Eh, movie isn't ideal since it'll be a long time before I can watch it, but at least it's a new animated work. Hopefully it doesn't end up being a compilation film. Doing Reminiscence makes the most sense.

I hope this leads to a 2 and 3 season.

Hopefully Aniplex brings the movie overseas for a limited screening a few months after its released.

Won't happen. They're under the impression that the English fandom hates this series. That's why they didn't dub it.

That doesn't mean anything. All of their movies, dubbed or subbed, have had US screenings within months of the Japanese run.

I was hopeing for a second season but a movie is good as well especially if it's going to be a telling of The Reminisce Arc. I'm just happy more content is getting put out.

Pfft, lame. Would've definitely preferred a 2nd season instead.

The legend part is pretty much confirming they're adapting the Reminiscence arc which tells of how Tatsuya became so legendary. It's basically a flashback but important for fleshing out the characters especially Tatsuya.


Have to say though that sounds kind of interesting. I hope they do that then.

I am seriously angry right now. This piece of fascist, nationalistic self-insert glorification for lonely NEETs has been one of the worst fictional works I have ever read and its popularity imho explains why people like Trump can have a chance in elections. This should not exist.

If Season 2 happens after this, I can hold on a bit longer.

I'd say people's tendency to spout out and believe false accusations without knowing what they're talking about is the reason for Trump's success.

Yes, the Great Asian Alliance is a recurring antagonist, but the show is also constantly pointing out how inhumane and unethical Japanese mage development is. There's plenty of Japanese doing bad things to other Japanese on display here.

Tatsuya may seem like a self insert at first, but as more is revealed about him you realize how much his life sucks and you don't want to be him. Even SAO's author realizes this and says it's more about trying to top Tatsuya so you can win Miyuki away.

This better be new content and not some lame recap movie of the series or I'm going to be real disappointed.

I got over the Great Asia Alliance ( again, "China" in the web version) part pretty quickly when volume 9 to 11 comes out (USNA transfer student arc), after the painful and rough reading experience I got from reading vol 7 and 8 (both web and LN version), admittedly that transfer student arc is when I consider this a fair game for everyone.

Not to mention in the latest arc (volume 17 to 19), USNA becomes the big bad again...

It's really a matter of rotations in terms of villians in Mahouka universe, personally I can get over it, understandably it's a tall order for some. But in the end, it is just a fictional work, no need to get uncomfortable as you know almost nothing happens in the novel mirrors to the real events.

Sure, I get it (in theory, anyways, since Canada is never the villain in anything) but to accuse Mahouka of glorifying Japan and portraying it as squeaky clean is outright false. The Japanese, Tatsuya included, can be pretty nasty too.

Now if we were talking about GATE....
