Index II Episode 11 review

Toaru Majutsu no Index- The second real anime series I follow. It used to be Angel Beats and Library Wars. So now we're up to episode 11. Close to the end of Daihasei Festival Arc.


So far, the anime follows the book quite well (I do read the light novels, but in Chinese)

The novels I have right now... 8-22

I would say the Daihasei arc has gone on way too long. Even for a fan like me. Parts of the anime is unnecessary (huge amounts of filler text...) But anyways, back to the main point of this post

The story picks up from where Ep. 10 left us, Kamijo finally meets Mikoto's mother, Misuzu.

Eh...? 

It follows on to the Mother-daughter teasing

I wonder....

And Toma's father usual

Obvious response

While Index tries to bite Toma for his comment (Ep 9 recap...)

The scene then shifts outside to a fruit juice stall, and Index, being herself, wants a cup of juice

I think Toma's face is not well drawn in this scene

The scene shifts to a Mikoto, where she is trying to find her mother to tell her of an change in time (Bread-eating race? That's what the novel says...)

It's a challenge to capture this screen (and the certain Lesbian, Kuruko

We then see Toma hugging Index.... To measure her waist size (Because Toma doesn't have a ruler on him)

Try not to hug someone in a cheerleader costume.. ok?

And misinterpreted by a certain lesbian

With obvious results

Notice Toma's hand...

Index quietly hiding behind Mikoto and Kuruko.

Taken directly from the novel's illustration

Toma and his luck.....

No matter how you look at it, this is a very bad day for Toma

 A place not too far away from what just happened...

Am I the only one who spot what's wrong with this?

When Toma gets rid of Komoe, they chase after Thomson with Stiyl. But...

Tsuchimikado and Thomson CQB

Thomson wins, Tsuchimikado is stalled. Thomson sees Himegami's necklace...

Boom I guess.. (this is the Time Toma declares war on Thomson in the novel)

The episode ends with Komoe trying to revive using magic. Stiyl notices and tries to help. Leaving Toma on his own to find Thomson

"Personal response..." Misaka Wonders

This is definitely one of the least entertaining episodes in the Index II arc. The art style has degraded a bit. Some things just look awkward. Personally, i don't know if the animators are slacking off or it's close to Christmas. However, this is close to the original novel.

This arc has been dragged on way too long. Most of us are sick of Toma running around the city looking for Thomson..
