I'd say the existence and completion of that tower is a symbol of technological advancement in their world.

Dunno how I feel about that Honami girl but worth keeping an eye on her. Of course, no party in Mahouka is without some drama added in. No one is safe in the show.

Those first scene and those oppai, The party was very elegant especially Shizuku so beautiful. 2000m tower absolutely breaks, Is this Miyuki and Sakurai's first time meeting? Seeing Miyuki's expression it seemed ... rather than a black company with dozens of wizards stationed underground for this tower... The explanation of the strategy is so simple, just attack and backup ... Perfect combination.

They managed to overcome that, as usual Onii-sama realized their actions. Teleportation magic is very useful, can I call that xD. Calling him "Ojou-sama" too op for loli, xD.

After all, masks are very important, especially in these conditions, xD. Shizuku can grasp the problem accurately, Did the terrorists at the last moment say "Dorei" Terrorists always do whatever they want, lol.

Discussing about the danger of the building.

Just realized that the new girl working for their aunt has same voice as the maid doll and Hayami-san's character is surprised.

Younger sibling wants to capture the terrorist, while older sibling wanting to follow mission, which is different. They are working as a team (offense & support).

Main guy saw their action from faraway. Though it's not the end since there are members waiting and has alternative plan.

They give people chance to escape before exploding.

A 12th straight 10/10 episode from 8bit.

Fumiya and Ayako’s dynamic was really fun to see and I enjoyed their banter a lot.

The terrorists are pretty damn polite to give everyone a one hour heads up to evacuate lol. Sad there’s only one more episode to go. Need double sevens announced ASAP.

Fortunately we can rely on Tatsuya's sharpness, as always.

Can't believe those 2 girls didn't get caught hiding, worst hiders I've ever seen lmao literally kinda noisy.

Damn terrorist, they must be plotting something because 1 hour is too long, I wonder why would they want everyone to escape. Tho I don't think they are that smart to plan anything crazy.

First time seeing Kuroba Fumiya as Yami animated and I have to say, he looks way too feminine just like he was described in the light novel.
Anyways, he and his sister, Ayako, make a great duo.

Probably thanks to Ayako's magic.

Perfect Diffusion (極致拡散) is a Convergence Type and Dispersion Type Magic that levels out the target area's gaseous, fluid, and physical energy distributions to the point of non detection. Normal Magicians can only use the weaker version, Diffusion, with difficulty. It's Kuroba Ayako's innate magical ability, also known as "Perfect Darkness".

Any gas or liquid that is distributed by physical energy is averaged out in a designated area, making it impossible to identify. The 'Decomposition' and the direction of the event modifications are similar in respect to the increasing depth by how the reduction of the identifiable area becomes.


Even if that wasn't the case, they were probably far enough away that no one could hear them anyway.

Makes sense to make a more "anime original" episode or two so they can end it in the 13 episodes.

Sakurai was introduced to the siblings, so this means there is a possibility of a season 3?

I am digging that sibling love between Ayako and Fumiya. Great stuff. Honestly thought these twins were middle schoolers, if that's the case than Ayako is busty af with how short she is!

So those 2 magicians Ayako and Fumiya managed to capture seems to be more of an distraction or something as the rest of the group had already been positioned inside the tower.

How ridiculous is this tower though... 2000m high, one day maybe...

Looks like the Yotsuba family has more than Minami than they're counting on for the tower job. Ayako and Fumiya are also here as well. Though their parameters seem pretty strict. But the tower really is quite impressive. Given how fond Miyuki was of Minami's deceased aunt who died defending her Miyuki's surprise was to be expected. The bond between Ayako and Fumiya though sure is strong though the teasing from the latter sure serves to enhance it. Still the skills of the two really is impressive. Ayako's teleportation combined with Fumiya's skill at close combat really made a potent a team out of them. As plans go the terrorists one was a pretty good one. Shock, speed and gas were made for the most potent of combos. But nice little crisis for Tatsuya and Miyuki to deal with in the finale next week.

Couldn't recall this part from the LN, damn, must've gotten old, time to reread. In my memories the part where they captured the new breed front guys ended pretty quickly and i dont recall a terror attack as well. The only thing i remember were stuffs like tatsuya exchanging banters with shizuku's parents in the party.

Also yasuno-san at her full katou megumi voice there as minami, great stuff.

Its true that magicians have fewer rights and less freedom than normal citizens. Though things have improved for them over the past few decades, but at the end of the day governments and military's still view them more as assets rather than people. Just look at Tatsuya and Lina's situation, they're basically trapped as being weapons for their nations.

Tbf its not his choice, it just worked out that way cause well he's not manly in appearance and its a good way to throw off any facial recognition tracking since the systems would be looking for a female instead of a male. He could wear a mask, but eh I think Ayako pushed for the cross dressing because its good entertainment for her xD.

Its kinda weird seeing this one as a closurement for the visitor arc, especially if the episode still had two more episodes. The hype already gone long before. Oh well, guess i just need to follow up, then.

This episode likely served as an opening to the another arc which is good for the possibility of another season. So, yeah, like i said, i think i just need to follow up whats goin on here with a little knowledge about anything before. Well, the introduction of Fumiya and Ayako magic power were already strong.

Teleportation, silence field, electric shock. Wow that magics were very good and useful for those kind of mission. They already showed it ellegantly and pretty much finished the job without any other problem. Good, and the interaction somehow make me smile. Even though, yeah, the cross-dressing appearance of Yami aka Fumi kinda make me surprise a bit. However, its okay for him. Sometimes you need to be different to attract more audiences.

Anyway, their action were done below. Now, its time for Sakurai to showed off her skill. I don't recall that another Sakurai name before. Was she already introduced beforehand? If someone can recall me why Miyuki surprise, and when she met the name, it will be good.

Otherwise, its just fine. The terrorists band was just a typical villain, with their own justification reason. Guess, Godsuya may only be an observant here to let the maid girl shines. Lets see next....

Oh, well, i thought its Tatsuya's mother there since there was no explanations whose that xd.
So, what happened to Tatsuya mother, then? I am pretty sure season 1 was not detailling her conditions in the past. Can you even give me a bit of summary of vol 8 too? And what kind of connections from those scene to the storyline? Sorry if the questions kinda disturbing xd.

So pretty much we're in an original? part of the anime cause Visitor Arc ended a week ago. The Kuroba twins did an awesome job to apprehend the two agents, nice sibling teamwork there. Also Kuroba doing a crossdress there is a little weird ngl.

But it seems Tatsuya's relief on those two is not enough as the main group of the New Breed Front (NBF) has taken their action from underground. Looks like there will be a fight in the Tokyo Offshore Building in the last episode.

Tatsuya and Miyuki's mom died about 2 years ago from magic overuse which made her health deteriorate. There is a summary of volume 8 on the mahouka wiki I believe.

Should also be noted that Honami also appears in flashbacks the Shiba siblings have in the movie. Which is safe to watch if you haven't already, since the anime has passed that point in the timeline.

If you don't mind spoiler,
Vol 8 (reminiscence arc) basically a flashback about family trip to okinawa during summer vacation (august, 2092).

Ayako and Fumiya do surprise me in a few ways. Mostly because that Ayako has a larger chest than I thought she normally had (her red dress she was wearing in the opening scene was hot AF, though) and that Fumiya looks good in his female disguise. Other than that, their chemistry when they're working together was really good. The guards reactions on the boat when they caught their targets was funny, I must say. =3

We were also treated to seeing Miyuki, Honoka and Shizuku in lovely dresses and they all looked beautiful. Same goes for Minami, too.

Aside from the nice clothing, the main terrorists have made their move and what they want, but they've also targeted the building which has a certain Tatsuya inside. Time for him to smack these scrubs in the next episode, hopefully. XD

Ayako is about to be a high schooler, so she's a teenager whose at least 15. And yes, some clothes in mahouka hide bust sizes well and she likely binds her chest so it doesn't upset her balance in combat. Plus Ayako is known to have a pretty large bust despite her short stature.

From Fandom: "In the official sub, the terrorist group is called the 'New Breed Front'. The name spoken, however, is Shinjinrui Front (進人類フロント) which literally translates to Advance Humanity Front, or Advancement of Humanity Front for better flow in English. The spelling was confirmed in the preview for episode twelve."

I think Sensei may have been going for " 'Advanced Humanity' Front", kind of like "Homo Superior". The translations may have been too "broad" and too "literal", respectively.

Just my take. Literally. Disprove me and I won't cry.

Bruh, why spend time on an original when you should've polished and made Visitor Arc better? They also didn't adapt volume 8 which talks about the past between Tatsuya and Miyuki and how relevant the Sakurai is in the plot. In fact,


For a second I thought we're already on Double Seven because of the new semester and Minami debuting. Everything happened really quickly. I didn't remember Minami being that shy and cute, in fact she was everything but cute.
