I guess the reason Miyuki is so popular is cuz in Nihon is that its the land of Imouto lovers.
All those otakus love little sisters with a bro-com since they in RL suck at getting GFs and that is the most easiest way to get you-know-what-i-mean.
For me Miyuki so far is furniture and has her annoying moments just like the rest of the cast the MC also isnt that great personally speaking just awesome as being a skilled fighter and a chick magnet (heck even a teacher tries seducing him).
Well lets hope the school has at least a good insurance to pay off the damage those wannabe terrorists do.
Also do we get to see whats the life outside school is like later ?

Yes, the two arcs after this will start in school but will take place outside the school most of the time.

The usual pace of LN adaptations are usually 3/4 episodes per volume. While I think that the best way to adapt this LN is by doing it 6 episodes per volume, it might've been too much to ask for and being slow the way the first arc was, it might be the downfall of this anime for turning new people off with how slow it was. I would say 8 episodes for enrollment is better since they'll be able to include more contents but since most of the enrollment are just info dump, the story becomes a lot shorter so I think that they did a pretty good job by making it 7 episodes to give more time for 9SC and YD since both of them are more interesting and pretty much 2 of the 3 major arcs which makes the series atm.

So yeah, they did pretty good imo, it could've been worse like Black Bullet @@.

I kind of agree and disagree. Log Horizon had a lot of monologues and world building too but they made it pretty interesting. Adapting 7 volumes in 26 episodes is a bad idea. The standard should be 4-5 volumes for 2 course. They could have just included Volume 8 alongside Volume 1-5, later adapting Yokohoma and Visitor in another season. Those 2 arcs are pretty action packed.

The removal of monologues affected the characters a lot. Mayumi, Erika, Leo had most of scenes cut. They did a good job on the second volume but i can't say the same for the first. Even the manga was a lot of fun to read because of the presentation.

As much as I loved Log Horizon to most it was probably boring from the beginning since it was mostly world building. I love that kind of stuff but we have to remember that this an anime audience, and too much dialogue doesn't digest well leaving the viewers bored. Which happened to some people through parts of Log Horizon. LN to anime transition isn't that easy since it's easier to be flexible with information in LN than to anime. I mean look at episode 4 of Black Bullet rushed as hell leaving some important things from the material. So we should be happy that MadHouse isn't rushing too much and that they have done a nice job so far. Though time can tell.

I have a feeling that this show's message is "Gary Tetsuya Stue is awesome" and that it's purpose is hyping him every single episode. Everything else is pretty much uninteresting. Tokyo Ravens did so much better, and this show's hyped so much more.

3/5

Perhaps the story is getting better, a little less narrative, the fact is we already see Miyuki less sticky and less this is in itself a good thing.
So far this anime has shown little charm, at least for me that I have not read the novel.
Technically it does not show any graphic quality from tears of joy to do, the study Madhouse could not skimp. CG is not annoying.
Not bad the last part, at least Tatsuya is not the only one to show off, at least this time! XD
I hope the best even more next time.

They cut my favourite part of Tatsuya's conversation with Mibu: Tatsuya announcing his ultimate intentions (creating a gravity-type energy generator) and her reaction to that. That was, quite literally, my favourite moment of the entire LN :/

Anyway, I'm late to the party. Prez' speech was pretty well done, lol'ed again at those "threatening" terrorists being taken out in seconds. 3/5

That "debate" was hugely disappointing, though I probably shouldn't had been expecting a good political debate from this series. My hope is that this terrorist organization is only using this school incident to fuel bigger events but without losing hold of their original ideals for equality; there had better not be some kind of stupid ulterior motive like world domination or pure greed or stupid shit like that.

Apparently, Tatsuya's perfections are suppose to be a plot point. Even if they develop this plot point well though, it will still be boring if he doesn't have worthy opponents.

It would be awesome if this show turns out to have some highly intelligent and political theme since it will keep the idiots away. However, I seriously doubt it will, since this show was geared towards idiots to begin with. Then again, many idiots still continue to watch the show despite claiming to absolutely hate it so who knows what goes through the heads of idiots.

Nope what? I was just commenting on how I though Mayumi was the best (very subjective) and that I liked her speech. Yeah, her opponents were retards but I don't see how that has anything to do with what I said.

In order to cast a spell they need to activate an activation sequence right ? From there it turns into a magic sequence which is what the spell does ? What makes him extra special is that he can skip activating a spell and just use magic sequence right away which is the spell ?

Activation sequence = a bunch of long code ?
He can skip this sequence and build the spell itself which is the magic sequence ?

Kinda confused on all the explaining since it does not explain well lol.
Last episode they talked about that terrorist group. The group wants equality but uses magic to get what they want basically ? Guessing they want overpower the government so they can profit or the people backing them can profit ?

Good episode. You could clearly see that there was something Mibu and the others planned.

Mayumis speech was nice. It's true, these 3 years on this school are important and I would be sad if it's only about discrimination if you're a Rank 2 student. I hope she can make it happen and change some of these stupid rules.

It was only at the end but the action was nice to see. I'm not sure what will happen next episode, but it will definitely be interesting.

Looks like Miyuki did a good job of convincing the students. I like where this episode is going, with the unveiling of terrorist attacks. Also, we see some of the cool abilities of the student council members and also Shiba being yandere at her brother getting a girl's number.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.

What Mibu is doing in this episode is the exact same thing many Americans are doing right now - people are convincing themselves that they aren't offered equal opportunities or treated fairly, despite the law specifically stating that they do, and those intentions are being used by wealthy politicians and criminals to advance their own greedy goals. I don't mean to get too deep here - but it really screws up society when people do this crap and are blinded by it, and I think Mibu and what she's involved in here are PERFECT examples. Most of the people "fighting for equal rights / fairness" in America already have equal rights because that fight was won before most of them were born and have since been made into law - and they are now playing the crime-less victim - and unfortunately often committing extremist acts like attacking innocent people in pursuit of a desire that they can't even explicitly detail.

You can't force people to THINK a certain way about you with anything but your own actions, but you can have laws / rules that encourage better treatment - however, just like in reality, they already have all those laws on their side and are taking it all for granted here. Also like in reality - those people's intentions are being used for goals that have nothing to do with what they want. Their good / innocent intentions are being used for what often turns out to be evil. It'd be nice if more people watched this anime and reflected on this episode and if / how it relates to them ;) Given enough vitriol and frustration even the best of intentions can be twisted and used to do wrong.

Interesting insight into the mindset that ends up creating extremists / domestic terrorists, not something I typically expect to see in an anime. So incredibly accurate, too. Tragically so.

Mayumi's speech was pretty good, I was suspicious of her before but in this episode she proved to be a good person. The escalation of conflic with the terrorist organization was well done so the arc will end with a lot of action.

Indirectly Tatsuya just revealed one of his ability on the conversation with Mizuki. XD The multivariable aspects that needed a multiple process, and the multistages of casting that already combined with such an explanations from the previous episode that somehow reduced the casting speed time of him. But actually, its powerful enough to created a diversity among his magic technique, from a simple, till the complex magic. Yeah, its his ability that couldn't be copy by any magician of that era, manipulated the activation sequences as his wish. Sasuga, Tatsuya sama. Well, at least his monologue that mentioned Yotsuba family, once again, hinted something great in the future.

The second sequences where everything turned out to be a chaos. I take it the short summary route. The terrorist attack, that placed at the academy, was not so surprising. Its really their plan to took over a chance from an open public discussion to persuaded the second course scheme before its blowing up. But she was surely wrong about the real deal. Surprise motherfucker. The real deal that started out from the discrimination over first and second course, turned out to be a serious matter like that, just ridiculous. Oh, well. At least i got some nice action packed over their mess.

Such a shame Mibu senpai trapped into that kind of situation because of her naives thinking. She just being manipulated. Lets see the next one to see their conclusion. Also, Miyuki's jealousy just over the top. I would mind it at all. At least Saegusa did something good to closed my ashamed at Miyuki behaviour at this episode. Lol. Lets see the next one to see their conclusion.

I thought the president's speech was pretty good; however, I'm still confused as to why she hasn't made a speech like this in the past if the higher-ups were all aware of the discrimination.

I'm also confused about the nature of the magic in this universe: it's technological, but not everyone can use it? It must be rare, since the terrorists use pretty conventional weapons despite being a large organization. Overall, I'm excited to see where the attack goes.
