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. | ||

This is the one that's about some guy who interacts with a bunch of characters from Lovecraftian lore. Problem is, the episode was 4 minutes long (More like 2 since the ED doesn't count) and was animated in Flash. I can't even describe how pissed I feel right now. 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? | ||

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? | ||

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. =/ | ||

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".) | ||

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. | ||
