LIGHT NOVELS ARE GARBAGE Mahouka (short version of the title) was the next in line to lớn be considered the best LN ever made, claims made by the same type of fans who two years ago were saying the exact same things for Sword Art Online (SAO for short). Và once again it is proven how the anime fandom refuses lớn accept light novels as the garbage they are, and on đứng đầu of that keeps hyping them as masterpieces. TROLL PREMISE The first failure comes from the premise itself, which keeps telling you it’s about discrimination. For a society that runs on meritocracy, all mages are rare và gifted. There is little reason for the Weeds to feel bad, if they have powers that place them above every other mundane person. And even the most gifted of them, the Blooms, are acting like they are constantly threatened by the Weeds, as if their position can be snatched away if the errant boys try really hard và surpass them. If they really are superior, they shouldn’t feel threatened. And if hard work can indeed make Weeds surpass Blooms, then they shouldn’t have casts to lớn begin with. TROLL PROTAGONIST The same thing happens with the main character, who is considered to be weak & useless, thus disliked by everybody… only khổng lồ contradict this statement a hundred times throughout the show by making him OVERPOWERED AS HELL! They try to make him seem like his magic potential is low & thus belongs in the lower caste, because magic evaluations are not done properly. We are supposed to feel sorry for the guy, & cheer for him as he tries his best lớn improve & gain everybody’s respect. And then we find out he has mastered so many types of martial arts and magical combinations that he can LITERALLY defeat anyone in half a second, while LITERALLY resurrecting và rebuilding anything he likes. He doesn’t even gradually learn most of these powers; he begins right away by having mastered everything. The sympathy we are supposed khổng lồ show for the underdog is a troll. EMPOWERMENT FANTASY This is explained as Tatsuya being essentially wish fulfillment for introverts. The audience is supposed lớn feel something lượt thích this: “We are special & awesome, but our society doesn’t appreciate us, và everybody is against us. So we will show them what we can do, và win all the time, & have all the girls call us awesome.” The problem with this concept, is that there is no build up to lớn the conflicts. If the threats are so easy khổng lồ overcome, then there is no tension, và no reason to lớn praise the protagonist. He doesn’t achieve something, as much as simply doing it without trying. His opponents never stand a chance, & thus you feel they are the victims, & Tatsuya is the bully. And yet I have seen thousands of people praising such a terrible thing, because it is basically swapping the roles of the bully with that of the bullied, & passes like a twisted type of empowerment fantasy, where you are punishing the bullies with their own medicine. BORING PROTAGONIST Even if you try khổng lồ see it that way, it is still very hard to like the whole thing, since it is boring lớn have an OP character that wins all the time. Other stories will try khổng lồ make it seem like the MC can die, or at least not make it seem like it’s all too easy. But not here. Here it is all about Tatsuya doing everything effortlessly và everybody being amazed with him. So no matter what the plot is about, there is no emotional investment, since you know exactly what will happen, và you are simply waiting lớn see how it will happen.Even though the notorious SAO shares the same bad writing, bad exposition, bad characterization, và bad EVERYTHING when it comes to lớn light novels, it at least fools you for awhile lớn think there is danger in its setting. The characters there were average people trapped in a deadly environment, cut off from their house và family, having lớn fight monsters in order to survive. Mahouka doesn’t have that; it is just a school where pampered high school kids with super magical skills gather và act lượt thích jerks to lớn each other, while teachers & parents pay for their rent & luxury. So the only thing you get in this show is a guy effortlessly brushing off a few school bullies, under the surveillance of the teachers. There is literally nothing to feel excited about. School settings in general are sapping away all tension và ruin the atmosphere. They are supposed khổng lồ be there lớn offer a haven and familiarity for teenagers but at the same time raise endless questions of the sort “Why does everything happen the way it does, và why the adults don"t do anything khổng lồ stop it?” & the answer is a simple “because adults are terrible people who create unjust societies, and only we, the hormone-crazy teenagers, can bởi vì the right thing by smacking the crap out of everything.” The first arc is about terrorists who want equality attacking the school. Because equality is evil all of a sudden. After the super awesome protagonist wipes them all out without even bothering lớn smirk, the police arrives, arrests everybody, & he returns khổng lồ his normal school life lượt thích nothing much has happened. We can’t have him being rewarded, that would end the story. So what is the second arc about? A school contest! We literally moved from a terrorist attack to lớn teenagers playing sports where they of course need to be explaining every little thing they make. That is plain insufferable. So what happens there? They vị games for honor & bullshit, and again the awesome protagonist wipes them all out without even bothering khổng lồ smirk. Third arc, evil trung quốc invades good nhật bản for liberty or some bullshit. The awesome protagonist wipes them all out without even bothering to smirk. Vì chưng you see a pattern here? UNRELATABLE PROTAGONIST It is also impossible to get to like him. He has no emotions whatsoever, and the only time he has fun, is when he wants to lớn make incest jokes about his sister. What kind of a madman would lượt thích that sort of a character? and apparently the anime community is full of madmen because there are thousands who love this unbeatable incestuous robot. TECHNOBABBLING NONESENSE But wait, there is more to it. This show is supposed khổng lồ appeal to pretentious overthinkers as well, since there is a lot of technobabble about the magic system used in the show. They have a lot of terminology that is supposed to lớn be making sense of what never makes sense, because it’s magic. And even if you find cool all the pseudo scientific stuff they say regarding that, there are still two major problems. DON’T TALK, SHOW IT First, explanations take up a ridiculous amount of time and bore you khổng lồ death. For a setting that is all about mages and battles, there is very little actual fighting going on in it. Every battle is essentially a few seconds long, followed by half an hour of people standing still & infodumping stuff about what happened. Where is the fun in that? I understand that it works much better in text form, since time stands still when you read something. This doesn"t work in the adaptation because we can tell how much time it takes to lớn say something. TROLL LIMITATIONS & second, even if you manage to lớn stay awake through the explanations, you will just have Tatsuya breaking the rules and doing stuff nobody else can. Why vị you think he is unbeatable? Because he uses strategy? No, it’s because he cheats the very system they waste hours explaining. There is nothing strategic or smart about whatever he is doing. OVERSHADOWED CAST These issues expand lượt thích a plague and damage other aspects of the show. Since half of what you see is people explaining stuff, only to be broken ten minutes later by Tatsuya, và the other half is Tatsuya casually wiping out anybody who stands in his way, there is no time left for fleshing out any of the other characters, và there sure is nothing they can vì chưng that Tatsuya can’t bởi vì himself, faster và better. The only moments a character other than Tatsuya is able to speak or fight, are the only moments Tatsuya is bored, or not around. INCESTUOUS SISTER The only other character that gets some spotlight other than Tatsuya, is his sister, và only because she is constantly next to lớn him, making incest jokes that are not meant khổng lồ be taken seriously, but we all over up imagining hentai out of them regardless. She is TOTALLY obsessed with him, repeating the word “onii-sama” at least a dozen times per episode. She doesn’t want any other girl near to lớn him, và attacks other boys who antagonize him. She is also constantly presented as the perfect girl every male would want as his girlfriend. Meaning, she becomes waifu bait, & exists khổng lồ fuel the empowerment fantasies even further. MEANINGLESS DRAMA Holy shit light novel authors, you are making people who are not into that crap to lớn cringe, you know? I understand that you want your protagonists khổng lồ be a perfect self insert all girls want to bang. But their sisters as well? & no, throwing in some drama about the magic families treating badly their children doesn’t fix the problem; because down lớn it we are here to see Tatsuya kicking ass, & his sister stalking him before she eventually seduces him and they have lots of deformed demigod babies. IN CONCLUSION The saddest part is that the budget is actually very high. Madhouse is the king of anime studios, và yet not even that could save the show from being bad. If you want lớn watch it just for the pretty colors and the teen empowerment, it is satisfactory on a very superficial level. But if you watch it for any sort of depth or good characterization, you will be greatly disappointed. There is nothing particularly good in Mahouka, và only manages lớn further prove how pre-airing hype only exists lớn mutate the reputation of what could have been a forgettable mediocre title, into an abomination we will always be using as an example of what a bad anime is all about. P.S. Hello Mahouka, how are you? Here, sit next khổng lồ your best friend, SAO. Feeling comfortable enough? Yes? Ok… GUYS GAG THEM! GRAB THEIR FEET! WATCH OUT, HE IS TRYING to lớn GET AWAY! WHERE IS THE ROPE? BRING THE TAR!
