Right after Miyuki froze her opponents her expression show she got too angry and went too far. She's not a solider and the thought that she had actually killed them in her anger clearly distressed her and she felt guilty. Towards the end of the episode she was clearly relieved when Tatsuya confirmed her victims survived.
As far as I can tell Miyuki doesn't have good emotional control and that sometimes inhibits her magic control. Though this time she just went to far because she got pissed that random terrorist #7 tried to shank her brother in the back with a knife. Not that Tatsuya would of had any trouble defending himself. |

In any case, these kids need a better counselor (Moeboobs-sensei is worthless if she keeps being submissive with students as she is with Tatsuya) if at least two of them can so easily work themselves into a killing rage (and that all the students at the terrorist compound could relatively unfazed stand there after they had potentially killed people). |

- We find terrorists weapon caches once in a while. Do you know where? People's houses. In fact, people going in and out of "abandoned warehouses" is suspicious. Unless maybe they're hobos, but those guys didn't look like hobos, did they? Quote:
Plus, if someone had been there, Tatsuya would have warned them. Quote:

A lot of people don't have good control of their emotions. That doesn't mean it's a normal reaction to kill a bunch of dudes that are no threat whatsoever. Unless you're Yuuno Gasai's long lost sister. It's another case of the show being over the top ridiculous, trying to prove some imaginary coolness factor and/or failing to portray Miyuki and Tatsuya in any likeable or believable manner.

If you need backstory, then this show/story probably isn't for you, given how it seems to be taking its time revealing all of it. As for 'likeable', that's probably a matter of taste. I personally quite like Tatsuya's sense of humour, e.g. How he double-teamed with Erika to troll Kirihara in this episode. YMMV, and that's completely fine. But if you are finding nothing to like in this series, then why keep torturing yourself? Quote:
Also, realisations like "OMG I killed someone" might only sink in when the person has had time to reflect on it. It might be similar to a hit-and-run: one's first reaction might be to keep going, to keep doing whatever action one was doing before. So, consider the situation: there are enemies around - you've taken out one of them, and the others might have similar weapons (magicians can still be hurt by normal weapons, after all). Would you stop to think about what you just did/the situation, or would you deal with what's in front of you first? Miyuki has been consistently shown to do the latter (Ep 6 and here), so at the very least, it's not inconsistent with her character.

This is was a decent episode. They added some questionable scenes, and added some good ones too. They also removed some lines that I felt was really overplaying the scenes, so that was good too. All in all, decent wrap up episode, with some hints of Tatsuya and Miyuki's power.
I liked that they showed Kirihara and Katsuto doing some fighting from the back, where in the LN they just appeared out of nowhere, and Kirihara smacks the leader. Only thing that was weird to me was them showing Miyuki distressed at freezing the guy(s) that threw a knife @ Tatsuya. No idea if they're trying to make her seem more moe and delicate, but that didn't happen. Despite a few people here that seem to be focused on it, Miyuki doesn't give a crap about anyone that has malice towards her brother. If they all fell and cracked into a bunch of ice cubes, she wouldn't care. I laughed at the last scene with Tatsuya just going "better get to class, don't want to end up taking make-up lessons on the weekends" Such a stock lines to finish the episode or an arc lol.

Yea, I agree about the opposition this arc.
The terrorist were all bad @ being terrorist. That's what they were, they're small fry. Barely above thug gangster levels. I don't necessary see it as bad writing. They were in over their head, and bit the wrong tail. That's it. Hopefully after this, they seek a career change. I doubt the terrorist healthcare plan covers severe frostbite.

I can't say I'm in full agreement concerning the execution of some scenes (Tatsuya simply strolling through them was strange to see, could have been better done in complement with the shock / surprise of the terrorists seeing their "leader" abandon them). Also, the lack of explanations may cause some viewers to get utterly confused at what's going on. Like the antinite not working on Tatsuya.
Aside from that, Erika was just hilarious in the second part of the episode. That voice rolling around while trolling Mibu and Kirihaya was just great. Now I hope we'll start getting towards more serious things with the next arc. The PV posted in the general thread already looked pretty nice. Masaki seems to some serious opposition, as opposed to the small fry of the introductory arc.

for first arc, this is quite good beginning
I'm okay with it... the only thing I still don't understand is Tatsuya's power... He is like a walking robot... with good radar and ability to shoot waves.. but how could he break those guns? psychokinetic stuff? Miyuki showed that she is the only one who could walk together in par with Tatsuya.. that Niflheim magic is awesome Mibu is moe though... I want her to be a good contender for Miyuki but unfortunately that brute guy already claimed her I also shocked because I don't expect a highschool student would cut someone's hand... wow! anyway.... this Suzaku-wanna-be looks cocky and arrogant... let's see his performance in next arc |

The LNs delivered the explanation for that in the arc, but for time and content reasons the anime obviously cut down on infodumps. Essentially it is connected to his personal magic (personal magic meaning like Leo's ability to create an armour using magic).

Tatsuya god power and his smart brain also irritates me. Read the LN up to volume 13 and I became more dislike him. But I don't really care about that tatsuya is not my favourite chara . Luckily his enemy will be smarter later. He has power but power alone can't always save the day because more and more complex issue.

finally, next week we get to the good part. i'm not a fan of how they're underplaying so much stuff. but i suppose its what they have to do, because a long explanation of how Tatsuya does what he does and what Miyuki is capable of wouldn't quite fit into the anime. the anime's job is to get people to get the novel. it got me to read all the volumes out so far, so i guess its doing its job.

Secondly, I do not see why the terrorist would bother putting up patrols. Firstly, it would make it too obvious that something is up. Secondly, there are less obtrusive means of surveillance such as cameras. Finally, Miyuki cannot AOE without line of sight. Nor is she inclined to exercise her powers unless she must. Finally, she likes showing Tatsuya's powers off. |
