This was a terrible episode. Compressed pacing, axing out of many of the scenes that made this arc what it was, the nerfing of Miyuki just to reinforce the construction of her as nothing more than a branch of Tatsuya when she is more complex than that. Conveniently quick resolution of conflict, no sense of mortal danger conveyed. Bizarre and inconsistent usage of exposition (Magic Amplifier is more important than explaining Cocytus or Rupture....) . And some other unmentionable but hilariously badly scripted scenes, by order of the Moderators on this forum (ie the Ban on talk on Nationalism).
Basically, this episode is terrible - most things that could have easily gone wrong with Mahouka has gone wrong, the path of least resistance was taken.
