Review of The Irregular at Magic High School

This Anime piqued my interest because it was magic, and of course because the first OP was Rising Hope byLiSA (I love the artist LiSA).

The Storyline was really interesting and it started a little slow in my opinion but after a few eps I got really into it and because addicted to it. Any Anime that has magic, action and even some comedy really do get my go ahead at trying it out. Although this is a magic Anime, I would come close to say, it’s a little like alchemy because of the way it’s done and used.

The Animation and Sound was one of the best things about this Anime, it was amazing and it fit the type of Anime perfectly. The First and Second OP’s were amazing and the Second ED was equally amazing.

The Characters is the only part that I felt… got on my nerve and I found lacking something. The two main characters who are siblings, as in Brother and Sister were just a little too close to comfort and the fact Miyuki was practically throwing herself against her brother was just a little off putting at times. Even though both Tatsuya and Miyuki are classed as main characters, I really preferred when the focus was centred around Tatsuya as his personality was lacking in a really good way and I just loved how he does whatever it takes to protect the people he cares about, especially his sister. The other characters were amazing to make the Anime just that little more amazing especially Erika and Masaki.

Overall I really did enjoy this Anime and it got really good after the first few eps and even better halfway through. So please know that although you may not like it at first, when the OP changes to the second one, that is when it will get even better.

Anime Spotlight #10: The Irregular at Magic High School (Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei)

Description:
The anime's story takes place in a world in which magic is not a fairy tale, but has existed for nearly one hundred years. In the spring, the Private Magic University Affiliated High School (Magic High School for short) is welcoming its new students, and names the top incoming student with the best grades the Bloom. The student called the Weed is the Bloom's replacement. Siblings Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba are designated as the Weed and Bloom, respectively. Tatsuya is a young man who always has a farsighted expression, and Miyuki is a young woman who feels far more for her brother than sibling love. Since the day the two entered the gates of the elite school, the establishment's peaceful days have become chaotic.

Reason for Spotlight:
Although this has a great rating it hasn't been watching by a lot of people, which leads to me think "Why?". The most basic answer is not many people know about it, or have had time to watch it or rate it on certain sites such as "Anime Planet". This Anime although isn't perfect in any shape of form, its good, really good. If you don't mind close relationships between family members that is. The magic is amazing and the actual storyline is pretty unique. If you like magic related Anime then this is right up your street. GO check it out :)
