天下制覇

And how.

Impressions:

Yawn. A relatively uneventful setup episode featuring four new characters, all of them breasts. On the esper side, we have lonely Index’s boring new shy genius friend Hyouka’s boobs, and on the mage side, the gothic golem summoner Sherry’s boobs. Kuroko surprised me a little bit by actually being pretty decent in a fight, until she was grabbed by the slow moving stone golem, but if she had been trying to kill Sherry, I’m pretty sure she could have done it. This does hurt Sherry’s credibility as a threat a little bit because she was just nearly beat by a tertiary character whose sole purpose is to nuzzle developing electro-bosom. I’m pretty sure these golems aren’t going to do particularly well against somebody who can dispel magic with a touch anyway.

Otherwise though, a very dull episode. Lots of clumsy exposition from Himegami about Hyouka’s boobs and their mysterious Counter Stop ability, and lots of Index making her first friend aside from Touma, Kanzaki, Stiyl, Komoe, Himegami, and Sphinx. Oops, did I just undermine the point of 75% of the episode? Whoopsies. Hyouka’s chest is smart and mysterious, which makes Himegami suspicious. Talk about a shocker.
