The best part of Mahoutsukai no Yome magic's system is that it's almost impossible for a spoiled and entitled kid to learn magic.... beautiful, you need to be at least humble and polite

[@edinarigl1274]

It’s not just about humility but also about understanding that the fae live by their own different rules, same as us. And just as how we don’t always understand theirs, they don’t understand ours either and they’ve got no obligation to either.

[@TNTspaz]

This is running under the assumption that all fae care about whether you are humble or polite. Just looking at will o wisp. They are attracted to your personality and they are all different. If someone tried to be humble and polite to the will o wisp. It'll almost certainly turn them down The rest of this season puts a pretty big focus on understanding that even more than the first did

[@LaculusA.Lassus-bj7iw]

Definitely no Harry Potter rich kids here

I was a little surprised that Elias is actually a good teacher. Is his class dangerous? Of course, as it should be if you're learning real magic from a real magus. Still, I'd so take his class!!

[@hammer1349]

I find it quite interesting how Elias is just cutthroat and straight to the point about who will and won't make it. Admittedly I've not watched the episode but I'm curious to see what he means by quit, whether it would be quitting the class or leaving the college altogether. In the end though atleast he is being honest about the dangers and forthcoming about protecting his students, if a little blunt about it. Also nice to see him fall back on Chise when handling the salamander

[@alblgz]

@@hammer1349 Just his class. It's an elective, the College normally teaches sorcery (majutsu), not magic (mahou).

[@hammer1349]

@alblgz that would explain why he is being blunt about it and not it isn't stirring up too much fuss. I'm interested to see the differences between magic and sorcery as I've just started watching the first season

[@Aurilion44]

@@hammer1349 Yep, it's quite an interesting distinction. Sorcerers are pretty much like magic users from Fate or alchemists. They produce mana themselves (magic cores inside), use it on spells that usually just bend laws of reality, and are more of scientists and researchers while sorcery is just another branch of science. Mages/Magi on the other hand are more akin to old-school wizards, druids, shamans or oracles. They use and weave magic from outside sources (like latent mana) and commonly enter into pacts with fey, mythic creatures, gods, devils, literal forces of nature and other sentient concepts. Their spells are very much intuitive, based on their feelings and they are very, very powerful, but also very fickle and unpredictable. It's very easy for them to lose themselves in them and get crippled or die since those spells usually just straight up break or ignore laws of reality or straight up just shape it into what they want. That is also not taking into consideration accidentally offending forces they make pacts with. Not many are born with aptitude for it, fewer still survive till they can be considered proper magi. That is why Elias is so blunt here. Interestingly, magi don't always come off as fully human. Elias is... yeah, but even Chise was noted by more sensitive sorcerers to feel somewhat... off. As if she was some kind of animal or beast in human skin, but not in a negative aspect. So yeah, magi are very much like druids or shamans that are quite a bit closer to fey than humans and are very attuned with nature and supernatural forces that their more logically and scientifically oriented cousins simply can't grasp

[@im7254]

I like how they simplify them to "just" making a deal with a fae but then when chise goes dragon and does all sorts of stuff they can't believe how far it goes

[@XaldirGodofGood]

In short, you have to treaat spirits like Cats. If they don't like you, they don't like you und won't listen to anything you say. If they like you, they may do what you want but you still have to be really nice to them and not fall into their bad graces. Only Difference, Cat scratches your Eye out, this thing will incenerate you and everyone else in close proximity.

PSA for folks who are interested in watching but hasn't seen the first season. If you like studio Ghibli movies, and/or Gaelic/ Nordic mythos fantasy then you will enjoy this series. I also recommend watching the OVA set "Those Awaiting a Star" which predates S1 as it gives some background on Chise's character.

[@Anime10473]

Adding to this. The series does things differently from the comic but they do lead to the same destination and both are quite enjoyable. Warning: Series 1 has some unnecessary and embarrassingly stupid sexualization of certain female characters which was a HUGE downer and annoyance but other than that garbage, the series as a whole was quite enjoyable.

Also, the fusion at the center of stars grinds to a halt once iron is created because of how much energy it takes to heat it to fuse.

[@Ravyllsia_Passion.438]

“You’re just a lizard,” is the wrong thing to say to a salamander who can wield fire magic. First, the kid is disrespecting the salamander by saying that. Second, the kid is treating the salamander as a means to an end as it’s only a tool for him to wield magic. Third, it is offensive and provocative to the salamander, the kid never put himself in the salamander’s shoes and how he would feel if someone said something like that to him (if the kid was the salamander). Lastly, since the neighbors wield magic, the people who become magic users will need their help to conduct magic. If there is no mutual understanding or interdependence between the two parties it will be difficult to wield magic at all, among other things.

As he said earlier in the episode (before this clip), It is simply impossible for people to become magus, regardless of skill or knowledge, if the fey do not like them.

[@matthewmuir8884]

This is an optional class for learning how to be a magus (who work with faeries and spirits to cast spells) in a school for sorcerers (who create their own magic). He told them beforehand that not everyone can become a magus because it requires being able to work with the fey.

[@hatchin]

Are there any decent alternatives to Crunchyroll? I don't want to give them my money.

[@yeoblon6455]

Does anyone feel it? That the execution of certain scenes feels less whimsical compared to the first season? I get that the director changed and the series is entering a more mature, dark, and serious feel since we're dealing with humans, other organizations at ploy, and Chise's life in more grave trouble, but I feel the "magic" feel is kinda gone and I missed that aspect of the show. It really felt like it popped out of a fairytale and there's less of a magical feel since its all getting a "calculative" look if you understand what I mean.

[@hammer1349]

Such is the nature of school. Its an inherently controlled environment by nature of what it is. The first season felt magical because we were learning first hand alongside Chise about what spirits did what and how likely they were to be a help/hinderence. The feeling of "magic" I suppose could be associated with freedom, the unknown and possibility. In a school environment those are replaced with cause and effect, knowledge and probability. It is not to say that it is not dangerous but we won't be seeing Chise try to go home the way Elias does and instead fly across the ocean as a phoenix because the spirits wanted to. Something else to consider is that the neighbours here seemingly aren't wild or in their natural habitat either. They have become acclimatised to a more controlled and regulated environment. They seemingly have allowed themselves to become predictable so they can assist teachers in training new mages. Given that a constant theme in the first season is that mages are a dying breed, I imagine they had some stakes in the game themselves so were likely more willing to lend their assistance. Elias probably made it clear to them what their role and purpose was beforehand

[@alblgz]

@@hammer1349 Ehm, no. The College doesn't train "magi" (mahoutsukai) who use spirits, it's for training "sorcerers" (majutsushi) who use their own power and/or tools. It's just an introductory elective about mahou lead by Elias as a guest teacher. So the spirits are those who just happen to be there at the moment (probably attracted by Chise's magic force).

[@alblgz]

Again, that's the difference between "magic" and "sorcery" in the setting. Magic is about using "neighbours" by making contracts with them, sorcery is about using the laws of magic, so it's more engineered approach.

With time and patience theirs bound to be some kind spirit/neighbor they can use right? Don't remember a lot of the first season and might missing something

[@hammer1349]

It's a working relationship, by sides have to be in agreement. Chise has it easy because she is basically the neighbours' Queen bee, they are naturally inclined to serve her. It could be a long time before the appropriate neighbour is found for some of them in which time the rest of the class is either being held back or those who aren't immediately apt are being given knowledge that might put them at great risk if they try again on their. Taking the kid for example, he'd be toast if he tried to do that outside the classroom. I think with the nature of magic, rather than sorcery, if no spirit is willing to work with them then there is no way for them to continue and practice what they are being taught so somewhat just wasting time at that point

​@@hammer1349 I agree, as you said Chise is their queen bee, but they did try eat her when she first met them due to her magical abilities, so as you say now that she regulates her powers they sort of follow her, hence why Elias gave her the neighbour to calm down before scolding the class, she's already adept to them, technically she doesn't need to be there with Elias at home, but he refused to teach her things and she wanted to do more then be at home with her goat man child husband, who gets jealous of her having friends because he's mentally a child

Why did she say he smell rusty?

[@matthewmuir8884]

Fey do not like iron; saying he smells rusty is the fey way of saying he is incompatible.

Is this show great or alright?

[@ok_status_200]

Great!

[@idofx8722]

I concur with the man above me, it is a marvelous show. Great animation, actual longterm character development, and complex characters that are usually well expanded upon.

[@alejandro7288]

Definetely great

[@arnoldschwarzeniagara5096]

​@@idofx8722 yes, me think good too!

I like it my only problem is that season one has some episodes where I feel it loses plot focus but season 2 seems like it won't have that issue. Overall really enjoyable.

Hi Crunchy, just wanted to let you know that i really wanted to give you my money, but i wasent able to see what i wanted becouse of where i live or something, even after giving you my money, so i stopped giving you it. this happened once when i gave it a try maybe 2 years ago, how much money would that amount to 24 months subscription? and then consider that i am not the onlyone with this mindset. just wanted to throw it in there in so your aware of why i'm not giving money anymore, but instead giving a chance for change =)

[@scarletrosegaming3688]
