Miyuki feels that this is cowardly, and Tatsuya replies, “Well, criminals and terrorists are cowards to begin with.” I thought he might say something like the terrorists are cowards for attacking innocent civilians and all that, but no. Not only that, the driver had given up his own life in an attempt to hurt the students. Tatsuya explains that magic had been involved in the accident. Takeaki (I think) says, “All this Bloom/Weed nonsense… What is it based on but the results of those entrance exams?” Well shit, I could’ve told you guys that, and I’m not even a Gary Stu. Feed the robot your love.Īw yeah, baby, gimme more! But seriously, there is never a single scene in which Tatsuya isn’t somehow the true hero. You know you want it.Ĭ’mon baby, praise the robot. Mari wonders who it might’ve been, but c’mon. Oh, but don’t forget to praise Tatsuya either! Those silly first years were about to throw their spells willy-nilly, but a special someone had cancelled all their magic sequences. How are you guys not even remotely shaken by this near-death experience? I know Tatsuya is an emotionless robot, but I didn’t know the rest of you guys were this soulless as well. Ichihara used a Deceleration Spell to stop the bus.” Dude, a car almost crashed into the bus and killed you guys. Oh, and let’s not forget to talk about magic sequences: “…I was only able to choose that magic sequence because Ms. ![]() ![]() You’re awesome, Jumanji! And you’re awesome, Miyuki! We’re all just a bunch of strong, independent high schoolers and we don’t need no adult! Yeah, let’s pat ourselves on the back some more. It’s like, “Ho-hum, just another day.” Rather, Mayumi is already handing out the praise. They don’t even seem the slightest bit nonplussed, though. It makes the world seem fake and artificial. But it is nevertheless immersion-breaking. No, I’m not saying that a lack of cars in a single scene makes or breaks the anime. No adults, no cars, no anything but super awesome high schoolers with magical powers! World-building at its finest, folks. I’m sure I mentioned this last week, but I love how the freeway is also practically devoid of vehicles as well. Maybe the story’s creator just has some sort of complex about adults. The only faculty member we’ve even seen is the ridiculously endowed Ono Haruka, and she may as well be a student ’cause she doesn’t seem like much of an adult to me. Hell, these buses are filled with the school’s best and brightest students on their way to a prestigious competition, and yet it’s completely unprotected! For all the ballyhoo about Mahouka‘s supposedly superior world-building, it seems pretty terrible from my vantage point. ![]() Sure, we’ve been told that faculty members are on short supply, but considering how the school has already been targeted by motherfucking terrorists, it’s hilarious that two buses full of students are completely unchaperoned. As I’m watching these students attempt to deal with their current predicament, I can’t help but notice that there isn’t a single adult amongst them. But if you really must read what I have to say about nothing, then go on right ahead. Practically nothing happens in this week’s episode, guys.
