I just found Miyuki repeating that Shizuka and Honoka were her brother's friends 3 times, in the exact same tone of voice, to be quite amusing. Despite her tone never changing, somehow the third repitition made it some off borderline yandere-esque. Sort of "I won't believe any conclusion that suggests they could be anything other than friends to my beloved onii-sama."
Yes, it's just Miyuki being Miyuki, but it still seemed amusing to me at that point. It's the little things that make a show work, sometimes. In other news, I'd like to keep the redhead. What's her name... Eimi? She's cute. And her hair is gorgeous.

Yeah, at this point in time, I think Madhouse is doing an adequate job of trying to get Tatsuya's character across. And honestly I think he's definitely better than most characters of his type. And the hints of dark past keep his character at least interesting, which is more than I can say for most OP characters. Meanwhile his sense of humor is actually pretty good. And his reaction to seeing Erika, Mizuki and Leo near the front was pretty amusing. I don't get the sense that his character is a bore either.
But damn, those cliffhangers. Now I'm curious as why trying to stop the burning car is a bad idea. |

I'm relatively new to the series, having just gotten caught up with the anime this week (partly due to learning about the Vita game), and I haven't looked at any of the LN material.
But so far, the impression I get is that, whatever happened to Tatsuya and Miyuki, she seems to have ended up with more than her fair share of emotional capacity, in contrast to his own weakness in that area. As in, had both siblings with born with a 1.0 quota, something in their past shifted the balance to .3 or so in his case, and to 1.7 in hers. (Perhaps that might explain how intense her feelings towards him are?)

fun episode. all those little in-jokes that novel readers understand due to their more fleshed out understanding of why tatsuya works the way he does made this episode enjoyable.
also, gotta love increase Shizuka and Honoka screen time.

The butler, who is supposedly very intelligent for the position he is in, does not seem very intelligent to be pissing whom he perceives to be the next head of the family and his future boss. It won't be surprising to see him drowned and frozen in a frozen lake in the middle of the desert. Tatsuya and Miyuki have been hinted to kill others before, so it's not beneath to off an "enemy". Plus, considering that they are part of the 10 elite families, they can easily sweep this under the rug.
There were many things in this episode with bits and pieces of information. It will require a second viewing to digest it all. My guess is either Miyuki will cast an ice wall or Tatsuya will swoop in front, dispell all cast magic, and cast a forced push off spell.

Yes the butler Aoki did not see Miyuki's Yandere trait coming because he thinks he is doing the right thing.
Even so, he should have held back and keep those "disrespectful" comments to himself, it is just not worth his "enjoyment", it will just get himself a headache. So then when Tatsuya said to Mizuki in eariler episodes that she has good eyes was actually meant something incredible. Tatsuya say the same thing about Mizuki's eyes again because it is just too good. All Tatsuya says to Mayumi is in a stress when she tried hard to appeal him, this is just too good. Hattori's reaction to Mayumi's apperance is what she really wanted from Tatsuya. And Morisaki Shun you are there? I did not notice. Last edited by rladls2121; 2014-05-31 at 20:45. |

Well it looks like we still have some viewers who can critically analyze the episode.
Anyhow, the reason the butler can be so disparaging towards Tats and respectful towards Miyuki is because of their statuses in the family. As noted several times already, Miyuki is a potential candidate while Tats is a mere bodyguard, which is roughly the same level if not lower than the butler. Even when we take a step aside and wonder why Tats is getting disrespected like this despite his talents, it does bring into question what the Yotsuba value since there are a lot of areas where Tats check the mark. |

I'll probably gonna drop Mahouka eventually. You guys would probably say "good riddance", but the series isn't my cup of tea either. Just a tip from the LN fans: don't think that "read the LNs" is always a good answer to anyone who is an anime-only viewer. It's clearly moving goalposts when the real issue lies with the problems with the anime.

Thanks for the corrections! I was writing that on my phone and it auto-corrected everything to Miyuki.
I forgot to add that Miyuki is supposedly the leading candidate to succeed the Yotsuba family, which means there are a few other possible candidates as well. Will we ever get to meet them? Who knows... However, I'm guessing that they are quite powerful as well, to be considered as candidates to succeed the Yotsuba.

And if it's a plot criticism, then one may voice their disappointment each arc if every new arc doesn't meet their expectations. "omg is it going to be another rescue arc ???" "omg is a major character going to die every arc ????" "is the MC going to win every arc ???" "are the bad guys going to be a joke all the way til the end ????" Well, ok I guess that's still pretty grueling if someone really does it after every arc ... Last edited by maplehurry; 2014-05-31 at 22:11. |
