| Honestly I can totally see the article writer's point. There was zero tension in this final episode. It's a big, climactic fight and the series can't even be bothered to present us with anything more than wave after wave of faceless doomed mooks. The one antagonist they bothered to come up with was dispatched by the B team in a minute or two. Was the whole series shit because of it? No, there were some good parts. But yeah, Tatsuya made this series boring as hell. When your hero is that overpowered and you never provide a nemesis even stronger than that, then your show just sucks. Honestly when Miyuki used Niflheim to freeze those giant mechs in their tracks, this show jumped the shark for me. |
| Once again(emphasis on the "again"), Tatsuya godlike onii-sama confirmed. Well, it weird. I'm quite relieved that this is over, but I also want moar. Season 2 pls. |

| It was a rather unexciting finale, but that doesn't mean I disliked the show. It was kind of funny seeing that Tatsuya also had the ability to be a nuclear weapon. |
| Good series. Epic finale. That Material Burst. Anyone read the review that 5camp kid wrote? What a douchebag. Haters with poor taste will always hate. A lot of people are complaining that Tatsuya I too OP and "is basically god-like". Yea people...that's the whole fucking point. He was experimented on to basically be a magic weapon. His whole existence would be worthless if he wasn't a god. Another thing people are complaing about was how the GAA were basically cardboard cutout villains and didn't make the fights interesting. Again...that was the point. This whole arc was meant to show the difference between scrubs with guns, and the power of magicians. THEY LITERALLY SAY THAT AT THE END OF THIS EPISODE. I liked the series a bunch. Art and music were good. Tatsuya was godly. Miyuki was goddessly. The harem girls were all nice too. They explained all the magic being used so it didn't make everything look like asspulls. They left a lot of stuff open there at the end so hopefully we'll see a second season sometime. Personally I want to see more of the sexy Aunt, who despite the good looks is clearly a scheming villain. |

When your story is so bad that apologists try to justify it by saying "THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT, JOKES ON YOU PEOPLE" C'mon, Mahouka ain't satire. Occam's razor just says it's plain bad. |
| I did enjoy the series. Was it great? Not really. I was kind of excited for that last arc, but there was no real tension whatsoever. They were trying to make me think they were in bad shape, but all I could see was terrorist getting their ass kicked throughout the whole operation. Tatsuya's op-ness, mixed bag for me. It didn't make me dislike the show, but what it does is taking out all the tension from the show and makes it predictable, for any scenes he takes part in that is. While it does seems he has a price to pay for his godly powers, it's not really shown on screen. If there is a second season, I do hope we get to see Tatsuya more vulnerable. And he's not really that lovable too. I guess that would be my biggest complain. He is a robot, a unbalanced robot that needs a nerf. A shame, because otherwise I would have enjoyed it alot more I think. Still a 7/10 overall for me. |

So who's lacking common sense again? Please don't put every Mahouka fan in the same bucket. I won't (actually can't) deny everything that blogger said about the show because some of it is true. I think that Mahouka, on the surface, do not have a good story and it has everything but good characters. What I thought make Mahouka a good read is what has been mostly omitted in most of the anime: World building and descriptions. That blogger tried too hard to incorporate humor and derision into his points. He doesn't meant to give an objective outlook on the anime but to simply make fans of the anime angry and I find that despicable. While he may have tried to create a speech rich in content, it is completely ruined by it's form. I like the novels, I actually enjoy reading them and that is the only reason I have managed to find this anime enjoyable to begin with. Had I not read the novels, it is possible I would have dropped it altogether. We're all entitled to like whatever we wants, I like a lot of show that I know are full of flaws and I'm not getting on my horse every time someone point those to me. If the information is incorrect I will correct it, if it is correct then what does that change? Should I stop liking what I like because someone pointed it's flaw to me? If I have the right to like and dislike whatever I want then everyone has this right. I might not understand why anyone can like or dislike a X thing but accepting it is one the best form of respect you can do to someone. We live in a society where incest is taboo. Now I do not mind incest but some people do. Fans need to acknowledge that what they call 'wincest' can be looked down upon and can be seen as a negative point. You can bite and say that X guy isn't open minded because he doesn't think like you but that's doing the exact same thing as him: You aren't open minded enough to accept that not everyone is open minded in the same area as you. You (fans) are coming on this thread like it was your territory and want to hold a one sided discussion about how fantastic the latest episode has been or how X was better in the novel and may god forgive anyone who doesn't think like you or one of your beloved brethren. I do not remember WrenchBread (or most of those you fans call haters) insult and disrespect anyone so why are you allowed to? I don't know if it's because I like actually discussing my anime (and not jump on some one line bandwagon about how a show is shit/awesome) but I enjoy people trying to make these discussion thread serves their initial purpose: discuss. Whenever anyone point something negative about the show there's that brigade that just appear out of nowhere doing literally everything to protect what they consider a masterpiece from being tainted. If someone say the show lack tension there will be some fans that'll come write an essay about how this scene should have had tension with most of his explanation coming from the novels and if you do not agree with him you're either a troll or a retard, sounds pretty damn hypocritical to me. The same apply when someone says that a scene do not make sense. Congratulation guys, you read a book. I'm sure it was a different change from reading manga or other picture books and I'm also sure that most LN readers haven't read a two digit amount of novels. Coming here to explain in details why a scene make sense when it obviously do not make sense with the anime alone isn't only out of place, it seems like an attempt to be a condescending elitist. "I read novel, I can understand why this scene should have made sense so I am obviously superior to you". It would be fun if everyone could have fun discussing. We all have different taste and being angry over these differences is pointless and destructive. I would like to encourage everyone to hold a proper and mature discussion and if you are starting to get angry you are welcome to continue arguing with your arguing partner outside of the threads. |

| 8/10 Too OP. Everyone watching this might as well be Tatsuya and not shed a single tear or enjoyment. You already know the outcomes when anyone is facing against true god of the series. |
| Material Burst, The main spectacle B) Tatsuya successfully send fatal blow to the enemy Nice anime, S2 pls :D 8/10 |
 |
| Not bad for the show, definitely one of the best episodes of the series. Lu Gonghu shown to be a human powerhouse, only Mayumi beat him by outsmarting him. That was really believable. Loved watching the team getting the daylights kicked out of them. It's revealed Tatsuya's super healing is what causes his magical deficiency, but comes at some twisted price. Still though, he's not inherently bad at it, it's that he's running a spell at all times on top of everything else. God-like power is finally showing its upper limits. Tatsuya shows no visible distress using his healing powers. Miyuki is protected by an Eidos backup, up to twenty four hours. It's still going to be a 3.5 in my ratings. Just because you intentionally created a Gary Stu MC doesn't mean you're allowed to in writing and get away with it. There are things you can play around with it, but this is silly. He's also a one-man army, lightning bruiser, and devoid of all weakness. Did we also mention he's invincible? Sorry, that loses tons of points right there, since it makes conflicts with the MC (read: most of them) very boring and simply there to have the MC flex his muscles. Too many things added for the sake of moving along the plot. Author is guilty of a long list of generally bad tropes. Characters are flat, one dimensions, including the MC. Miyuki is the only one who appears to have a semblance of a personality. Plot, which gets a lot of bad device help, is mediocre, full of holes, and generally boring. Screen play and animation are trash. All contributing to the low score of the entire anime for me. |

| I can't help but feel that in the end it was a pointless and banal series |
 |
| Hmm i don't know, i feel really confused about this anime. While i think that some episodes were great, it wasn't really that exciting. The whole magic vs mechanical never got to me, possibly because about 80 percent was about what happened at the school. I don't know.. i might need to watch it again someday because i feel like some pieces are missing. |
konatachan80 said: Somehow the reactions mostly seem to say: We want our usual whiny bratty whipped male MC back. Unbalanced.. Well, there are insanely rich guys irl, there's also very poor people out there..Balanced? Btw, that was one of the points that was made in the last arc, as said at the end of the last episode. It isn't really that far from when some started using gunpowder weapons while most didn't have (or knew about) such a thing. As you probably know, it's been numerous transitions like that until today. Oh come on, there aren't just two types of MC one can have. But Tatsuya...Tatsuya isn't a Gary Stu,he's basically a godlike being,one that's boring as heck to watch. A whiney MC might've been more entertaining to a degree at least. |
Sacrieur said: how was he a human powerhouse? he was defeated in 3 minutes and was seen/talked about as the biggest threat so far in the anime.. just pathetic villains all over the place.Lu Gonghu shown to be a human powerhouse |
 |
| A bit confusing at the start, but summed it all up over the anime course. Not exactly something special but it was good. 7/10 |
| So that's the end, at least for now. The last episode was better than episode 25, for sure. Glad they didn't cut out the explanation about Regrowth. And also loved the animation of Material Burst. I'm still maintain that they should make Enrollment and 9SC arc in one season, and then the Yokohama arc in the next season, that way they won't have to cut a lot of interesting stuff and scenes in the LN. I would recommend anyone who enjoyed or liked this series to read the novel, it helps a lot to fill the missing 'pages'. Overall, this series has its ups and downs. The fight/battle scenes were the best part, while the lack of internal monologues was the worst part. I think now they would animate volume 8, the hints are all there, maybe as a short movie or something. I shall wait for it. I do hope they will make the second season out of this, still plenty of materials there. And oh, this time, please make a whole season for the next arc :) |
GloriousKaiser said: No tension No wrap ups No character development No story to begin with Boring characters Bad Writing Cliche No Gods No Masters/10 Pretty much sums up my thoughts on Mahouka. It was the most boring anime I watched. I'm sure there are ones much more boring out but I just drop those. I just forced myself through this after 14 eps in when I was ready to drop it just to see how much more OP can they make Tatsuya and how many times will we hear "onii-sama" from Miyuki. But it was boring as hell all the way through. I usually just drop shows that I'd rate lower than 5 or even 6 at times, but sometimes a few slip by. Mahouka get's a 3/10 from me. The 1st season of SAO is better than this,maybe significantly so and this is coming from someone who gave SAO 1 a 6/10. As for SAO II, it blow's Mahouka out of the water so far. That being said, I'm gonna a 2nd season if it ever get's one for pretty much the same reasons I continued to watch this. |
| So how are they going to top in the next season (if there is one)? Change the orbit of the planet or something? |

| I liked it. I think I'm going to miss all of the onii-sama's lol. 7/10 |
 |
| 3.79 Onii-sama per minute... |
No wonder, dragon with no head must be retarded. |
jakkubus said: 22 minutes * 26 episodes = 572 minutes.3.79 Onii-sama per minute... So it's actually 0.29 Oni-sama per minute. Unless they only count the time she was on screen. Edit: It is about 6 or 7 per episode though which is a better rate representation than per minute anyway. |
 |
| Summary of this anime: Tatsuya is the real kami-onii-sama. |
| For anyone interested,the manga for Mahouka Koukou no Rettouseii: Tsuioku-hen (adaption of volume 8 Reminiscence Chapter ) is already translated up to chapter 7 of the manga,if you want to know about the siblings past before Miyuki went onii-sama crazy,but too lazy to read the LN :) |
| This show was pretty confusing, I guess I enjoyed it. It has been fun. 8/10 |
| In all fairness.. having an OP character with an OP ability and OP strength.. really didnt make the ending so spectacular >.< It was expected and cliche and it didnt really give me the same hype as Episode 16. Nevertheless, there is definitely a season 2 coming :D |
 |
| Despite all the criticism I am proudly admit that I loved this anime. It's great for once to see a main character who is both STRONG and COOL-HEADED. Most anime's have either weak whiny wimpy protagonists or wimpy whiny weak protagonists. Ok maybe theres some exaggeration but hopefully you get the point. I absolutely loved fact that Tatsuya was immensely powerful, maybe to the point of overpowered. Loved his calm commanding-demeanour. And lastly I loved the sibling-care he had. Although I loved the series as a whole I was still a little disappointed with this episode... Lillibo0 said: I absolutely agree. Having an OP character I really felt no excitement or climax this episode...I was hoping to see some badass 1 on 1 skills not some nuclear sniping.In all fairness.. having an OP character with an OP ability and OP strength.. really didnt make the ending so spectacular >.< It was expected and cliche and it didnt really give me the same hype as Episode 16. Nevertheless, there is definitely a season 2 coming :D Nevertheless great anime. Immensely hoping for a second season. P.S. I loved all the onii-sama. Miyuki is adorable. Will miss her. Tatsuya x Miyuki XDDD (I don't approve of incest but at this moment I still have no idea if they are blood related siblings...After all they mentioned that they were twins but born on different months on the first episode). Edit: Don't hate. I haven't read the LN so I still have no idea what exactly is going on. |
| I like how right after he created a giant ass crater, he just stared and admired his work. I was annoyed with Tatsuya at first, but then I realized him as our lord and savior. I pray to Godsuya we get another season, amen. |

| The scene where Tatsuya was flying above the mecha. Only one word came to my mind. JESUS |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Tatsuya and his Power Rangers were invincible till the end The actions were spectacular! Two shots with the third eye were disturbing to me as if the memories of two A-bombs have been faded Join the army! Even your farts will magicly kill the enemy in range, but yourself Adding a Three Kingdom reference too as if they whirlwinded their opponents like Dynasty Warriors Poor Lu Gonghu Miyuki got to hug Tatsuya at the end and that's a plus... I guess |
rladls717 said: For Koreans, they see Tatsuya as a mass murderer because of episode 26. ... In my opinion though, I also think that it is not good that this series exists. This series not only represents Japan, but biggest of all represents the feelings and personality of the person who wrote this series. Tsutomu Satou, the author of this series. Still, there is no helping it. We, humans always want something after all. We are all the same, what each person want diffrent things, whether it is good or bad. Interesting view, I wonder what the rest of East-Asia would think of the second half especially China and Russia Tsutomu Satou would probably respond:"Stop pirating and I'll write some sexy story about you" But it's scary indeed |
| these stuff about the heroic japanese vs the evil guys didnt bother me, we see this all the time with hollywood movies, the only difference its that its Merica saving the world from the evil guys anyways its faster to mention the stuff i liked about this show, a few tracks were good, animation was good for the most part an i liked Erikas design (not the character itself just her design) an thats about it 3/10 |
 |
| I-I'm actually kinda genuinely surprised that I was able to tolerate this series without too much trouble. Onii-sama is probably one of the most overpowered, broken characters ever.....but I was ok with the way it was done. He wasn't played up to be some self insert underdog that somehow always manages to defeat the enemy, screams about friendship and constantly says how unlikable he is while having a massive harem *cough* Jesus/Kirito-kun *cough* The show basically tells you straight away "this guy is broken as fuck......now watch as he kills some people" and when he let loose in the final arc it was actually kinda cool. I'd take this over SAO every day of the week (though I don't know if that's saying much) I was actually able to watch it without feeling like the writer was insulting me. |
| The Gary-Stu at magic high school.... But still enjoyable even though it's predictable as fuck..... 6.5/10 |
 |
| If only Leo was the main protagonist instead of Tatsuya, this show could be far more entertaining. I would give it a 6 or 7. Well I am in a good mood right now so 7 it is (tho I will most likely change it to 6 some days later) I really liked some side-characters like Erika, Leo, Shizuku etc. as well as some pairings (not including the onii-sama pairing) Bye-bye Mahouka. |
 |
| season II? Rate : (10/10) from me |
made by bunnyama |
| Mahouka.. Tch! it's over. it's my fav this season though. many Kill, Godlike and Rampage by Tatsuya. novel done. Tatsuya.. i don't have interest. and... this anime is like a prologue |
| Skill 1 - Mask Maker. Skill 2 - Binding Spell. Skill 3 - Conceal Darkness. Skill 4 - Mind Shield.. |
