Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei Anime Thread

[Paitouch]

I just like seeing people get wrecked.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

I like trolls.

[Frostedflakes]

yay a anime thread!

latest ep was nice tho more mental nudity makes me laugh xD
hard to believe leo and erika are course 2 students but then aggain we havent seen course 1 students in a real allout battle yet

[Arashi_Leonhart]

They don't explain it very well in the anime, but Tatsuya, Leo and Erika firmly belong in Course 2. Speed, scale, and strength of the spell are the metrics they evaluate. Leo and Erika are firmly mediocre, Tatsuya is terrible. All Erika and Leo do is enhance their physical abilities anyway.

Although I'm more disappointed they didn't have Tatsuya point out to Sayaka what his lofty goal was in their cafe discussion from the previous ep.

Just so I'm clear, we're already into, what, the second volume now?

[Arashi_Leonhart]

I think that last ep covered up to chapter 10 of vol 2? So next ep will finish off the volume I assume.

It's almost like you're stalking him. How ever will you make it when One for All drops?

[Arashi_Leonhart]

Learning Japanese on a series like Mahouka with its walls of text of made-up technical terms. It'd be like trying to learn grammar from music.

Buy it as a set, it's a lot cheaper because AmazonJP charges you per item, and a set of books actually counts as 1 item. The first item is about 1200 yen, everything else is an extra 400 yen. It uses Express DHL, which is faster and cheaper for me than EMS; I generally receive items 2-3 days, unless it's over a weekend, after it's shipped (usually within 24 hours). Though I know some people are picky about their shipping services, so dunno how you feel about DHL, but I've never had problems. Packaging isn't as neat, but none of my stuff as ever been noticeably damaged. Oh and volume 13 came out just last month but there's no set for it in stock, so you'll have to grab it separately:

If you really are planning to purchase them then do it as soon as you can, since once sets run out, they take a while to appear in stock again.

And man, I haven't bought a Mahouka book in a long time because I just started DLing scans to read after like volume 5.

MahoYo and a few books came. All sorts of ready right now.

Holy shit, that was more than two years ago.

[Frostedflakes]

thanks pai!
i started parttime not too long ago so i have some money now (still poor college student but enough to spend some bucks on my hobbies)
lol guess i should say 'sasuga paitouch' for having read mahouka for this long....

[Paitouch]

i took precautions and convinced him to add me on skype!

Well I accepted, but if you wanted to bother me about things you should've done this earlier, because I'm not sure if you're quite getting I'm gonna be gone gone gone gone gone gone the moment I get my iM@S game.

I don't think you understand what I mean by gone gone gone gone gone gone.

If you wanna burn money as incentive, you should probably spend it on actual Japanese learning material. I mean, just a thought.

And you know, you could've asked me this over skype too.

[Frostedflakes]

meh i just think youre joking anyways about disappearing
hmmm i guess buying real learning material would be better....
and yes i probably should have used skype instead im just used to communicating on boards more
sorry

[Rafflesiac]

meh i just think youre joking anyways about disappearing

Your innocence is adorable.

Where do I get some?

[Laith]

No, I'm sure Pai's gonna be gone.

You really don't get the Idol appeal huh?

[Frostedflakes]

back on topic of the anime i wonder where we will go after fighting a terrorist organization
i am expecting more course 1 spotlight (esp mayumi and jumonji) as well as more into tatsuya and miyukis family relations as they obviously seem estranged
also i think tatsuyas father might be the silver taurus person mentioned before (perhaps how tatsuya received his special silver taurus gun)

[Meh]

Why make this thread when you can just use the old Mahouka thread?

[Paitouch]

Because that's the LN thread.

[Meh]

I don 't see people dividing the To Aru and SAO thread into LN and anime. Why this?
