heard a lot about, finally getting around to watching it.

A lot of info given in the first episode, but nothing to difficult to wrap your head around. Strange sibling affection going on lol, not gonna lie. Cliche setting with the seemingly OP MC and a segregated system, we'll see how it goes from here.

I always love Tatsuya's type of character so I already love him, but for girls I really don't like Miyuki's personality. Her formal language towards her brother is kind of annoying, but I like Mizuki and Mayumi for now. Simple introduction but can't wait to see where this goes.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

How many times is Miyuki going to say "oni-sama" in this show? I counted at least 15 times, in the first 3 minutes!

The post-WW3 world map looks interesting. Europe is divided into East and West, with many big Asian and African unions. I'd love to play a scenario of that in HOI 4.

I wish WW3 would happen in real life and reduce the human population to about 1 billion. I believe that's the optimal human population we should be maintaining.

Excellent wincest vibes. Miyuki is very cute and tappable!
I wonder what his secret is. He's probably the most powerful guy in the entire academy.
Nice preview of what kind of action to expect from this series. I hope the rest will be animated this well.

The magic in this show seems to be quite interesting, and magical engineering ay? Well that's pretty cool.

I only decided to give this a go because of LISA's banger OP, and I'm certainly not disappointed. ANimation is quite nice in this, as expected from Madhouse.

I can't get enough of brocon miyuki keep saying "oni-sama", after all saori hayami's voice is heavenly. First episode in and I'm already hooked, the world setting is interesting and the concept of magic in this anime is quite unique. Shiba tatsuya is strong but considering the fact he's hiding it means he's probably far stronger. The op song by Lisa is great and I'm looking forward to more of miyuki being a brocon imouto (>_<)

Okay first episode I guess... It's like a 2/5.

While watching this though, I swear I got the feeling I was watching a power fantasy show. You know the ones, the ones most people these day seem to hate. One dude has like some unique ability that makes them more powerful than everyone else, although we don't really know what it is yet, but MC is clearly more powerful than he's letting on. Idk it's probably just me but while watching this I just kept getting that feeling like it feels similar to those kind of shows.

It's not terribly interesting so far either but it's just the first episode. I'll give it two more episode before deciding if I'm dropping this or not.

This is my THIRD time attempting to rewatch this since it came out way back then and thank God for the dub this time around. I found this such a slog to get through with the subs info dumping.

Slow, drawn out, boring dialogue, stilted animation. Typical high school drama so far. Us against the snotty upper class.

If magic is tech, then it's just tech, not magic. Difference being one is supernatural one is not.
They are always way too chill with these time/year estimates "an ice age/deep freeze" in 2030 is laughable that's in 5 years at this point.
Now WW3 in 2045 *That* I could believe but there's no way it'd last 20 years.
LOSING 62.5% of the population in 20 years is insane. That's 5 billion dead people. Unless you nuke everything that just seem unlikely. To be clear even WW2 "only" killed 3% of people.
Like they are saying that was without nukes.
Bruh using a manual metal coffee grinder in the year 2065 is pretty wild if that's the default.
Characters are fine so far btw, well the brother sister thing is a little weird but apart from that.
I mean I have an older and a younger sister and it's not like I've never been close to them but you generally grow past that age especially for the sake of the younger sibling because otherwise they cling to you forever and never learn to do anything on their own. So if anything going back to that clingy behavior would feel regressive at this point. Now I'm not saying I've done everything perfect, maybe in some ways I've distanced myself too much from my siblings. (Asperger doesn't help either as over time it's been a lot easier to physically distance yourself from everyone though as a kid that wasn't the case at all, if anything I was the most social and least shy, it's more a matter of "getting burned" to the point where you kind of retreat I guess) Even so. I'd say this is the opposite end of the spectrum which isn't right either. Now brotherly instinct or defensiveness are always normal/good.

Lol watchu mean "Erika went too far as well" Leo didn't do shit, she instigated. (they got nice chemistry though she clearly likes him but sadly he's not taking the hints lol)
Anyways yeah so far a 7/10 seems about right. Outro song was a bit weird btw, like it's close to being a banger, but it feels a bit off. Maybe I'll get used to it though.

I’m not going to lie to you chief, LiSA might not be able to save this anime if the next few episodes can’t hook me in. I enjoy Miyuki’s personality though.
