Just what demographics was mahouka aimed for anyways?
Little sisters.
People of taste.
Christians.
Catching up on the LN and just what exactly is tatsuya's new magic suppose to be? He's copying lina's FAE technique but is calling it close range? Doesn't that make it worse considering heavy metal burst could snipe at ridiculous speeds? What's the rod he attached to the cad for?
FAE is supposed to just weaken the laws of physics so he can meet strong magic requirements or some shit right? How exactly does that work I can't understand these explanations.
>>123221770
Faggots with shit taste.
>>123221770
>Tries to fuck with Tatsuya
>Puts school project at risk
>Gets off scott free
>Becomes encouraged to beat tatsuya in his studies
S-Surely the author won't let him be bested by this little slut right?
Ronery male otakus
>>123223260
he gets higher grades anyway
>>123223413
Seriously?
>>123223452
He could make up tests for everybody in that school and mark them too, and it would be quicker, fairer and better than the current system.
>>123223452
he also gets her to help with his project
The most alpha males, Since it only contained alpha males.
>>123221770
neckbeards otaku, like most anime this days
>>123223504
>>123223514
Will Chiaki suffering ever stop? Will Chiaki ever have her day and 1 up tatsuya?
>>123223524
>alpha male
>gets ass kicked by some chiba twink and his slut
>gets wrecked by 2 girls with tatsuya providing minimal assistance
>Gets broken out of jail only to be taken out again by the same 2 hs girls and 2 hs weeds one of which is another girl and the other a defective german product
Sure is alpha huh.
>>123223653
she'll just hate him by the nostalgia of it
>>123223815
Maybe the hate will convert into love eventually.
>>123224021
Hate is just a special form of love anyway.
>>123222711
He is copying the FAE system but the magic is different, his will be close range magic.
>>123224038
Then it's only a matter of time
>>123224038
She is in a love triangle with Tomitsuka and Eimi.
>>123224215
Yea but what does that mean? Will be get a punch that with heavy metal burst properties? Close range is pretty shit considering you actually have to get close to execute it.
>>123224241
We know she has no way of beating Eimi. She and tomitsuka already have backstory and eimi is already jealous as fuck and isn't a dirty weed. It's impossible.
>>123224269
Tatsuya is a master martial artist. it should not be extreme close range since he uses a bayonet.
>>123224344
Ah but I read that it was shaped like some type of rod and not pointed at all. He also decomposes it. So what exactly is he doing with it?
Is it like material burst where he decomposes matter? Is he just decomposing the rod to gain some kind of elongated energy weapon ?
>>123224308
One thing's sure, she is not going to win the Tatsuyabowl, there are enough much contenders already. Tomitsuka favours her atm and he is stupidly dense.
>>123224458
>there are enough much contenders already
For the record his sister is off the table. That leaves honoka and mayumi one of which is too old and in college. That's it. Not exactly that many contenders and honoka is pretty ehhhh.
>>123224411
Vague memories but he does something like decomposing the blade, it becomes a laser and needs movement magic, he can use Regrowth to recreate the blade and reuse the magic.
>>123224411
from archive
1. Tatsuya uses his right hand for new magic, left hand uses "regrowth"
2. On the right hand CAD there is some blade like object placed under
3. When the new magic is used the blade disappears
4. Then he uses "regrowth" to bring back the blade
5. Using the FAE theory (Visitor Arc) and movement type magic
>>123224700
>>123224733
Ah I figured as much. I guess it just sounded odd to me that he decomposes it into a laser like energy but calls it short range. Lina's shit was fast at the speed of light. What's to stop him from pegging someone with this from long range? I suppose since it's not complete we don't have the answers right now. Thanks
>>123223814
What do you expect of someone who can't make interesting fights even at gunpoint?
>>123221770
The same demographic Sword Art Online is targeted for. Losers who can't cope with life.
>>123224948
Perhaps the same could be said of all anime
Autists who feel out of place in the sea of hikkineets and freeters.
- Low emotion: check
- Care vividly about specific things: check
- Savant-like condensation of skills into a single area: check
- Work within the system, but only if it works with you: check
- Desire to point out other peoples' mistakes and expose social manipulation: check
>>123221770
Why is tatsuya ruffled here?
>>123225003
Not all anime my friend.
>>123221770
lonely otakus that like mary sue type of character
>>123225353
>Not all anime
>posts anime aimed for lonely orakus who only like kawai-ugu characters
>>123225103
Because erika won't refill
>>123225424
You don't get to nearly 70k on the sales of just otaku.
>>123226396
What are you implying?
>>123224269
Iirc the speculah gist for it was that it would allow him to turn something like heavy metal blade/knife whatever into pure energy, use said energy with FAE to bend the rules for said energy and manipulate it better.
Ie it would be a weapon for him to bypass Phalanx just like his aunt can already do with her warped power.
Bullied libertarians.
I wonder, if they are not real siblings, would Tatsuya be inclined to marry Miyuki?
>>123228594
Don't think so. He'll still find her as his sister.
>>123221770
Teenage boys with a power fantasy
>>123228650
Maybe author will introduce a new character as Miyuki's fiancé?
>>123229055
This would be interesting.
>>123224215
but hmb had both a long range and a close range application
SEED fans
>>123228330
Ah. I just assumed fae had to do with light speed laser beams so I expected a bit more instead of some close range limited magic.
Well not like I'm saying breaking through phalanx and contact type GD is something to scoff at but I wanted him to obtain crazy laser bullets at the speed of light. But to be fair he's broken so having him get close is fair enough considering he's eliminating his hard counters.
>>123230560
No, FAE is about manipulating magic phenomenon after the execution.
>>123228594
He wouldn't period since he can't get it up or love anyone sexually.
Honestly I'd like to see it happen. Just to see what he would do since his last emotion is sisterly love.
>>123221770
Adult males from STEM fields with incest fetish.
>>123230680
Yes he is basically creating fully controllable lance shaped material burst.
>>123230680
Ahhh yea I fucked that up. I forgot Lina's heavy metal burst was unique to her and it was only through Brionac and FAE that she managed to control it on a smaller scale.
So now I'm wonder what the heck Tatsuya is using the FAE theory for. He cooked up an entire new magic based around decomposition right? Wouldn't he be able to use MB on a smaller scale using FAE too? Maybe that's what he's doing.
>>123230882
>Wouldn't he be able to use MB on a smaller scale using FAE too
From spoilers, I thought this is what he's trying to do.
>>123228968
Not really, Mahouka LN fans are most likely people with higher education from STEM fields.
>>123230990
Then why is MC such a huge Mary Sue that beat professionals in their own game?
>>123230988
Well reading the most recently translated LN, he sure as fuck didn't explain much. Would have been a lot easier to just straight out say that.
>>123231045
>Then why is MC such a huge Mary Sue that beat professionals in their own game?
Because he's not a stu he literally has a huge advantage over them that borders cheating to be honest. It's like having x ray vision in a poker game. He has elemental sight which allows him to read every fucking thing about magic and program cad software beyond professional capacity. His artificial calculation area gives him the ability to recall any magic at any time without memorizing it. No one else can see what he does so they have to guess when it comes to analyzing and experimenting.
>>123231283
>Not a Stu
>Goes on to define a Stu
I finished watching Mahouka yesterday, It's the most boring anime that I've seen, I slept through half of it.
>>123231367
It's only a stu if there's no explanation for godlike abilities and if they all of a sudden show new abilities to counter everything. It was already established tatsuya was a yotsuba experiment for some kind of crazy powerful magician that they couldn't kill as a baby and his magic was clearly defined with limits.
>>123230680
Not him but in that case what exactly does FAE do? Restrict power?
>>123231045
Everything boils down to MC ability of seeing schematics of reality, it gives him advantage over everyone or everything including professionals from most fields.
>>123231283
It's not just his abilities, it's how he's so in-your-face about it at all times even when he's supposed to hide his identity.
>>123231676
Because his fucking sister leaks his secrets at any chance to show him off. He can't do jack shit because his strongest emotion is his love for her so she can get away with anything.
>>123231584
it's about making use of the brief moment when the laws of physics are weakened after you use magic to cast a more powerful magic
>>123231841
So he says but doesn't lina use it to weaken her magic in a more controllable state?
Conservative, racist, sexist, nationalistic lonely nerds.
>>123224021
>>123223815
>>123223653
She'll become a skilled magic artificer with a good reputation and then she'll start working for FLT. Then after years of hard work and struggles she'll start working for Division 3. When that day comes, she will truly feel that she has surpassed Tatsuya. Then she'll meet Silver Taurus.
>>123231584
Mostly , it enables control of scale and limitations on objects being affected, enabling strategic level phenomena being precisely re-sized to be used at tactical level or personal level.
>>123231956
>Implying tatsuya will live for more than a year after he finishes up his third year
I suppose Chiaki will really have the last laugh in this.
>>123231883
no, that's just her mastery with magic
she wouldn't be able to use that magic without FAE to begin with
>>123231812
He does it himself you nigger. He's constantly inventing new techniques left and right and doesn't give a shit that it pisses off blooms and draws attention to himself.
>>123232150
HE FUCKING TOLD SHIZUKU TO FILE THE NEW MAGIC UNDER HER NAME. MOST OF HIS BIG ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE UNDER THE SILVER ALIAS.
The rest is small minor stuff. He has kept everything he could classified unless he had no choice.
>>123232078
Brionac is a special weapon developed by the USNA to allow for the tactical use of the Strategic-Class Magic, giving Lina the ability to use a focused, small-scale version of Heavy Metal Burst in normal combat situations. Brionac forms a barrier to contain the shock wave released from the transformation of plasma and prevent the plasma from causing extraneous damage to the surroundings such as a populated city. Imitating the spiritual weapon, Brionac, which was said to be a spear of light that could pierce through anything, its operation system is based on the classified FAE (Free After Execution) theory. The theory states that there is a small gap in time between the invocation of magic and manifestation of the effects. Brionac manages to control Lina's magic output by taking advantage of the time gap, which is impossible for a human to use or take advantage of naturally
>>123232378
nevermind that then, i remembered incorrectly
>>123231367
>>123231467
Stu doesn't mean "overpowered" or "overpowered for no reason".
Stu is more about the role of the character than their powerlevel.
Tatsuya is definitely a Stu.
>>123232078
I think she can but like MB, it's too big and uncontrollable for 1v1 combat. Wasn't Brionac using FAE to control her magic? Thinking about it FAE just seems to control how much magic is used meaning Tatsuya is literally using it to either
1. Increase his decomposition power levels to the point where it can shred through phalanx
2. Control the energy output from material burst on a smaller scale.
>>123232285
That just makes him more into a maru-sue. A mary sue doesn't brag, it's just apparent how awesome they are and the world around them adjusts to show it off.
>>123232539
it was an order from his maya though
>>123231908
Sup radfem. Shouldn't you go back to your little MAL circlejerk where you complain about how Miyuki is such a bitch to Mizuki?

There's several definitions for Stu, anyways, Gary stu is made up term created for and by individuals with strong desire to enforce well know and predefined writing formats, everything not fitting their preconceived norms learned from early age are labeled with derogatory words such as 'gary stu' and the like, i.e. close minded people, /a/ also calls them 'normalfaggots' but they also fit into 'casualfags'.

>watching things ironically
>>123232662
You are only proving my point
>>123224948
You're a little kid who doesn't belong on /a/.
It's not that SAO's fanbase are winners, but there are more successful people that watch it than loser otaku shit like,
-K-On
-Sora no Woto
-Madoka
-Yuru Yuri
-Milky Holmes
and so forth. But really, the idea that you'd resort to criticizing an anime's fanbase in order to try to discredit it shows what a little normalfag piece of shit you are.
Get out.
>>123232698
You tell me he shows off and is in your face about it and then you tell me he's a stu for keeping silent.
What do you want from me?
>>123226396
see >>123232724
Then slit your wrists.
>>123232635
It has a lot of techno babble, the MC is ridiculously powerful, and characters tend to underact, rather than over-act their emotions, if those don't seem too bad to you you'll enjoy it, if they do you wont.

>>123232667
The point of Mary Sues has always been self insertion for the author. It's a power fantasy (or a fantasy of romantic/sexual success). The overpoweredness is just a means to an end. The end being that the character is an enjoyable ride for the author.

SAO fanbase is composed of children, literally.
>>123221770
Did they really have any specific ones? Mahouka seemed like they just fired into the dark and whatever got hit was their demographic. It has just about every trope possible.
>>123232650
It's not just about powers or being the strongest one. You could write up something similar with Son Goku.
But I am not disagreeing. I already said he's a Gary Stu.

He's right though. Doing things "ironically" is a terrible meme that shouldn't be supported.
>>123221770
People with great taste
>>123232820
>self insertion
Most fantasy titles boils down to self insertion, the problem is that normalfags cant self insert into characters too different from themselves.
>>123233021
You're leaving out all fine details and making it look bad.
>>123233044
It's not about difference. It's about flaws. A beta male MC is basically an attempt at an anti-Sue in that he does not (overtly) possess any real strengths but plenty of weaknesses. Yet as the story progresses you realize that it's just a facade and that he's just as much the center of the universe as a straight Mary Sue. The "flaws" don't play much into the story either.
>>123233128
Even though he did, that was a pretty awkward attempt at reinforcing Tat's stu-ness.
What can happen if Maya turns out to be the mother?
What can go wrong?
>>123233506
You mean what could go right? Having maya as a mom would be pretty sweet
>>123233533
That is assuming he gets any of the benefits of being the son of a clan head.
>>123233506
>wrong
It wouldn't be wrong, but right.
She's nice to Tats.
>>123233506
Tatsuya is likely to be accepted as true Yotsuba, the author also said he will never write about an conflict between Maya and Tatsuya, you can even take it as another hint.
>>123233643
>maya making her butler talk to tatsuya while she listened in right next to him since she was too afraid to do it herself
Pathetic.
>>123233506
Nothing, she already plans to give control over Hliðskjálf to him.
>>123233593
She already convinced the whole clan to give Tatsuya some unspecified position inside the clan.
>>123233711
It's moe.
>>123233744
I keep getting mixed signals on that final chapter. Some say the branch head evaluations were positive, others say that they begrudgingly accepted Tatsuya.
>>123233506
Time for mother complex after loads of sister complex
>>123233718
>tries to overtake Hliðskjálf
>Hliðskjálf instead assumes direct control of tatsuya
>Uses tatsuya as an avatar to wreak havoc while supplying him with a constant stream of intel
>everyone has to band together to kill him
Would be a decent end.
>>123233711
Imo that's cute, not pathetic.
>>123233804
>begrudgingly
Actually it was overly positive, they recognized their bigoted views about Tatsuya and accepted his potential to fill the role mostly due his leadership skills.
>>123233824
Dude, it's a fucking backdoor program, literally a Trojan horse. Not Skynet.
>>123233711
She wasn't afraid, she was just having her fun. Being coped up in the fourth lab and the Yotsuba estate all the time does shit to your head.
>>123233952
Two of them did, the rest were still not convinced.
>>123221770
>>123221770
Anyone who is sick of SJW bullshit.
Seriously, why do you think so many SJW anime bloggers are so buttblasted about this show? It's because ONE SHOW had the nerve to call out their shitty, incorrect pseudophilosophy for the complete bullshit that it is.
>>123233995
Not really, everyone had positive evaluations of Tatsuya except Mitsugu who avoided giving his evaluation due his failure into fulfilling the mission that Tatsuya completed instead.
Why doesn't tatsuya just marry ayako? He gets to keep in the family and at the same time not have to deal with outsiders.
>>123234190
Because the nights would be awkward with Miyuki having to sit beside the bed.
>>123234072
Thank Tatsuya for that.
>>123229055
I hope he'll have some goods points other than a mistress and high psion count.
>>123233128
>making it look bad.
No, that what the author did.
Rumors abound of a vol 5 beach trip OVA. Take it with a grain of salt, the ones saying this shit are the chinks.
>>123234534
That would be great
>>123229055
>>123229120
>>123234477
If Miyuki asked Tats to do something about it, would he?
Who's this guy?
>>123234534
With Vol.10 comes:
>原作者：佐島 勤書き下ろし小説「魔法科高校の劣等生 夏の休日（アニメバージョン）＜下＞」
GT:
>Authorship: Sajima Tsutomu newly written novel "magic School high school dunce summer holiday (anime version) <under>"
>>123234721
I think no. He knows that decision about marriage shouldn't be cancelled because e.g political reasons.
Miyuki also knows that she has no choice, but she's immature. She probably will ask Tats to do something, but selection of her fiancé isn't an easy thing and she has nothing to say in this matter.
>>123235113
>newly written
So umi da v2? Damn, I was hoping for an adaption.
>>123235126
>but selection of her fiancé isn't an easy thing
I don't think so, I mean, look at the guy they picked for Miya, their father.
poor man's SAO
>>123235224
I think it's a bit hard to find a magician with a such high count like Tatsurou.
Miyuki is a great magician, so if Yotsubas want promising offsprings, then it's better to find her a very good husband.
>>123235693
What about IPS?
>>123235693
They can't go wrong with Fumiya.
>>123235693
Count is not important anymore
>>123236633
For now...
>>123235693
They already have the high psion count down, they don't need another high psion dud. They need someone with unique abilities that benefit the yotsuba bloodlines.
>>123235693
The boys in the mahoukaverse other than tatsuya are shit for Yotsuba breeding. Only girls get good abilities. In fact mikihiko doesn't deserve mizuki she's perfect for tatsuya for her venue ability. Well her or Ayako/honoka who have that stealth shot
