Part two of the “Queen of the Adriatic” arc was another winner, though a little short of last week’s classic in the humor department. It was a nicely balanced episode, a kind of all-purpose “Index” entry that should satisfy almost all the fans. This was exposition week for the current […] Read more
This episode was like a love letter to Index fans like me who were bored and disgruntled with where the series was going. Not only did we get an Index-centric plot, we also got nunservice (both Index and Orsola) and some actual combat magic from Index. Out favorite loli nun […] Read more
It really feels like years since I’ve written a blog post on an existing series, but in reality it’s just a bit over a week. Still, this is the first one of 2011 – and the Croce de Pietro arc wraps up after it’s one-week hiatus. There was a whole […] Read more
Definitely a setup episode this week, and it looks like next week will wrap up the Croce de Pietro arc. Not too much happened, really – not a lot of humor, not much action – mostly a lot of talking. What was interesting? Well, we had a seemingly extraneous snippet […] Read more
Oriana certainly took the sluttiness to a new level this week, graduating from her sexy jungle explorer look to some kind of “Princess Jasmine if she were a hooker” ensemble. All in all this was shaping up as a pretty harmless episode with lots of comedy, starting with the interaction […] Read more
That was an altogether fun episode, a nice mix of action (first half) and character comedy (second half). Oriana certainly proved herself to be a mistress of double entendres in addition to dressing like a slutty jungle explorer. She’s a damn fine wizard, though – sidelining Tsuchimikado rather easily just […] Read more
More or less continuing the trend of the first eight episodes, we get an action-packed episode this week to follow up a mostly humorous one. Not that there weren’t comedic moments, but the focus was on Touma’s ability and the advancement of the plot. Oriana Thompson turns out to be […] Read more
That was an altogether enjoyable episode of “Index” for me. The focus was on the comedy, with a bit of the religious/magic side of things, both of which are the modes I prefer for this show. It also featured some good Touma/Mikoto interplay, really for the first time this season. […] Read more
Mercifully brief, the two episode Railgun-hijack is over – though curiously, the second ep didn’t even seem to have all that much Railgun in it. Kuroko’s obnoxiousness level was tones down quite a bit as she spend most of the episode trapped under a table or bleeding out after being […] Read more
I’ll make no bones about it – I don’t especially like Railgun. Oh, I like Biri-biri OK – she’s not the problem with that series, though I don’t especially think she’s a strong enough character to carry a show. But the premise in general and Kuroko especially don’t really do […] Read more
