Ah I kinda missed this series. I missed the colorful cast and the world lore of this series, and also incestuous but not-really that incestuous relationship of Tatsuya and Miyuki, if you're not an anime-only you know what I mean
Anyway, looking forward to more of this!

Good start to the season; it's the calm before the storm, and all the new characters introduced seemed like a colorful bunch. I think Minami ships Mayumi and Tatsuya, to Miyuki's disappointment and earning mixed feelings from Mayumi's younger twin sibs lol

one thing I will say is that there are definitely scenes that got better treatment and more time spent than others.

i can't believe im still watching this series after 10 years lol... i can't say i liked most of what i watched but i was mostly trying to remember all the characters and what happened since it's somehow been 4 years already since the last one

years ago i would've said i hate Tatsuya for being a god op character but now a days those are a dime a dozen and it's kinda nice seeing one like him that's pretty chill collected and respectful.


lets see how long i can last with this being on a friday i might have more or less important things to watch once the season is fully out

S3 EP1

So yeah. mahouka. what do i even say
For starters, its been 10 years since s1 aired in 2014.
In the mean time since we've had the anime original movie, visitor arc, even the spinoff, and the ova.
I actually was planning on watching the ova but eh whatever. shrug. me: its not important
Aside from that so. its a strange case because for once, i'm the light novel reader
Except that its been so long i barely remember anything that happened in this arc

So in this arc. it's now year 2, meaning the "3rd years" mayumi and co have graduated, tatsuya and co are now 2nd years, and we have a new batch of first years, the twins. also the rest of the first years, double seven arc, etc.
I legitimately dont remember what happens in this arc, but uh.
S1 adapted 6 novels in 24 eps, but this season is only 12 eps. visistor arc was also 3 vols but it was weird. and lina isnt here anymore.
At least shizuku is back but still

So yeah with that rambling out of the way uh. i'll be honest, mahouka s1, despite it being 24 eps i barely remember what happened in it. and the visistor arc was one big woosh, so Honestly I'm not even sure why I'm still here. oh well.
Mahouka has always been a weird one, where i cant say that i like it but there's like something weird about it



Anyway so yeah that was literally the whole first ep, a ton of talking. just talking
And basically introducing our new first years, even if most of them had very little lines

The funny thing is minami is not in the ending shot of the op

All things considered, if I'm being honestly a really mediocre first episode

So uhm. off the top of my head i dont think i can say who minami is. i can guess but uhh
Kasumi i believe should be kitamura eri, but i've already seen her before
Izumi though im not sure
The other two i mean uh.

Minami is kiyono yasuno. which makes sense I guess but I cant say I'm really familiar with her.
UHM. Izumi is yuki aoi apparently. Which is like, one of the rare times I did not instantly recognize her. What can I say

I've been waiting so long for this series to come back, with the spinoff and whatnot coming first, and I'm so glad it's finally here. Rewatching the end of season 2, I see that they completely changed the meeting between the Saegusa twins and Tatsuya, as well as when Minami started living the Shiba siblings. Not that I'm complaining at all, just pointing out the bit of trivia. Maybe even the animators forgot how it was left off because it's been so long, lol.

The Saegusa twins were funny. I like how it nearly became a Maria-sama ga Miteru scenario.

Shippo sounds like he's calling himself a tail when he puts so much emphasis on saying his name. Looks like he's going to be a jackass pissant.

Looking forward to next week~

I'm glad the animation quality hasn't gone downhill, and the characters still look like they should.

One of the Saegusa twins being "into" his sister was the cherry on top of the cake this episode.

After a whopping 10 years since the first season, we're back for more of Tsutomu Sato's Mahouka, a.k.a the OG brother-sister love complex anime, or, in other words, incest.

After a tumultuous year, the lives of siblings Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba began to evolve as they entered their second year as students. Sharing their living space with Minami Sakurai, dispatched to them by the Yotsuba Family, the dynamics shifted. Tatsuya found himself enrolled in the newly established Department of Magical Engineering. Despite his hopes for a tranquil school life alongside Miyuki, the world had other plans. With his new academic schedule and role as acting student council Vice President, Tatsuya hoped for peace this year, yet fate had different intentions. The arrival of three disruptive students from esteemed Numbered families shattered any illusions of calm, setting the stage for another chapter of chaos and upheaval.

I can't believe I'm living in a timeline where not only is Aniplex bringing back Kuroshitsuji, but also, out of everything in their catalog, Mahouka... lol. Not a great move though, 'cause the super strong undercover genre is overdone. For all the new-gens, Gojo is basically your Tatsuya, but instead of Gojo wanting Geto, Tatsuya wants his sister. But at the same time, you need that trashy power fantasy show that also has other aspects to it, cough incest cough. On another note, the animation is looking crisp as fuck. Ten years weren't wasted for nothing. Speaking of ten years, it only took us ten years and three seasons for Tatsuya and the gang to finally become second years, and it looks like we're going into another one of those tournament things from season 1 (which, by the way, in my opinion, was the only good part of season 1). Hopefully, we do see another tournament arc because, not gonna lie, Tatsuya was kind of a badass during it. This first episode was solid, though the first interactions between the Saegusa twins and Tatsuya had a bit of a slow pace. But yeah, it's nice to see the gang again after so long.

A damn good start, to say the least, and as if season 2 wasn't already rushed with just one arc. Now, this season has to cover THREE arcs in only 13 episodes. The pacing is going to suck, isn't it?
@IzanaSolos I'm so happy for the show except the incest part.
I hope the kill that part, cuz that sister incest shit is pretty annoying from season 1, hope the dude is under a spell that he'd break out of.

I can't help but think about how the first season debuted exactly 10 years ago. Either way, I'm happy to see the return of Tatsuya and Miyuki for the third season of Mahouka. =)

While the episode didn't hesitate in getting straight to the point with the new character and new school year, it still offered a nice portion of funny moments, mainly the Saegusa twins, where one of them simps hard for Miyuki, while the other tried, and failed, to hurt Tatsuya because of how close he got to Mayumi, who didn't waste time in reprimanding her younger sisters for their behaviour.

As for the production values, going by those who've mentioned it here, it's either very praiseworthy or criticised harshly. For me, I think it looks pretty solid upon first episode impression, with the boat scene showcasing some nice fluid action animation that looked very impressive. Hopefully we'll have more of that in store this season.

Also, LiSA is back in doing the OP song, just like she did with the first season, Rising Hope. Her new song here has similarities to her other song before going into a satisfying and powerful melody. I think it's pretty good overall.

This is pretty good compared to others recent adaptation. I'm hooked and no fast forward whatsoever. [+0]
No shitty CGI or if any barely noticeable. [+0]
The ED is pretty good with the vibe. [+0]
The content form previous season's episode is very neat, condense but not too complicated nor neglected. [+0]
Mayumi is so damned cute. [+1]

Overall I gave it a 9 but my scepticism over shitty CGI/ Animation [mostly] of them over 2 years prior, I only give this only an 8.

Tatsuya is still OP, and STILL trying to hide that. Anyone naive enough to think that he isn't powerful better do their research. Set-up episode with the new kids front and center. I dropped the second season of this, and am back for the third. Let's see if this gets better.

Confused how people are saying no CG or Barely Noticable CG...all the background characters are CG (its actually pretty impressive how far theyve come, there was a making of video years ago as well), the overlay effects of the CAD are CG, they even have a credits just for them.

Anyway.

Ive waited years for Shippou Takuma to be animated and that introduction scene was amazing. Tatsumaru Tachibana gave him a great voice too (deserves another lead voice role someday).Always love the *miyuki glare*, ice cold. And Fumiya Kuroba finally here too, Ive been waiting to see him for so long, omg. Really great start.

Eimi faces so funny cute with new Hagane introduced.
Shippou got fancy hair.
Mayumi fits with the OL style, lol the twins and Minami escalated that. interesting pov shots.
Kuroba twins on another missionFumiya got fast moves with nice animation.

I somehow remember S1 clearly but nothing from S2 lol.

Saegusas and Tatsuyas moments together are always the best, they tease each other so well.

I forgot how much of a love triangle incest angst drama this is, well I definitely did not forget about the incest, but still how do you even begin to describe what happened here?
"Please marry the brother of the girl I like so I can legally call her big sister"

Somehow its crazy to think we still get Mahouka in 2024, but I certainly wont complain!

It’s so funny how we’re at season 3 and there are still people who complains about the incest-like relationship of Miyuki and Tatsuya when the series is centered around it this WHOLE time. At this point why bother watching if you’re gonna dislike the one large thing that this show is known for *sigh* Know that this anime is based on a light novel and the brother-sister relationship won’t go away just because you want Tatsuya to end up with anyone else


On a side note, I’m glad this anime is back since Godsuya and Miyuki are one of the absolute best OP pairing!
