Oh boy, they got a vampire and murder case problem. This episode took on a darker turn and the talk about the parasites.

At least Erika got more screen time. She better be more relevant. Yup, this arc just a bit darker.

Poor Leo, A magician that doesn't work against cast jamming? Is that GodSuya? what was the identity of that robed woman ...Is it just my feeling that Shibata's oppai gets nerfed?

Another victim... Talking about it at school.

Fights. Terashima-san's character getting involved.

Parasite?

Hikasa-san's character meeting while mask on. The two who fought the criminals didn't know her real identity, huh...

Ex-school council president and vice-president talking. This became very serious that they need to get involved.

ED is nice, for a newcomer.

They already revealed the identity of the vampires to be "parasites" thanks to Mikihiko's knowledge.

Lina posing in front of the mirror was funny.

The ED was nice.

It would seem as if they introduced the main antagonist of this arc, Mr. Masked Man. he seems to be very over powered, well he's supposed to a vampire so I guess it makes sense.

Tatsuya and Miyuki didn't get that much screen time this episode guess they were trying to get this story going.
Next episode should be interesting...........hopefully.

Good episode :)

Only took funimation 5 hours to upload the damn ep...

Great episode. Got some very important information today about the “vampire” killer and “parasites” Laying the groundwork for what’s to come later in the arc. Obviously a very dialogue heavy episode, as you’d expect with Mahouka, but the action scenes at the beginning were very well done. 8bit doing a solid job so far, hope they can keep it going for my AOTS.

Also, Angie’s dressing scene 🤤... need that

So, is there any reason why Godsuya didn't heal Leo? The cat is kinda out of the bag after the scorched halloween, so would make sense to help his buddy out.

Also the antagonists are totally ripping off Rorshach from the watchmen. :D


He can only repair physical damage, he can't repair damage to the spirit or soul atm.

Hmm looks like the vamps have an overall goal in mind. Have to say the masks and the long coats really make them sinister. The opening from ASCA though sure was excellent. Still despite being an accepted fact in society its sad that factions like the humanists continue to exist. Being possessed sure allowed the mages to improve their skills dramatically. Leo though sure had a lucky escape thanks to Lena's intervention. Still paranormal parasites huh interesting. The amount of victims sure was high. Overall an interesting ep that did well to showcase the power that the vampires have as well as the amount of victims that they had left in their wake. With the assault on Leo looks like Tatsuya and friends are also looking to join in the hunt as well. An alliance with Mayumi and Jumanji will be quite beneficial as well. The ending theme sure was pretty calming.

Yeah, just what we can expect from this series, quite a lot of information on the situation at hand, which in this case are vampire/parasites or whatever.

Leo looked pretty strong out there even after getting his spirit energy drained quite a bit, he seemed to put up a tough act though as he looked in far worse shape after everyone left.

That Lina dress change scene though, her posing in front of that mirror was god damn sexy. Need more of that please!!

Still not enough Onii-sama!!

These new villains looks dangerous for sure, and aiming Leo this early on was probably the biggest mistake they could have made. (Now they got Godsuya on their trails, I don't think the two baddies are going to last long)

Compared to episode 1, this episode pace is better. This looks like boring episode but in my opinion this episode is good for build up the story. Overall, Im glad that this episode is much more like mahouka that I usually watch

Tried episode 2 and and I have absolutely no idea what's going on. I honestly only recognise one character so I dropped it.

After reading episode 1's topic, it appears that I missed some previous airings of this anime. That's the reason why I only recognised the one guy who blocked the blond's attack in the first episode.

Oh well. I may watch season 1 but not anytime soon.

The animation worsens a bit from the last episode, not that it's great in the first place.

Bit of a boring episode, I'm not saying it's bad since this is just a build-up of what's coming. Guess I'll check out the LN.

This arc is going to be darker, huh. And don't you feel that Tatsuya's presence ain't being felt yet this season, I don't think it's just me.

We have a new enemy in our list, an occult who leeches on people's blood. That is a scary enemy to face with. This episode was kinda getting on the rhythm with the Stardusts and Angelina fighting the masked occult but then half of the episode ended up being dialogue-heavy. That was kinda boring. Mayumi now formed an alliance with the Jumonjis. Leo is dead sick in the hospital, Erika is hot and Tatsuya is nowhere to be noted.

Okay, a mysterious murder cases appeared after the war? It seemed a bit off, but surely the state of war never even had any peace moment. Left aside my mind, lets back to the story. Well, they called the duo white mask 'a vampire', due to their victims getting sucks of their blood and targetting the physical body of the magicians. They wanted to created another artificial magicians, like them, eh? Well, Mayumi and Jumonji formed an alliances were seriously surprising me. But, thanks to that scenes, the information about the victim's identity exposed.

The rest of the information still unclear, together with the real identity of that unknown duo vampire, and their real intentions in Japan. Tatsuya looks like still not in the mood to moved his ass to clear the cases with his own hands. No order, no direct disturbance, so yeah, he might chill his ass off for a certain episodes later. Lol. About Leo, he had some minor changes over his art design, i believed. His interaction with Erika, became, closer? Lol, with Erika determination there. She was indirectly said that she wanted revenge all of the loss her beloved have back there.

Also, its really interesting to listened the explanations about a supernatural thingy from Miki. He was an expert about that. So i don't have any doubt about his contract, and else about the old magic. I am obviously curious to see their others move to get rid of the trouble and exposed the identity of them. I just hope that Lina came in to seek an official help from Tatsuya. Because its shall be my massive amount of satisfaction. Second episodes in, and my curiosity already fulfilled my mind, together with the intrigueing opening with some new characters.

The ending theme was, kinda cute, tho. Miyuki always be my center of attention. So, i don't mind that damn thing at all.

I'm still a little disappointed with the lack of Miyuki's "Onii-sama" so far this season. =(

Ah well. At least to make up for that in this episode, we did get treated to a nice fanservice scene with Lina in the changing room, from her pink undies to that rather cute pose in front of the mirror. XD

While the fight scene isn't as good from an animation standpoint as what season 1 offered, calling it bad is rather unjust. It was still pretty good seeing Leo defending himself against a rather unknown enemy with skills that took him by complete surprise. It'll be interesting to see what the "Parasites" will do next and who will try and stop them next time.

The ED visuals and song was rather calm and pleasant, though. =)

Indeed, indeed. Half of us are here for seeing Tatsuya going OP to the max and then see his sister blushing and calling him "oni.sama"

It felt like this show never tried to explore characters much and we'll probably see the same thing with this season. This episode, like many others from this series focuses on the action and the story. I can't complain about it because the animation is decent, but for some reason this is the first time I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Because, and Idk if this is just me, until now I never noticed how great the lip syncing is and that's a thing that never got my attention when watching anime. This show is on a whole different level, I tell ya man!
