| He made a freaking big hole in Asia. Holy crap. Well, I think that this series works better on LN format than anime. But I would still watch a second season. |

| Great anime 9/10. Though with so much stuff going on I got damn demand another season :D |
 |
| That final spell. DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!! I've seen some overpowered stuff in my lifetime, but that was beautiful! |

| Give us season 2. Save my waifus. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| I really enjoyed this show. It has lot of nice characters and cool action, when it doesn't talk about nonsense. The OST and art were also very beautiful. I guess less talking and more romance would've been better. I would definitely watch a second season. |
 |
| Hahahaha at long last Material Burst. Damn I was waiting for this moment the whole time. Tatsuya could destroy the entire earth anytime he desire. LOL. Well it was pretty good overall.. since I read the light novel I could enjoy without any explanations. Some of the fights were good and nice to see the characters interact. Alright back to reading the light novel hehehe. |

No wonder, dragon with no head must be retarded. |
| Oh well the adventures of Godsuya are over. I thought this show was pretty good but I did feel like they info dumped a bit too much. 8/10 But I honestly think this show had the potential to be even better than that. |
| I don't find the characters self-sacrificial nor do I see any of them standing up and fighting for their beliefs, at all. Let me know when the characters go through hell literally and figuratively or when they get to grow incredibly wise and gain a great level of maturity and true internal strength. |

| Though i felt indifferent towards it in the beginning, I actually pretty like this series towards the end and now i want more :O |

I hope they will never do that. Im actually sick and tired of anime like that. They get some hardship and they grow up and gain super duper powers in one episode. As i see, in this anime all characters are op and more or less mature. So, why would they need to do something like that? Im pretty sure we will see some harsh history of MC in next season so i guess you will see at least something you named :) |

| great episode |
| thank's god it's over. I only watched the anime and i really hated a lot of things in this serie. Chiba Miyuki definitely is the worst character i saw in this entire show. And this incest thing to me was so unnecessary. It's a pity that an anime with so many interesting characters was based only in the siblings relationship. |

| I was so disapponited with this show..but...shit happens |
| Not sure what I think of the show, very enjoyable but boring at times. Tatsuya was the best part of the show |
| Hi there |
| Wasn't that bad, slow as hell though until about midway through the competition arc...but still enjoyable. SacredFactor said: Mahouka is RACIST to the Chinese. In Mahouka,Chinese are CONSTANTLY the bad guy where Chinese role is causing World War 3,raping a child, trying to sabotage a tournament, industrial spies and invade Yokohama. Read more at http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1278353&show=340#REyC6Uf1v6VySQ7F.99 Oh yeah. I guess I wasn't the only one to get a xenophobic vibe from this, but well it's not a serious complaint that affected the show's quality which isn't much to speak of, just something that made me laugh. After watching many shows that use the North American continent (US) as symbolic for oppression and/or bad guys....was at least refreshing to watch a show that used another continent for a change. |

Could be a 8/10 but it just made it to a 7/10 Idk why the rushed the story like fuck, like there was no reason they needed to cover 3 arc in 1 season, the 3rd arc was so fucking rushed -.- could have easily drag the school competition to finish up the season easy and still might feel a bit rushed. After re-watching then browsing this page, I must apolgise for answering late but it is still a 7. I do like over powered character but there were scenes of sister complex which is weird and could be spent with decent plot or Mayumi Saegusa relationship |

| I retract my statement about Tatsuya using "apparently little effort" to heal Kirihara and Kei. Wow, so in order to revive and restore others, he must read their Eidos and experience their pain multiplied based on the amount of time that has passed. He is taking their pain upon himself in order to save them. And as if he hasn't already reached deity status enough, he completely eliminates an entire fleet in one wide ranged attack. What the fuck. Overall, I found this show to be enjoyable though lacking in many aspects. I didn't feel like anyone really received any substantial development. Sure we get to know many of them, but only on the surface. Tatsuya received the most, but there's still so many questions surrounding him and his past that have yet to be answered. Since this is a long running light novel series, I don't expect them to front-load all of the character development, but at the same time I do expect that at least some of them are given adequate time to sufficiently display a non-trivial amount of depth. Tatsuya still remains a very intriguing character to me despite his blandness and lack of emotion, Miyuki remains quite adorable, and Erika <3. I felt the first arc started off quite strong with the great "show don't tell" approach toward world building and how all the characters were introduced. However, after a few episodes it became somewhat uninteresting, and the incident involving Blanche was anticlimatic and didn't really have much to it. The second arc started off mildly interesting, particularly with that one cliffhanger with the suicide attack toward the bus of students. After that scene, the arc's progression merely made me drop the show. It was clearly a character focused arc, however it failed to use the time wisely and actually explore any of them in detail aside from Tatsuya. The episode with the battle between First High and Third High and Masaki vs Tatsuya was great though. The third arc seemed to shift away from the characters and focus on the plot itself which unfortunately also lacked intrigue or depth. It was essentially the evil Chinese committing a horribly botched invasion of mainland Japan and were slaughtered by its citizens. The last few episodes gave me the impression that the author has a fair amount of nationalistic pride with the scenes of the regularly dressed people fighting back against foreign invaders and the Japanese military possessing such power and prowess on the battlefield. The action and battles themselves were all right. The anime introduces numerous concepts and issues ranging from the technical details of the world and magic to the meaning of equality to being viewed as a tool to family bloodline politics to politics regarding one's role and obligations. The way that some characters were given screentime also suggested that they had more complexity to them and their dynamics with other characters. All of these interesting and different plot lines were created by the show, but most if not all were executed in a lackluster manner. Essentially, I felt they half-assed many things that they had brought up only to allow to fall to the wayside. The action and Tatsuya's badass moments were good overall. Despite all of the above, this show still did just enough to maintain my attention, and I would be interested in watching a second season. I also do realize that this is a poor adaptation of the light novel, and because I haven't read it I can only attest to the anime. Arc Ratings: Enrollment: 6/10 Nine School Competition: 6/10 Yokohama Disturbance: 6/10 Overall Rating: 6/10 Praise be to Him. |

Takuan_Soho said: Mongols, not Chinese. Satou likes to base things on myths and history. The Great Asian Alliance is basically the Yuan Empire and Tatsuya is the kamikaze that destroyed the Mongol fleet. The GAA has the same basic territory as the Yuan, Dahan represents the Song dynasty that was destroyed by the Yuan. IIRC China conquered Mongolia in Mahouka, not the other way. |

| Not as bad as people made it out to be. Well its a little cliched and Tatsuya and Miyuki's "sibling love" is pretty fucked up but its a pretty entertaining anime. I feel bad for that Lu Gonghu guy, every time he attacks there would be three to four guys against him and he gets beaten up lol. |

| Why??? Season 2 where are you??!! |
| Not sure how to rate this. It has some very nice moments and I enjoyed watching, but tbh it could have been way better. Not that I certainly dislike the OP MC, but it was way more interesting when he used his ninja close combat skills or surprised everyone with new tricks. I will probably read the LN when I have time, because it felt way to shallow. They have many interesting characters ( I sometimes got confused because there are so many names and organisations and barely any explanation..) But from the anime I know: OP MC is totally OP and loves his sister, sister and him have some kind of problem with aunt, MC has/wants to be the bodyguard for sister. They want to bring down their own family. 26 episodes and I dont know why the most OP MC in the last few years has not done that ._. The show would have been better imo if it would have stayed like it started, but the moment actual war starts it sucked, because you have a MC that revives the dead and just obliterates everything he wants- while the interesting side charas dont get enough screentime. It felt odd that someone would attack a place where hundreds of very capable magic holders are your enemy, besides the regular forces. I would like to give it 8/10 but the adaption just has to many drawbacks. started well and interesting but ended plain and unexiting. 7/10 PS: Why did the student council president lost her position midway? She was always the most capable leader of all the students and I liked how she managed everything. |

She was always the most capable leader of all the students and I liked how she managed everything. They were using anti magician guns and bullets and some of those GAA soldiers were also magicians,everything went haywire when they animated bullets bouncing off barriers from magicians (except for Juumonji's barrier) that wasn't in the LN. Mayumi lost her position,coz you know she's already graduating and in her last term of highschool and needed to focus in her university entrance exams and needed to pass the torch to someone else.They skipped the SC election SS which could have cleared it up. |
| What a waste of time. How could someone in his right mind demand another season of this abomination ? |

| After rewatching the series in a quicker pace vs airing you really get to notice how the music and ambient sounds really stand out. A few of the scenes seemed to pop a lot more than what I had remembered. That was a pleasant surprised that I had missed a little from the first watch. |
| One of the most disgusting piece of thrash ever graced the anime medium 2/10. Almost every character was either a cocksucker for onii-sama or was dead. Not only chinese but even Indians are offended over the supposed portrayal of SHIVA. |
| The borderline incest was cute. Though I strongly suspect they are not ultimately siblings. When done right in an anime, an OP MC is fine, imo. The context in which the OP MC is placed in is important, I believe. The context (OP MC in a high school, above and beyond all his peers) that the MC was placed in is what viewers may actually be taking issue with. |
Ukaei said: Though I strongly suspect they are not ultimately siblings. same here, i mean i suspect that to |
| Finished watching this the other day, and I hope we get more in the not so distant future. The anime only covered about half of the light novel, so still plenty more to go. While Tatsuya is crazy OP, we do know that there are about 50 more people on Earth just like him if what the major said is correct. Will they clash? I don't know. I also suspect Tatsuya and Miyuki are not actually blood siblings. I kind of wonder if Tatsuya is engineered and Miyuki is a key for unlocking his full potential, as we saw in the underground meeting room. These episodes felt more like they were slowly introducing Tatsuya and revealing his abilities, while the second half of the story shows them being put to use in some sort of major conflict. Having not read the LNs myself, I have no idea what that will be, but I can't imagine the world reaction being all that restrained given the huge crater that Tatsuya left in that Chinese port. Also, I wonder if the Yostuba family will make some sort of power play in the future since they seem to be far stronger than the other ruling magician families and Tatsuya and Miyuki's aunt seems like an evil, calculating mastermind of some sort. |
| is there any news about the sequel? |
 |
| I enjoyed the first 2 arc, it was a cool popcorn series. OP as fuck MC, uninteresting info dumps but you don't even have to pay attention to them, nice incest and flashy visuals but god, the last arc was fucking garbage. Guns, guns, guns, missile launchers, reviving and guns. Oh and trying to make Tatsuya look 'cool' even more than before, who could've thought it's possible. All that crappy action made me puke. The plot developments were disgustingly generic and this last episode in particular was ridiculous. I don't hate it though, I got more than I expected (except for the last arc which definitely deserves all the hate this series gets). |

| is it the end? i think it moved too fast and the ending must be 2 or 3 more episode to clear and wow tatsuya fckin badass magic, and make a new history they said haha lol |
 |
| For me it was a confusing series (well I was farming in my mmo while watching this so :p) but still not bad. Its a more dialogue heavy series and you need to be concentrated to understand well this show (theres still a lot of action too thought). If you like OP MC (as everyone said) then it's not a bad watch. 6/10 for show, and 7/10 for miyuki ;) |
| Tatsuya is so unbelievably OP it is crazy... BUT, at least he's in a world where magic is real, so he does have some excuse. I think I liked Tatsuya and Miyuki so much that it sometimes makes me forget that this anime is really convoluted at times. The exposition is not good at all, and most of the time you're just not sure what exactly the whole point of the story is. If they could work on that, I think it would be a really great series, because the characters are definitely likable and interesting. Overall, I did enjoy it and despite some of the convolution, I think the characters made up a lot for it, and so did the action. 7/10 |
| Ngl I didn't really understand what was going on with this last arc, like with the "relic" and all that shit But still I really enjoyed this show, Tatsuya is that dude |
| Well...that was interesting. Not sure whether the last part of this episode was just terribly rushed or the LN was written badly, but it surely felt really lackluster. Regardless a pretty ok-ish series, atleast Tatsuya was actually a decent gary stu despite being ridiculously overpowered to the point "Mahesvara" might just be fitting for him. 5/10. |
