| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So the school mistress once again proves she's a badass not to mess with. No surprise there. About time the Ghost Trailers are in action again. I knew Gekkou had other ulterior motives. This guy just doesn't forget about the past.. Gekkou vs. Takeshi this episode too. I kinda wanted to see his ability tbh, or rather the full extent of it. Dat wings. |

| Long sleeper boss has woken up. Looks like one of the followers is Nobu's character?! Sudden attack with red dragon. So he learned the magic from the enemy to get revenge and get childhood girl with him. So he already killed mother. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Well, it seems like he will kill the mother with her own sword. Mui continues to disappoint me and now takeshi joins the disappoints uran crew... |
| Watch Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, you wont be disappointed. http://q.pokefarm.org/user/Uran10 Check out My Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEz0PrV3Vh-ksW0mzOWnnSQ  |
| That's say everything that Gekkou is not sane at all in this episode look at him |

| I cannot believe the amount of times Kurumi shouted "Takeshi!" in this episode. She really is such a useless damsel in distress, and now Takeshi will typically have to go and save her useless self from the clutches of his douchebag brother. Such an annoying trope. Goodness, this anime can be so terrible at times. |
| Dull... Such a dull series. Every scene shout it's below mediocre. Why even bother creating something like that. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Lets gaww with the ntr.... And we all saw that gekkou isnt a sane person |

 |
| Best moment, Momoka being a badass. bleh. |
 |
| Kurumi being uselss and Takeshi being a weak fck. Anything new? |
 |
| Gekkou can just fuck off. |

Jamie-sama said: I still hate this show with a passion, but this episode was the best so far. For the reason that watching gekkou beat the shit out of takeshi was surprisingly enjoyable (gekkou best character), I'm disappointed he didn't hurt him more. Although kurumi is a useless shit, miu is a useless shit, and from the end of the episode it lookalike takeshit will get some random asspull power up. +1 I love the fact Takeshi is getting his ass whooped. You can tell he is going to get a power up. I swear this show seems like its done by the Blazblue anime studio. I couldn't agree more with your post. lol |
| Well at least we didn't have some random time skip in the middle of this episode, the way we have had in others. I have to admit I don't feel much about any of these characters to tell the truth. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |

Seeing awful characters being beaten is always fun though. |

| Any little piece of sympathy I could have for Gekkou is gone, he's whiny crazy-ass psychotic and hypocrite son of a bitch.... The relationship between those 2, kind of reminds me that of Marche and Doned in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, except with Gekkou being a ton lot more twisted, the darn bastard. Well now I know something for real. You know when you're seeing a creepy unrestrained psychopath when you let Nobuhiko Okamoto handle it '-' |
 |
| OML! Takeshi ain't worth shit in a fight! It's true that Gekkou is a psycopath, but I was sure Takeshi would put up a better fight. Isoshima is worthless, too. All she could do is just scream Takashi's name, kiss him, and then take his form. What good did that do for him or her? |
 |
| Calling Isoshima useless is an insult to the word useless. |
| Okay let's make this quick... Things I liked: Gekkous power. It looked really cool and those wings! Kurumi kissing the idiot. Things I loathed: Gekkou. What an annoying character... No reason, just pure yandere behaviour. Annoying like no tomorrow. Miu. She is only good if she doesn't speak. Takeshi. Can you get more pathetic as a main character? Acting all high and mighty and getting trashed that fast. Pendragon attacking out of nowhere. Not only did two or three months just pass like that, they just attacked and killed innocent students. Way to go. The principal acting all high and mighty just to be defeated by another trailer... <.< The pacing. I'm not kidding. How can you destroy a story like that? |
| Was this anime really supposed to boost the LN sales? This adaptation just make the LN look like a badly written fanfic. You know...the kind of stuff you write when you're bored during classes. Now I wonder if the LN is just as bad. I hope not. I feel sorry for the author. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| I like Gekkou. Screw Takeshi. Get the girl, Gekkou! |
rajurashmi2000 said: Erm I'm not so sure about the year difference of experience at that. For all we know he could have been a magician for longer time, specially if it was trained my Washizu.this has to be the shittiest story in recent times in terms of cliches. useless girlfriend, evil brother who gains more power than mc even though the mc has a year more of experience, worthless mother who encourages conflict between brothers by ignoring the younger ones growing evilness (she really deserves to die in my opinion). now takeshi is going to train to beat his brother in mere days despite the fact that he had a year more experience than him and still got trashed. how cliche! Sadly I agree with Isoshima being useless, apart from that I still like her, I mean she DID server as a human shield, sort of, if that counts in some way. |
|
| Can't we take Takeshi, all his dramas, the blonde guy and Isoshima (ESPECIALLY ISOSHIMA) and put them in a box and never open it again ? Seriously I'm good with just Mui, her brother and badass loli director |
| Screaming Takeshi's name will definitely help him. :/ |
 |
| What a crappy fight. He just stood there, boring! Takeshi such a wimp. |
 |
| I hate to be that guy but.... They mad this anime this stomach-churningly horrible on purpose... right? It physically hurts me to watch this, and I'm far from an elitist.... (heck an anime elitist would look at my list and laugh at my poor taste) |
| Kurumi is so useless, well at least the 'plot' is moving forward. |
| Dat red dragon is awesome looking! Violet got fired but she may be offer another job. Takeshi my man, you now have a real reason to whoop Gekkou(I pronounce it geico)'s ass. |
| Takeshi got his ass wooped and his waifu stolen. Another average episode for a mediocre series ~_~....... |
| Well, a lot certainly happened in this episode. It may actually fall into the category of "too much happened in this episode", but still- not an all that bad episode. My first reaction when the end credits came up, however, was "What? That's it?" Director Loli once again tries to be the epic bad ass, only to fall short in the end. It was as anti-climatic as Violet said when it happened. Ida once again shows that he's not the brightest crayon in the box. I get wanting to look out for his younger sister, but running around without any kind of plan during an assault by a dragon? Seriously dude, like think before you act. Mui should have realized her bad ass older brother would be alright, and would find his way to her, instead of running out on her own to look for him. But, at least she put up a fight before being saved. That's more than I can say for our other MCs. Kurumi. Just saying her name makes me cringe. Most 'Damsel in Distress' characters are more useful than she is, I think I've seen her be useful in this series one time. And it was for like one quick scene. She serves no purpose at all, she clings on to the victim/target of her obsession. That's her magic, it's not the crappy transformations, it's her ability to cling on to the victim/target of her obsession without failure of any kind. As many times as she shouted "Takeshi" in this episode, I thought I was watching old episodes of Inuyasha. Except that even when Kagome was shouting his name a billion times per second in every single episode, she was still useful! Let Gekkou have the dumb bitch, at least the Trailer's are the type that would kill her annoying ass when they realized how useless she is. That would make me like them right there, kill Kurumi and you've won me over! Takeshi vs. Gekkou. This was pathetic. Now, it's a given that at this point Gekkou pretty much had to win the first encounter in order to progress the story. It wouldn't have made sense for Takeshi to win this time, at least not to this particular storyline. However, Takeshi, dude, really? He's your brother, you feel bad for the accident that he's holding over your head, but seriously? You could have at least put some effort into it. Gekkou. Psychotic, ego-maniacal, retard. Still holding a grudge against his brother for no reason other than the storyline calls for him to be some angry psycho. Admits that he wants the girl and the sword, then blames his brother for acting as if he owns everything. Look not for any logic coming from this idiot. Psychotic doesn't have to mean stupid, but apparently most writers forget this detail. Gekkou seems more like the type that just wants to watch the world burn, no rhyme or reason, just anger and hatred overflowing from his crippled gay frame. With that out of the way, I'm looking forward to seeing how events unfold in the last 3 episodes. I admit this series has been rushed, and probably should have 24 episodes, instead of 12. But, it's still been one of the better series of the season. It has, at least, kept some consistency throughout the weeks. A lot of the series from this season have started out showing no promise or potential only to develop into good stories, or start out showing all kinds of potential only to end up a random, chaotic, mush of wasted "what could have been". All in all, I'll give this episode a 7/10. |

| This show has no flow at all. Scenes are literally just strung together. Idk why some of you thought Gekkou was going to be an interesting character. He's the essence of a whining tween. 3 more episodes. kurosai16 said: well at least its better than maken-ki 2, that's what you call stupid fanservice with no plot Wrong. Maken-ki is going for that. It's suppose to be fanservice with no plot. If you started watching that for plot then you're retarded. This show is a wannabe fantasy/action/drama/romcom that needs to have a plot to make it watchable and failed to deliver an even mediocre story. The_Bif said: I admit this series has been rushed, and probably should have 24 episodes, instead of 12. But, it's still been one of the better series of the season.

Consistency? Better shows of the season? Whatever floats your boat dude. |

| most people calls Kurumi useless but when you watch it again all the mains were useless..... Takeshi just annoys me Momoka, Tsuganashi, Nanami and Eterna/Twilight(just being bias with her) was the only people useful there |

| Things this show clearly failed to deliver: -Kurumi not being a fight type. No explanation. -Mui character being limitted. Only onii-chan~ -Gekkou? The dude clearly hit his head in the accident or was his brain present in his knee. I was skeptical before but after watching this episode proved it. That mom is super hot when glaring. o_0 |
| As of 27/7/14 I have decided trap anime Sword Art Online II has more appeal than Mahouka. |

Consistency? Better shows of the season? Whatever floats your boat dude. As another has already pointed out, a romcom? I don't think we're watching the same show here. Fantasy/Action, yes. Drama/RomCom, no. I don't really know anything about Maken-ki, so I cannot comment there. I can, however, elaborate on my comments that you pointed out. I simply stated that given how one of the biggest complaints about this series so far has been the time jumping, stale narrative, filled to the brim nature of these often very fast paced and insanely rushed episodes- well, if this series was say 24 episodes instead of 12, would they have had to thrown together episodes like that? No. The answer is no, they could have paced things and let things flow more. The fact that you immediately jump to the conclusion that 12 more episodes of this show would only "prolong it's scraping past the finish line" and "the characters are awful" shows me two things: 1) You hate the show and are judging it with bias. And 2) You really are just too biased to your own opinion to see understand my statement without this explanation. But, as you said, "Whatever floats your boat, dude." As for saying the show has kept some consistency throughout the weeks? Once again, I think the very fact that you questioned this comment shows your bias. It's consistency isn't a matter of whether the show is good or not, or how much one may or may not like it, but is merely a statement of fact. This show has stayed true to what it started as, from the very first episode this show has not strayed from what it gave us in episode one. Some episodes may have been more talk than action, or vice versa, and some episodes were better than others, but each and every episode has had the same consistency. They've all followed the same plot, and same formula. Which is why I say it's one of the better shows of the season. I, personally, enjoy this show despite all of it's quite obvious flaws and faults. But, putting that aside, and comparing it to other anime of the season- I've seen two major things happening in the anime for this season: They either start out showing all kinds of potential and turn into random, chaotic, plotless messes; or they start off showing no potential, bland and boring, and end up picking up at the end of the run with some great plot and/or action that's supposed to make everything you slept through during the previous episodes meaningful and whatnot. This series, on the other hand, started off decent for what it is and is ending decent for what is it. Consistency. |

| not sure for this but this anime has bad directing.... not saying the director is bad at his/her job |
|
| WHY THE HELL AM I STILL WATCHING THIS PIECE OF SHIT OF AN ANIME?!?! Thank god this nightmare is almost finish!! The agony of having to watch 3 more useless episodes coz I try to avoid dropping shows. Such a trifling matter for the two brother's to fight and funny yet irritating to watch the extent of the yandere (Gekkou) character to get his revenge!! SO DUMB!!! |

The_Bif said: Gotta say I find most of this pretty accurate. The curb stomping suffered from this invasion was a bit too much indeed. Ida Knocked Out instantly (well not a first in anime, manga or novels in which a character rushes without thinking, if anything it is pretty normal).Well, a lot certainly happened in this episode. It may actually fall into the category of "too much happened in this episode", but still- not an all that bad episode. My first reaction when the end credits came up, however, was "What? That's it?"

All in all, I'll give this episode a 7/10. Director was badass, but somehow I feel like she stopped fighting when she looked at that dragon for a reason, as if she knew the dragon somehow. Kind of weird that Violet just knocked her out and did not kill her (or so I believe) and then rushes to Takeshi. Clearly she has motives outside those of the Trailers, and Director may have noticed something out of place, while not really knowing what may that have been. The Takeshi and Kurumi thing was exaggerated I believe, but yeah needed for progression. Kurumi was useless? Well yeah, but then again what could she have done? It is not as if she wants to fight Gekkou either, if anything neither of them wanted, Takeshi pretty much tried to defend himself and that's it. The power gap is debatable here. One thing is for certain, Gekkou is one hypocrite psycho bitch that needs a real lesson. At the very least Kurumi being human shield did something, somehow....... The Pendragon community allying with the Trailers was a bit unexpected so it explains why their asses were kicked so quickly, and now we will have more communities involved, Violet arguably being part of one of them. |

| Wow I wish Gekkou was the main character after this episode. |
