A Certain Magical Index #15 — Yes We Can
January 15th, 2009
Change we can believe in.
Impressions:
An extremely silly episode for the first 18 minutes or so. Then the exposition kicked in and I began chatting on IRC instead of paying close attention. Around the point where they had the divine chart up, I pretty much lost interest entirely. Something about the Angel Fall mussing with people’s brains and needing the Imagine Breaker, yada yada. Even the parts before the Angel Fall happened were relatively amusing. I especially enjoyed the accidental purchase of the porn video. Very little actually progressed in any way though. We meet Touma’s family (along with the clumsy exposition of Touma saying "this person is my father" after greeting him as his father), although his cousin looks like MIkoto and his mother looks like Index. That’s all kind of Oedipal in ways I don’t even want to think about.
18 minutes of fun is certainly much better than this show normally manages, so I’m cool with the episode. Of course, Kuroko as Obama was pretty hilarious as well. Topical jokes! Ha! No, the OP or ED hasn’t aired this week either, so don’t get your panties in a twist over that. Just a fun little episode ending with the usual dull exposition. This time, featuring a camera shot literally rotating 360 degrees around the table. Exciting.
