Whenever the show tries to make me feel like Tatsuya is inconvenienced, it ends up flipping around and making me feel like I should be on the side of the people against Tatsuya. It's purely lipservice though that has no practical limitations on his capability to do literally anything. Yet the show likes to pretend he genuinely has factors against him. Any problem presented to Tatsuya can be solved with no issue. When your main character is as perfect as this, there is no tension. But he is not very good at pushing a square inch block across a floor so clearly he's a flawed character. He can detonate the power equivalent of an atomic bomb over anywhere in the world. He can take down an entire platoon of terrorists by himself. He creates the power of flight on a whim. He solves magical problems that the rest of the world have been struggling with for years.
In his spare time he's the world's greatest engineer, fronting as the mysterious Silver creating the best magical equipment in the world.
He's baffling intelligent to the point that he can calculate mind-bogglingly complex magical problems in milliseconds. He is a master magician who can cancel out other magicians magic. This is the only thing he is bad at in the world of magic. He's there because he is bad at pushing a square inch wooden block across a floor with his mind. Tatsuya Shiba is a highly talented magician who has been placed in the crappy kids class. The first point it fails at, and the main point that drags down the entire show, is the main character. I can find nothing to recommend about Mahouka. bad, but there was this one thing about the show that was enjoyable". Something that at the end of the day I could say "sure it was mostly If I could keep watching I might be able to find something good about this anime. At another point it was purely to see if I could finish it as a personal challenge. It might have been because people said it gets better in the novels later and I wondered at what stage that would be. At some point it was a scholarly interest in why this was the latest hottest thing in light novels. Definitely worth watching.I'm not entirely sure why I watched all of Mahouka. It never gets heavy and one is left with an interesting show that moves along nicely with lots of action and creative sci-fi concepts, which is unusual for a story with magic in it.
#The irregular at magic high school movie eng dub release series#
The second half of the series is spent with the good guy magicians fighting off bad guy other people, although we're never quite sure why the bad guy people are that committed to wiping out the magicians - probably just because they're magicians! The leads to lots of action, fighting, & battle scenes that are entertaining and fairly well done. Could it work into something more, possibly, but it never happens in the series, and we're left with two siblings who care deeply for each other. He and his beautiful younger sister, Miyuki, who is also a powerful magician, have a very close relationship, which doesn't quite ever descend into inappropriateness, but the sister does always show her powerful feelings for her brother. He is a pretty cool character in every sense of the word: powerful, unflappable, dependable. The first part of the series dwells on integrating the irregular, Tatsuya, who is the major character, into the high school. The Irregular at Magic High School is an interesting display of very creative high tech magic, which is to say, magic which is brought into the science fiction realm and treated as if it had rules and formulae and can be modified by skilled technicians, which they call "magic engineers." A lot of the series time is spent delving into the mechanics of augmenting the magic, but then it is Magic High School, and the rest of the time is spent displaying the magic at work.
