Finally the greatest anime character returns, Godsuya Shiba! I'm so hyped for this season, and this episode didn't disappoint me. I'm sold, ASCA's opening was great.

Hopefully a 26 episodes season.

Isnt the chronological order of this series supposed to be S1 - Movie - S2?

This was quite an enjoyable episode. Nice a chill, we got some of those tatsuya elements that we love.

I laughed some bit when Saijou was like "Hey, it's that magic girl from the shrine."

Anyways, I liked it. Which is a surprise because I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. 7.5. Fun stuff guys. worth the watch.

good to know i'm not the only one who felt the animation quality took a step back.

I wasn't a big fan of this arc in the LNs but glad to have Mahouka back in any case.

I felt i would never be able to watch a second season of Mahouka but is finally here... And i couldnt be more excited!

But first, i knew the quality in the animation would be different (since this is being animated by 8bit instead of Madhouse) but i didnt expect to be like this. Is so weird but still seems good and i can not wait to see a fight scene.

I read the LN so also another thing is it felt a little bit fast paced, however i understand why, there are a lot of things that needs to be animated.

Pretty okay episode,I don't remember much from season 1 but the fact that the MC is OP as fuck. I hope there's less bullshit in this season and less onii-sama as well. The animation seems very stiff and lazy though.

Starting with the new year, it looks like it's going to be a happy Christmas. I prefer Lina's yukata than Miyuki's.

New transfer student, Angelina. I'm still curious about Lina's relationship with Stars and Sirius, a brief duel with Tatsuya was also shown. I feel that Lina is a troublesome tsundere character.

Finally, the second season i've waited so much for is here!
I've got to say that i had my share of doubts when i heard that 8bit will animate this one instead of madhouse, but after the trailers and the first episode it's not the case. I love the new graphics and they did a great job animating this first episode.
I read the light novels and this episode does well its job of 'exposition' presenting us with the USNA traitor problem and Lina's temporary transfer to the First High in order to investigate the strategic-class magician that Japan seemed to have kept hidden from the rest of the world.

Now with the characters, we have our beloved onii-sama which in my opinion seems a bit more 'lively' than in the first season. Once again he's proving us just how epic he is as he is using clever dialogue to unmask Lina.

I rated this 4/5 since i see a bit room for improvement but this was deffinetly my fav first episode this season (ofc its also due to bias tho)
p.s. Lina best girl

Maybe they'll create a movie for it. I really wanted to watch the past of the Shiba siblings.

If anyone hasn't read the ln/manga for the Reminiscence Arc, go read it now. Read the manga for a faster read but if you want more detail read the ln. There is also the option of going to the Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei wiki to read the synopsis of the arc.

After so long its nice to see Mahouka return once more. The strike against the alliance back then by Tatsuya really served to show the world that Japan does not need to fear China ever again huh. Hmm eliminating deserters huh a grim task that. Still the ability to leap across rooftops sure gave magicians unparalleled agility. Christmas time huh what a time to go off for student exchange though. The shrine visit though sure was fun and did well to showcase how pretty the girls were when wearing kimono's. Damm Lina's outfit looks so strange. Her reaction at being lectured sure was amusing. Honoka's as cute as ever. Lina though sure struck faster than predicted though. Her slip up though was so funny. But Lina's mission sure got complicated fast with the appearance of more deserters in her AO. Overall a solid opening ep that did well to reintroduce us to the cast as well as in introducing both Lina and the threat that Tatsuya and co will soon face. Its a shame that they skipped some of the little moments that serve to add some life to Lina though. Given the arc is 3 volumes in total i think its a safe bet that this will be a half season. Hopefully this will be enough though.

The beginning kinda felt like I was watching a futuristic “Fire Force” anime XD

Red haired Lina is so much cooler than the blonde Lina tho...

Anyway, I don't read the light novel and it's been 6 years since I watched season 1. So it's confusing. Though I did watch the movie a few months ago. Well, no matter how much I watch this it'll always be confusing to me. I'm just gonna watch it for Tatsuya's badass fighting and the music and obviously the cheesy romance of the Shiba siblings XD

I wish LiSA or Garnidelia did the OP again.

Episode 1 pace is mess, its unlike Mahouka that I used to know. First half of this anime is okay and I like Lina as a character. But I feel 8 bit really rushed 2nd half of this episode.

For example, after Lina first introduction to Tatsuya & friends, they skipped timeline to one week after those event. Why Lina introduction seemingly rushed? I dont remember Mahouka story pace (either LN & s1) is like this.

To be honest, we need more Lina screen time in first episode. Sadly, the studio seemingly rush this adaptation so they can covers up into Lina first mission in Japan.

I really like 1st season and I hope 8 bit didnt mess this adaptation.

That's not material burst, her spell is Heavy Metal Burst (heavy metals are transformed into high energy plasma; the magic disseminates amplified solar ions over a wide area by creating gas, an electromagnetic repulsive force, and increased high pressure.)

Tatsuya's Material Burst is the ultimate Decomposition Magic. It has been likened to a magical equivalent of a nuclear warhead, and operates similarly on fundamental principles of physics; by converting matter into energy, it performs comparable destruction without the radioactive material fallout.The energy released by Material Burst can be calculated using Einstein's mass-energy equivalence equation (E=mc²), in which energy released through the decomposition of matter is the mass of the decomposed matter multiplied by the speed of light squared. This shows that when Material Burst is used upon "...a single drop of water, a paltry 50 milligrams of matter, the explosion created has the power equivalent of 1000 tons of TNT."

Pretty good ep overall.

Glad to have Mahouka back after so long and see the cast of characters again. It's cool it's not taking it's time to get right into the thick of things and Angelina seems like she'll be a interesting character.

Very much am looking forward to the next ep.

Aye, our insanely dense and op MC back. Hope we get more cute Miyuki moments this season.

I'm gonna assume that the OP was playing in place of the ED this episode, and it's pretty good. The visuals are a tad spoilerish but look good regardless.

Looking forward to the next ep.

Precisely, I'm also guilty for this. Re-watched the anime thrice already just to see OP Tatsuya. And also the magic system and world building is very interesting. Nevertheless, for me, Tatsuya was and is the main reason why I watch (and read) Mahouka.

Onii-sama is back!!! I watched the first season this year -from June to August to be more precise- and I'm glad that they showed the last incident in Season 1 making the continuity more consistent.

First episode was kinda good! Lina is fun to watch! America joins to the plot, im curious about how this is going to be developed in the future. I was trolled at first cuz I thought that the character with red hair and Lina were different characters! lmaooo

Great episode. It does seem like they are speeding through the light novel content but that's alright. The visuals don't seem as impressive as season 1 but its fairly close. Glad this got a season 2 however.

Anyone watching this should have seen season 1 first as it would be confusing without the context.
