batossai said: meh..... so this is it? people were saying that tatsuya would go full beast mode, all he did is slap his belt a few times and shot his gun. Hella over hyped. Also whats up with these side characters taking up so much screen time, dont get me wrong they are ok, but this is the second to last episode it doesnt make sense to give underdeveloped characters so much screen time, when it could have been used to display tatsuya's full potential. All in all a disappointing episode, i was excited at the end of last week's episode but that excitement was short lived, looks like this show will continue to be underwhelming to the very end. Because...sorry lost the will to defend the anime further :( |
| This is exactly why I really want Yokohama arc to be in Season 2. They butchered too many scenes here, and this part is supposed to be one of the best part in Yokohama arc, should have put it in two separate episodes. Sigh..... I agree that Cocytus was such a disappointment, well... . Cocytus is a very powerful and frightening spell, even just reading the description in the LN send a shiver down my spine. And also, they owe an explanation for the Regrowth. At the very least, the viewer should know that there's a big 'sacrifice' for Tatsuya when doing that. And, I don't need to start with Erika...... Next week the final episode, a bit hard to see how they would put into action... |
| Can someone who reads the LNs explain something to me? How did Tats have the data on the dead students previous body condition to revive them? When he revived himself, he brought himself to the previous healthy point, I assume he has "info" stored inside him as to how exactly his body was when it was last healthy. But how did he have the info on how those two guys' bodies were when they were last healthy? I assume his spell works like "restore pc to previous working condition" so it needs info on the previous working condition to activate. Am I missing something? Also, was George's portrayal changed from the LN or was his scene that much homolust in the LN as well? |

Also, was George's portrayal changed from the LN or was his scene that much homolust in the LN as well? From LN [spoiler] "The name of the magic is 'Regrowth'. Changes in the Eidos can be rewound up to 24 hours in the past, copying and rewriting the Eidos from before any damages or harm from external sources were incurred, then using Magic Sequences to rewrite the current Eidos. The rewritten target will adhere to the updated information and restore itself to before any harm was suffered." "The effects of magic are not eternal because the restorative powers of Eidos are at work. The restorative power of the Eidos tries to revert itself to before any external alterations occurred. However, the rewritten Eidos from 'Regrowth' is only the target's own information from before. If you're being rewritten by your own Eidos, there is no need to revert to the time of injury and will remain in this world in a state where the injury never happened. All of this becomes as if nothing had ever happened." "It's practically instantaneous. In addition, the target is not restricted to biological organisms. Onii-sama can restore anything, regardless of whether it's the human body or a piece of machinery." "Onii-sama reviews the catalogue of changes in the Eidos to completely copy the Eidos. To do this, he must read all the stored information regarding the Eidos." "Pain is not read from an intellectual perspective. The feeling of pain, the signals of pain that travel through the injured body's nervous system, are directly transferred to your own side as direct information. That information does not pass through the brain, but is directly imprinted on your mind." "Furthermore, all of that is condensed into an instant as it is transmitted. For example... In this situation, the time elapsed between Isori-senpai being wounded and Onii-sama arriving to use magic was approximately 30 seconds. Onii-sama used about 0.2 seconds to review all the changes in the Eidos. In that brief instance, the condensed pain that weighed on Oniisama's mind is about 150 times Isori-senpai's suffering." |

Seiryuu2 said: You summed that pretty well, how do you feel about Cocytus magic ? It sucked and looked wrong,like everything was in this ep.1 OL ep could have salvaged the last arc but they didn't do it :( as for George it did have that kind of Yaoi feel between them and Masaki :heh |
| lol, that's it? I was expecting some over the top OPness by Tatsuya and all we got was some belt slamming and that boring Jesus-style healing power? Lame. At least I still like Mayumi. |

It looks very wrong and very suck -_______- Madhouse y u do diz to us (LN reader) |
|
| This show is getting pretty brutal with Masaki blewing everybody up But the most surprising part is that Tatsuya, he is like God or something, i eman he just healed up Kei and regrew Kirihara legs. Is there anything this guy cannot do !!!? |
ChromiumSX said: Is there anything this guy cannot do !!!? Getting beaten and die? I think that's impossbile for Godsuya. |
| Does Tatsuya have the ability to annihilate the entire Japan? |
Magito said: Does Tatsuya have the ability to annihilate the entire Japan? [spoiler] I think he can blow up half of Japan with one shot of MB. |
| I think they did a good job animating Kirihara and Kei getting shot. Despite having read the LN, I still felt a chill run through me in that scene. Kind of a refreshing slap in the face reminding you that the circumstances are dire. (Well, at least until God shows up and reverses everything :P) |
| Never ceases to impress me every episode, filler or not. Actually, I've just been converted into a fanboy. しょうがないよ。 |
 |
| nice ep, btw tatsuya save & load skill is op |
| "The conqueror has come, armored by the storms and commanding lightning..." |
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender, A warrior of youth, I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order I Am Bulletproof. . .  |
| well, another disappointing adaptation. if this anime ever get season 2, i really wish they give it to another studio. |
silencely said: Who needs a doctor when you have tatsuya on your side, spamming the regeneration skill. He can't go spamming that everywhere because the ability a drawback. |

| I kind of like mahouka but what rubs me the wrong way is that it seems so one-sided. Doesn't the enemy have people on the level of atleast Erika or something? This is like a boring bloodbath with some lucky shots from the enemy >__< |
 |
| Hahaha, this show is so bad. Stale action, even more OP Tatsuya and all the usual crap we got every other week. This author must have a serious inferiority complex if the only thing he can do is letting Tatsuya handle everything and being literally Jesus. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Tatsuya did not just kill that one guy with the RPG, he erase him form existence. Overdoing it a bit. |
Takuan_Soho said: Mostly a good episode, they did Masaki very well, and the fluidity of the episode was done right, but as I have been saying 20 episodes I think now, they continue to go out of their way to minimize Erika and Miyuki. While they showed Orochimaru, there was nothing in there about how Erika receiving this sword was her official acceptance into the Chiba family nor again just how happy she is with it and with having the chance to kill people. It's like the adapters are afraid that they will lose fans if they divert from "Cute Erika" ignoring that this isn't the reason readers like Erika. Miyuki's scene was all wrong, we got absolutely no sense of how powerful and terrifying her spell and indeed she is. First when she jumped out of the helicopter her magical interference was so powerful that no one could cast magic (including Mari), second it doesn't "freeze" their bodies, it freezes their minds. Third it is omnidirectional, the attackers were not in convenient mass. Fourth everyone felt it, so it should have been animated like a pulse. Fifth, everyone outside of Erika were terrified by the spell and her as well as they should be: she can look at people and they die. She doesn't need a CAD (they at least showed that properly), it kiills who she wants and spares who she wants, its a magic so far outside of the normal realm that the reaction should have been animated. Perhaps these are minor points, but for me both scenes were favorites of mine and I think both would have been good scenes to spend a little more time on. Been agreeing with you on most points since the early episodes of this anime. I swear, even though I haven't read up to the current arc, just by watching this and from the background provided by LN readers, you can already see just how much of the adaptation has been butchered, and how only small additions could have made this so much better. First, I swear, this entire episode lacked something extremely important: Tension. Literally all we did was watch a show with people walking around everywhere like they were taking a casual stroll in the park. Even the battle scenes lacked tension. No one was really having a hard time in dealing with the invasion. It seemed like those kids would be completely fine in dealing with things on their own, no parental supervision required at all. It wasn't until Kirihara got his leg blown off that I felt like they were actually in a fight, and even then all it took was less than 1 minute to dispel any and all tension from the show yet again with Miyuki hailing Tatsuya like she was hailing a taxi down on 5th Avenue, Tatsuya flying in, taking two looks at both sempais and then "whoosh" point CAD, "click", heal, repeat. It didn't even show the girlfriends anxious or worried about them afterwards, all four of them on the ground look like they just woke up from some sort of dream instead. Where's the tension in that?!? Then for the explanation of the more complex magic, seriously if they wanted to, they could have just made a Tatsuya voice-over during the magic to provide a small info-dump for said magic, I doubt any fans would have any issue if said magic were explained properly in the process of it being casted (sort of like Suzuka during her 9SC event, but shorter). As for the animation for their signature combat moves, I too am playing the mobile "Lost Zero" game, and whilst I haven't read up to that point in the novels, I can already swear that in comparison, the game animation for Erika's move was way more spectacular, way more flashy, and didn't even take half a second to animate properly. So why the heck did it look like she was just swinging a huge yellow banana in this episode??? It looked so dumb and so out of place... In fact, if we threw all the animation for those combat moves from the game into the anime, I swear it's be THAT much more spectacular! They pretty much gimped the animation of any and all magic in this arc. It's seriously disappointing. That said, I still wish they could come out with a second season to further adapt the rest of the novels, because despite all the flaws, I still think this story deserves to be told in its entirety. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| I laughed hard. That was the most hilarious episode till now.[list] [*]Scene with Tatsuya putting on his mobile suit felt a bit like mahou shoujo transformation. [*]That Masaki and George yaoi moment... [*]I haven't seen so much useless mechas in anime before. Machine guns and chainsaw? Someone played Warhammer 40k way too much. Why even bother to waste resources on something like that? [*]And how are they cutting those machines in half with so short swords? [*]Beware Japan, Chinese released Pokemons! Seriously, what the hell. In previous ep that stupid magical girl bow and now... [*]And then comes Juumonji with his speech taken out from most pathetic American movies. [*]Um, why are those purple Pokemons just standing instead of attacking Masaki, when he is obliterating GAA soldiers? [*]Cocytus in instant. Good that Madhouse skipped wanking Miyuki. [*]And Tatsuya descends from sky and wipes out the last lefovers of tension... How can one person be so much anticlimatic? [list] |

| Quickly went trough this episode in faint hope that the schoolcast will finally get at least some of the long deserved suffering from the attack, but nope, fat chance, everybody got restored. Ichijo is mildly intersting, it's sad that they didn't capitalise on the reaction the others had to his method of saving them. Those who are familiar with LNs, please, tell me, will strong enemy mages finally appear soon? |

I recall him only having some stealth power, when Lu Gonghu supposedly was in close combat world class (and yet he was so easily taken down). The first time Lu gonghu fought in the hospital, he was against one of the strongest sword user in the entire world. When he fought against Mayumi, Mari and Tatsuya if it wasn't for our lord and savior onii-sama using gram demolition, he would have killed the two girls effortlessly even while being wounded. One of Lu gonghu's specialty is body fortification, you might say it's like a magic armor, strip him down of that and he's just a normal human. That's how much gram demolition is a broken spell.

| The MVP award for this episode goes to Tatsuya for his role as Jesus. He was called down from heaven by his little sister to save those who have fallen. Great episode!!! |
 |
| That move Miyuki did...was that Cocytus? Because it wasn't as uh...I hate to use the word epic but it wasn't as epic as I imagined. I mean the way it was described in the LN was kind of frightening. deanzel said: And that ending sequence was hilarious. Onii-sama was like...  LOL! If I wasn't an LN-reader, this would have been 100x funnier haha. |
