The Irregular at Magic High School Season 3

I like the series and all. But this season of Mahouka wasn't as enjoyable as the previous ones. The pacing felt off, the character interactions and whatnot was off and random too. In terms of the arcs that were included this season, it stayed pretty true to the light novel source. But I can't really say there was a wow factor that brought out anything special about these few arcs. Initially, the anime uses flashback scenes to convey the story but then does away with it after a few episodes. Honestly seemed OK as a tool to use but I can understand if people are juststraight up confused. Overall, I'd say it was an OK season but not as exciting as it could have been.

Season 1: Completed (ALL the fans are thrilled and ecstatic with how OP Tatsuya is when it comes to his Dispersion and Nuke, aka, the material burst) Reviewing the list of events we have: We have no head dragon -> Nine school competition -> Yokohama (Extra 2 nuke) Season 2: Completed (We all know the best magician in STARS is nothing compared to Tatsuya for briefly 10 eps of dealing Parasite) While the last 3 ep mainly exhibit the hint of the next season 3 covering the Arc of Gouhzing guy. From my perspective: Season 1 and season 2 are mainly manifesting high level of combat ->with bold story and how it revolves the main. While we can see the power of friendship, and the people Tatsuya knows how to work well with him in defeating and overwhelming the adversity challenging his normal school life. BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, those 2 seasons neglected entirely the story revolving around his family clan also known as the Yotsuba Clan, Top 1 clan reign over 10 master clans within Japan. And also the relation between the power of other clans and how they interact with each other and influence the military. Without much of inspection on how the story goes, but rather solely focusing on how Tatsuya defies those challenges given to him. (Nothing but a real clown jumping into a circus known as school life while doing military questline as his sidequest) So, to cover those miserable mistakes, the anime season 3 is coming out with a huge surprise, Season 3(No Spoiler): Focusing on Military/Tatsuya fate/Maya Yotsuba(Basic his clan) 1. Cut scene/Story board: 9.5/10 -> this is a thing that season 1 and 2 failed terribly. (If you want to focus on how the scene transitions and how detail on the context of the conversation in character) -> season 3 made it lit. 2. The music and opening on first Arc, is extremely fluent and narrative flow is well made to the point that it is making me goosebumps . Honestly, I've never expected there is such thing that coming from this series! 3. They mainly revolve around the story and world building, from audience perspective, those information is extremely informative and relevant to understanding what actually going on in the anime. -> I know more and get attracted into this series which makes me find some good posts on Reddit to read the novel! 4. Some people dislike the 3D animation. But I tell you, 97% of the time, it is well designed with 2D and animation is the best of all in 3 seasons. 3% is 3D but those 3D are background characters that do not considerably matter to me much, the characters in conversation and facial expressions are even more detailed in comparison with the previous season. 5. This season shows the deep moral of connection in those characters between members in the family, not like before somebull shiet screentime to skip straight into anime fight scene without any narrative flow to understand how it leads to fight scene. 6. The level of implication and requests are extremely constructive(which relates to the level of story building, politics) -> highly appreciate the effort of making a good narrative flow(Which gains my attention and excitement) -> Well done, unlike 2 seasons before. 7. Transition into ED is so freaking awesome and damn goooddddd! What better? ED is also too gud to be real. Not gonna like. Please trust me! My limited in vocabulary can't describe how well the ED is in this anime. Cons: However, the reason why it is rated at 7 on MAL. Actually, it has its own reason to stay this low and I understand the majority of the fanbase considering this is worse and ain't good like the 2 previous seasons. 1. As mentioned, the narrative flow is well done -> but the fight scenes (Not badly designed in animation) somehow end up pretty fast as they are too strong and potent in the fighting field. 2. Mostly talking and solely focusing on conversation and narrative of story rather than fighting. So people are disappointed due to carrying on too much expectation on fighting scene or climax part where it doesn't happen as expected. So? For story: well constructed than ever before, which is amazingly impressive that makes me from watching anime into reading light novel -> 9.5/10 Music: Still remember LISA? She is the one who does the cooking for this season. 10/10 Animation: 8.5/10 (Assuming 9, but the color vibrance is too heavy and intensive for me so I can't give a 10) + Detailed/Facial expression/concern/apprehensiveness/serious/breathtaking fighting scene -> well done +Transition cut scene/ storyboard: 9.5/10 Pacing: 7.5/10 -> this is where we have problem, because of this most of people are not satisfied with this current season. Not gonna lie, the anime itself has a huge potential but considering this to be perfect, this is going to be a masterpiece like 86. Total point I could get for this is: 8 (Despite the number score given, if you are interested in story and world building -> please MUST WATCH. If you want fight scene and no brain power while watching-> please skip)

The third season with a new school year and new students, adds even more drama levels to it. Like Shippou Takuma, a newcomer character who always makes trouble at school, and his reasons are still the same as other stupid characters who think he is the most talented, and doesn't want to respect people who are below his level or in words (WEED) which is the lowest caste in this anime. Such reasons are too boring to reappear in the third season, and make it a source of commotion. The development of the story is still the same as the previous seasons, whether it feels fast or thereis a plot that is missed, Each episode is not connected to the previous episode. You could say this third season is Milking and is just looking for fame from the previous season, and no matter the graphics or story it doesn't have much development though, The important thing is that this anime can still be broadcast and hope that people who previously liked it will praise it again in its third season. I'm not very good at writing reviews, and this is also the first time, what is clear is that this anime is boring to watch!
