The Irregular at Magic High School (light novel)
Ronninn said: I didn't read the LN but isn't this kind fucked considering it's just 13 episodes The "Volumes" the tweet is mentioning are the Volumes of the Blu-rays, not the Volumes of the Light Novels adapted. The Double Seven and Steeplechase Arcs both are 1 Volume, and the Ancient City Insurrection one is 2 Volumes. So yes, it'll be a little bit rushed, but only very slightly more than the Raihousha-hen Season, and it still is above the average, which is 4 Volumes in 12 Episodes. |

First 2 season were also very rushed but at least we got 39 episodes adapting 9 vol (4.33 ep per vol). Now we are down to 3 episodes per volume. As i said in the post you quoted, 4 Volumes in 12 Episodes (so 3 Episodes per Volume) is actually the average for Light Novels adaptation to animation. So yes, it's rushed, but even 6 Episodes per Volume is still rushed, and lose a lot of the detail and characterization of the story; that's just how difficult it is to translate a text-based media on a visual one. 3 Episodes for ~200 pages of text definitely is short, but it's still somehow enough to get the core of the story understood, and for Mahouka, we are a little bit above of that, with the repartition even being unequal this Season (4 Episodes for Double Seven and Steeplechase, but 5 for the 2 Volumes of Ancient City Insurrection). It's definitely sad that such a popular work gets such an average adaptation (adaptation-wise), but that's how it is. If you want the full story, the Light Novel is available; the Anime is merely an ads to boost the sales of it. |
