NEWS: Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Ignition Makes The irregular at magic high school's Tatsuya Pla

Calling a guy like tatsuya 'perfect' is actually kind of sad. He is not so perfect as to be annoying because he is such a robotic person, he is totally socially oblivious. Now I will not deny that his "sister" is a Mary Sue but that only increases the contrast between the two siblings. Saying that its the equivalent to 50 Shades of Gray and Twilight is in my opinion going abit too far (though the anime was lacking from the novel).

Well, thats an issue a lot of people use for gary stus/mary sues, when you give the said person a flaw then they aren't a gary/mary, right? wrong. When you give one a pointless or minor flaw is just as bad. Being a loner, not liking to talk to people, not getting along with everyone, getting mad easy are not flaws enough to pull someone from this trope. Those are extremely common flaws to the point that even people considered perfect can have and still not be noticed.

I stopped watching the anime due to the main characters being way too good, even more so then SAO cause at least SAO gave a bad reason for it, which is better then nothing and in the end, all of SAO's BS skills were in a game not in the real world of the story.

All other characters became irrelevant now that the spoiler[Mahesvara] has arrived.

Well apparently his sister wasn't enough. They just HAD to make Gary Stu playable. The fact that this series is successful enough to get two playable characters is incredibly tragic. The Japanese anime fandom has no standards, or any idea on what good writing is. It's pretty bad that protagonists have become such shallow, self insert characters, that they are making me miss Shinji from Evangelion. At least he was flawed, and not some bland, perfect, escapist character. At this rate, the anime industry will be nothing but bad self insert fanfiction. Series like this are basically the pathetic, Japanese male, equivalent of 50 Shades of Gray and Twilight.
