I wonder if this thread is going to get 700+ posts like the episode 1 thread :P


I hope not cos if that happens it would mean there was a lot of excessive backlash and defense. At this point i'm hoping people on the fence would have made a decision about whether or not to keep watching so there won't be a need for a war.

Then again, a legitimate discussion of the episode could make that many posts plausible...

The reasoning beyond the whole course 1 and course 2 students being bloom and weed is really hilarious, get explained in the second arc.

That battle OST was so unnecessary lmao. Anti-climatic 1 hit KO
A nice explanation of how the student body operates. That awkward incest joke huehue.

Nice ED. Hope they will explain more about how magic is structured in the universe. I'm still very confused ~_~.

I don't like in fact they look like a couple more than siblings which I find a little weird especially way Tatsuya touched her in the halls scene. ㅇㅅㅇ

I think there were 3 shorts released before ep 1 came out giving lot of back ground detail to how things worked.

A bit weird to not see the inner thoughts of Tatsuya like in the LN, but if they do that, 26 episodes wouldn't be enough lol

Mod Note: Not spoiling--I just saw the (really sour) reaction Erika had to her in the episode. She did not look happy to see her.

It was obvious Tatsuya would win easily but I never expected the 'duel' to end in 2 seconds XD Already hate that guy so it felt good I guess.
I didn't understand what the hell do civilians have to do with what Erika was talking about... Can someone explain that part?

A great episode overall 4/5. I don't care if this show is slow, I prefer that over doing time skips after each episode like a certain Madhouse show we know..

I enjoyed both episodes so far and you do get the feeling that despite it being the 2nd episode, the anime is still introducing us to the characters and not really beginning the main story or goal of the series, I'm kinda glad it's going at this pace. I'm glad episode 2 ended the way it did because I was worried that I would have to wait for the next episode to see who wins the match. I'm glad the protagonist is a bad-ass with a quick wit.

There were lots of nice little scenes to see animated. A few of the things that I thought hard to visualize from the novel to seeing on the screen were clarified, especially the magic experiment they have to do to test their speed of activating magic to make an object accelerate and decelerate. I didnt know it was a huge floor model device.

Conversation scenes were often hilarious in either the way they were done (erika and the groups awkward silence when she explained her CAD and its engraving spell type feeding psions in a manner similar to helmet splitting followed by Mizuki's comments. Then in the stuco room Mari's lines and Mayumis's, and lastly blushing Hattori.

I think they are still a bit targeting ln readers much with that swift throwing of the heavy magic, little to no explanation of differences between the generalized CADs and specialized ones. Though I thought it was quite well done and pleasing, especially that Silver Horn.

Oh well, character drama and the final two minutes were excellent, kind of wanted it to go a bit further than that but next week should be good Poor Hattori being wiped out instantly and brutally without any knowledge of what went on :(

I found this episode an improvement over last week's, but I think they've made a poor job at explaining how magic works and all that CAD talk which I have no idea what it is. Apart from that, I'm finding Tatsuya quite likable, surprisingly. I laughed at his joke and it was cool not seeing him taking shit from the vice-president. The fight (was that even one?) was more brief than I expected, though. The biggest downside for now still seems to be Miyuki, I cringe every time she's on screen.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Just to add:

1st episode explains Blooms and Weeds
2nd episode explain CADs and activation sequences
3rd episode explains the political situation and also stuff related to magicians.

You can find them on Doki if you are having trouble searching or if you guys are interested.

Damn that Viceprez got his ass beat; he got shown who's the boss, and Tatsuya's face at the end. You can tell he isn't even trying. Makes you wonder just how OP he is huh?
On another note, I really do hate discrimination about skills and such, and a vice president who openly is okay with putting down and insulting an underclassman? Who put him in charge? Honestly, if anything, these blooms have their heads above the clouds..

Why are people throwing comments around of characters being OP all the time? Just because a character is strong or has a hidden extra ability doesn't automatically make them OP, only when it gets ridiculous or very boring on the longer run you should use the term OP.
The base strength of a character you've just known about for 2 episodes isn't automatically OP when he's stronger than some arrogant other student. Ugh.

Anyway that was a nice episode, the fight was way shorter than I hoped but pretty cool nontheless though there is some explanation needed, but as I've read here the first arc is heavily focuessed on the story setting and explanations of their world so I'll just wait for it :)

Good episode. Tatsuya is amazing. I'm shocked he could say all of that of being his sister lover with a straight face. Though I'm amazed he was truly willing to do this, it seems he was trying to hide this side of him. I'm amazed he went all out. Well I can't wait for the reactions next week.

The technic she was walking about is basically like a secret that normal people aka Civilian shouldn't know about but then the other girl said (too lazy to look up names) that since its a magic school no one is really a Civilan. This is touch up on later I think but the one really big issue with magician is like i think 80%+ end up in the military or something like that, their country kinda owns them in a way.

its the weakness of all magicians. they take time to cast their spells which leaves them extremely vulnerable to faster opponents. not to mention he can see when they activate their spells. There is much more to him than meets the eyes so maybe it will be explained.

The vice president was stupid... I was surprised at how fast Tatsuya won though.
The student council (except for the vice prez) and the discipline committee seems quite amusing.

The Shiba siblings have a great relationship! A little weird though, maybe a little too great xD
