Summary:

A Madhouse production, Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei comes in as one of the more anticipated light novel adaptations of the year. Led by director Ono Manabu (Horizon,Saki), the series revolves around a world where magic has become technologically systematized. Magic users have become known as "magic technicians," and attend magic high schools and universities in order to nurture their skills. Depending on their skill, technicians are divided into two groups: the low achievers and the high achievers. Buoyed by her practical skills, Shiba Miyuki (Hayami Saori) arrives as the freshman group's top student, while her brother Shiba Tatsuya (Nakamura Yuuichi), who lacks the ability to use magic, is designated as a low achiever. This is the story of two siblings beginning the next stage of their lives.

Own opinion:

This is still a hyped series though, and such series have a propensity to skewer expectations and polarize impressions. If you're going to watch this show, be sure to temper your expectations so you can enjoy it for what it is. It's also a light novel that is popular, with the concept of magic it let's me expect many things. And in show make sure you are ready for a little bit of harem and incest moments but of course it will focus on the action side.
