For someone who didn’t do well in his magical tests, Tatsuya kicks all of the ass. This all leads to rebellion and terrorism, bombs go off at the school and intruders attack, all of which Tatsuya and his newfound friends put a stop to fairly easily. Sadly it’s only really superficially explored. The first major arc in TIaMHS focuses on the prejudice towards the weaker students, and on a grander scale, the uneasy relationship between the powered and un-powered populations in the world. At this point I’m down for this and excited to see where things are going! In any case, setup done, show gets going.

Also, I thought Tatsuya was supposed to suck at magic.

This is good actually, this could make for some interesting stuff! This should have magic riots and magic police brutality going on in no time! It’d be interesting to see an anime take on prejudice, even if it’s magic prejudice.Īnyway, in order to break up this fight, Tatsuya used a curious sort of magic disruption technique that stops everyone in their tracks, which gets the attention of the disciplinary committee who recruits him. The second class students are bitter and angry about their treatment, but lack the power and influence to change things.

The second class students are all looked down upon and treated with scorn by the first class students. Immediately we are introduced to the prejudice and discrimination that second class students face from their more powerful brethren, which is the focus of the first story arc of TIaMHS, as a fight is about to break out between first class students and weeds (derogatory slang for second class students), which Tatsuya breaks up. Biased testing in the school system? NO! Shocking! Supposedly Tatsuya is super smart and awesome, but the tests were done in a way that glossed over his skills and focused on his faults. Miyuki is extraordinarily gifted and totally hot, so a first class student of course, while Tatsuya didn’t do well in his tests and has been designated as a second class student. As there aren’t many people with magical abilities in the world, they take all who have magical abilities but separate them based on magic potential into first and second class students. The Irregular at Magic High School (TIaMHS?) instead focuses on Tatsuya and his sister Miyuki, a pair of new students at First High, a school that trains magic users. Sadly, as it turns out that’s not what the Irregular at Magic High School is about AT ALL! Note to self turn safesearch on before googling “fingerbanging” at the office. A good old-fashioned coming of age story! He’d win and then take the cheerleader to magic prom and magic fingerbang her at magic makeout point afterwards. Maybe he’d have a crush on a cheerleader and have to join the magic football team to play magic football and clash with the magic star quarterback. I was initially drawn to it because it has a pretty good look to it and with a name like the Irregular at Magic High School I was imagining a kid who wasn’t very magical at all and would cut school to smoke behind the bleachers at the football field. The Irregular at Magic High School, aka Incest God.

My thoughts are important, the people must be told! They’re not very well informed and not totally thought through, but he has them and they are important damn it! The following are his ramblings which will be spoilerific as fuck, fairly poorly written, and definitely poorly thought through. Before we proceed, let it be known that Natehawke is a dude who sits at a desk and has opinions about things.
