Budget ? what does budget have anything to do with it ? am talking about their poor executing in writing/scripting/screen play, not animation/voice actor and music quality.
come again ?
That's how boring it is, and you missed the point about the conversation being completely unnecessary,
I welcome infodumps and explanations, i have watched tons of series that did nothing but talked like Space Brother ( This manga is about Astronaut so am pretty you can imagine how high their conversation standards )
The problem with infodumps here is they were either not needed or needed, but done poorly.
I'll gladly read/watch magic explanation if it leads to something or is made as a mean to immerse watcher/reader,
Technobabble. Magical sequences in the show are interrupted by long explanations of the magical theory behind them. Characters would sit in the cafe and discuss magic. Tatsuya would move a block across a room then launch into a lengthy explanation why this was difficult for him. Tatsuya would explain why wizards flying is really difficult for most of an episode and then proceed to solve it a minute later accompanied by another explanation. I got a pretty good grasp on the world's magic system by the end of the show,
but these scenes are all excruciatingly boring even with that knowledge. Eyes glaze over as they talk about oscillating magical frequencies and squiddidly heebijeebies and whatnot. What was even more frustrating is you could use none of this knowledge to enjoy the show more. None of the explanations helped the viewer understanding what was going on in a battle better or let you work out what was going on yourself. Even with the knowledge of magic I gained, it never became useful to know for anything else. It wasn't building lore either since it felt mostly like reading from a highly boring textbook. So what was the point of these lengthy magical explanations?
And here you're talking about the LN ? am pretty sure am talking about the anime,
You're going round and round with that explanation and in the end its "Oni-Sama save her life that's why she want Oni-sama to bang her" surely my statement is spot on,
Good Characters ? really ? Good Story? in Mahouka ? did you just.......
Stephen Hawking pretends to be a kindergarten student and crushes them all in the science fair. Replace Stephen Hawking with "super soldier who has god like magic power" and kindergarten with "magic school" and you get the idea. Likeable characters and nice magical effects ruined by an idiotic story. The final 3 episodes have a battle which is like watching a kid stomp on ants. How did such a bad story ever get made?
When your show has two mary sues in it, both our main protagonists at that, then you know you have some explaining to do. Tatsuya, our male protagonist is not the strongest in the magical field, as i mentioned before he is part of the less skilled group, but this is overshadowed by his amazing martial arts skill and knowledge of how magic works. He is one of the biggest Gary Stues I have ever seen in a show, since even though he's not supposed to be good with magic, he actually is. He literally takes a guy down in less than a second. He has almost no personality and one of his biggest purposes is explaining everything to everyone.
Miyuki is our second protagonist, and as much a Mary sue as her bigger brother is a Gary stues. The opposite of Tatsuya when it comes to magical skills, Miyuki is very proficient in the use of magic. Having next to no personality, the only thing Miyuki does is praise her brother, call her brother ''Onii-sama'', praise her brother, tell people how awesome her brother is and praising her brother. It doesn't help that she obvously loves Tatsuya more than a little sister should.
Side characters are awful, and just serve the purpose of praising Tatsuya or getting told how things work, since Tatsuya is the only one who knows anything in this show.
Horrible characters that either serve no purpose or are thrown in as an excuse to get some expostion,
The story is not much better. Given the huge character cast and boring main characters, the story tends to be slow paced and takes too long to explain things. 90% of MKnR is spent explaining. Almost every time an action scene occurs or a new magic is shown, the show stops and has the characters indirectly explain to the audience what happened even though I never really cared to know most of the time.
Plus most things that are explained are rather unimportant overall and make it hard to focus on the actual important information.
For example
If the explanation for why Tatsuya can run super fast is because he can strengthen his legs with magic, I'm sure no one would complain - that's a satisfying enough explanation. However, an explanation in the show gives us would include talking about the absolute fundamentals of what Tatsuya does - creating psion waves which are the basic forms of magical energy and shifting them to the feet where waves of energy are released upon the foot's contact with the ground at a 45 degree angle - I'm sure you understand by now. The explanations are just too long and unnecessary, especially when they're not crucial for our enjoyment of the show.
Then you should check MAL/ANN/ and MH there you'll see LN readers blaming Madhouse for the poor anime adaptation and Madhouse fanboy defending Madhouse and claim mahouka for being mediocre to begin with,
Despite wanting to be taken seriously, the show can't help but have it's fair share of generic high school hijinks. Mahouka is a harem. None of the male characters get any significant screen time except for Tatsuya, and all other female characters are either in love, or appear to be in love with Tatsuya.
You agreed with a person who said the series was horrible and posted a video mocking it, how is that not hate?
Budget is a huge deal, how do you think the studio pays the animators and the writers?
Anime News Network is more reliable
You must be registered for see links
Do you realize all the explanations in the anime where simplified and shortened? Every part that had a explanation in the anime had a longer more complex explanation in the novel, so for you to say that the anime is badly adapted because of that is quite comical. If you think those are boring the yepp, the series is definitely not for you.
You asked a question and I answered it U_U.
Nope, that statement is still wrong.
The classic Mahouka hater statement that Tatsuya is just a boring over powered Gary Stu. Well personally I have no problem with the way he is. Tatsuya is a breath of fresh air from the common dumb and goofy MC's that we usually get. His personality is interesting to me, he's calm, he witty, he's humble, and he's kind but he doesn't hesitate to be cold and ruthless when it matters, he is sort of a hybrid between Itachi and Lelouch. I enjoy watching his character grow emotionally as well. I don't mind him being OP and Haxxed at all to be quite honest with ya, because the majority of the time he is heavily restricted, so he just resorts to using skill and strategy and its alway fun to see him let loose when the occasion arises.
Tatsuya is only good at combat magic, because his artifical processor only works efficiently with magics the run with 5 processes or fewer, which covers more than half of the known combat magic.
As for Miyuki, her Bro complex is annoying, but her love and loyalty to him is really admirable. She's is trying to repay the debt she owes him for the pain she caused him. I try to ignore her romantic feelings for him, because I believe the show won't follow that route, unless they turn out to not be siblings.
As for the side characters I find them all unique and interesting. Erika and Mayumi being my favorite female ones and Masaki being my favorite male side character.
Like I said many of the other side character's developement and background comes later in the series. Though if I have to nitpick the anime took out a whole piece of characterization from taking out some scenes of character interactions.
As for the story I find the world they are in truly interesting. A world where magic & science coexsist quite well with incredible deep and complex pseudo magic science that actually works and make sense. There are also deep political, discrimination, and prejudice concepts that are putting that really gives this show a realistic vibe. Combine that with Tatsuya's story of trying to live a normal life despite facing many challenges and constantly being used as weapon makes it one of the most unique and interesting stories I have ever watched/read and has earned a spot on my all time favorites.
For mahouka I always use the wiki site to talk about it and most LN's readers on their had overall positive reactions to the anime, though we all know its far from perfect and has many of flaws. Most LN's readers that I came across that hate the anime are the ones who overhyped for themselves and had way to high of expectations, so they ended up hating it for the fact that it wasn't as good as the Light Novel(which of course is way better), but this happens with a lot of series out there tbh.
Now your complaining about the harem? Lol The harem isn't even distracting to the main storyline and I don't have a problem with harems as long as they are not the main focus, the women are good interesting characters, and the guy isn't dumb or get flustered by the women.
