| I find Takeshi to be absolutely pathetic! He is so weak that Gekkou managed to get his hands on Eterna! But seriously Eterna is such a romantic name, but god why does her current owner has to be Takeshi. |

Most shonen shows show potential at the beginning and end up sober. I literally hit a boulder in SNK or Attack on Titan (still unable to get past the boulder arc). Mahou Sensou doesn't have a bad story but it has a bad story telling that makes it harder to connect to the characters. Just because it has been done already doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. Just a difference in hair color between two shows may make shows appealing to people. |
| As of 27/7/14 I have decided trap anime Sword Art Online II has more appeal than Mahouka. |

Well shit happens, all in all I still enjoy the series bar some of its animation issues, if possible I'll read the novels too and see how it develops from there. |

| once again droping of to much ideas on such a short time which could be good without all the annoying jumping on the story without any explanation. |
 |
| I am concerned about Futaba. Hope she is ok.... |
| this was the first episode of Mahou Sensou I thought it was good others seem to have had the plot presented very fast ________ este foi o primeiro episodio de Mahou Sensou que eu achei bom os outros parecem que tiveram o enredo apresentado muito rapido |

| If violet only wants Twilight/Eterna then perhaps she made it or she is related to Takeshi's mother somehow. Meh. I liked this episode but I kinda feel bad because of how rushed this show is. It could have been a really cool anime :\ Is the LN translated into English? |
 |
| Finally an episode that is above average, but I still think this anime had potential to be one of the best of the season. is there a main character who is not useless in this anime? Another thing I didn't liked was the invasion, it seemed so simple and easy to invade that was kind of silly. |
 |
| I don't know about you guys but this episode rocked. It was worlds better than the last 8 episodes. Finally some magical warfare happens! I think this series just got a whole lot better! |

Just a difference in hair color between two shows may make shows appealing to people. While I can agree with most of you have said here, I do feel the need to point out that this technically is not considered a Shounen series. But, on the flip side of that, Shounen Manga/Anime is literally "Young boy's Manga/Anime". Aimed at boys ages 10 and up. While the word Shounen, itself, is used to describe boys from the time the enter elementary school until around 15 years of age. So, in a sense this could be considered Shounen, even though it is not categorized as such. I don't feel that it should be considered Shounen, which is why I brought this up in the first place. I see it as just your average, run of the mill, Fantasy/Action series. I also don't see it as taking itself very seriously, it relies heavily on stereotypes and cliches, and seems to have meshed it's plot together from several of the basic plot's from the Magical Fantasy genre. |

| Eh, if takeshi doesn't kill off his brother in this anime, I will be disappointed. I get the feeling he is going to save that POS and turn him good (-_- #). |
| I'm sorry doesn't gekkou seemed unreasonably powerful. Takeshi is on his second semester at that school how is he still so weak. |

Hibbington said: Wizard Brace Nepotism Sucks The Main Character Group sucks Ghost Trailers trying to kill all humans sucks Who am I suppose to be routing for? That I believe is both strongest and weakest point of this anime. I can't bring myself to feel sorry for WB when they murdered anyone who used magic besides them in the past. Even in recent history they blackmailed and murdered parents of those who didn't wanna join them. Trailers leader had his family murdered because he didn't want to join criminal organization. Now he's completely "dark side" by wanting nothing else but to exterminate whole WB. And while he's going overboard for that, I can't say I wouldn't feel the same in his position. MC and his gang on the other side are just a bunch of teenagers who can't even decide if they want to eat vanilla or chocolate ice-cream, let alone whom to trust in a war. All sides are going to extremities, and don't even start with "But WB changed their ways, they are good now". If they were good now they wouldn't keep lying to everyone about how Trailers came to be, they wouldn't lie about their past. If I were to choose side I'd go with trailers, because for all their stupidity they're at created on "noble" reasons. |
RazorRamona200 said: TAKESHI, TAKESHI, TAKESHI, Geeez, Kurumi you really are such a pussy. I love this comment! Seriously, you are 100% correct in both the literal and metaphorical sense, she IS a pussy! :P That said I find Takeshi to be even more of a pussy than her. Seriously man, you knew your brother was plotting something behind your back, he comes out and tells you straight up before the fight that he's here to steal your waifu and beat your ass senseless, and all the fuck that you can do is barely defend yourself and not run away with Kurumi when you had the chance. Did you really want your brother to beat you within an inch of your life sooo much? What the hell did you come to this academy for? Wasn't it to get stronger? How the hell can you be such a pussy when you got Mui's brother training you and shit? Seriously! As much as I can't stand Gekkou for NTR'ing his brother, I was so glad he beat his face in. In fact he should have done him in even more to make him feel more despair. I can't wait to see when Takeshi's face when he sees Kurumi get brainwashed and is like all over Gekkou. That would make for a great power-up/go crazy sequence. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| plot twist: making people hate the main characters is intended because they will just be killed of and then introduce new leads... :/ |
 someone else always have what you want, but it usually means nothing to them... |

| I can't stand this kind of useless MC. Really, I was almost rooting for him when he "conquered" Twilight, but everything went downhill after it. The only char that was worthy watching was Ida, but then, as all anime, he becomes a siscon. So we have a blondie friendzoned, a brocon girl, a siscon boy and a useless one. I'll only watch this to put it in the "completed list", but my brain still think I should drop it... Sad, and here I thought this show would be good |
| Somehow i have feeling like anime is just starting and with this pacing like it should be 24+ episodes. |
| Too much going on all at once. Most likely MC will get back sword and use some crazy white laser sword attack |
| Fuck this shit. |
| y'know, i think i would have been able to enjoy this eppisode they way it was meant to if i actually gave a shit about the chars, seein takeshit being stomped like that was quite hilarious. |
 |
| Well, things are on the right track for the anime now... though it looks like Wizard Brace is pretty much defeated now. I just wonder if the Ghost Trailers know about Gekkou's insanity issues, because they seem to honestly want Takeshi on their side. I'm sure the Ghost Trailers will still be the main antagonists but from what we know I actually want them to win at the moment (if they haven't already). Madara31 said: Looked to me like she was trying to help in some way there with her magic... not sure what you're talking about. So far we've yet to see where her magic can be used for combat purposes in any way. If Takeshi who is a pro with a sword couldn't beat his brother, who can teleport and kick his body 20+ feet away I don't see what more she could've done.I cannot believe the amount of times Kurumi shouted "Takeshi!" in this episode. She really is such a useless damsel in distress, and now Takeshi will typically have to go and save her useless self from the clutches of his douchebag brother. Such an annoying trope. Goodness, this anime can be so terrible at times. |
Hannah_Ana said: OML! Takeshi ain't worth shit in a fight! It's true that Gekkou is a psycopath, but I was sure Takeshi would put up a better fight. Isoshima is worthless, too. All she could do is just scream Takashi's name, kiss him, and then take his form. What good did that do for him or her? It showed that she was weak |
| cant believe how happy i was when i saw Takeshi getting beaten up by Gekko~ kill him already! |

HalibelTheEspada said: Her "help" didn't really do much at all did it? I wasn't saying she didn't try to help, I said she is useless, which she is. Trying to help doesn't make you helpful if you fail miserably. She's played the damsel in distress too many times already, and needs to learn that her magic isn't suited for situations of direct combat and so to keep away from such situations, unless she as a group to support her. Not saying Takeshi is awesome or anything but at least his magic is combat orientated.Madara31 said: Looked to me like she was trying to help in some way there with her magic... not sure what you're talking about.

Madara31 said: Is that a bad thing? When did she act like she was a fighter? Your argument doesn't really hold much ground, since she wasn't trying to fight here and you're basically saying "Wow she's useless why did she even try to fight?" when she never tried to fight... and they weren't ever expecting to fight Gekkou that way after all she was her friend and his brother.

Are you saying because she's a weak fighter she shouldn't even try to save her friend, or even resist at all? By this logic anyone who isn't good at fighting should just give up and die. |
HalibelTheEspada said: When did I ever say she tried to fight? Now you're putting words in my mouth. I said she tends to get herself in situations of direct combat when that isn't what her magic is suited for. I didn't say she's useless because she can't fight, I'm saying she's useless because she gets herself in situations where she can't do anything. Takeshi told her multiple times to get away from there, but she didn't listen, and ended up being captured because of it. When someone is stronger than you, they're stronger than you, yes. But Kurumi should have known she wasn't going to be able to do much in that situation. And in terms of the SITUATION, yes that makes her useless.Madara31 said: Is that a bad thing?

Once again, trying to help doesn't make you useful just because you tried. It's a harsh way of putting it but it's the truth. If you tried to help but utterly failed then what good did it do? none. And I'm really baffled as to how you came up with that final statement because that's not what my points indicate at all. Those who aren't good at fighting usually excel in other areas, as does Kurumi. But unfortunately, she always finds herself in situations where she can't do much. |
Madara31 said: Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions then, if so I apologize... didn't mean to put words in your mouth, it's just that it sounded like you're basically calling her useless as a human being because she didn't run away since she can't fight.

HalibelTheEspada said: Nah, she definitely did the nice thing in staying by Takeshi's side, just not the smart thing. She's not useless as a human being, it's just frustrating to see her always be so helpless. I despise the damsel in distress trope so I'm sure it annoys me far more than it does a lot of people.Madara31 said: Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions then, if so I apologize... didn't mean to put words in your mouth, it's just that it sounded like you're basically calling her useless as a human being because she didn't run away since she can't fight.

| Kazuma is now awake, finally its time for the Trailers to do some action... the Headmistress showing that she is a force to be reckoned with...the background music at that scene was nice too...then Violet-sensei just defeated her? wtf was that? talk about anti-climatic... Gekkou is, well, as expected, quite obviously, a Trailer...the 'forgiveness' thing was all an act...Gekkou is one crazy bastard, to think he is going to kill his own mother...also, Takeshi's brother complex is seriously annoying...no maybe Takeshi himself is annoying... those wings were cool! |
 don't worry, i know IMG tags are turned off...i'm just lazy to change my sig... xD |
BlackCrescent said: He won't kill her, but he will probably rape her to no end, and take away her freedom. I agree that the Trailers are the better party, but I don't think Gekkou is anywhere close to reliable or trustworthy, or hell even stable... and I doubt he gives two shits about the Trailers' ideals.To me it is the best episode in Mahou Sensou. Finally Wizard Brace gets stomped(Oh fk I can't forgive what they did in the past). I root for Trailers, their aim is much better than Wizard Brace. Takeshi should just let Gekkou take Kurumi and Twilight then everything will be peace. It's not like Gekkou is going to hurt Kurumi or what. |
| Takeshi is beaten to a pulp. Damn Gekkou! Whoo. |
