The Irregular at Magic High School: The Coexistence of Magic and Technology

It's a captivating anime where it blends the realms of magic and science and technology in a futuristic setting . It's set in a world where magic is not only real but a refined technology .

It explores the lives of the students that go to first high school , this institution specialized in magical education , and while we get deeper into it , I'm probably gonna make some references that might you know . You know me with the , but before I really get into it , mira Jane , how did you feel about your regular high school life ?

And I'm like and Chelsea just gotta look at her like bro , we are related .

But let's just be real , they them side characters , because you know they all have their strengths and what not , but let's just be real , they're side characters . The side characters Were like hey yo , like y'all talk to each other , like y'all in a relationship . And then Miyuki's like really .

And then Tatsuya was like Hmm , well , if we weren't related , then maybe . But Nah , I'm just fucking with y'all . Hmm well , if we weren't related , then maybe . But nah , I'm just fucking with y'all . I'm like , and then miki is like why are you teasing me like this , bro ?

It's funny that you say that because , first of all , with Tasia , I like this dude , like the way he be , like , okay , he's one of those characters to where , yeah , he doesn't have a whole lot of raw magical talent , but the way I see it , I'm like , hey man , my magical talent may be lacking , but when I have these heaters in my hand and this combat suit

on , I'm never slacking .

So , like it got , the story gets a little bit muddled in season three in my opinion .

Like , um , there's like blooms and there's weeds , and you know , blooms are not supposed to call weeds weeds .

You know , I'm saying it's supposed to be course one or course two , and some people like miyuki , um , take , um , don't take that on word , like very lightly , you know I'm like you're not allowed to call people weeds , especially considering um you considering Tazia being one .

So I'm like if you're insulting all the Course 2 students , you might as well be insulting my brother . I'm not going to stand for y'all insulting my brother .

There is nothing I would correct about season one other than , of course we've already talked about it the brother , sister , whatever well , hold on .

But then when you get to season three , where you get , uh , that one red-haired , um new girl , uh , ikt I think her name was , and the Saegusa twins , then I'm like , okay , there's the anime funny that I was looking for , with the emotional reaction and whatnot . Okay , that's the shit that I was looking for .

Okay , but season one and two , I'm like like , see , I felt like , even though I like how , when they got serious , they got serious . But sometimes when y'all like trying to be playful , even then y'all take yourself way too seriously . So that was my main gripe about it up until season three . I'm like you know what ? I can forgive it . It's all good .

But you know , with the characters you're just gonna have to like , watch it and see how you feel about them . But for the most part it's like , and unless they like do something really crazy , they're kind of forgettable . I'm gonna be honest with you , that's true .

Like is it gonna be one of those things to where you might make a anime edit on tikt , tiktok or whatnot ?

They had their little sports festival . Okay okay , Cool , cool , cool .

Bro , I might as well talk about season 2 , because season 2 pretty much makes the overarching theme of this anime the most prominent . It's like they kind of hint at it in season 1 , but once you get to season 2 and beyond , it's like , okay , I know , you pretty much know what this show is about .

And , funny enough , before I say this , keep Naruto in mind okay this anime is basically telling you that if you got talent , even at a young age , we are going to weaponize you and milk you for all your worth .

This anime is about weaponizing magicians and pretty much making child soldiers , and that's pretty much become very clear between takio shiba and lena shields now this show . This anime offers more than just a tale of magical prowess and high school drama .

At its core , it presents a profound allegory about the utilization of child soldiers and the militarization of young magicians , exploring the ethical and moral implications of using young individuals as tools of war . Now the series is set in a world where this magic is recognized technology .

Individuals are gifted with magical abilities trained from a young age to harness their powers . With magical abilities trained from a young age to harness their powers , but the setting parallels to the real world issue of child soldiers , where children are coerced or manipulated into becoming instruments of warfare .

Now , young magicians are often viewed as resources or weapons rather than individuals with rights and aspirations . Now , like I said , tasia and lena exemplifies this conflict . Tasio's extraordinary abilities make him both a valuable asset and a target , highlighting the pressures and exploitations faced by those with unique talents and warlike societies

. Lena , also known as andalina kudo shields , is a prominent character introduced in the series as a powerful magician with septal skills . Funny thing is , tassio tried to talk no juice to Lena out of her job because she knows that deep down she's not really cut out for this job .

But then again , with her abilities , like you know , masquerading as the redhead and whatnot , angie's serious . Uh , pretty much she was like forced into this life .

So with lena , uh , she holds a steam position as the head of the united states of north america's elite magician unit known as stars , where she operates on the alias andy series , and she's characterized by her striking appearance uh , golden , long , golden hair and all that .

And she's had this blend of determination and charm , um , playful at times , like she , she's kind of comedic when she wants to be . But throughout the series , uh , lena's abilities are showcased as she's engaged in various missions that test her magical bomb prowess and all that .

And she gets into fights with tatsuya and miyuki and you see how deep she's in and whatnot . On tatsuya's , like you don't have to do all this , you can just live a normal life . And like you don't have to do all this , you can just live a normal life . I'm like you don't know me Shut up and all that shit for like 12 , 13 episodes .

But think about it like that , like when I mentioned Naruto , where not only did I thought , she was like , hey , listen , you and I are not that different .

Though , like how Naruto and all of them were raised at young age to be prepared for a war and all that shit , and like it just brings to perspective how , like even in real life , where you're pretty much getting prepared for a fight that you have no like the matter in , but they're like , nope , you're getting involved anyways yeah , yeah , that does put that

into perspective , because I didn't , you're not wrong , I think watching naruto , you're just kind of like when you think about it you're just like , oh , they're ninjas , so this is expected , right , like this should be .

Um , I also think that I think a regular , imagine high school does a really good job of explaining the of using manipulation , because , like , I don't , I don't want to get , it sounds like russia , I don't want to say it like that , but it if you , if you looked up like how they train their gymnast , or if you look at like the war way back when , how they

train , oh , you know like , uh , like talent hollywood russia you mean to where it just Seem like .

He brings conflicting emotions in me , even though he's the least emotional character in the show he makes me feel conflicted emotionally and honestly , I think that that was intentional , because you start to feel for him in a way .

You're like , wow , he's really not a mindless soldier , but he's a mindless soldier like he doesn't think about anything else other than protecting miyuki which , yes , he should . But and you ?

And then , as a slow progression season later , you start to see him caring about other people and caring if they're safe or not , and he starts making more decisions about people's safety , which is a good example of the talk no jutsu right , like he tries to talk this girl out of being in an environment that he knows is not conducive to her own nature .

So I think he's my favorite character out of the whole show . Um , but you made a good point there . I like that . That was a good point good .

Excuse me , I did not know about this until a few days ago and I just watched it recently and essentially it said , three years prior to the main storyline , how Tatsuya , originally viewed as an emotionless and powerful magician , became closely bonded to Miyuki , despite the initial emotional distance imposed by their family and through a series of events , including a

life-threatening situation during a family trip , miyuki becomes to understand the depth of Tatsuya's loyalty and unwavering commitment to her safety , and this revelation transforms her perception of him and her previously distant demeanor shifts to one of deep affection and reliance .

This art not only deepens the narrative by exploring the siblings' past , but also introduces key elements to the Yosuba family influence and the societal pressures surrounding magical prowess .

It sheds light on Tatsu's unique magical abilities and the restrictions placed upon him due to his family's policies , laying the groundwork for the conflicts and character motivation seen throughout the series . So , with that being said , I like how , at first you get the moment um , first meet tasuya .

She was like I don't like this dude , like why he looking like that all the time , why he just stand there doing nothing , like he just creeps me out , he makes me so uncomfortable and then all it took for her to be in danger by the three guys . By the way , the three guys were like actually cool people , you know .

They were like I don't know , but point being it's like , Tati was like stand back , I'm gonna do

my job . I was like You're just a scrawny kid , what can you do ? I was like , oh yeah , you don't know about me , but watch this .

Uh , kasumi was going to attack on tasia , uh , with , like I guess , a knee , high knee kick or something like that , and then Tasia grabbed her knee and just flinged her away and then at that moment I was like , clearly you don't know about me , but watch this .

Let me show you Let me , put you in a child's place and give you the ass whooping your daddy should have gave you .

I don't think it was like oh , why won't he look at me ? Kind of jealous . I think it was like a weird brother fetish . I really do . That's what I . That was the vibe .

Because , hey man , I'm still kind of surprised they're coming out with new seasons of Blue Exorcist and Black Butler out of nowhere .

Like man it was popping off in the last two arcs oh my god , hitman reborn is a sleeper anime .

I don't want to go on our uh a tangent about another anime while we're talking about irregular magic high school but I know him .

Remember when you was telling me about Tatsuya and his facial features and whatnot ?

So she's not like all doll-like in the mainline story , but with Tatsuya man . They kind of fucked up Tatsuya just a little bit . I mean it's like subtle notice , but it's almost like you can tell they softened his face and it's almost like he doesn't have that stoicness on his face . I'm like , oh , you ruin him .

No , no , go back to the stoic , stone cold face . And then they , uh , I saw season three . Okay , y'all got it back . Cool , cool , thank god , oh you know what ?

By the way , I don't understand how we get a whole series for Netflix for Edward's side of the story , but here we are .

And I think the way Honor Student Magic High School does it is Miyuki's perception is like everything's softer , like oh , it's like little hearts and little rainbows , like oh , he's my brother , you know , like romanticized a little bit .

She went from that to oh , my brother , he's my everything and all that . I'm like this , this . When you think about it , this all changed when Tassia saved her life , so it's almost like this is like the savior hero complex .

But what we see is him like like season two , right , we get to see him becoming a little bit more emotional , right , a little bit kind of flexing those emotion muscles a little bit . But we also see him plotting and planning a little bit , and then in the third season it's everything feels secretive hold on .

You can't just run yourself ragged even though you're trying so hard to help people like we get it Like and we do appreciate you . But sometimes so hard to help people like we get it like and we do appreciate you , but sometimes you need to take a break .

You know , and I'm like I felt that because I'm trying to juggle so many different things and I'm like , bro , like you gotta like take like one , two days , I'll just do absolutely nothing you like , listen to the magic cons , like . Sometimes it's like oh , magic cons , what do we do now ? Like nothing . I was like the cons had spoken .

Yeah , like , and even though we think and that's the other thing too at some point I think we even started to see tatsu as a robot , so that particularly that episode when everyone's like , oh yeah , you need to just take a chill pill and relax , it's like , oh , he's not a robot there's also the narrative in real life to where you know people are like nobody

cares how you feel work harder and all that other shit and it's like , honestly , it's kind of wild how we we're human beings but we treat each other like we're in human .

Sometimes having it both ways it makes sense , but then sometimes , like you , can't have it both ways all the goddamn time . Like you know how if I know we're derailing this point , but I don't care , I'm , I'm just gonna say it .

Um , you know how , like sometimes you have those memes and you have those anime memes where like oh , would you uh go with this girl or this girl or whatnot , and and then some goober in the comments going to be like why can't I have both ? I'm like motherfucker , do you think both of them want you ?

I'm sorry , but it's just weird how people swear yeah , like treating Tassio like a robot instead . You know , like he's a human being , like he needs rest , he needs proper meals and whatnot , he needs time off to himself . Get a hobby , motherfucker , you know .

Oh , yeah , yeah , I feel you , I gotcha be motherfucker , you know oh yeah yeah , I feel you I gotcha uh , was there anything else I wanted to talk about with this anime ?

Uh , it was the double seven , steeplechase and the ancient city insurrection . Um , those like the three arcs that was jam packed into it , but for the most part it just felt like three different arcs , like it kind of felt like they were rehashing what we already knew .

Um , essentially , you're training up kids to become soldiers , like they made it very obvious in the steeplechase arc , to where they changed up those events , to where it just sounds more like military stuff that people do , and it's almost like you're making it very on the nose that you're trying to weaponize these children , and I find that very problematic .

That's like I want to say that . That's like I want to say that that's the biggest problem . But that's not the biggest problem of the anime , because I just like that as a theme . But the biggest problem is that relationship . I'm like why , like I can understand If it was more ?

Like what if Miyuki just have Like this very strong Platonic Love for her brother To a point where , like , she sees the Best of him and she just want people to Stop underestimating him and all that ? And It'd be great if she had like very strong respect for tasia , but she's seriously in love with him . I'm like , uh , see , this is another thing .

How I've been noticing on facebook how some folks are not all that into anime when they have not only sweet home alabama here , but also the fact that they're not in this anime , but at least not a lot in this anime , but in anime in general .

How it seemed like you have all these um , boys and girls like bikinis , you know , sexualized and whatnot , and the main thing is they're usually like anywhere between 14 and 16 . But here's the thing in japanese culture I'm learning that years the age of consent was 13 , but they bumped it up to 16 .

So in Japanese culture , where anime is usually from when you're 16 , you're good to go , so that's normal over there . That's not normal over here , so that's why there's like a .

I feel like that's one of the main disconnects with anime , to where y'all making it centered around these teenagers and whatnot , uh , but like in over here in america , we're thinking like bro , why can't there be more anime where the characters are like adults , or at least like 18 , 19 and whatnot , like on average , and it doesn't have to be weird , see , that's

why I kind of appreciate zen with zone zero , even though that's a game , but it's more like a anime style video game , so it kind of counts to me . Point being is that all those characters , well , almost all , like 80 to 90 percent of the characters that you see are at least 18 .

So I'm like , okay , it's not gonna get weird if somebody's gonna sexualize them all . Well , you know on the thing . Then again , they are legal aid . So I'm like I ain't no fair game , but I'm not going to . I don't know , I'm just distancing myself away , you know . But if it's like under 18 , I'm like , okay , that's a no-no sir .

The dialogue not only serves to develop character relationships , but also injects humor and intelligence into the narrative . The art style and visual effects now , visually it's stunning , with high quality animation that brings the magical battles to life . The meticulous attention to detail in the character designs and environments and the immersive experience .

The visual effects , particularly during the magical combat scenes impressive and vibrant colors , fluid motion really captured the essence of magic and a powerful , beautiful force . I would say , and I do like the music , like lisa , oh , my god , fucking love .

Whenever I I hear Lisa on the track , I'm like , yeah , this anime is going to be a banger Because , uh , I heard , um , I like her songs and um , the music plays a pivotal role in shaping the anime's atmosphere and enhancing the storytelling . Uh , it was composed by Taku Iwasaki .

The soundtrack blends a variety of genres , including electronic , orchestral rock elements , to reflect the show's futuristic and magical themes .

Engaging characters , intricate world building , stunning visuals . Must watch . Highly recommend Four stories out of five Because once again that brother sister relationship kind of kills it for me .

What about you , mj ?

But you get to the second season no offense , I don't care about stars , I don't give a shit about her at all . Like fuck her . Right , there was no reason .

That's all we needed to know .

So sometimes Miyuki's not even in the picture , uh , when tatsu is trying to do his own thing . So I just imagine like miyuki really was only there for half of the first season in that like and that's , it's fine , it's just .

I want oddly enough , I can kind of see it , especially with him wearing this all black suit he looking murdered out like yeah , like ready to take over , like his whole entire thing was to save her right , like that's his mission , that's his job and he she doesn't want to be , and him becoming the head oh there's such a pull-up on like genu bro , like in

this , it would just be so . It would have been so good to see that unfold that way . I think they missed that opportunity and maybe I need to read it I mean think about it and maybe I need to read it .

Another thing , I'm sorry it's gonna be another real world application to where don't just piss you off is a little bit to where it seemed like with the way schools are sometimes , where they assume that every kid that gets into the system are like built normally right , but you know they have like the kid that's like built different , like they're not like special

ed per se , but more like they learn differently . And you know how sometimes with autistic kids they're actually like geniuses but they just learn differently . But the thing is they had this whole criteria that Tosia just didn't fit in . But if they were testing him on what he's specialized in , then they'll be like , oh shit , he's actually a genius .

I'm like , yeah , but you were just testing him on shit that he's not very strong in , so you just assume he's worthless because he didn't meet your standards . But if you actually testing him on what he's actually good in , then you will see how much worth he actually has . But that's just a thing .

Um , he has this ability like not only is he great at engineering , but he does have some uh , combat ability . Like bro , he trained with a dude to learn like ninjutsu and shit . Like , well , I don't think he has to use ninjutsu , his master does , but he can't . He got Hands um For sure .

So I guess you can say that , uh , I like Tatsuya Because he just seemed like that Underdog . That's actually like A low key genius and he's just gonna have to Approve himself . Well , I don't , he doesn't have to impress Anybody . Well , I don't even have to impress anybody , honestly .

But it is more like one of those things where , yeah , well , you know , I may be a course two student , but you know , I'll just , uh , work hard and , um , do my best , and you know you guys flowering , I'm happy for him , man oz , and mainly , talk to you is , like you know , I'm just trying to figure things out , like I'm not exactly sure what I want for

myself , but I do know one thing I want to make sure that my sister's safe , even if that means taking on my whole family , to make sure that my family can't manipulate Miyuki . And that's the thing where the aunt made it clear to where . Oh yeah , tatsu is a monster .

We can't manipulate Miyuki , and that's the thing where the aunt made it clear to where , oh yeah , tatsuya's a monster . We can't control that motherfucker , but however , he continually cared for his sister . So if we can control the sister , we control Tatsuya . Yeah , yeah , was there something you wanted to add , mj ?

I did love season one . That's about it . I think that's all I have to add about Irregular Magic High School oh oh wait , you know , I have to do my Irregular Magic High School . Oh wait , I have to do my boy crush . There were no boy crushes in this anime for me , really None . I'm not going to lie though .

. It's where the dudes for the most part the girls had more air time and shit than the guys , whereas like the guys , I guess they kind of did stuff , but they didn't really stand out .

We're gonna go ahead and zone out of here . So have yourself a good morning , a good afternoon and a good evening . Take it easy .
