Yes that was his self repair ability they probably just figured that by now viewers should know that Tatsuya can regenerate so they didn't animate it as usual.

I'd guess so, yeah. :)

It's me or Erika also has ponytail at ED song now?:eyebrow:

Yep yep bruh.

Disappointed that they skip the election. Wanted to see that.

Ungh, the show has really bland - and in some parts bad - animation. Once again I wonder if they have budget problems, or whether Madhouse sucks at allocation and execution. At least Miyuki looked great this episode in still frames. And a thumbs up for Erika with ponytail!

In other matters, I start to get why in some circles Mahouka was criticised for a supposed nationalistic tone. Not that I agree, but it is somewhat curious how all of the external enemies up till now come or are supported by that big landmass to the west of Japan. :heh:

As for that episode, the interesting part was again the world building, the introduction of relics and magic sequence storage and why this is important. In this regard Mahouka is doing a good job trying to flesh out how magic works instead of putting it there and saying 'because it is so'.

Mahouka has a strong nationalistic tone but it is intended.

Those 2 Inspectors in the beginning, wonder if we will see them again. The guy with the wooden sword's cool. :heh:

Is he someone's big bro?

His name was given as "Inspector Chiba". Along with his swordstyle it should be pretty obvious whose bro he is. :p

Well, he could be that person's uncle or cousin.

And this scene is better because Tatsuya played along with it.

Right thread this time.

no I got it wrong again lol. This was meant for episode 20. what's wrong with me. I'm aweful spacey today

Looks like this arc has started off well. Awesome fighting scene, Tatsuya never ceases to amaze me :heh: Miyuki being all lovey dovey was amusing as well.

Now that you mention it, didn't he appear during the Nine Schools Competition? Didn't recognize him in this episode though.

Mahouka basically gets better the further along the series it gets. Just look at how this arc is progressing compared to the previous arcs.

I don't remember any cameos by him in the competition...

Nope, that was Erika's brother, but not the same person as the inspector.

this one is Erika's eldest brother the one that is dating Mari is Erika's second eldest brother
