That is kind of what I was wanting at the end of the movie. A hint toward Season 2? I do not think the last bit showing Tatsuya with a bloom is enough to count as a hint of season 2, but this series really needs a 2nd season. I felt like there were plenty of hints throughout the movie for a continuation, but that is coming from an "anime only" fan. They could have just been throwing easter eggs for the LN readers. |

No hints of a season 2, which makes sense considering that this story takes place after two arcs where the anime ended(anime ended at vol 7, movie takes place after volume 11.) When we get a s2 will most likely depend on how well the Blu-ray/DVDs sell. |

Or perhaps producer didn't want them to make Onepunch S2. Well that said we do actually got Overlord season 2.

| Btoom was one of the biggest disasters in BD/DVD sales, probably the reason it didn't get a season 2. Mahouka on the other hand I believe has good chances, the fact that it is Madhouse won't interfere much since it's not up to Madhouse, the ones who decide about a second season is the commite: - Aniplex - Square Enix - Kadokawa (Ascii Media Works) - Movic The biggest problem is Kadokawa since their production budgets are usually limited and for LN promotion, however, they did do the movie, so they probably have interest in the series, especially since it opened up BD/DVD sales pretty well last week with 31k sales. |
| It was slightly better than I expected for 2/3 of the run but turned out bad regardless. Still much better than the series, downplaying a lot of my major issues with it regarding visuals, music, and the main two siblings, but it's still a lackluster and dumb film that changes its threat halfway for o reason. Least we got to see these guys our of those dreadful uniforms and into a bunch of clothes that are pretty fashionable. 4/10 still way better than the TV anime |

| I haven't read the novel. Lina is new, isn't she? Frankly speaking, I don't like the way they introduce the new characters. This definitely needs a prequel or at least a short series introducing the new characters. |
 |
| Seeing the STARS in the movie was amazing. I'm not too sure regarding Season 2 because at the very end of the movie they didn't specifically announce it but they did animate something that doesn't have to do with the plot from the movie so... Maybe they're testing the waters? The LN already sells very well, if the movie Blurays/DVDs sells well then I'm sure we'll see an announcement by Spring or Summer. If not then well there's always the chance they'll pull a Full Metal Panic on us by releasing the next season 7 years after the LN ended (and 13 years after the last season. All I'm hoping for is that they don't put out an OVA this year or next one. For me whenever I see an anime get an OVA months (or a year) after the last season it tells me that that's it (since they usually bundle that OVA with the Bluray/DVD re-release to get extra sells) but hey that's just me. |
| I don’t know man, I wanted to see more action scenes/fights, after all this was a movie... I was a little disappointed. |
 |
| Since I've read the LNs so even if the movie had some plot coherence issue and some absurd magic powerup, still was pretty enjoyable. Got to see Lina animated with Hikasa Yoko as seiyuu. Lol, scary Onii-sama..... 8/10. |
| Had to recheck that I didn't miss a whole season between season 1 and this movie. Feels like it was made for people who read the light novels and not for the anime only watchers. Besides all that, quality was about as good as the series. Mediocre for a full length movie. |
| Great and awesome movies, nearly forgot about the omnipotent Onii-sama lol But sadly I can't give it a full score, the movie itself is great, the main plot is typical, the art and animations style and the bgm input is nearly perfect, all in all it's 8/10, one is deduction from the lack of past plot to connect to the current plot after a long seasons break, it begets more questions and puzzlements rather than entertaining, the other one is due to lack of misaka kokoa eye covered version scenes. |
 |
| I was disappointed in how little interplay and exchange there was between new girl and the main cast. She barely talks to them. Miyuki blushing and saying oni-sama every 30 seconds still cracks me up. That look Tatsuya gave Kokoa at the end was a bit weird. |

| I watched the TV anime in 2015 so seeing Onii-sama being badass again made me quite nostalgic! Miyuki was as adorable as I remembered her, bonus points now that I recognize VAs, not being able to appreciate Saori Hayami's back then is disappointing. Pretty enjoyable movie, but for what I read they skipped quite some volumes so some stuff is confusing, like Lina's introduction so I had no idea who she was, it's a shame but I honestly kinda prefer that over a half-assed recap of her character. Anyways, I had a good time watching it, 6/10 from my part, it was nice to come back to Mahouka for a bit. |
 |
| Fun movie. But I don't like how they skipped Lina's introduction in the anime and other scenes as well which sucks. Hoping for a 2nd season soon. Maybe this 2018. |
| Welp, I enjoyed this more than the anime heheh. Yes, their is still some bullshit here and there but the action was top notch. The characters were enjoyable and the soundtrack was sick! Solid 7/10, I didn't want a second season tbh but now I wouldn't mind it. This still could have been amazing if it wasn't for weird stuff here and there and it's actually really hard to follow along casually |
 |
| Dull and empty movie for a dull and empty series. Sasuga onii-sama 4/10 |
| average as hell.. |
changben said: Hey question for all the LN readers here, I personally was also a LN reader up to the end of the visitor arc. I personally love the whole magic system and world politics that Mahouka built up, so I was so satisfied to see so many LN details and easter eggs sprinkled throughout the movie. But I'm also a bit nitpicky about details tho so please help me on clarifying some questionable observances that occurred in the movie that may/may not affect LN consistency? 1) I remember in earlier volumes that specified Miyuki's range for her sensory abilities in comparison to Tatsuya's far superior sensory range (due to Elemental Sight), but in the movie it looked like they just made Miyuki use some form of "Sight" to read into the Eidos dimension to detect/identify the enemy submarine before freezing it. I thought Miyuki's sensory abilities to read Eidos was limited to touch and smell? When was she able to use a "Sight" ability like Tatsuya or Mayumi? 2) Getting to see Lina's magic (especially Heavy Metal Burst) animated was very satisfying. However, what was shown in the movie leads to assume that Lina's Brionac wasn't used at all? Brionac was supposed to look like a spear/pole, not a rifle. And Heavy Metal Burst used in conjunction with Brionac is supposed to resemble a plasma "laser beam". Therefore, I have to assume that Lina only used the normal variation of her Heavy Metal Burst, with some rifle-CAD, and not Brionac. 1)All magicians have the ability to access the information dimension and Miyuki is a first rate talent, so I believe she just expanded her senses in order to sense objects from farther distances. She doesn't have a visual ability like Tatsuya, Mizuki, or Mayumi, but her senses in general are top tier. 2)You are correct, Lina was only using Heavy Metal Burst at a strategic level in the movie, so she didn't need Brionac as that is only for when she needs to use HMB in high risk combat situations and its the only CAD that allows her to use HMB in such a way. |

| The movie was surprisingly good. Especially compared to the TV anime. |
No wonder, dragon with no head must be retarded. |
| Wow such an amazing movie. While the story itself was pretty standard as things go i felt that simplicity was its greatest strength. And it was nice seeing Tatsuya and friends decide to embark on the mission to rescue the girls. I also enjoyed the moments within the movie where each of the cast got to shine especially Mayumi's threat to that fighter pilot and Erika's spirited defence against the madman. The inclusion of Lina was a surprise though but i really enjoyed seeing her interaction with Tatsuya and Miyuki. Too bad we won't see her arc in an anime though. Still a well designed movie that had a great story and made great use of its characters that were matched with some excellent combat scenes. |

Linkmstr said: Well it was the same staff who worked on the anime, so the studio change didn't make a difference really.Well, if I didn't know this was done by 8-bit beforehand, I would have been fooled that Madhouse did it. Pretty impressive work that they've done aside from the awkward CG use. |

| The movie was actually amazing. the colouring was great, the action was great…story was not complicated making it captivating…really enjoyed it…to think this all happen during the break |
 |
| Oh... didn't realize i never made a comment even after i watched the film... and now i lost my gifs lol |
 |
| I enjoyed this movie more than i expected to lol. Art and Animation was great, OST was on point and great. Madhouse basically outsourced this project to 8-bit with the same staff from the TV anime with the 8-bit employees as extra help (now that i look at it now i know why, madhouse was pretty busy last year with projects under the wraps). Movie was good, gotta protec dem lolis bro. Magic system continues to impress me. Ahhhh god dammit Miyuki x Tatsuya is so cute together. I love their interactions. Im not gonna lie, that suit and the cloak Tatsuya looked badass asf. I hope for a Season 2 announcement :D |

| Gah..that was worse than the show. Really it was sooo boring, then to have the dude in a suit of armor that was basically how Darth Vader SHOULD have looked, considering Gearge lucas stole the concept from study of samurai...I just...*smfh* |
| Honestly, that was the most utter trash movie I've ever seen in a long time. The only good thing was the OST and art. |
 |
| That was honestly terrible, I came in with pretty low expectations because I wasn't a very big fan of the original series and this was much worse. The best part was without a doubt the animation and music but everything else was a huge letdown. Even if I look past the extremely generic plot and want some mindless action I would just be let down some more. There were times where I had hoped the action would at least be fun but nope they either skipped it, talked the entire fight, or just used a crazy amount of stills. I wish I could get my 90 minutes back. |
| I counted 22 Onii-sama's, who got more? Kinda expected atleast 500. The movie wasnt as bad as I expected, quite nice actually. But it felt more like something which should have been done in 3 or 4 episodes rather than a movie. Did not feel special enough for it to be a movie and it was kinda out of place. Also I havent watched the series in years but I would say it looked actually better than the movie. Sooo it had not even that going for it. But it was kinda nice to have Mahouka back, I still want a second season. Something about this setting is just ridiculous enough to get me interested. Also, first Jesus-kun, then Jesus-kun plus and now darth vader? Keep going Onii sama. A thing I noticed, Tastuya-sama looks always incredibly displeased when he looks at somebody other than his sister, like, the loli he just saved smiles at him, he gets even more grumpy. Thats kinda hillarious. PS: Considering it was not the only franchise movie we got at the time, I have to compare it to NGNL and SAO. Definitely way worse than NGNL, but that one was just way to good. But I liked it kinda more than the SAO one, so there is that. Gave it a 7 just like the series, should have been a six but I have not watched the series in years like I said so I just rate them together, considering it felt like just some additional eps. Oh yes I should clarify Im an anime only watcher, so I have not read the LN and yeah it was kinda out in the open but whatever, its not like something super important was going on, just that Lina was completely unintroduced. Like, why choose this to be a movie. Just give us the second season. Because Im even more tempted to give it a 6.. Hurr durr but muh madhouse, as we can see with OPM 2 right now, a madhouse anime can get a second season from another studio than madhouse, so.. hope is still there? |

| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Well, this was a mediocre but entertaining watch. Something more of a spin-off and little bit of a sequel, or so it feels like now that I’ve watched the movie. As expected, the animation and sound department of this show was absolutely brilliant and blended in well with the action scenes and choreographies. However, the story felt a little bland throughout and the Characterization of the show was fairly good. New Characters were introduced and we weren’t given enough backstory to have a feel for them, so that’s a little disappointing. Well, the usual cast itself was fine so no biggies here. Emphasis on the Storyline here though. Like the tv series, pacing of this show felt odd and rushed towards the end. Had the movie spanned, say about another 15 mins or so, I would assume we would have gotten more details but there’s no helping that. Overall though, it was satisfactory. I wonder what those last 25 s or so of the show was about. Hopefully, it’s hinting for a Season 2 but I wouldn’t place my bets on it. Seriously though, what was it all about? Storyline/Plot Development: 6/10 Characterization/Character Development: 7.5/10 Art/Animation: 9/10 Sound Department: 8.5/10 Enjoyment: 8/10 => Overall: 7.25/10 |

Is that Kurosawa's naked body? If so... SUGOI! Dat Erika, Honoka, and Miyuki oppai. Where the fuck are the nipples? WTF!!!!!!!!! You literally drew the oppai like there was suppose to be nipples there. Holy shit! That was actually Mizuki, not Kurosawa. Dat oppai. Stop fucking with me. I see that Honoka nipple in the mist.

| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| I'm not big fan of prequel. It doesn't change after this movie. Watchable and that's all. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| It was bad, felt rushed. I did not read much past visitors arc, but I can only imagine that most people are super confused by how everyone is familiar with Lina. |
| I shall know no fear as I am fear incarnated |
| In case nobody is aware, the English subbed BD is now available for pre-order! Hopefully the sales of the BD will influence an announcement of a second season since the series gets really interesting around Volume 16 from what I hear. |
