Date for main girl (for this series)'s b-day. Interesting to listen to more of her thoughts.

lol @ the cafe wanting the couple to stay to attract customers.

Date cut short from a mission. Then an attack by fire user, she took care of him.

It was before they entered the school, and it seems like student council recognized her.

OP aired as ED.

Okay, Somehow from Miyuki's viewpoint this is not much attractive, I prefer onii-sama whose his abilities are underestimated. It's just at the early episode, the studio has already give us CAD check scene, and yeah she's so sexy. For some reason I feel onii-sama's character design is different from the previous season. It's true Onii-sama still looks handsome it's just a little strange. It's not a sibling activity, shopping for swimsuits and showing it to your brother. They even fooled everyone, I mean that parfait scene. Even people were watching them when Onii-sama say ahn~ to Miyuki with that parfait. Ma, It's basically a promotion for cafe owners. Happy birthday and So I see, I know how Miyuki got that snow hairpin and also woahhh almost kissing.


the first half for dating, this seems like an Otome target. the second half is full of serious dialogue but it goes back to the Onii-sama Mahouka. Onii-sama must fulfill the organization's request to fight against that modified body. That guy really set the mall on fire, Miyuki really fighy that villain , it's just that I like when Miyuki casts that magic, it sounds like chanting, lol. Either way, I'm glad to see that little girl Momoka can be reunited with her mother. Its so bad for Miyuki but it ended in a warm hug.

Am I the only one who noticed that Yotsuba Maya looks young? I didn't even realize that Miyuki was able to being the student council because of that incident, Saegusa is really watching Miyuki.

If look at it from the OP, This series can be up to the nine school festival arc.

Hmm, they just got right into this show without much introduction of the cast. Then again, this is more of a spinoff so it assumes viewers are familiar already. (even the fanservice lul)

Miyuki's affections towards Tatsuya is still evident as ever. Despite following Miyuki's side of the story, there's still tons of Tatsuya scenes. I got mixed thoughts on this. The animation...seems to have more coloring especially for the characters' eyes.

On the other hand, they really didn't waste much time with any bullshit or info dump. I'm expecting a lot of ONIISAMA this season.

It seems the character design has been changed a little. As for Tatsuya, his face has been improved.
The abnormal conversation between the brother and sister never changes, of course.

Interesting start, looking forward to see how this develops as another perspective for this anime seems quite nice. But the bro con what a show.

Seems to have more of a shoujo action vibe, can't really describe it but the colours seem more vibrant and pastel-y rather than the usual dark/neon notes this show had. The amount of onii-sama energy that's going to radiate from this, oh I can feel like it's going to have the nagatoro effect where a certain feature is blown up into the other side of reddit if you know what I mean

Lets goooo Mahouka season is back. New character designs take a while to get used to, but they’re not bad. I like getting Miyuki’s perspective of these events, personally. While many people were upset about not getting a proper third season, I think this will set up future seasons quite well.

And of course, I missed my incest bait.

I was planning to read the manga before this. I'll happily wait till this finishes.

For Miyuki's birthday, they went on a "date". And as usual, where ever the couple go there is always trouble waiting for them.

I will be looking forward to this, especially since this is from Miyuki’s perspective.

Finally Mahouka anime from the POV of our sweet and elegant waifu Miyuki begins. We got some great Miyuki fanservice right off the bat. The date was really fun, specially Tatsuya x Miyuki interactions. Later half with action was nice too.

Pretty good premise and I'm definitely looking forward to more.

Hell yes, this is what I'm talking about. An entire series about best girl Miyuki. Now I can get my weekly dose of Onii-sama and Miyuki being cute and adorable without any problems. They took the parts from Mahouka I enjoy the most and made an entire series for it. Good work guys.

Why in the world are they wasting time and resources on useless side stories like this instead of continuing the main story line?
It's not like there is a lack of material, considering LNs are way ahead.
It took like half a decade to get a second season but this nonsense piece of s*** gets produced immediately.
What a waste.
Only reason I will watch it is to watch Mayumi and Mari, instead of the brocon incest moron.

Here's the spin-off that we didn't know we needed, xD. I expected the series to be half-length and purely comedic but good to see that it isn't the case.

Tatsuya's face is hilarious honestly but he still exudes that stoic vibe like ever before, lol. Miyuki, meanwhile, is simply best girl!

I'm watching with little to no expectations but it seems like I can expect a few good things now.

That sister loving her sibling shit is super troll.... 14mins till the actual story kicks off... otherwise it's just a messed up 1 sided love story. And the other 9 mins is just exposition for her powers even though we ALREADY know what they are, and how they work.

This was just some form of filler- aka waste of time.

that was a strong opening episode also love how the episode was focusing on Miyuki and Tatsuya completely and their lots of lots of these incest moments ,love me more and more of these lovely moments lol .

tbh their the romantic relationship of these two siblings is the most important thing to me in this series and then comes the plot after it and from the look of it this could be an interesting events to go through

also from the opening this looks like it's gonna backtrack on lots of things from previous seasons but at the same time add new things !

kinda the opening worries me tho of this spinoff might be all girls only anime
i just hope Tatsuya still factor in as main here as well and not just about Miyuki and her female friends and their school festival from season 1 and more with new adds

the manga page says Tatsuya is still main here but the adaptation page says little to nothing about that so as the opening as well

i don't know either way this was a solid episode nevertheless to me , i loved it

8/10 solid rating .

There was not as many O N I- S A M A mentions as I expect from a Mahouka series. The writer of the series better deliver soon.

not too crazy about the new character designs either. They look less unique for some reason.

I have 0 clue into what i'm getting into, since I haven't watched the original series.

But this is a decent episode none of less, alot of brother x sister relations. I cannot remember the sister name's yet, but Miyuki was passed alot during this episode.

Man why does this show have to have so many incest moments, and why are bystanders LIKING THIS.

Guess the magic system is quite interesting, fire, ice, being able to remake objects, can't wait to see what comes up next.

huh...am I the only one that thinks that this is not a particularly bad anime or anything but just rather watch more seasons of the "onii-sama"?
I mean, i love Miyuki as the next guy over, I'm part of the guys that calls the rettousei anime the onii sama anime but, I just don't buy the Miyuki centered one that much, I really just want to see Tatsuya flex, that and going back to the start of the series is just kinda boring, at least by the tournament Miyuki had her focus in important stuff
Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces

The original Mahouka had no issues in the presentation depatrment whatsoever and was only dragged down by two things: the main pair gimmicks and the writing.

Guess what, at least ep.1 of Mahouka totaally fixed the writing. Let''s hope they keep it up :D

They somewhat fixed the main pair, too. I don't see them fixing the incest part. And i can't say i'm not bothered by it, because that would be a lie. However, putting it front and center right at the first episode and then giving the pair a reason to be a pair in the form of a moral mission is not an altogether bad solution.

That being said, their relationship remains more of a trashy love novel material than an actual relationship. But some people are into that i guess and that's literally the only flaw in ep.1 for me.

Going by ep1 alone, this show is 9/10 material for those who don't mind the specific configuration of the main pair. I actually was into trashy love novels when i was a teen, so i can at least relate :D

The bystanders don't know. To them, it is "Look at how good these two look together and how well they fit each other!" moment. Doesn't make it much better for me, personally, but the issue here are definitely not the bystanders.

Though i would appreciate if observing the two gave me as much of a feeling that the bystanders seem to have. And it isn't even the whole incest thing that is getting in the way, their whole relationship is just too saccharine for my liking.

This is a reboot with the new fans in mind. By that logic, the entire first half of FMA:Brotherhood was a waste of time, and that show has been top1 forever.

Miyuki the angel huh a pretty apt term for her. Nice to see her take main role this time round. As birthday gifts go spending a day with her beloved brother was a rather simple one. Still she sure is trying hard to break through Tatsuya's defences. Their meal at the café though was so cute. Instead of creating a hero the association ended up creating a villain it seems how ironic. Miyuki's defeat of the mage though while fun sure showed well that you should never make her angry for her magic will utterly destroy you if you do. Mayumi and Mari's convo was a nice foreshadow of their actions in the main story though. Overall a solid opening ep that combined some cute moments between Miyuki and Tatsuya, tension between them and the head family and those that existed within society and some pretty decent action via her fight with the mage. Given that this series main goal is to expand upon Miyuki as a character im looking forward to the nine schools competition arc as it will introduce the majority of the new characters while expanding upon ones that were barely seen within the main series.

the first season handles this introduction better
tbh I'm not looking forward to this spinoff, would recommend the original series because even though it is uncomfortably degenerate it is still a better point of entry to the series (being literally designed as a point of entry being the first season ever released in animated form)

as for my general thoughts of the spinoff, Mahouka in general has some of the worst and most awkward relationship chemistry in all of anime, and SAO levels of shitty romance dialogue. The idea of an entire spinoff season centred on Mayuki signalled red flags in my head that we would be potentially seeing this stuff even more prevalent than the original series.
The action as usual is pretty unclimactic and despite the budget increase fairly poorly directed. The way mahouka in general handles the magic system makes combat really awkward and I see no changes here.
and what pisses me off the most was that last scene, where two of the student council leaders are talking about pre-selecting Mayuki for the student council spot. I'm pretty sure there was a bit more process than this in the original first season (but maybe my memory is shit) and so this feels like a retcon. If it is then with this show Mahouka has the potential to absolutely destroy their timeline with this show (not that you care about the timeline if you unironically enjoy this shit)

overall typical mahouka stuff. If you liked the original show you'll like this

The spin-off of mahouka Koukou no Rettousei from Miyuki pov finally here. Expect more sol than the action one. That's it, her birthday time and how Miyuki got that hair ornament in the first place. But, to think that they got a little action in the end. Well, its not that its as good as same their action on the main series. But, its actually decent enough to make me stay in watching all for the sake of Miyuki onii-sama comment things till the end. So, yeah, hopefully, whatever shit it come to different art and animation, i am still appreciating this more if its stay on focus to the girls interaction only until the end of the series. I honestly can't wait for the nine school competition arc again. So, yeah, lets see next, then....
