| Impressive production quality, the fight scene was pretty good! And awesome OP! Didn't know this was incest :D Glad to see the MC is a badass, also liking Miyuki so far~ Pretty good first episode, looking forward to the rest :D |
| good ost, good production value, setting is pretty standard but still good. really like tetsuya. a main character who acts mature and does not look like a teenager. not a fan of miyuki. would not hurt if one series could do without the "oniisama i want you SOO BAD" but that is the only bad thing so far. promising start |

| 1st I'll give credit where credit is due: The male lead is the total opposite "of being a pussy-ass self-insert" for the sake of the "no-life otaku" who are the animu fanbase. Tatsuya's an actual do-something soldier who looks out for his clingy, yet also do-something, sister. 2ndly: Dat Weeds Vs Blooms Beef. That should be interesting. 3rd: No upskirt panty shots. But I guess I can forgive it since a show really doesn't need panty shots to actually be good. I give it a 3/5. |

| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
| Honestly, I dunno about this.. I was really hyped up by the idea of a brother sister relationship with the main characters for once, but the excessive amounts of "onii-sama~" and the blushing makes the sister seem so.. articificial imo. Interesting Mc though. |
 |
| My gosh the many times I heard onii chan so much was in a hentai ,but In this show wow,Tatsuya sister is she really her sister,so many times she blushed and he seemed to think it was normal. The art seems really great,the fight scene not blurry good or great!why do I sence a hint of incest in this show?! Oh crap it is incest?! Oh well .... Nakamura Seiyu as the big bro. Again. I think the OST is great and the opening sounds awesome Lisa your songs are awesome. |

Think it'll beat Madoka Blu-Ray volume 1? Which had 68k sales? Seriously though, it's still too early to predict such a number. Actually, this anime has all the makings for based Japan to buy the f*ck out of it. I am not sure how high the sales are going to reach, but I am sure it will be around the 60k mark. I expect them to do OVAs and probably a movie before S2 though. |

Now 16K would sound more believable. |

| From all the reading, it sounds like this series is going to be awesome. After the first episode, I was wondering what the hell is a CAD, blooms and weeds, but now I know haha. |
 |
| BETTA BE MORE WINCEST 7/10 IDK LET'S SEE. COULD BE GOOD. COULD ALSO BE BAD. WINCEST |
| Disliked the first episode. I'll watch 3 more weeks, if it doesen't get better it will get dropped. 4/10 |
| Incest is NOT wincest. |
 |
| No mention on Chrome Shelled Regios? |
|
| Fair enough. Also Soda, how far in the LN do you think the anime will adapt? You seem to be the most knowledgeable person here for Mahouka, so I'd thought I'd ask. |
|
| Watched the first episode and is having mixed thoughts on it. Definitely suggesting the main character is supposedly overpowered and hiding his powers... for whatever reason. The incest undertones are thus far unexplained, so definitely something to watch. The episode is definitely not the strongest of openings. |

This is a show that will get progressively better and better, pacing wise it will be similar to Steins Gate I guess. I'll leave it to your own perspective in determining the quality of this show and I hope you enjoy it. |
| This seems to be one of the few anime this season to hold my interest. I give it praise for it's more adult character designs! Animation seems good, interesting back story and concept, but the main story and setting is on the cliche side (for now). |
 |
| 03:24 dat burakon 05:02 nope, you're Roka!!! Miyukin choumoe〜 7/10 for this ep. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| watching this coz i love the uniform ^_^ |
 |
| Hm.. pretty dull premiere, and yeah, that brocon imouto kinda annoying. Maybe it will gets better though (hopefully). |

| tatsuya seems a shady character |

Lucifier_J said: snip Wait, is this post serious? This is one of the most obnoxious forum replies I've seen in a while. (1a)The suffix -sama is used in very special cases, almost entirely toward elderly seniors as it's an extremely formal suffix. The widespread use of "onii-sama" in anime/manga/LNs does not represent its real world usage and, in fact, only fetishizes it for the people who consume media that incorporate it. To imply that not being Japanese means learners of the language (from native speakers esp) could never hope to grasp the meaning is the most inane thing I've read all week. F*** off. (1b) No, I don't have a problem with showing the utmost respect for someone who essentially saved your ass. However, just from how Miyuki acts toward Tatsuya and how she reacts to misunderstandings of their relationship, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that her love for him is beyond that of regular sibling love. (2a) Wait, are you seriously trying to equate Madoka to Mahouka? One is a total subversion of the magical girl genre while the other is a straight play of the tropes that plagues light novels today. What is Mahouka subverting? What does it try to do different? The reason why Madoka was so great is that it took our expectations and turned it upside in a compelling manner, asking the questions, “What would happen if being a magical girl had [dire] consequences, and it was not all sugar and rainbows? How would they react?” And if you ask me, it seems Fullmetal Alchemist did everything better, 10 years ago. And let’s not confuse the word “epic” with “good,” because while the story does escalate into almost hilariously bad territory, it’s not particularly good. “Rare gem?” This is just an LN that got lucky and struck gold as opposed to the many others there like it, much like the Twilight series. Lucifier_J said: As for those who are making a fuss saying 'incest this, incest that', you might end up closing your mouth shut if the anime covers the 8th volume. Saying words like 'incest' is like insulting their unique relationship. Their feelings are nothing as trivial as 'lust'. On the contrary, it's the epitome of pure feelings that two people can ever feel for each other. Get the f*** off your high horse. では、他のがあるのか、 |
wrenchbread said: At that last quote that the dude said though, incest is literally a disgusting thing and is almost always sided with some type of sexual assault or rape. I don't care how unique or whatever you say their relationship is, it's still incest and fetishizing something that more than enough people have to deal with in a traumatizing matter is gross in itself.Lucifier_J said: snip Wait, is this post serious?

| I think the LN readers should really stop trying to promise the show is going to get better. There is a chance that the adaptation butchers the source material, in which case it wouldn't matter how good the source is. The makers no doubt intends or at least expect this kind of reaction from the viewers by focusing on the incest vibes and other genericness. If they are going to wow the audience, it clearly hasn't been done yet. Would they in the future? Who knows. The show still has time to redeem itself. |

First episode is like a 5/10 while the LN writing is easily a 2/10. And LOL @ Lucifer J implying that "sama" is not just used for the "moe" factor. I smell weeaboo on this one. |

| I can tell this show had a slow start in order to get us all introduced to the characters/magic system. There's no reason for people to be bashing the episode so hard. And thanks to the LN readers addressing the "incest" about 5 billion times on these forums, we all know that the uniqueness of the bro/sis relationship is based on an event that has yet to be told, not because they want to get in each other's pants. In other words, no need to complain or worry about incest. As for the quality of the anime, that will be easier to judge after the first 3 or 4 episodes. |

| OH MY GOD! I LOVED IT! This first episode was just amazing! |
Game over. If that's the case, I just have to play again. |

The opening episode does have to bear the burden of the entire show until further episodes come out to share that. I think people shouldn't be concerned with one episode being bashed. If it gets better people will stop bashing the series. |
| I'm not sure what this anime is getting at, but I'll give it a try few more episodes. |

Lucifier_J said: You're seriously asking me what Mahouka does different? Have you really read the series or just skimmed through its pages? And just how many volumes did you read? From what I've observed so far after visiting various forums, those who didn't get the series are the only ones who say negative things about it. Many of them were not able to understand the working of magic and stuff and the depth of the story and characters because of the amount of detail the writer used to add the sense of reality (which is absent in all the magic related series) and suspense to Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei. Let me ask you one thing, did you ever get the feeling that Mahouka universe is realistic... that things could turn out that way in our world? If no, then sorry to say this but you never actually understood Mahouka even if you read its LN. Etc. Etc. Etc. After seeing this reply, couldn’t help but respond here, because really, for all the talk about of arrogance and high horses here, your entire reply reeks of more arrogance than any reply here. Some of the previous replies may have been somewhat combative, but at least none of them are basically telling people that their views are wrong because “they didn’t understand.” That has to be the worst kind of response to this type of thing, and really, it’s also total nonsense to believe you understand a material much better than others who read it, especially if you are not the creator himself. Say what you will about thinking you view it a different way, but don’t go saying shit like that. The fact you say that reeks of having no actual argument worth mentioning and it’s the kind of comment more likely to get people NOT to watch than to do so. Lucifier_J said: Then, you're just a mere Madoka fanboy/fangirl who wasn't able to withstand the fact that Mahouka is a lot better than Madoka I presume? This brings me to my second point here, and it’s to stop trying to include Madoka here as some kind of crutch for your argument. It seems quite apparent that you disliked the popularity or critical acclaim it received in some shape or form, and it’s fine if you did. But you’re basically intentionally using it to try and say “look, it was mad popular and well received but Mahouka’s even better!” Please. Argue Mahouka for its own merits and don’t go dragging other shows and entire fan bases into an argument into which it shouldn’t need to be in. Just asking to start a bigger shit storm than there needs to be, and it's ironic because it also reflects badly on Mahouka while you’re at it. You really want to get people to watch this show? Stop giving us defensive answers and oxymoronic arguments about how something is both “something and not something” at the same time. Stop dragging other things that don’t belong to this argument. Stop insulting everyone else who didn’t have the same views as you while you’re at it. If you believe so strongly in the series’ potential, just say your views in one reply and let it stand on its own. If the show ends up every bit as good as you seem to think it is, people’s opinions will change all on their own. The second you have to resort to “you obviously didn’t understand!” you automatically lose the argument. |
