Actualy it's not truth, First High School is most elite and students from here almost always get into most elite magic university. (I currently attempting read novels and finaly finished prologue! I am realy proud on myself. Well, now will come hard part with Gary Stue protagonist...)
At least another forum I attend also see Mahouka with same despect (even NL readers), so don't worry I will not ventile so much here and provoke pages long conflicts anymore. |

Also keep in mind that the size of the grades (200 people) are very small I went to school in a rather small suburban school district and my class was only about 125 people you pretty much have to be an elite just to make the cut even to be a course 2 student so part of issue with the discrimination is brought on by the massive competitive nature needed to even get into the school so many of the course 1 students have the stereotypical High school Jock mindset that has been reinforced by many "traditions" which is driving the gaps wider (the VP using a banned term for course 2 students to the head of the discipline committee)

Yea, I don't find it surprising that students would still chose to attend even though they are treated less favourably. There is precedent in the real world for that somewhere. External students for example, or even international students who have to pay higher fees to get in. Why? To get the name of the school on your diploma.
Enjoyed this episode more than the first, though I can't pinpoint why. The lack of a constant stream of "oniisama" helped. Starting to warm up to Miyuki and some other cast members. Still on the fence about Tatsuya. His personality is fine, it's the pseudo-weaknesses that concern me.

The show has stressed the no-teaching several times, so it's bound to have consequences. And for me it's high time they fill us in. |

In any case, magicians are rare and magic teachers are scarce. I knew this was going to happen. It's even better than I thought. |

If I'm in that world, I would not go to magic school and go to ordinary school.
Of course it will might not make a difference though. Even so, it is really unbearable for the Course 2 students keep attending that school. But then really, do they have a choice? It is for their future, some people think. However not so bright future for every student. It reminds me this is something that this is unwanted in every way. It is all about value. Tatsuya seems to be accepting this, and Miyuki seems to be complaining. |

No one likes to be unilaterally looked down upon. To be treated condescendingly by your peers when they may know next to nothing about you personally as well. The course 2 student's uniforms themselves announce to anyone who so much as glances at them that they're supposedly too incompetent to be of true value. That kind of treatment day in and day out is hard to live with for most people.

Like I said, looks like 4 episodes per volume so 8 episodes per arc. Three arcs would equal 24 episodes, leaving 2 for side stories. So no past arc.

Although there are a lot of aspects of Mahouka that are really interesting, I must say this:
I've seen a lot of people call out Mary Sue and Gary Sue in my time on Asuki. Never have I seen an anime that so clearly contained this though. If the MC of Mahouka becomes any more Gary Sue, I'm worried that the author in all his powerful glory will pop right out of my computer screen and start silently judging me. Actually I was a bit shocked by this episode. I knew the fight would be terribly short based on what I've heard, but that was... That was a bit too short.

I think any futuristic genre and especially one as flesh out as this type.... Take any current moral standards and throw them out the window.
Seriously its like some people its their first sci-fi. But I guess its bound to happen. With any adaptations world building is really hard to animate, especially polical stuff. |
