Accelerator, you damned pedophile

Impressions:

Well, that was abysmal. As if making up for the relative lack of clumsy exposition and dialogue last week, this episode was full of it, with at least two thirds of it delivered by Last Order’s Misaka wa Misaka’s shrill chirping. Blah blah blah, knows everything about Accel because she’s the ‘system admin’ of the Sisters and is basically Index from the first arc sans the headchewing. Blah blah blah virus blah blah blah eating her brain. The talking heads routine got so bad at points that the director decided a 30 second close-up on some random food would be better than watching them chatter. This was trumped only by the following close-up on the back of Accelerator’s chair. Let’s be fair though, it looks like a nice chair, especially for some Japanese diner.

It’s hard to swallow Accelerator as much of a protagonist, or even an antihero, after he took so much joy in killing the Sisters. I have no problem with him beating up the random punks that tried to jump him. All he really did was break some fingers… aside from his powers automatically reflecting the attempted ESP beam as well I suppose. That’s about as much credit as I’m willing to give him for now. Maybe next episode he’ll redeem himself a little more, but after the wholesale slaughter of a few thousand and abandoning Last Order Misaka wa Misaka at the diner, I wouldn’t count on it.

Fix the loli, you crazy douchebag.
