Rainbowsphere

The most anticipated anime in my list beckons! And to think we’re late at doing this. Well, it’s still top priority, so I think I better fix my time up so I can get on with this better.

Or I can just borrow a Lunar Dial…

Suddenly, fall anime OPs are getting better.

After such a gloriously splendid OP, we immediately follow underway ownage courtesy of Kamijo Toma, your typical “Unlucky Guy”. Or is he typical? It seems that bad luck follows him wherever he goes. He’s got bad guys after him, he always break things by accident, he gets bad grades, and now he’s at odds with “The Railgun” Misaka Mikoto. How screwed can you get?

Hey. Do you know about railguns?

Now, that makes me think that if coins are the trick of the trade, then Misato should meet Negima’s Tatsumiya Mana. Coin-katta versus railgun? GLORIOUS!

The Imagine Breaker. The right hand that is the bane of God. Any anomaly, whether be it magic, psychic abilities, miracles, divine phenomena, or acts of God, will be reduced to nothing as long as it touches this hand. Pretty dandy power, you say? I think not. Since good luck as categorized along the lines of divine phenomena, the person wielding the hand shall also have his good luck reduced to zero. And so, Toma is going to be at his worst for the rest of his life, until the day he saw a nun on his balcony.

BAD DOG!

The nun seems to be in dire distress… or rather, dire hunger. So Toma feeds her with a spoiled hotdog sandwich, only to face the consequences of a “bad bite”. Bad Toma! BAD TOMA! If you’re responsible enough to help a damsel in distress, you better do it right! Then again, you don’t have anything edible in your fridge anyway, so what gives?

OMNOMNOM!

The nun then introduces herself as Index, a nun of Necessarius, a sector of England’s church that deals with magic. She says that she currently holds more than 103,000 volumes of the Index-Librorum-Prohibitorum. And Toma goes “Yeah, right. Magic. RIGHT.” That’s a given. He lives in a city full of advanced technology. Anything can be achieved as long as you have psychic capabilities. Pryokinesis? Electrostatic capabilities? Teleportation? Yeah, those are possible. But magic? Who’s kidding who?

Index doesn’t believe Toma either. Psychic powers don’t seem to be under the category of magic, though it can be explained as something along the lines of inherent anomalies or something of the supernatural. Of course, there is no such thing, since anything that is not normal is categorized as either a phenomenon, or witchcraft, if we are to base it along the lines of what the Church perceives. Not all acts of science are depicted on the latter category either. So how does one have a right hand that can nullify anything that’s abnormal? It sounds fishy in the definition itself!

Yandereloli on the loose! In the truck, NOW!

The two then have a contest on whether their facts are true. Index tries to prove Toma that her garb is made from impregnable materials (it is stated that unless Saint John’s dragon descends to Earth, the robe and its wearer cannot be harmed by anything), while Toma tries to prove his psychic ability by negating the robe’s powers with his Imagine Breaker. The robe lost, and we see glorious tsurupettan fanservice with a bit of Censorship-san’s elements littering here and there, while Index peppers a Toma with munches.

LOLITALITY!

Okay, so Imagine Breaker does exist, and the garb being destroyed means it’s made of magic. Both proved their points, so now what? Toma insist that Index should stay so that she’ll be safe from the “enemy” she was talking about. Index, hesitates, and leaves however, while stating that Imagine Breaker may have been negating his luck as well. Isn’t it sad, Tomacchin?

Split-second tsundere Mikoto!

Misaka then returns, asking Toma for another “match” since the previous one resulted as a “loss”, though this is purely Misaka’s perception on things. This shows the borderline tsundere in Misaka, which is I think is going to be interesting when compared to Index. Her being voiced by Rina Sato makes her interesting enough, too. Will thus further continue to more challenges and one-sided rivalries, much to Toma’s chagrin? Bad luck, perhaps? Too bad nobody’s going to help you when you’re in a pinch, Tomacchin.

Teach me, Loli Komoe-sensei!

Komoe-sensei! So moe! She’s being voiced by Kimiko Koyama, too! I mean, she’s the voice behind Litte Lattius, my favorite teacher from Prism Ark! And the fact that both are underdevelpoed lolis even though their age says another thing is also similar! Komoe-sensei got every single bit of Litte-sensei’s voicing, and the sobs! OH, THE SOBS! You can’t help by soften your knees in pitiuful agony after making the loli cry! Litte-sensei! Komoe-sensei! WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

And Kimiko being an eroge seiyuu means she moans. You have the privelege to find that one out, HEE HEE HEE!

Yuka Iguchi is certainly doing a good job in voicing Index. Her cutesy voice fits the childish demeanor of the normal Index. However, I’d like to hear her do the rendition of the “other” Index when her self-preservation mode is activated. We’ll just have to see ep 2 for that I guess. The ep ends with Index injured, as well as the introduction of the “Magicians”, mainly by Styl’s entrance. Moar Komoe-sensei moe too. Toma’s going to level up some GAR now, no?
