Touma panics =( Index goes insane! =) Kaori shows her sensitive side.. =? Summary: As midnight approaches on the day Index will reach her limit and die, Stiyl and Kaori allow Touma the remaining time to spend with Index saying their farewells. Touma is called by Kaori who announces their return to finish things up around midnight. She tells him to say goodbye before they

Aaaand, the plot thickens, and Stiyl (what was his real name? I forgot) and Kanzaki now have a personality. Stiyl actually happens to be a tougher character than when we first saw him and he was defeated in a really pathetic way. Why he hates Touma so much in the first place, I [...]

[ Episode 3: Necessarius, Church of the necessary evil ] Loli party! Index’s Joe Pen mode is awesome. There’s something about her that’s so straightforward and yet isn’t exactly robotic either. Anyway, the majority of this episode contained Index and Komoe performing some healing magic (involing a supposedly imaginary angel) that looked pretty sweet. Hearing about Index’s [...]

Just when you thought that Index is a normal bookworm The world came crushing down on Touma after he realizes that he has spent three precious days dreaming about how he is going to molest Index before she forgets about it. The time left for Index before the magicians of Necessarius cleaned her memory with a [...]

Ugh, I’m late for this episode (and all other episodes this week) but I guess it didn’t hurt too this time because it wasn’t that good of an episode in the first place. And, uhm, the art is declining. Such a pity because it was really good in the first episode. The plot [...]

Index Librorum Prohibitorum. Ah, I had my hopes up for this episode, but the first opinion I had after the episode was that it was a mediocre ep, only because of the excessive dialogue. (tbh I had more fun watching Kannagi after Index today, and I haven’t followed that series all the time yet.) Read my lips… [...]

Of the few things left in Bleach that had still kept me a fan, the most immediate one was the arrival of Nel on the motion screen. My first reaction when I first saw her adult form in the manga was, “Damn, Nel’s hawt!” My second, “I can’t wait to see this animated.” In [...]

Last week’s episode left Touma in a fight with Kaori in completely barren section of the city.  How’s he going to get out of this mess? The answer, is he doesn’t, and there’s yet another limit put on his power.  He can’t stop anything when he’s incapable of reacting to it.  It seems obvious but it’s [...]

Is what may happen to Index. Poor Index ;_; Unlike the previous episode, this episode had a large amount of talking that wasn’t mind-numbingly boring because 1. There were welcome (if brief) periods of action 2. It wasn’t just a chracter reeling off facts about magic and 3. it was comprised mostly of character/plot developement. Also, [...]

Before we start, let me assure you that I do not hate this show. Index is like Shana 2nd with everything improved and no Kugimiya Rie (thank heavens), with cool fights and setting that reminds me a bit, if only a bit, of Mx0, one of my favorite mangas of all time. However, I must [...]

Whew, getting back on track now. So much for the sudden leap of chapters for Index, manga-wise, though it didn’t really leap as far as Toradora did. I don’t like Styl taking the spotlight that long anyway. Seriously, the fight this time around was a bit intense, yet also a bit strange, maybe because of me [...]

Naisu badii! The preview to this episode looked promising with lots of action, but dialogue dominated today once again. Accidentally pressed the Publish button earlier, sorry for that. Thought I was clicking on my video window… Kaori has some sexy poses. Her body really isn’t bad either. But… I’m looking forward to the release of the OP single on [...]

  “The other mahou shojous never had it that hard…” When we last left our heroes, Touma carried a bleeding Index all the way to Komoe sensei’s house. Because of the power of his right hand, Touma has to leave the everything in the hands of his teacher- Who isn’t exactly an inspiration of confidence.         The episode begins [...]

I heard the buzz after the first episode aired; minutes into watching it for myself, I knew this was something special. With only one episode in the tank, I could only say that it was one of the best anime starts I had ever seen. Two episodes in, and I was hooked. Now that three have aired, it's time for me to say it: this is the best anime airing right now! Easily.

Last week left Index with quite a grevious wound, Touma angry that there was nothing he could do to help, and Komoe as the only person in the city that could save her.  Where are we going to go from here? Index, in her John’s Pen mode, has to walk Komoe through the process.  And as [...]

      Fire’s got nothing on Touma’s primary hand! So at this point, once again, I am 1 episode behind. Having, already seen the next episode, I won’t ruin anything in this post. I’m beginning to question just how this crazy, ridiculous, hacking right hand of Touma works, or perhaps I am curious as to just how this magic works. As we see in this episode, fire magic just doesn’t seem to work in any way whatsoever. Summary: So as the title and this magician’s prominent red hair say: Touma is going to be dealing ...

So after spending a week contemplating between this, Mouryou no Hako, and Tytania. I decided to blog this series in place of Xamdou during its hiatus.
