| Not bad. Finally an episode where Miyuki does something by herself. Even if the prelim match was basically super hacking, but the thing is, the finals showcased that even if the Taurus tech was leaked to the other schools, none of them were able to control it as well as Miyuki on the sole basis that she had way more magic in her reserves than anyone else. For that, I think she was a worthy winner. That said, I think we finally managed to find some flaws with the ever perfect Tatsuya. he basically used Kobayakawa as bait to lure out the culprits, and yet did not take any precautions to protect her. The reaction for Miyuki's CAD being tampered was overkill in comparison to his reaction to Kobayakawa's accident. He's just a selfish, cold-blooded Miyuki-obsessed elder brother who can't give two fucks about the people around him. Personally, he was just as much at fault for Kobayakawa's loss of her magic abilities as those gangsters from Hong Kong. Well... too bad the show is basically all about him. The gangsters deserve the smack-down that Tatsuya will bring to them in the next episode though. Even I cannot wait to see how busted up the headless dragons will become after this. |

He didn't use anyone. He wasn't responsible for checking Kobayakawa's CAD. The one managing her CAD for Mirage Bat was Hirakawa Koharu. |

| Okay episode I guess... There are some interesting things happening in the background, with that group of guys trying to sabotage the tournament. Otherwise though it mostly more of the same. I have a generally feeling about this anime: It just takes too long to "get to the point" and it can seem very dragged out and pointless at times. These last 2 episodes have been better than most that preceded them I can say though. |

| Hmm.. bad guys barely even making a dent. |

| Big brother is pissed lol. I don't really mind that this arc is taking longer then others. Yeah, they can condense the arc altogether but I expected something like this for a 24 episode show. Its advertising its light novel as well as leaving more content from a potential second season down the road. |
 |
| Tatsuya Wasn't As Badass As In Episode 16 >.< He Was A Little Lovey I Think Well Whatever This Episode Didn't Let Me Down |
| definetely the second half this anime is waaaaaaaaaaay better. it went from a 6/10 to a 8/10 for me |
-MgZ_ said: But it already has good production values. At this point the only thing that could be improved on is the story itself.Damn. Those eyes. If only this series had a better production.. would be freakin epic. I still don't get what business Chinese brokers would have with some Japanese high school competition that would require putting the life of random teenagers in danger. The whole thing is incredibly far-fetched. And I'm sorry, but Mirage Bat sucks, and Miyuki basically cheated with her bro's brand new flight magic. For someone who's trying to keep a low profile, he sure likes to either flaunt or let others shamelessly advertise his finds every chance he gets. Also why would Miyuki wear make up for a sports event? I mean, who in the holy hell ever does that. |

| Wonder if the arc will end next episode. Any Novel readers here know? And will they have enough time for the next arc? |
 |
| For someone so smart Tatsuya is really shit at hiding his true identity, how has only one person realized it so far? Like every week, the Tatsuya x Miyuki scenes make me feel uncomfortable. Was skipping through scenes as always. 1/5. |

| I think anime has conditioned us to expect a certain unwarranted level of savvy in anime universes. We have fully accepted the premise of teen super-prodigies in anime who have some kind of world-wide recognition. Why aren't people putting it together that Tatsuya is Taurus Silver? Because Tatsuya is a high school student. The most logical assumption is that Tatsuya (or more likely, a parental guardian/figure) has some *connection* to Taurus Silver; i.e. he is related to him, or he works/worked in his lab, etc. It's only because the Taurus Silver fanatic has had first hand exposure to what Tatsuya can do that she figured it out. But we have to keep in mind that, to put it in perspective, this sounds like finding out that the guy who sits across from you in science class is Elon Musk. Or the guy who you hired to paint your fence is Banksy. Or the guy playing the cello in the subway is Yo-Yo Ma. Etc. Etc. It's hard to believe even with proof and most people won't put it together without explicit and overwhelming evidence. |

The way I look at it is they think Tatsuya is somewhat of an assistant to Taurus Silver. At least people from his school. I would certainly think of him that way. He has those dual guns CAD, that tech girl recognized them as Taurus Silvers invention, so it would not be logical to assume high-schooler is TS, but rather, someone real close to TS. Add to that his insane ability with tech and one gets an assistant of someone real famous. I am perfectly fine with them not knowing he's TS. |
| So this arc will end in the next episode? Abou time already. But how are they going to fit the next to arcs? Will it be like: Yokohama Disturbance Arc Ep 19-22 Reminiscence Arc Ep 23-26 |
| "I lost all of what you could call feelings of love. They weren't sealed, so they can't be released. They weren't broken, so they can't be fixed. That which is lost, cannot be recovered." Shiba Tatsuya "There are no regrets. If one can be proud of one's life, one should not wish for another chance." Saber "No matter what happens, no matter how crazy things get, I'll always try to restore balance." Korra "It's madness to let others take what's yours and accept it blindly." Baatar Jr "Instinct is a lie, told by a fearful body, hoping to be wrong." Zaheer "Partner in crime, partner in time" Chloe Price and Max Caulfield |

It's hard to believe even with proof and most people won't put it together without explicit and overwhelming evidence. He ain't normal high school student. He is First Magical High School student. It's elite military facility and almost no one, who is not affiliated with it knows that he is Weed. Also Cardinal George is prodigy too and he is highschooler. It would be not that strange in age of magic. After his spectacular performance in Monolith Code, he should be under the spotlight. Also he was n charge of exceeding female players CADs. Plus his sister used Flying Magic. Maybe not everyone, but for guys like Kichijouji Shinkurou or Ten Master Clans members it should be obvious that he is Taurus Silver. |

What would make a person skip over the idea that Tatsuya is an up-and-coming genius who could have a huge impact on the world of magic, and instead go straight to the idea that this highschool student (who is still by all appearances in the middle of receiving instruction on all things magic) is actually a titan of the magic-technology world? Who would just assume that Taurus Silver was some kid who had never even gone to a university? After all, the world thinks it is one person and that one person is genius engineer in regards to both hardware and software. If anything, Tatsuya's physical performance during Monolith Code should make him a little less suspicious--since one would be forced to conclude that Taurus Silver isn't just a genius researcher but some sort of superhuman warrior-inventor. |

kikohunter said: They don't cry because of the incest in itself. They cry because those scenes legitimately suck.Lol at people crying because of the incest, poor little innocent people letting society control their views on stuff. Anyways, I think some people don't know what rushed means? The pacing has been between slow and good. I liked this episode 4/5 |

Heck he's not even actually Taurus Silver but more like HALF of Taurus Silver.

Would you really think it's the person themselves instead of maybe just someone RELATED to that person be it family or work? |

Dumb person will think he is Taurus Silver because they simplistic thinking. While SMART person will also think he is Taurus Silver because they so observant. Sayin something like "oh, probably you are his assistant or some sort" obviously forced or that typical air head person. Or you are one of that or pretending to be like that, i don't know. That way of thinking is almost certain. TS actually consist of 2 person is a non-factor. Because we talk from the one who suspecting Tatsuya. Thinking that Tatsuya just some sort relative are utterly idiot. Why??? Because he IS the one who setting their CAD and some sort. Clear he IS the one who showing the "TS" feat. Isn't that really didn't clear enough?? And all thing he did only proved that all true. |

| Although not as awesome as the last episode (how could it be?) another great episode! I seriously thought that poor guy was gonna get his head ripped off and it took me awhile to realise the Generator was the one sent flying! Those army guys sure seem cool though. I wonder what's left for us to see in the last episodes of this ark? Can't wait to find out! |

Isn't that really didn't clear enough?? And all thing he did only proved that all true. No, see here's what you are not getting: there are two aspects of what Tatsuya has done. Calibrating the CADs requires engineering skills and Tatsuya is clearly a genius, but his fellow genius Cardinal George didn't peg him as the legendary Taurus Silver. Why? Because I doubt very many people have had their CADs calibrated by TS (given the whole secret identity), he's known for creating hardware and software. The second aspect are the magics being employed. Using magic does not imply anything about creating magic, it only implies *access* to the magic formulas, which is why someone might connect Tatsuya to TS but not jump to the conclusion that he is TS himself. Flying Magic was announced a month earlier, but clearly the program wasn't made public. Tatsuya's sister uses the magic, so clearly she (and by extension, Tatsuya) has access to the program. When the committee leaked the program, everyone was flying. Why? Because just having the magic was enough to be able to use it. Lastly, it does matter that TS is actually two people. Two people posing as a single figure can accomplish much more than any one person should be able to. You can accept that one person is a technical genius, another is a master sharpshooter, a third is a master ninja, etc, but how willing are you to accept that someone is a genius ninja sharpshooter? And not even merely a genius, but a legend--a reputation that typically takes a lifetime of skills to accumulate. Oh, and he's a teenager. Has this gotten ridiculous enough yet to illustrate why no rational onlooker would seriously entertain the notion that he is in fact Taurus Silver? Sure, Intelligence Agencies might piece it together based on what was seen (in addition to whatever intelligence they already had) but your typical onlooker, dumb or smart, is not going to assume that they are actually watching a mysterious legendary engineer participating in a high school competition. They're going to assume connections are involved. |

| Damn you mafia guys and your evil plots to ruin Onii-sama's great harem XD! Mizuki is lucky to have Mikihiko protect her :3 Holy crap... Tatsuya's pissed off level is over 9000!!!! Ohooo, a romantic moment between two love... erm... I mean brother and sister lol. LOL, a big brother with a hard-core sister complex, touche Mayumi, touche! Ah, she's using that device that can make you fly, ja ja. Miyuki's breats seemed pretty big back there... oh... yeah... back to serious stuff! Those guys sure are up to no good... deciding to kill hundreds of people from the audience there, in order for the tournament to be called off... Hah, that guy that looks like a robot is getting his ass kicked lol. I think that if something ever happened to Miyuki, Tatsuya would probably end the world lol. LOL, the other high schools can now use flying magic but it's rather too hard on them. Ah, victory is theirs! |
