I don't know what to say about Touma anymore.

The ED looks pretty professional. But the actual show is just...wtf.

Knowing the backstory is pretty much a prerequisite from the way they've decided to do things. Heck, even the OVA series that aired before this series wouldn't have made much sense without prior knowledge of the story. In short, I have no idea what the heck they're doing.

Man, I wanted to go to bed over an hour ago, but the Tenri arc on TWGOK just won't let me.
Edit: I hope they end up together in the end :O

Why?! That's even shorter than the Megane na Kanojo OVA.
Are they going for the same style as in Azumanga Daioh, 5 episodes daily with a compilation episode on the weekend? But I guess if the information about 11 "episodes" this season is correct, they won't.
After watching the episode: WTF? That's filled with even more unrelated and random jokes than Azumanga Daioh. Why is there a borg cube just before the ED? And what's up with the preview? ("Endless Christmas" / "I'll keep wearing this for another 8 weeks": Endless Eight remark?)
Was this a Episode 00 by any chance, and we get a real series afterwards?

I would never flame Azumanga Daioh, it's great. But some of the jokes are a little random.

that's what makes it so great

Well, Katanagatari finished, was a fun year.
As for Touma, I'll have to say that as bad as the novels can be, he doesn't quite talk that much in such circumstances

Edit 3: Oh yeah, and then when he finally hits Oriana, he fails to use that opportunity to 1) Incapacitate her 2) Touch the fucking paper that is maintaining the spell affecting Tsuchimikado.
Argh. Edit 2: Totally unrelated, but somebody got Commie to do an encode of Inception because nobody outside of the fansubbing scene seems to use h.264/mkv. I found it kinda amusing. Maybe he just spent "5 minutes" talking about stuff, just like how Planet Namek was supposed to explode in "5 minutes" in DBZ?

MM! was great again this week. The voiceactress of Kirino is just so great in MM! when she voices this little sadistic girl

How many episodes is MM! supposed to go up to? I didn't realize ep 11 was already subbed, I'll go download it now.

He doesn't want to kill Ryner, but the thing in him does. And that thing is the Mad Hero the Garstark king talks about if I'm interpreting this correctly. So that makes Ryner the Lonely Demon.
It's all rather vague. =/

I wanted to know what this "Index" stuff was all about, so I watched Toaru Majutsu no Index (season 1). I haven't seen such a stupid protagonist since Bleach.
Index was okay, although she was only really useful for anything in her combat mode during the beginning. Every magician except for the sword girl was annoying. Accelerator might be level 5 but has intelligence as his dump stat apparently, so stupid and unlikeable.
The sisters were nice. Railgun-chick is awesome, her friend is nice too. The best arc was the "look, a fanservice beach episode"-gotcha arc.
I felt like creating a what I watched, what I expected, what I got for it: + Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/7UyNd.jpg) Disclaimer: While I enjoyed Bleach for quite some time, Ichigo might be one of the stupidest and most annoying main characters I've ever seen in any media.
Not really impressive, especially since there is no real difference between the science side and the magic side. I expected a greater conflict, not just "we have superpowers" vs. "we have superpowers too, but they are different, somehow".
Overall it was not that good but it saves some rating points with the acceptable production quality and a few likeable characters. It's nice that they made a series with the far better characters (Railgun and her friends), so I'll watch that next.
Is Index 2 more of the same, or do they kill the main character off or something? (You might think that at least one enemy in the series understands the concept of "take gun, shoot dude who is immune to magic".)

Uhhhh, Touma doesn't die. Sorry.

Too bad. Is he as annoying in S2 as he was in S1? If you enjoy the series, please don't think that I want to bash it, I just don't like these typical fighting series lead characters (probably because I overdosed on them through Bleach over time).
If it's still basically the same thing and the plot doesn't change, I think I should skip season 2.
