A Certain Magical Index II #11 — What’s My Name Again?
December 17th, 2010
Too late, you’re a bloody heap.
Watching this show first thing in the morning after I wake up is the best decision I’ve ever made. I just drift in drowsy bliss whenever people start rambling.
Impressions:
Also helpful because this episode was dull to the extreme, which certainly wasn’t helped by the art being really really off-model this week. The only thing of major note was that Oriana literally randomly bumped into Aisa, noticed she was wearing a cross, and exploded her chest for it. But then one remembers that she hasn’t been relevant to the plot for the last… I think we’re up to nearly forty episodes now stretching across three years. Even Touma barely cared after throwing his hissy fit over Seiri getting hurt. She didn’t end up a bloody mess on the sidewalk either with a nicotine addled teacher arranging pebbles around her to try to bring her back to life.
Otherwise, it was almost all padding. Hell, it wasn’t until eight minutes in that Tsuchi called Touma and reminded him that there was an arc going on and that they should be getting back to it. The show didn’t, of course. It had to remind people why they should care about Aisa when she’s randomly offed five minutes later. Tsuchi didn’t really either. Oriana showed up and fell backwards on her ass with her legs sprawled for him to jump into her crotch, but he went for the thighs instead. I think the sunglasses are restricting the flow of blood to his brain. There was sort of a fight too but it was brief and the winner obvious before it began. Loathe as I am to admit, Oriana’s tube-top seems invincible and will probably continue defeating her breasts for the rest of the arc.

Weren’t you grievously hurt two episodes ago?
