At least we got a little taste of Tatsuya god-mode action and Miyuki in DAT APRON... Onii-sama...  The bro/siscon vibe was pretty heavy again this episode, granted. I'm actually wondering. I think most guys who had a smart, beautiful girl practically licking their balls on every turn would just fuck her, sister or not. It's actually starting to annoy me a bit too. I mean, I know it's a well-known and often-used anime trope, but if you're into this bro/siscon thing SO much, then do something with it. Either go for it, or refuse it. This incessant teasing of 'I'm offering myself on a silver platter to you' and sexual-innuendo where both don't really seem to mind much, but yet never goes anywhere (be it one way or the other) does get a bit annoying. I mean, I know they can't *really* go further into that path, or it would become a hentai of the more naughty sort, but still... It starts to remind me of the many harem-anime where all the girls want to get laid by the MC, but he is too stupid/shy/unlucky/whatever to actually do something with it/them. Episode after episode. After a while, it gets on the nerves. For the rest it was an ok episode, though not all that action-packed. The highlight was where he got shot, but...it *does* take away some of the suspense that you know he's virtually immortal. It's like Luffy from OP: never gets hurt, and neither do any of his nakama. (in the sense of actually being able to die). It's time it's made clear he *can* get hurt in a permanent way, otherwise I'll have to give the more negative voices of the anime a point. I dunno. Couldn't the bullet be made of that special metal there, that inhibited magic? Wouldn't that interfere with his restoration magic? I mean, *something* should be introduced that would make us fear for his life. Because otherwise, the suspense really *does* diminishes a lot. |

| Still bad? Still bad. Tatsuya still a horrible Stu? Yup, still a horrible Stu. So far for "things getting good". At least this racist power fantasy for the degenerated is over soon. Then the people can claim Madhouse ruined the anime while everybody sanes laughs at them, hopefully forgetting this in a few months. |

Thing is you need to kill him instantly or else he will recover. |

Anyway, the problem with that would be, that he's instantly killed, then. I think they need something that makes it clear it poses a threat to his life without actually killing him outright from the start. Like the special anti-magic-metal bullet, for instance. That, or shoot him in the head, but not fully, and only part of his braintissue gets destroyed, and he still manages to restore himself, but gets amnesia in the process. Something like that. If you don't get the feeling the MC or one of his nakamas *might* die - even though we know MC's usually last - it takes away the suspense. What you says may be technically true, but we've never seen him fight for his life (I mean, being on the brink of death). I think it is about time he or his sis gets in a critical condition. I'm still (relatively) enjoying the show, but I can't help but note some things could be improved upon. As it is now, it's an ok anime, but it will never become a 'great' one. Sure, I've seen worse. But I've seen better too. Granted, this goes for a lot of anime.I'm always vaguely disturbed that, with *a litle bit* more effort, and anime could have been drastically improved. Yet, it never (well seldom) happens. Most just don't quite fully deliver, or don't reach the full potential they had, even if they're enjoyable. (Suisei no Gargantia comes to mind) |

One day, after Tatsuya decides he's tired of this world and develops faster-than-light travel children will read books about him. "Tell me Sensei, who invented these Godlike abilities we now use?" "It is all the work of great Tatsuya my child. We still hope he will return to us one day, and bless us with even bigger technological marvels." Why is this show constantly making technological breakthroughs? Why is Tatsuya the one solving them all? |

Instead of magic explanations (which are usually incredibly long, boring and unneccessary), how about some Tatsuya explanations? How about world build-up? It drives me insane there are sooooo many interesting things in their world yet none are getting any screen time. This show could've been my favorite show in years, and by first episode intro it seemed as one, yet it developed into "Tatsuya develops stuff no one else can and kicks ash while doing that". Nothing exists here except for Tatsuya and his blushing sister. Nothing and no one. And even with that not even those two are getting explained. At all. They had no character development besides "they love each other very much". Sigh. |

The translations are fairly up to date really. |

I wasn't talking about the mechanics of his restoration, I was talking about getting a feel of suspense and dread. And for that you need a believable way for him to be in mortal danger. If the ONLY way is instant death, than that is no good neither, because that will never happen with a MC, at least, not as long as the series continues. So, the 'mechanics' are part of the problem, if they are de-facto unbeatable (for the reasons mentioned above). There needs to be *something* introduced, even if only in one episode, where there is real danger: a falter of the 'mechanics', something that manages to interfere with the restoration, etc. The mangaka is free to introduce such a plotdevice. But he *does* need to introduce it, or it will become lame. An OP power always needs a weakness to remain interesting. Take this scene. The moment he got shot, my first reaction was 'wow, he's mortally wounded. What will happen now? ' Alas, immediately followed by 'ah, but his immortality-restoration will kick in, and he'll have no damage whatsoever.'...and yes, that's exactly what happened. Thus, from now on, whatever will happen to him, you'll realise it doesn't really matter, as long as he's not outright dead. Which won't happen, because the whole anime revolves around him. So, basically, he'll ALWAYS be fine. Surely you can see how that kills suspense? |

Well MC in almost all anime is almost immortal anyway so self-restoration dosen't matter instead it makes it more cool xD Plus almost every skill has weakness for example they can keep killing him again and again until nothing left well that could happen if he meet some strong oppenent. but well i think this like 2nd arc and LN has so many arc so i guess too soon for that... |
| A good starting episode for the new arc. Tatsuya gets chosen to write a thesis now, big surprise. I'm willing to bet he actually manages to bust the second of the Three Mysteries. The stepmother was just obnoxious and annoying (though her rack is an eye-catcher), glad Tatsuya made her rage. Miyuki was just the cutest this episode, hope she gets time to shine as well. Engrish at its finest... those guys deserved to die. Didn't really get what that talk about the sniper was for, i mean Tatsuya one-shot him, yet later he talked about how skilled and dangerous he was. For a normal person - sure, but not for Onii-sama. |

True, (almost) all MC won't get killed, but that is only so in a meta-sense: it's from the '4th wall' viewpoint (aka, we, the viewer/watcher). We know the mangaka/publisher won't let their MC die soon, because otherwise, the anime looses it's main aspect. (You do have some exceptions if there is more than 1 MC, but that's for another time). However, when not viewed from our perspective/meta-aspect, aka 'in story', most anime will let you have at least the impression and the possibility that the MC will be killed. It's illusionary, of course, but it's there. Only if it's becoming obvious that it will never happen, does it become boring. Thus, you can't keep adding drama and make us feel dread and suspense and empathy for the MC when nothing ever happens, and he miraculously survives every god damn time, even when stabbed through the heart or constantly being in mortal danger but always healing up. Think OP, Bleach, Fairytale, etc. After a while it really gets annoying, but worse, you can't really empathise or care about the MC anymore in any 'death-struggle', because you know the drill by then. In short, if you want to create 'feels' about someone 'dying', have some real drama, you must let your deaths count. Not too many, not too few, but certainly not too many who never materialises. So, yes, it's bad enough many anime not only have their MC never die (meta-cause), they often don't have 'real' deaths at all (except with the 'bad guys'). Lesser anime make their MC and nakama de facto immortal. But if you're going to make your MC immortal even 'in-story', and explicitly so, like in this one, it's really not helping. That said, maybe you are right, and it's still a bit too early. Continuously letting him die until there is 'nothing left' (or at least the impression/possibility of it) would be a good take on that, indeed. Hopefully in the future they will introduce 'real' danger to him (in story, thus). I don't want to be too harsh, and I think the critics here often have too much negativism in their posts, but, well, one can't deny some things could have been executed a bit better. The anime is fairly enjoyable, but *does* use a lot of tropes, which they repeat pretty often, and the characterisation, especially of the side characters, isn't exactly stellar neither. The worldbuilding itself is ok, and there are some nifty concepts in it (science as an aid to magic), etc. So...it's not bad, but it's not spectacular neither. I just think that, with a little bit of extra effort, they could have made it vastly better, and draw out it's full potential. But, as said, I get that from a lot of anime. You have bad ones and good ones, but it's the in-betweens I find often most frustrating because of the 'missed opportunities'-feel I get of it. But still, as long as I find it mildly entertaining and enjoyable, I'll keep watching. This season there are a whole bunch of new 'ok' anime which aren't really bad but aren't really superb neither. |

I know bad things happen when a Philosopher's Stone is being used. The "Engrish" in this episode was the one of the few things I can understand because the of info dump they added on this one too. *Insert Incest Comment Here* |
 |
| Oohh I enjoyed this ep! And Tatsuya's ability to self regenerate and so quickly still catches me ogg-guard and have me giggle to myself. I cant get enough of him and when he holds those Silver guns in his hand too. Kyyaaa! So new arc and newww enemies!! Cant wait to see Tatsuya sweat and work hard to resolve this one. Bring it on! :DD |

(Suisei no Gargantia comes to mind) I think you play too much Call of Duty. BOOM HEADSHOT is not as easy as in a videogame. Snipers are trained to hit the largest target (chest/torso) to increase their chances of getting a shot in. Especially at thousands of meters away. In fact, that doesn't just apply to snipers, it applies to policeman as well. Aiming for the head is idiotic. |
| Maybe I am having too much expectations due to all the hype on Yokohama arc or maybe we haven't reach the best part yet. Hopefully,it's the later one. Regardless,this is just another one of your typical boring Mahouka episode where too much boring talking and explanation on Magic this and that. Visual Novel reader,something I want to ask you. Is there going to be any good guys in Mahouka that die or all the time,the MC and his friends always prevail. If there is just say yes but don't tell me who's going to die because that will be spoiler. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Hahahaha. That attempt at English was hilarious. Episode highlight: "I didn't expect this guy coming." |
 This anime is cancerous to my well being. And since when the hell could Tatsuya ride a motorcycle!? dat engrish tho |

NihonFalcom said: This anime is cancerous to my well being. And since when the hell could Tatsuya ride a motorcycle!? dat engrish tho Surprisingly, since I started reading the LN a few days ago (on book 3 now...) I can actually answer this question. He was able to ride a motorcycle since the first volume actually. Apparently in the future, age isn't the base criteria when allowing individuals to play with motorcycles and stuff like this. That said, I really enjoyed watching this episode. We finally got to see and hear the step-mother and how she treats her step-children. I seriously have no idea why their father would even marry that bitchy lady. She sounds all stuck up and entitled or something. No wonder Miyuki hates her (regardless of the fact that their dad married her half a year after their true mother died). The Philosopher's Stone has been used in so many stories and animes that I don't even know where to begin... But I guess whatever works, eh? Magic sequence programmable stones, sounds fun. So Miyuki becomes the Vice President to the incoming Student Council? I wonder how they're gonna operate there. She'll have so much less time to be with her Onii-Sama then. Of course, now that he's suppose to help with the Thesis Competition, coupled with his Disciplinary Committee stuff, they're both gonna be too busy for anything, methinks. Got a question though, does this mean that a year has already passed at the school since they enrolled? If so, I would love to see what new students show up in this arc (assuming they are in second year now). Well, more of the same would do be just fine, I can't wait to see those Chinese Terrorists get their arses handed to them. |

If so, I would love to see what new students show up in this arc (assuming they are in second year now). The year hasn't passed yet - "Thesis Competition, is held at the last Sunday of October". The 3rd years like Mayumi, Juumonji and Mari are still around and pretty much get all their stuff sorted out now - like working in the successors for their respective positions (Kaon succeeding Mari as head of the Disciplinary, Hattori getting Juumonji's post and little Azusa as the new student council president) because with the coming winter it is nearly the time for the 3rd years to prepare for their exams. Before the new year officially starts and the new students arrive is still a long way. Nothing we would be likely to see in this adaption. |

AnimageNeby said: mohit550 said: Well MC in almost all anime is almost immortal anyway so self-restoration dosen't matter instead it makes it more cool xD Plus almost every skill has weakness for example they can keep killing him again and again until nothing left well that could happen if he meet some strong oppenent. but well i think this like 2nd arc and LN has so many arc so i guess too soon for that... True, (almost) all MC won't get killed, but that is only so in a meta-sense: it's from the '4th wall' viewpoint (aka, we, the viewer/watcher). We know the mangaka/publisher won't let their MC die soon, because otherwise, the anime looses it's main aspect. (You do have some exceptions if there is more than 1 MC, but that's for another time). However, when not viewed from our perspective/meta-aspect, aka 'in story', most anime will let you have at least the impression and the possibility that the MC will be killed. It's illusionary, of course, but it's there. Only if it's becoming obvious that it will never happen, does it become boring. Thus, you can't keep adding drama and make us feel dread and suspense and empathy for the MC when nothing ever happens, and he miraculously survives every god damn time, even when stabbed through the heart or constantly being in mortal danger but always healing up. Think OP, Bleach, Fairytale, etc. After a while it really gets annoying, but worse, you can't really empathise or care about the MC anymore in any 'death-struggle', because you know the drill by then. In short, if you want to create 'feels' about someone 'dying', have some real drama, you must let your deaths count. Not too many, not too few, but certainly not too many who never materialises. So, yes, it's bad enough many anime not only have their MC never die (meta-cause), they often don't have 'real' deaths at all (except with the 'bad guys'). Lesser anime make their MC and nakama de facto immortal. But if you're going to make your MC immortal even 'in-story', and explicitly so, like in this one, it's really not helping. That said, maybe you are right, and it's still a bit too early. Continuously letting him die until there is 'nothing left' (or at least the impression/possibility of it) would be a good take on that, indeed. Hopefully in the future they will introduce 'real' danger to him (in story, thus). I don't want to be too harsh, and I think the critics here often have too much negativism in their posts, but, well, one can't deny some things could have been executed a bit better. The anime is fairly enjoyable, but *does* use a lot of tropes, which they repeat pretty often, and the characterisation, especially of the side characters, isn't exactly stellar neither. The worldbuilding itself is ok, and there are some nifty concepts in it (science as an aid to magic), etc. So...it's not bad, but it's not spectacular neither. I just think that, with a little bit of extra effort, they could have made it vastly better, and draw out it's full potential. But, as said, I get that from a lot of anime. You have bad ones and good ones, but it's the in-betweens I find often most frustrating because of the 'missed opportunities'-feel I get of it. But still, as long as I find it mildly entertaining and enjoyable, I'll keep watching. This season there are a whole bunch of new 'ok' anime which aren't really bad but aren't really superb neither. You're right for the most part that the anime hasn't introduced away to kill the MC, but let me tell you something, from the begging of the anime to this very moment, the MC hasn't confronted a real threat, he was fighting weak opponents from the very start. Don't forget that he's military and joined the war and killed unknown amount of people and the most importantly, he SURVIVED the war. so It's natural to think that he possesses an immense amount of power by now. for a man that survived something like that to be killed by a mere sniper ? It even sounds lame to me! all the enemies that he defeated weren't any big deal. The real fight and the real deal is the Yotsubas, the clan that made a weapon out of him, don't forget that he once said that with all the glory he had reached being Taurus Silver and with all the military power he possesses, he can't beat the Yotsubas. You can't now imagine how terrifying that clan is, for someone like Tatsuya to say something like that. Ohh, the last thing, don't forget that he was shedding bleeding from the nose when he activated/cast that sequence to beat that cocky prince. He was effected by his own sequence and he was bleeding, that's a clear evidence shows that Tatsuya isn't invincible and can be harmed. |

MysticArte said: ShAd0w said: Dat auto-regeneration. Good ep can't wait to see more. Btw. So when oniisama will turn into Iron-man niisama LOL? When I see that scene at the end of second op I'm always thinking "Iron-man?". You should be thinking of Batman.  The onii-sama that Miyuki needs, but not the one she deserves. Nope!! We should be thinking Batsuya and also *insert Hans Zimmerman obligatory theme* If they ever make Mahouka into a trilogy here is what they should be called: Batsuya Begins The Dark Sis-Con The Dark Sis-Con Rises |
| @ Grimlokk unfortunately he has gotten over Batsuya and now in Super Sentai (or I think it's Kamen Rider) mode :) |
| Looks like we went on a time skip. Since they mentioned Miyuki becoming a vice chairwoman, it looks like the 3rd years (Mari, Saegusa, and Jumonji) are not there anymore. Hopefully, this arc will add even more challenge to Tatsuya, like not figuring out quickly the contents of that magatama, or rather a powerful villain that is better than the Crimson Prince. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

No wonder, dragon with no head must be retarded. |

| Don't mind me. I still read some of these posts and only step in when I feel like I have to. Otherwise, consider it silent agreement with jakkabus. |
| So why has the student council changed? Third years are clearly still around as Suzune proves so what happened? On another note this was a good episode with lots of exposition which is to be expected of an arc opening episode. |

On another note this was a good episode with lots of exposition which is to be expected of an arc opening episode. Vol 5 which they didn't adapt have a Student Council Election short story (the last chapter).Reason why, I think is for the 3rd years to concentrate for their University entrance exams when the 2nd term starts. |

Ah thanks for clearing that up. I became even more confused once I saw that Mayumi and Mari were still kicking around in the next episode! |
