We’ll probably be too occupied to know what we’re doing…
Pretty much, yeah. The animu’s being stalled on the episodic posts, the webcomic’s on a standstill o’ limbo, and either I’m just lazy, or I’m too preoccupied with something else. But screw that, it’s about time I activate CAPTURING GOD MODE!
Since I need to go out for today, either half of today or the entirety of Tuesday will be spent on epic animu marathon to dispel my backlogs, and prolly do something about the webcomic the next day. But as all godmods have in common, this is going to be a double-edged sword. I might end up doing nothing the next day, or play a marathon scheduled eroges for moar moe madness. Well, the latter seems to be in good terms for me.
Life? What is that? Is that edible?
This is a nice flash I found on the IOSYS site. Cirno ⑨ goodness as she gets pwnt by TRAINS, POWER POTS, AND SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER!
バカ！バカ！バカ！
Whew, getting back on track now. So much for the sudden leap of chapters for Index, manga-wise, though it didn’t really leap as far as Toradora did. I don’t like Styl taking the spotlight that long anyway.
Seriously, the fight this time around was a bit intense, yet also a bit strange, maybe because of me getting estranged on the means of magic. But hey, it’s quite good. There’s still incantations, and the powers wielded are kinda impressive compared to the elementalists on the esper side. Aside from level 5 railguns by Misaka Mikoto, I haven’t seen anybody else wield a powerful 3000 degree Celsius flame like Styl did.
Where’s Airman where you need him?
I know I do Negima for keeps, but to be frank, I don’t know what runic whatevers work for the series’ magic. It seems that there is always a need for “placeholders” in order to meet the requirements needed for magic to manifest. Examples would be Styl’s “runes” for Innocentius and fire magic, and Index’s Angelic Spell of Healing (which will be discussed later on to prevent spoilers for those late ones). Now, there’s still the usual incantations to call out the powers of the magic spell/s in question, but having placeholders kinda makes it unique as to identify a certain spell’s effectivity. This shows up when Toma leaps from his apartment and Innocentius didn’t chase him because the runes didn’t go far from floor where his room is.
There’s also a fine line distinguishing espers from mages. Mages can’t use psychic abilities, while espers can’t use magic. One trying for the other would result in major brain damage or a coma. Meanwhile, level 0, or normal human beings unaltered for psychic means or not knowledgeable in extensive magic would be able to use either ability ONCE. Another try would fry their brains as well.
Shatter magical flames like ice! HOW GODMOD CAN YOU GET?

It’s that time where you can smell the suffocating aggression.
Yup! It’s that time again for us SWR and IaMP people. The tournament for Kansai Taikai the 4th is going to be on November 1st, which might be up on the Japanese IRCnet channel. Depending on how time permits, I might as well tune into if I have the chance. The replays may also be provided by both IaMP and SWR Mizuumi guys, and I might get a copy for posting here as well, so stay tuned.
The end and the beginning of a Decisive Battle.
Finally, after two or three weeks of watching animu, the schedule for fall is complete. In order to squelch some time off trying to do backlog crap about randomly-themed shows, I decided to pull out Macademi Wasshoi! and Kemeko DX from the schedule. Well, that’s two series down, and four more to slave myself with. Apparently the remaining shows sport some kind of interest for a story junkie, and somehow the art catches my eye well enough for me to continue watching, which sums up to the former fact. That being said, the shows Akane Iro Ni Somaru Saka, To Aru Majutsu No Index, Toradora!, and Kannagi will be retained for normal episodic pleasure.
I guess that returns us a bit to regular programming…
