Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei

[Buffalobiian]

HS - Episode 16, Episode 17

-----------------------------------------









Miyuki's episode rocked. Her happy face and ignorance with the whole dodgy thing really gives you a sense of danger that isn't there when Tatsuya's on the line instead. Tatsuya getting angry's just icing on the cake (and even if he's just as competent angry or not), it gives a sense of gravity towards the whole issue.

Tatsuya's got his auto-heal, but until the episode finished I thought Miyuki could have been sniped out of the air. As for his feelings for Miyuki being the only 'natural' thing left, right now it could be interpreted as either Tatsuya referring to himself having undergone psychological conditioning or physical modification.

The incest really invites some wonderful interactions that are rarely seen in anime. You have the more lovey-dovey ones in Shoujo, but for for a close bond without the bickering that comes with the usual hothead and/or tsundere girl (Erika/Leon) this is quite the treat.

No Head Dragon has some pretty stupid betting going on though. They're the bank. Just do what banks usually do and put low rates on the obvious winners. Instead they must have thought they'd earn some extra cash by increasing the rates on First High then actively interfering with the results. If you're not smart enough to do that and get away with it, then it sucks to be you.
