Episode 1
So is Tatsuya like spoiler[holding back so people don't realise how dangerous he is]? Strangely I like the dynamic, the brother and sister are almost pretty much a couple, and I did not find it too dirty or her insane for being so obsessive. That she apparently gets angry for him seems to describe some of their relationship, he instead seems quite aimed on avoiding unnecessary fights and confrontation. I noticed music similar to Noragami, which is a good thing, and everything looks pretty good. But the discrimination thing feels a bit tired, who here has already seen Baka Test. |

I don't know about the mother, but the father is alive. She mentioned the father calling her about her acceptance to the school or something like that. She was upset he didn't call Tatsuya. |

The thing I enjoyed the most was the OST. The series seems like it has potential.

but this is not a typical shonen. typical shonen's main character has no dark past, just powerful/famous ancestor(s). The main Shonen characters normally have no sister and hey are normally weak. There is no indication says that they are not blood related either. |

The setting was very interesting in this one, as was the aesthetics of the school. I liked the traditional english boarding school vibe. I like the magic system (well, what we've heard about it so far), and it seems like it could really be structurally involved and complex. The uniform design is really nice. I especially like the transparent veil dresses that the girl students wear.
I thought the music during that fight scene was an unusual choice, and I liked it a lot for that. It wasn't the kind of music I'd listen to on its own, but the uniqueness of the choice of that music with that scene was something I was really down with. The little sister stuff is kind of annoying, but it wasn't overdone this time. The cast seems pretty cool. I hope it doesn't turn into a harem, but I don't really think it's running that risk. This one is interesting because in some ways, it has a lot of things going on that you might think would make it a strongly otaku show, but the presentation and tone really seem like it's not going to be like that. Here's hoping that my assessment of that is accurate. |

And here I was, convinced this was going to be a trainwreck from the start. I should really stop paying any sort of attention to Chagen. that had some nice pacing, and I'm definitely going to keep watching

Why would anyone ever listen to Chagen? Seriously.
I think three lines into the episode his main complaint/rant is debunked. |

I was mostly joking. I don't listen to what Chagen says. I just wanted to take a dig at him. However, like WhiteHairGirls in his opening post, I was slightly concerned about this possibly being a train wreck since light novels sometimes seem to be difficult to adapt and Magical Warfare was terrible |

Meh i don't think Magical Warfare had the same kind of following this series did. Considering it's been the show that was hyped the most this season I don't think Madhouse would be stupid enough to treat it in the same fashion.

Mahouka doesn't start as a trainwreck (though the first novel is boring as SIN). It becomes ridiculous later on. Just wait. As for this episode, boring as hell but the music was good. I'm gonna keep watching for when it becomes pants-on-head stupid later on, which should be fun. Also Tatsuya is hot. And his voice is SEX. Miyuki's boring and her voice is really deep and flat though. Erika and Leo are far more interesting than the main couple. Animation and art remains good, I can't criticize Mahouka's asthetics at the very least. My main annoyance with the series at large is how it wastes the potential of being about a guy who can't do normal magic but simply works around that through clever and inventive plans and gambits. |

SAO had an amazing start that petered off over time, so it leads to some resentment and bad reviews in hindsight even thought lots of people (myself included) were in love with it early on. (g-damn the ALO arc was cringeworthy. I'm not a fan of GGO arc either, I guess we'll see how they adapt it.)
Mahouka has a dull start that becomes my current favorite story thats being written out of Japan. Shows no sign of slowing down, we'll see over time how it ends. (Next volume comes out tommorow) |

After watching episode 2, I'm concluding this is the worst series I've ever seen. I mean, even trashy ecchi series at least try to entertain the audience. This was twenty minutes of exposition full of incomprehensible technobabble. As best I can tell, it was really cold on the day of the test, so the MC's psions shrank to miniscule size, and now his sister is trying to convince everyone that he actually has the hugest psions in the world, which intrigues the head of the S&M Committee.

Very average and going downhill. The latest episode felt lifeless and the spoiler[duel] was way too rushed. Also, the weird interactions between Shiba and Mayuki is something that I can barely take now.
I really hope this show's story pick up soon..but so far, it's not very impressive imo. |

...... So you want this to be a rushed anime or something? What is wrong with the 2nd episode being an exposition one? Jeez you just can't please everyone. |
