@bones, clarste It's not that they have to take care of her but at least remember that she exists, they made food for eveyone except her knowing what happened to her food, it's more about being at least considerate than just simply being an asshole to someone for no reason, since out of all of them she seems to be the only one with pure intentions. 2 of them are on a conquest spree, the ghost just wants the place to her self and the MC is only fighting for the place because it's a cheap rental, Yurika only wants to defend the place from bad guys who's to say that after acomplishing her mission she wouldn't just go back to where she came from? The others plans are more permanent than hers.

Since the ghost girl was in there without paying rent or being aknowledged as existance at all it is still the guys flat. The Alien's claim is especially stupid, because the landlady herself doesn't own the territory. De facto she could easily win by going to the japanese government saying its an embassy from now on. lol And I agree with bones, there is no way to know their intentions yet (other than the MCs).

MC's claim is valid since he's the one paying rent, and he was the one who rented it from the owner, the landlady, who presumably had title over the land/building. Ghost girl's claim is not valid. Ghosts are not even considered as persons or entities who can own property. Cosplay shoujo doesn't claim the property, she merely wants the occupants to evacuate since she thinks it's about to become a battleground due to other magical girls coming to take over the area. She did get sidetracked trying to make the MC recognize her as a legit magical girl though. Mole girl's claim might also be valid. If she can prove that the site used to belong to her people, and present evidence that they did occupy the area before everyone else, then she could claim title over it. Alien princess' purpose is to claim over the area and make the intelligent life forms there swear loyalty to her. Unless the holy galactic empire or whatever is recognized as a legitimate country, she can't claim the area as an embassy under international law. I might be wrong but I also think it's not possible for a country to just choose which plot of land they would want as an embassy. Also, that doesn't solve her problem of making the occupants swear loyalty to her. All in all, the corona convention legitimized everyone's claim over the room, since the title owner recognized each parties' claim over it. It also only provided that the issue be resolved in a peaceful manner. In effect, any other recourse they might have had with third parties are also waived, since the convention is binding to everyone who signed it. |

Galactic empire, which will probably get accepted if not see next. @choosing embassy location I'm certain plasma cannons with at least frontal shielding appearing from the sky is enough of a persuasion. @Occupants They'd get evicted by the government so there are none at all. Quote:

Hi all, first post and all, but just wanted to say something about this since it looks like not a lot of people have read the novels.
Unfortunately to those who didn't follow the novels, the anime will start off like a generic harem anime.(and truth to be told, it is a harem at core) There are hints for things to come everywhere but it's easily lost if you haven't read the novel. The tone of the novel is easy-going and light-hearted and I think the anime is sticking to that. As someone who liked the novel it's better then expected but not brilliant, and it's probably going to stay that way for at least half a season. It's going to be a rocky ride for the most of us who stick around, and I don't know if the later half will get good enough. |

True, I based that one on ep1 and 2.

I'm guessing it's valid if they're already gone, but passing the test because of that would not be acceptable, since ultimately she failed to make the occupant(s) swear loyalty to her. Quote:
One could argue that they signed the convention under duress, but seeing that the signatories, one of which is intangible, another magical, yet another with advanced technology and one with overpowered alien technology, the landlady isn't much of a threat to them, so the only one who could opt out of the convention is the MC. |

Also being recognised as a country is mostly declaratory. The point with Sealand claiming to be a country is that pretty much no one at all recognises them. The way they declared themself a country was de-facto excluded for the future. Quote:

Actually no. My own rent contract for example has several passages like having to give my landlord a key to the flat that are neither allowed nor valid. The solution is not that the entire contract isn't valid but that the contract itself is deemed valid while said passages count as not stipulated. Quote:
That is if the situation is like: A owns a flat, and the landlord rents it to b while A absent. In that case B would have the stronger position if he is inside the flat already. That assuming B didn't know that it was already rented.

I have only one thing to say to this long running argument.
This problems of first world countries sure is nice. Everyone has a legit claim because if the pact fails it becomes a total battleground. The End. Or don't people watch world news. |

Alright, why does NO ONE see the ghost floating around? I know she acts like the MC seeing her is rare but everyone in the room plus the landlady can see her and they're no more 'qualified' than the MC is since one's not even human, so it makes even less sense that she can see the supernatural ghost. Even if they couldn't see the ghost he was talking out loud so it should have still garnered some stares.
Also, if Yurika really wants to prove she's a magician why doesn't she, I dunno, use her broom to fly like she did earlier? I can understand if the guy's just ripping on her but he seems to genuinely believe she's nothing but a cosplayer despite completely accepting the mole-people, ghost and alien as normal. Lastly, from what I've seen on various comments why do people bitch that the main character's the one paying for the room? The episodes make it clear that apart from Yurika nobody actually lives in the room apart from him. The alien and the mole-girl go back home and the ghost doesn't consume or waste anything by being there so she doesn't count as expenses either. Hell mole-girl's actually pulling her weight given that she cooks and it's better that the food he's buying is cooked by an experience chef over a novice.

They were inside the room when everyone saw her As for talking out loud, people in anime (and most likely RL) talks to themselves all the time... nothing uncommon here MagicGirl... maybe she forgot her broom and such. Also, the MC actually look like he secretly believes her (from ep2 and how he's smirking behind the trees, and the part where GhostGirl talks to MC saying "your cosplay plan is backfiring")... |

The extreme randomness took a backseat for episode 2. It was rather normal compared to the premiere episode. lol The only standout in the episode that's kinda random is the fact that everyone transferred into his class. lol
Poor Yurika, always getting the short end of the stick. Wow, she's really the underdog of the group. Sanae is more or less neutral. Kiriha is the tactician of the group. Very calculating indeed. Thiea is also a tactician, but not at Kiriha's level.

At worst you have to deduce the substitution via letter frequencies, but this one was pretty simple in that many of the symbols roughly match their counterparts ("M" and "I" for example). I guessed "Yes my master" first, saw the s, m and y's matched up and figured I was on the right track. "Infiltration camera" was pretty easy (just LOOK at it, "camera" is obvious). I worked my way from there.
So it's similar to the Aquarion EVOL script, which really was easily readable as english letters if you merely squinted your eyes a bit. The script in Dog Days and Ano Natsu was more difficult. Since it was a substitution code for GERMAN, the script in Madoka Magica was even more crazy difficult than that (I had nothing to do with that effort, my German-fu being nil).
