I'm not sure why he can't, should size really matter? It's called 'armor' because it surrounds him, and he was practically playing around in the 9SC, while the bullets are faster than the rocks, he might still be able to handle it. |

It's a simple barrier magic, while there are magicians specialized in fighting with barriers like Juumonji and Sakura series, barriers can be casted by normal magicians as well, Miyuki made one in volume 13,Mayumi in volume 4 etc. This looks different so I doubt its Interference Armor but Interference Armor also reflects vectors. It's similar to Katsuto's Reflector, which is not Phalanx. Tatsuya said himself that it was supposed to be Juumonji's clan specialty.

Pretty much how I feel although...I thought they did a pretty accurate job with Miyuki lol - how she acts in the anime is well in line with how she acts in the LN. It's just that with her backstory, how she acts becomes a bit more understanding to the audience. Completely agreed with Mayumi...I'm not a Tatsuya x Mayumi fan by any means, but I still felt that Tatsuya's and Mayumi's relationships was one of the most interesting ones in the entire story. In the LN, I felt that underneath the teasing and bantering, there was a subtle war between them with Mayumi constantly trying to figure out more about Tatsuya and Tatsuya trying to push attention away from himself. None of this was shown in the anime. Aside from Mayumi, I think the character they butchered the most was Ono Haruka. I don't know why this annoyed me so much since she's not a major character, but I felt that she went from a public safety officer using common but ineffective tricks on Tatsuya to a complete airhead. lol Quote:
They simply failed to explain the scenes. Like with Azusayumi...the visuals weren't the problem in the least had they added a narration (either via Mayumi or Azusa) to explain how it works or the consequences of such magic while the visuals were going on. With the bullets, none of the people watching the anime know what Tatsuya did. Yes, the anime mentioned Decomposition once before in the 9SC, but it would have been nice if they showed Tatsuya's monologue about how he tried to disguise his magic by making a show of catching the bullets and "chopping" people. |

They really rush to the point that it killed alot of character development/trait.
Most flashy attack is probably Rupture; Leo UsabaKagerou is just a white flash then moment we know everything is cut in half same as Erika Yamatsunami except with a big yellow flash; I dont even understand whats the difference with Nifielheim and Cocytus either way both are frozen to death. Phonon Maser=Laser. Does Erika use personal accelleration magic when using Yamatsunami cuz they didnt show it in the anime and how does that thing pertains to a 10 ton gillutine? "Lost Zero" portrayed it more better than this. They didnt show Suzune's magic I was looking forward to that. EDIT: I almost forgot Yanagi's Thousand Tatami; it would be cool seeing some trash flip like tables. Spoiler for Oh yeah....That rocks:

My imagination beats the visual, sound,and tension aspects of this show by a long mile. I felt like the action scenes were too fast without any reactions or dialogue to really sink in what they are doing. Also, the amount of things they cut...

Agreed, they cut a lot of the reactions that gave gravitas to the events in the LN.
Personally I was very disappointed by: - How they portrayed the Polyhedrion handle in the collapse of the tunnel and the subsequent Tomitsuka's rescue of Chiaki (basically threw that character development/relationship out the window). - How Leo's secret sword tecnique just looks like a transparent broadsword; it should be more like an ultra thin 10m Berserk inspired blade... - They totally skipped the 'guerrillas assault when the choppers arrived' and the reveal of Ichihara speciality/background. - How Regrowth on 'the boyfriends' was basically censored by not even showing what was going on and the lackluster reactions it received by the ones witnessing it... I am hoping that at least they'll go all out with Tatsuya's fights in the last episode, but seeing how halfheartedly this episode was executed, I can't say I'm all that optimistic... |
