"I don't want anyone but my brother to touch me" - Miyuki
Yes, this is an actual quote. I was able to filter out these parts in the previous season, but this season is making it extra hard. Look, I'm not even against incest on principle, if two consenting adult siblings want to f*** their brains out, it's fine with me as long as they don't have any offspring (who might have increased chances of facing life-long issue). But man... come on...
Phew. Let's get to actually reviewing.
Wait, what? Yes, this season involves a I-promise-these-are-not-really-aliens theme. There was some explanation that actually made some sense (all things considered), only for the show to proceed and add multiple unnecessary and unexplained complications with the only goal being to move the plot ahead.
Okay,…

The visitor arc of Irregular at magic high school is quite alright. It's a sequel so you shouldn't watch it without watching the original anime but if you enjoyed the original you'll like this one as well.
The story is relatively interesting and there is more of a singular storyline than last season. The characters are the same as in the previous season with a few new additions and the artsyle is similar enough as well. The sound is worse than in season one so that's suboptimal.
Overall you'll probably like the anime if you liked the first season and if you didn't like the first season you won't like this one either. If you haven't watched the first season, watch that first.

This is one of those shows that I would like to write my opinion and review on, mostly because I really wanted to like the show and its premise, and I do enjoy seeing Gary Stu-type characters more than Mary Sue-type characters because of one reason: Gary Stus have a goal. And in the first season, one could argue Tatsuya's goal was to make the world a better place by the integration of magic into non-military affairs. In the second season... well, the second season is a drop in terms of quality, music and plot, all of the things that made the first season somewhat decent to me.
Story: It's about a bunch of parasites that somehow made their way over to Japan and were created by an experiment gone awry, as well as a young agent of the USNA's Stars special forces who is completely incapable o…

A disappointment.
The show overall is just a cringy incest power fantasy, but more importantly the characters are some of the worst I've ever seen. It's only gotten worse from season 1, and there's a good reason why season two came out so long after.
The animation quality overall is very high, with any visual shortcuts largely hidden. The story was average at best, but by far the worst thing are the characters. Tatsuya (MC) remains stupidly overpowered and lacking in any emotion. His sister is still just a full "I love my brother" mode.
The most painful part of all of this is none of the characters seem to have two braincells to rub together. (No spoilers) but there are murders on the loose but the MC seems more intent in figuring out the identity and in certain circumstances straight…

Now what can I say about this. It was really mediocre. There is a limit how much op a character can get. I mean he can do everything. He is everywhere. he can see everything. I mean give me a break! will you?
The previous season was very good. I mean aside from the op character there were so much things like school event, mass terrorism, different organization, excitement, spy. In this season there is nothing aside from shameless flirting between brother and sister. Girls fawning over tatsuya. Problems occurs. Tatsuya solves everything. Yeah I mean it. EVERYTHING.
I mean he regrowth a damn tower. Can you imagine how much information that is. Illiterate fools won't get it but some will get it that how shit that scene was. I mean processing information of a spell or a certain area was le…

The anime is technically decent. But the characters personality and traits have been completely changed, so that you can barely recognize them.
I enjoyed the first season mainly because of the huge hype that got built around the main character who always looked powerful and mysterious. The hype was build in a crescendo, in such a way that you were pleased to wait 3 episodes to watch the 2 minutes of him kicking everybody's butt.
In this season though everybody gets to be overpowered for no reason whatsoever. The E class students, who were nothing more than decent, are now on a magician soldier level, and Tatsuya's sister is now on a world-best magician level.
On top of that, Tatsuya does not look that powerful anymore. He was usually doing everything by himself but now he seems to be…

I actually thought this was pretty mundane. The first arc which carries for 11 chapters has no excitement. The opponent is a bunch of squiggly lines (you'll understand when you see it) and is not at all compelling. Also, no answers are given to why they even do what they are doing, and, to be honest, I don't really care. It just wasn't interesting.
The second arc of this season is mumbo jumbo. It lasts for two episodes and is too rushed with a ridiculously convenient event happening that causes some threat. It is hard to explain without giving away the plot, but there is no real threat until this event.
The protagonist's main contribution to the plot is to monologue and explain really obvious things to us. I swear 70% of this season is him just standing around and monologuing. He does no…

Okay... The crap I really don't judge anime by has been rated. Here's the meat: This show can be described as incest at high school with Gary Stu and somehow information vampires are thrown in.
Characters: 1
The first season was bad at this, everybody was bland, but with the coming of a sequel you would think something here improves. But no...
Tatsuya... the usual Gary Stu with a sister complex.
Miyuki... the usual Mary Sue with a big brother complex.
The other characters... the polyamorous support background.
Not a single one has a relatable side story, not a single one shines by themselves. The closest thing to a character that did anything of relatability was the…

Incest at Magic Highschool pt 2.
This time around it was still the same boring bland cast we had before. With the actual reincarnation of god, Tatsuya, and our super human side kick, Miyuki. However, they add a new character this time around called Lina. I personally think Lina is a good addition to the team of side characters, she definitely has more characterization from the rest (probably because there was more of a focus on her). They also added a character called Pixie, which to be completely fair isn't much of a character in her own right. There is probably more to be said about the characters but that is all worth mentioning.
The story has gotten better, to be completely fair, with a much more complex plot and villains than your copy pasted ones you got in season one. However, m…

Lets see. Its been almost 5 years since the last season was released, and I have been fervently waiting for it since then. The last season felt like it had many fans, and as an anime-only watcher, I think this season does not disappoint as a sequel. It is not without it’s faults, but after waiting a long ass time for this season to drop, it’s definitely satisfactory. As the last season really struck me as one of my favorites, expect a slightly longer review on this one lol.
STORY: 8
The story itself is not fantastic, so I can’t give it a 10 or a 9. However, it does do a good job of making out a story with all of it’s basic dramatic arc pieces. It definitely lacks somewhat as in terms of being revolutionary, but thats hardly a fault in itself.

After the 1st season, we're now given a 2nd season , like it took 5 year before studio 8bit decide to make a sequel, so wtf is the fuck about this mediocre thing???
Story:
Pros: The introduction of a new character and a new arc , called "Visitor's arc" , well that's what is said.
Cons: The bottom line is that only little development has been introduce like the coming of a new girl who stay on to track down terrorist/ vampires/ other students of First High School, also there was that confliction plot where the initial target of that organization USNA is suppose to be the so called "God of destruction, but later change to vampire hunting and then, combatting Tatsuya and Miyuki and in the last fight them so called "New Breed Front." In fact the plot itself is basically a wishy washy type.…

This is a "building" season... :) So... A good sequel but the best part is yet to come. It's all high quality like the first season so its a 9/10 to me technically speaking but I must give it an 8 due to it's shortness. The S1 was 26 episodes long, 13 episodes in this case and without a confermed sequel, it's like watching a good looking cake without take a taste, disappointing not just unplesant. This review is short I know but I have nothing more to say so this is just a filler, I don't wont to make a review of the first season so if you watched it and you liked it, this S2 is as good as S1 but it's simply the part 1 so without S3 (or S2 part 2) the feeling is not so satisfing.

This is my very first review after years of using MAL, and I don't really expect people taking the time to read it.
It should start with a disclaimer: I consider myself a fan a Mahouka, I discovered this series 6+ years ago by coincidence, it was my first LN, and it has been a guilty pleasure of mine since then. This review is like a way to close this. However, I'll try to be objective.
Story: 5/10
It is fine if you don't think about it and just take it as it is presented. This series futuristic magical world is interesting as long as you don't mind sitting through the exposition dumps. Some scenes were cut in favor of fan service, but it shouldn't be noticeable unless you have read the source material. It can also be amusing to peel off the veneer of logic that the plot pretends to have…

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen (2020)
Well, what another blast of a season. For some, they may not like this show due to the pacing being somewhat mellow compared to what you would expect but in the case of this show, it works really well.
The story moves onto another arc with more shenanigans and what a ride it was in this spectacular show. I love the way magic is performed as usual. Also, Miyuki continues on strong with her desires for her brother in the most wholesome way. She even acknowledges her issues but like with Yosuga no Sora where you know you love the sister so root her on.
The art style here is very fine and well polished and keeps the same style throughout considering it has other materials. This is great since sometimes a new season is a new take on the art…

Ok I'm not even going to try to justify to myself why I decided to watch this in the first place. Honestly save yourself the hassle of adding this to your PTW list because it is a waste of time and just bad ... like objectively just atrocious.
I remember moderately enjoying the first season since I watched the first season when I had just gotten into anime and when I watched it, I was watching a lot of isekai power fantasy -ish type of anime and this series fit the bill. Retrospectively the whole thing is pretty bad.
Overall it has the plot of a shitty 'win'cest hentai without any of the sex scenes, so you're just sitting there awkwardly looking at two siblings awkwardly oozing sexual tension. Honestly the plot is secondary to this weird wincest dynamic that is going on. This would be a…

Ew.
Honestly, I am surprised that I did not enjoy this. I love power fantasy anime and this is that. I also liked the first season but for reason I did not enjoy this. This did have nice animation, good voice acting and a banger opening but for some reason I did not enjoy at all.
Story: Some ships were bombed by a mystery person who was like one of the main characters. Then Tatsuya did some epic things and fights happened. Then some mystery foe which I don't remember what it was but there was some fighting with them
Characters: Mostly bland. Tatsuya is just your average power fantasy mc so he is cool, different than everyone else and strong as heck. Miyuki is still the same annoying piece of shit she always was with even more Brother complex. She needs to not exist. Angelina was cool th…

If there’s any one anime, any one popular anime in particular, I could say is feasibly written by an AI scrolling the algorithm, it would be The Irregular at Magic High School. Why so?
Because the show does not have a spec of human emotion in it.
Ignorance is the word of the day here folks. It was fairly apparent in the first season of Mahouka, and somehow even moreso here. Every aspect in this season, from the narrative, to the soundtrack, to the characterization, to the tension, to the worldbuilding is divorced from what’s commonly viewed as respectable. It’s not quite as insultingly awful as Season 1, but it does repeat a lot of similar failures, and even amplifies other parts. It saddens me that out of every show in the mostly dead genre of magic high school power fantasies (except p…

Finally, the long anticipated return of one of the best LN franchises of all time to the anime medium. Mahouka does not disappoint at all in its second season and if anything, 8bit have taken the series to new heights.
I’ve spoken for weeks about how Mahouka is clear of any other anime this season. I stand by that statement with this review as well. It was by far my favourite show of the season and if you enjoyed the first season, you will love this. When Mahouka switched from Madhouse to 8bit, I was a bit skeptical about how they would handle adapting the series. The visitor arc is a fan favourite of the series and sets up a lot of important things for the rest of the series. Luckily, 8bit didn’t miss a beat, and even surpassed Madhouse in many respects.
Adaptation wise, I think 8bit we…

There is an uncanny misconception floating around in regards to "overpowered characters" and that according to such existence the whole show is deemed bad from the get-go. Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei also fell into this rabbit hole and apparently even our savior Tatsuya can't do much to stop all the lies from spreading. I didn't mean to, but you leave me no choice - I'm putting an end to this pandemonium.
--------------------------------
After 5 years of agony waiting for a sequel with only a side-story movie put in between, the second season of Mahouka came in all of its glory featuring one of the fan-favorite protagonists in all of anime and a much-loved yet inexplicably controversial show in itself. Back in 2014 when it first aired, some people with dicks in their mouths raised their…
