Disappointing, but I guess I was just expecting too much. Can't wait for the next episode.

Spoiler for Ep. 6:

Kikimaru · 2014-05-10, 12:20

I very enjoyed this episode. Especially, the fighting scenes.

Algent · 2014-05-10, 12:45

Nice episode, but this was mildly infuriating:

Spoiler for Engrish plz:

Divini · 2014-05-10, 12:49

The first episode I was really, really looking forward to. (aside from ep.1)

To me it didn't disappoint. Loved the fighting scenes.

LOL, I wonder if that is on purpose, or just a another silly mistake like the one in episode 1 (the East/West Europe on the map thing

)

Rava · 2014-05-10, 13:14

It's anime. Of course it's a silly mistake. >_>

At least it's not as bad as "Materiarise" in Mai Otome.

Netto Azure · 2014-05-10, 14:18

The BGM choices for this show is way too light hearted. It melts the tension way too fast. XD

Anyways the fight scenes were nice, It seems someone has been manipulating memories because how could an entire conversation be misunderstood like that otherwise?

bakato · 2014-05-10, 14:37

Damn. I thought for sure the arc would end on this one.

Awrya · 2014-05-10, 14:39

Fighting scene between Erika and Mibu was well done, the only flaw is how they animated Erika using self-acceleration. I expected them to show Erika as a blur when moving around Mibu and not look like teleporting around.

Funny how Kirihara at the end was carrying a real katana. While it's legal to own one in Japan, you've got to question how he obtained it so quick. If it's his personal sword, why does the school allow students to bring their swords to school, if it's the school's sword, does the school give them out as freebies to any student who wants one?

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

Engrish at its finest, sometimes I believe they are messing up on purpose for more Engrish memes.

Nice guess

And I'm glad that the conflict isn't cut short in Mahouka. In other anime, these types of villains would usually be left alone or be dealt with later

Kakurin · 2014-05-10, 15:37

The fight scenes were done pretty nicely. Erika and Leo are also pretty strong in their own right. Shows that as long as you have a good specialisation you can hold your own in battle, even though your academic magics may be lacking.
Kirihara after that stunt in episode 3 shows himself to be more decent than expected. Good to see the anime showing a reasoning for his participation in that previous incident, as well as in the next operation.

Last but not least, damn, Tatsuya can be really cold. The way he shut off Ono-sensei (once again, horrible choice for a voice...) and his reaction to Leo's objection was pretty harsh. Then his determination to eradicate any threat to him and Miyuki; his character is slowly but surely gaining in contour. Miyuki's kind of similar in that, as shown by her words after stopping that terrorist with the gun.

Well I cant say any hint or spoiler but yea; he's pretty much like that in a nut shell; Tatsuya is pretty cool-headed when its about killing people

GreyZone · 2014-05-10, 15:48

Did you notice that Juumonji's car is a humvee (or at least something similar)?

Ickarium · 2014-05-10, 16:15

Tis indeed a humvee or some other type of military vehicle.

Miraluka · 2014-05-10, 16:28

Next week is going to emphasize more the difference of power of our imba MC's.

So the entire premise of the "discrimination" that Mibu faced was actually a misunderstanding?

Its a little concerning that everyone else who isn't part of the main cast gets portrayed as completely incompetent and stupid (all of that awesomeness seem to have been redirected into Tatsuya alone). The "terrorist" group launching an attack without consideration of magic user's counterattacks, the "weed" students who could not even put up proper examples of why they felt discriminated against during the debate, and then the ultimate scapegoat, Mibu, who went from good intentions, easy to manipulate person to a downright stupid one.

I know that some contrast must exist in order to make something standout (Tatsuya) but this seems really ridiculous at this point. Now he somehow decides that he will be raiding the base of operations for the terrorists? I can already see his near-flawless victory on the horizon.

rladls716 · 2014-05-10, 16:37

The way Miyuki freezes one of the terrorist's hand that pointed gun at Tatsuya.
The terrorist made the voice of pain droping that gun from his hand.
It really made me feel uneasy.

The opponents are terrorist, so killing them is actually for the school's or the whole country's own good.
But even so it is not feeling good about it though.

I can't believe how Tatsuya quickly convinced Student Council members about destroying the terrorists.
