Nope, Mizuki is a course 2 student. Don't know about the uniform though, it also doesn't seem consistent in the colour coding of the silk. Perhaps it is customisable and Erika prefers without, which would be kind of befitting her.

We saw Miyuki randomly freezing stuff around her and her dress depics something looking like frozen flowers.

I think Mahouka is popular and getting a lot of discussion here on Anime Suki because...
1. It has an interesting sci-fi setting and it's fleshing it out/developing it pretty well. This alone doesn't come along every day in anime, in my view. 2. The character designs are largely excellent. I love how the female uniform has multiple versions to it. 3. The male lead is well above average. He's very well-written. A story's lead character is kind of like a pro sports team's top player - If you have that much right by having a good core guy/gal to build around, it makes everything else that much better. 4. It's based on a popular source material.

She is a bit of a tomboy and thinks it will get in the way? Going by the comments she made about the kendo club and it is clear she studies sword combat mostly I would say it is because it would be a hindrance in a fight.

I never actually noticed that she didn't have one before. At least, I never consciously made mention of it.

There is an easy solution to this: Erika is that 1%. |

Plus, in four episodes there have been two life-threatening fights and one arena battle (in an arena specifically made for people to duel and use combat magic). Given Erika's priorities, I wouldn't call her normal by any means. So really, it's not that surprising that she opted out of having the cape.

My take is, it's decent, considering it's a LN and has some redeeming qualities and hinted plot to make up for its weak parts. It's not quite up there with the couple of very good LN adaptions, but it's not horrid like SAO either (yet. I say this with caution xD) On why it's popular, well, it has all the ingredients to attract the typical moneymaking audience and it may be able to keep others interested because of its decent plot. Not groundbreaking, but entertaining enough.

Ehh. SAO's first arc was really good in the anime and the novel. The problem is that fairy dance was a terrible arc in both the novel and the anime so adopting that arc would lead to a train wreck no matter how they tried to do it.
At least in Mahouka, the arcs only keep getting better. The plot gets deeper and more complicated. The events that happen are interesting so it should turn out way better than a lot of adaptions depending on how they adopt the second and third arc. If they make up the deficiencies in the first arc, then that will redeem it and it'll be all good |

I'm not sure when this went live, but the English-language web site has an officially subbed version of the first chibi short, What is Magic High School?, hosted by Tatsuya and Miyuki. Presumably all the shorts will eventually be uploaded as well. Web page link

also, for those who don't have a clue about the terminologies that have been mentioned so far (Psion, CAD...etc....), hope this can help: http://mahouka.us/keyword/
