| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Really, it's about damn time they captured the parasite. Took them long enough. Episode is fine but feels uneasy even with the Parasite threat contained. I don't trust the police force in this show. As for Tatsuya, he had a lot on his mind since the recent events. A slow episode but pacing will probably pick up again soon. |
 |
| Figure out why that accessory and maid robot is related. People came to retrieve the three. Main guy knew who captured them. Then Hikasa-san's character killing those three. Main guy starts to sense she is not high schooler? The guy who provided information in America contacted main guy. One of 7 mysterious group? He provided information, regarding to why the enemy came to Japan. To create world w. no magic? Next mission at their school... |

| I don't want to say much in this eps, I just want to say. I like the scene of Tatsuya taking a shower. The parasite has been killed? |
| Another Mahouka Saturday. Another 10,000/10 ep. We’re feasting rn. The whole scene with Erika, Miki and Leo being afraid to tell Tatsuya that they didn’t capture the parasites was hilarious lol. I love how we’ve got to see Tatsuya develop as a character and person. One of the dumbest critiques of Mahouka was how Tatsuya was a generic cardboard cutout MC. Heaven forbid a character actually develop overtime. We saw that on display today with his empathy towards Lina’s affinity, or lack thereof for being an assassin, as well as his conversation with Saegusa. He’s not only become more empathetic , but also leans on others more. Going up against one of the Seven Sages will be a tough task, excited to see how this works out in this final stretch here. Edit: skipped Tatsuya x Miyuki moments sadden me. |

| It may be a slow episode but it was still a great one. Erika, Leo and Mikihiko afraid of Tatsuya was funny. Lina being an assassin. She really isn't suited for it. |
 |
| One of my favorite episodes so far |

| Does Tatsuya needs to kill Pixie too since she's possesed by a parasite? I hope not. Time to save Lina I guess. |
 |
| Its thankful that they were able to take out the parasites and hold until Erika and the others arrived. Hmm its ironic that the earrings that Tatsuya gave Honoka is actually proving to be such an excellent asset in protecting her. My My Erika sure was bold at confronting the fake policemen that directly. Still that ambush that the enemy pulled off sure was impressive and did well to cover the theft of the bodies. Still thats quite the message that Tatsuya enlisted Mayumi to give to her father though one deeply worded in threats. Still after getting to know Lina's inner struggles it sure was shocking to see her appear again and kill unarmed prisoners so casually. For the seven sages to have a backdoor into the global info network though is pretty impressive. Looks like the stage for the final battle against the parasites is going to be sooner than expected. Overall a decent ep that featured a good mix of lore expansion, plot advancement and combat. Its nice to see Erika and co show their might for once. Still thats quite the info dump that was fed to us near the end regarding the sages. |

| Nice to know some people have already figured out who was behind scorned halloween =) Also expect to see more Kudou screen time |
| Tatsuya’s going to save Lina from being an assasin. Okay episode. |
 |
| Honestly loving the Honoka moments more and more. Erika, Mikihiko and Leo were so scared to tell Tatsuya that they had lost the captured parasites. Honestly, the only thing that might make this guy mad is if they would target Miyuki. So Lina assassinated the captured parasites in the end. A bit unexpected. Tatsuya now gonna need to do something about her, but also got a message from Shizuku's informant about killing the parasites on the 19th. I just hope that the parasite in Pixie will be spared! |
 |
| Tatsuya showered and Miyuki wasnt peeping on him. Wtf is this show because its certainly not Mahouka! |

Fight scenes for so lame unlike S1. Thanks for nothing 8-bit. Worst and rush adaptation in anime history so far. But season 1 fights were also nothing special lol Rushed? Season 1 adapted 6 volumes in 25 episodes, this one is adapting 3 volumes in 13 so if anything both are rushed. 1 LN per 4 eps is actually pretty decent, u sure have not seen what a rushed adaptation looks like. 8-bit is actually doing a decent job handling Mahouka, if Madhouse was still on board it would've been a disaster. Guess u are just a troll, just checked ur profile. |

| Didn't like this ep at all, for me, no decisions and events had sense. How can the japanese secret services are arriving just at the time the parasites are captured? And why did Tatsuya leave those three useless "friends" with such important elements as the parasites? How can the "sage" (the guy who kows everything) call Tatsuya at this exact moment, tell him everything, explain all the plot (which does not have any sense, i felt it like "i'm the scenario, we're boring, here is the plot"), and the only reaction of Tatsuya is like : "Fine." WTF? |

Section 3 being the ones to act and go to such lengths were a surprise to Tatsuya as well.How can the "sage" (the guy who kows everything) call Tatsuya at this exact moment, tell him everything, explain all the plot (which does not have any sense, i felt it like "i'm the scenario, we're boring, here is the plot"), and the only reaction of Tatsuya is like : "Fine." WTF? First off it wasn't a live call , it was a message/recording and the plot does make sense if you take time to think about it, it all ties in together even the events from the first season. |

| Okay, its looks like, the arc already reach its final stage. Such a shame seeing the trio of a second tier peeps, couldn't do anything against JGDF CISIII elite unit operation with the goal of them to snatched the parasites out of them. Okay, thanks for the revelations, its really help me a lot how they were so clinging in the previous episodes. They took the action there. Unfortunately, Godsuya trusted his items into those uncapability friends, making all of the great work of him just a waste, and already took him in a difficult situations. Even he needed to persuade Mayumi to helped him secure the parasites, more or less. However, after that, something unexpected happened, out of Godsuya's control. Yea, Lina came in, as an assassin, and killed them all, in order of those Colonel (that seemed to had a close connections with those parasite), and one of the Seven Sage. Yea, never expect Tsuzuku's boy friend (in a neutral state) at America, to be involved much rather than an information resource for her alone. Maybe he got much information about Godsuya's location from her, and took the action by himself because of his capability to crack the system at Godsuya house. Nice, girl! Well, its revealed his nice capability of him over this arc. Because of his role to be one of the operator for a backdoor monitoring global system called Hlidskjaelf (goddamn name, its hard for me to write this!). He gained much thing for those access! He even revealed the real culprit of these whole arc, one of the seven sage, leader from the no-head dragon syndicate. Well, everything just back to its basis. Nice! So, either Godsuya aggreed to be in the same line with him, or compete with it; its really Godsuya's decision alone for making the last move. I hope it will a nice clear decision. Lets see next! |

| So So the reason why Tatsuya's called Maheshvara is because he's the destroyer? What a harsh name I guess? Also all the villains till now are all connected to the plot. Next we get the showdown. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| wow that was a lot of info but it all makes sense now |
 |
| Well, what can I say, I'm thankful for the people behind the anime for giving it a good adaptation, sadly this why an anime cant give a full excellent adaptation to a LN, Mahouka world is incredible, and the LN is incredible, but it has a lot of things (like dialogues and inner thoughts) that cant be in an anime adaptation. If you really enjoy the anime, please read the LN (if you havent). Is even greater. |

| I thought the parasites couldn't get killed like that. Only the hosts would die. Or what did I miss again? Quite a bit slower this episode, loads of info but looking like build up to bigger and better things. :) |

Kotoha said: Just to kill the deserter and the ones who assisted them. The parasites in a Japan aren't the USNA"s problem, only the deserters they've possessed. Lina's two missions were to capture or kill the SCM user(which got put on ice for good) and to hunt the deserters , not to kill the parasites.-Mahesvara said: Your are correct, only the hosts died.

| Congratulations you have now captured the parasites! Congratulations you let them escape! Well guess Tatsuya will have to try to help Lina escape from being an assassin. It was a boring episode in my opinion. OK episode :/ |

| Quite liked how they didn't win basically and the parasites got taken away. Better writing of the story then it is normally honestly. |
| Cooperate or compete with Lina, well that's going to be interesting to see. Slow episode this week, the amount of talking kind of lost it for me.  |
| Leo, Erika and Miki being scared of telling Tatsuya was pretty funny. Tatsuya in the shower though, gonna make me act up. I don't think Lina is suited to be an assassin either. Still enjoyed the episode though. I want to see how they control Pixie & Honoka's ability. |

| I don't understand Miyuki this season, the blue aura that appears whenever she got mad is on thing, but in this episode she got shocked when saw Lina raiding and killing the parasite while she herself freezing and chopping off human being without emotion. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
DannyTheDonkey said: For one thing, Miyuki isn't desensitized to killing. She'll do it without hesitation when necessary, but she'll be depressed for awhile afterwards. So seeing a friend who she ultimately believes to be a kind and good person at heart, forced to preform dirty work such as assassinating defenseless foes, she'll definitely be upset about it. Hell even Tatsuya was upset with the whole situation, so it shouldn't be even a shocker for Miyuki to be as well. Also Miyuki doesn't dismember any foe she kills, so i'm confused where you got that from.I don't understand Miyuki this season, the blue aura that appears whenever she got mad is on thing, but in this episode she got shocked when saw Lina raiding and killing the parasite while she herself freezing and chopping off human being without emotion. |

It seems I was misremember, it was from s1, I guess it's Tatsuya do the chopping and Miyuki do the watching but my opinion still stands she had ever experienced this kind of thing before and that time she doesn't show any emotion. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
DannyTheDonkey said: Incorrect. Heres an example: she had ever experienced this kind of thing before and that time she doesn't show any emotion. See how visibly upset she got when she knew she went over board? If she truly was desensitized to killing why would that situation upset her? Plus I think you're completely ignoring the context of Lina's situation too. |

And What Miyuki do is just cleaning the blood. I probably ignore it, maybe I can take it she was shocked by Lina Action and not necessarily about the gore but eeh the only moment from the anime that Miyuki and Lina does is only in the duel and I don't consider it enough for the bonds between them. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| The parasites have been caught by the Section Three. Honoka is connected by Pixie by the hair accessory that Tatsuya gave him. And Tatsuya warns Saegusa of the implications that her family is running into. Too bad that Lina is still being ordered to assassinate. She's not fit to but she have no choice. And then we meet Clark to info dump Tatsuya of his future operation to finish off the Parasites. Looks like the setup for the climax of the show. |

DannyTheDonkey said: Bad example, she's doing that for Tatsuya and she obviously knows killing for him wouldn't effect him. Again your just ignoring the context with Lina's situation and you completely ignored the example i gave you. Whether you consider it enough is irrelevant both Tatsuya and Miyuki consider Lina as a friend and are worried about her, that's a fact.-Mahesvara said: Incorrect.

-Mahesvara said: Uh no, Tatsuya was very annoyed with Raymond. Obviously didn't trust him completely. He is. And they'll never get along. Tatsuya sees the Hildskjalf as a threat, so of course he wouldn't take kindly to anyone using it. Raymond knows all his secrets, after all. That said, it doesn't mean they can't resonate in one simple thing. |
Ishikami said: Except Tatsuya didn't resonate with it, because he seriously doubted Raymond's sincerity. Tatsuya cracked a smile, because he was laughing at his absurd acting.-Mahesvara said: Uh no, Tatsuya was very annoyed with Raymond. Obviously didn't trust him completely. He is.

| And of course, the parasite died in capture xD Guess it's time to bring Lina back to the 'good' side |
 |
| We had a little action that ended up with the 3 parasites being taken. But it didn't help since Lina ended up killing them. And we discovered 2 of the 7 sages. |
