*This review might contain spoilers*
I normally don't write reviews but I had to get this off my chest. Not the best review ever ( maybe the worst.) There is a TL:DR at the end.
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei was an enjoyable in the first episodes. I assumed that the show would be great since the Light Novels were the most popular in Japan and U.S. (I think U.S.) It even had potential to be amazing. Boy was I disappointed when I finished the show. Still unsure why I went all the way to end of the show when I could have just dropped it in
...
the middle.
Story: 3/10
I'm aware that the story gets better after the end of the adaptation but I will only review the ones the adpated. The story is either everywhere or it just drags on for like 8-9 episodes. The show is pretty much fillers the entire time with no clear story spotted. As for pacing, its like a fat kid running as fast as he can for a little then to walking .1 Mph ( .016 KmpH.)
Character: 2/10
The main character Tatsyua is like Kirito (Sword Art Online) since Tatsyua is so damm overpowered and looks perfect. He can solve problems that people have and fix it in a fucking flash! Dude calculate pretty much any magic and what that spell would be. He can see through walls and even win a fight just by snapping his fingers. Also can REVIVE PEOPLE BACK FROM THE DEAD with his magic. The man even killed guys with one punch to the face. His Sister has a thing for him and almost did something that me yell at my TV for almost doing what she was about to do. As for the supporting characters, they were to many of them and they were flat and static as hell (Shizuku best girl.) Even the villlians were just carboard since there is nothing behind them and just terrorists
Art: 8/10
Even though the show had some problems, what made the show a little bit better was the artstyle. For me, I really enojyed this the most of the show. Character designs were fantasic and I will admit that they looked good. the only problem I had was the kind of colours it used since most of the show I saw white that any other colour but it was a big deal.
Sound: 6/10
The VA's did a great job for there character roles. But other than, it was the soundtrack that brought the score down. For me, It was not that good. I didn't like the music choices that they used for the fights and the score just seemed forgetable. As for OP/ED, that was the only nice ones.
Enjoyment: 6/10
Even if I gave the show low marks. I still enjoyed the show. The only reason for enjoying it was because I turned off my brain and sat back. At glance, Tatsyua might be the most bad ass person in the world. If your brain is off, you will enjoy the show. If you leave it on, you will hate the show with a flamming passion.
Overall: 4/10
Some people loved this show to death while others want to see it rot in hell with School Days or some other show. For me I just don't want to see this show or hear about again with it's bad storytelling and boring characters.
TL:DR: Mahouka has good Art while everything else sucks. No good señor.
