| Why does everyone here say the next episode will end the enrollment arc? I thought it was already confirmed that this arc was going to take 7 episodes. If they animate the entire occupation and fight sequences, and perhaps the explanation about how the student council had already implemented counter-measures for that surprise attack at the end of this episode, I think it would be absolutely perfect pacing for the end of this arc on ep 7. That said, Mayumi's speech was a lot better than what they had in the manga at least, but at the same time the atmosphere of the debate didn't seem to fit with what was described in the LN or the manga (she owned all their arguments with logic and gained all the normal Class 2 students respect, I didn't see it that way in the anime). All the tactical positioning before the debate and preparations for the expected attack weren't really shown as much as in other sources either, making all the capturing of students at the end just a sudden, on-the-spot thing, and less impressive than it should have been. The preview kind of showed the Magic students getting owned by regular mercs, which is NOT what happened in the books.... The regular mercs got their butts handed to them. I really hope they didn't animate it like that just for a bit of leveling of the playing field... it just doesn't make sense. Magic users > Normal Mercs any day of the year. |

If you did some research, a trigger pull at a distance of 20 yards is faster than Miyuki's casting time by a factor of 4. With semi-auto action it's about 15-25 pulls per minute, which equates to max 50 rounds down range. But given the option to use automatic fire, you got 600 rounds per minute to play with. A mage would lose a duel even with Miyuki's casting time of 220 ms. Ignoring the element of surprise and reaction time, you got a hail of bullets coming at the mage at a muzzle velocity (let's take the AK-47, 715 m/s). If you remember high school physics, then you should know that kinetic energy is defined as the 1/2 times the mass (of the bullet in this case) times the velocity of that object squared. A 7.62x39mm bullet (just the bullet) is around 8 grams, so you got 2.1 kJ of energy per bullet projecting toward an area. Assuming you got a really strong force field that can withstand all those bullets while adhering to the 3rd law of motion, or the mage can dodge bullets to fire their CAD at them without turning into swiss cheese in the process, then I guess the mages miiiight have a chance of getting out of that situation alive with maybe a few wounds. tl;dr- trigger pull speed along with bullet velocity would've hit the mage before they can cast, this series is f***ed. |

RexZShadow said: Not sure if this will be explained later or not but magic unconciously have data fortifcation around their body as protection so normal guns unless at close range won't be able to hurt them (same thing with weak spells) Which is why when fighting against magician they use high caliber rounds. Granted hail of bullets when your not prepared and against unarmed students their not going to stand a chance XD What kinda calibers are we talking about here? |

I believe it's not about the calibers from what I read from the LN. (Sorry if I get it wrong, I'm not really an expert of weapons) |
Dragon_Slayer_X said: Just to add to this, wrenchbread's theory has a few flaws. Battle of attrition. Throw enough guns (and heavy artillery) at a problem and it'll eventually solve itself. :lol Either the mages book it or get tired/run outta gas. And gunpowder is already in a solid state. You can't really freeze it unless you mean somehow move some water into the powder inside the rounds, then freeze them. Humidity is the problem. |

If bombarded by several guns and heavy artillery continuously, it may be true that even a talented magician may not be able to stand that, as they run the risk of draining out their stamina and their magic. But then again, a talented combat magician should avoid that situation in the first place :) For the second one, the LN also addressed this issue. (Again sorry for spoiling some parts of the story....) |

ChronosXIII said: Who the fuck uses an RPG to attack a school? Geezus, that seems like overkill. I'm finding this adaptation to be rather lackluster. The pacing seems to be crawling along... I hope next episode is the conclusion of the Blanche arc. Move into the Magic Tournament Games already, please. Considering this is a school for mages... I'd rather be safe than sorry. I'd even call in air support for good measure. |
| Boring episode. At least there was less Miyuki. Hope she gets hit by a stray bullet and dies. |

| Mahouka MW 2 :o Lmao look at those weapons. It's year-2095!!! *clap,clap* -_- |

Always-Hungry said: Mahouka MW 2 :o Lmao look at those weapons. It's year-2095!!! *clap,clap* -_- I think it's because they are trying to portray those guys as terrorist. If they had laser weapons... they would look too cool? |
| Well, at least less Miyuki's ince...ugh overly brocon act on this episode. Skyray said: Always-Hungry said: Mahouka MW 2 :o Lmao look at those weapons.

Why the hell it is must wield guns to be called terrorist. you got me if that sarcasm. XD Yeah, actually they must have at least laser like weapon... But it seems in Mahouka, all tech advancement is focused heavily on Magic. so their "normal" scientific weapon is still suck. i can accept it. |

Pretty much eveything in weaponry is devoted on CAD rather than building more epic guns XD Coz the magicians are still your strongest fighting force if you get behind on CAD development you fail. It is still weird though...at least the terrorist must use a more devastating weapon than that, though. They must be know already that normal weapon like that will get stomped by Magicians, yet they still attacking with guns. i can accept the tech, but i can't help but feel something ridiculous with those terrorist. And they attacking the best magician school. XD RediceRyan said: More boring dialogue and uninteresting character interactions 90 percent of the time. Mahouka verse have a really rigid society, so it is not weird when people easily got bored by conversations they had. |
| It was nice seeing the other student council members do stuff. Other than that really still not too happy with this show. I feel Tatsuya is too good at everything, and that he should have built up to be this good over the course of the series instead. I did laugh at Mizuki saying something along the lines of "If you could do that too, you'd be too perfect." I'm thinking to myself...that ship has already sailed Mizuki. |
| Ok... so highschool kids get their hands on automatic weaponry and RPGs just because they're being discriminated against and being called names in school. If you're smart and resourceful enough to get your hands on shit like that, then I would assume you'd have the brains to dismiss their name calling as empty words of a retarded ignorant bigot and get on with your life, but NOPE. Gotta resort to terrorism over pointless highschool discrimination. It's just so fucking dumb.. like I don't even understand why those weed kids would do something like this (in fat I do, it's called shitty writing and escalating the situation needlessly for dramatic effect, but I digress) I mean, they're just trading one label (weed) for another (terrorist). Way to get people to sympathize with you fucking retards. [sarcasm]Spectacular writing going on in this show.[/sarcasm] |

| Just as thing about clears up there is always the troublemaker |
| I wonder if Mibu even knows what she's doing. She seems like a good person. |
| Wow a certain scene in this episode felt very Hyouka |
 |
| Here comes the build up, can't wait for next episode :D |
 |
| Seems like I am the only enjoying this more than NGNL, I like info dumps that actually requires me to use my brain than something where I have to off my brain to enjoy it. That being said the directing in this is a bit weird and it does need to pick up its pace a bit. |

| I'd say this was the best episode so far, just because the fucking sister shut up for once. Still mediocre though. :/ |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Everything looked good until they got attacked Blooms and Weeds working together. Dream come true |
| anime intensifies all hell breaks loose !! |

Hazardous said: Uh no, Miyuki's depiction here is spot on. She does get pissed almost all the time, and dam near freezes the whole school each time. If anything the LN readers should have more of a reason to dislike her because of Vol. 8, given what a shallow character she was and how cheap her reversal of opinions felt. The problem is there are people that will not like an adaptation no matter what. Especially when it comes to light novels. Sure the pacing is a little fast here, but overall this is a faithful adaptation and people still complain. Mod Edit: Modified quote tower; please spoiler or remove old quotes. |
