or two different shows
Beside the science-versus-magic theme (which in itself isn’t much of a dichotomy anyway since how is a fire-starter fundamentally different from a lighting-bolter?), To Aru Majutsu no Index 7 feels like a completely different show. It’s as if the writers has said, “Oh shit, we fucked up. Let’s reset the whole show with new characterizations and direction.”
And I was so hyped up about seeing this on the screen.
Of the few things left in Bleach that had still kept me a fan, the most immediate one was the arrival of Nel on the motion screen. My first reaction when I saw her adult form in the manga was, “Damn, Nel’s hawt!” My second, “I can’t wait to see this animated.”
*shudders*
Something is very inconsistent here. If Index knows that the knowledge of mages and magic can corrupt and destroy a human’s mind, why then does she still so eagerly tell Touma more of the Necessarius and the 103,000 volumes? Also, how does one person’s memorization of some knowledge can prevent that knowledge from becoming known to another?
With dialogs like this, how can you not go crazy with this show?
The writers must have been on crack when they wrote the script, which I am not complaining at all since I have not been so cracked up by a show’s dialogs or tossed around by its wackiness as this. Every minute of the episode, I don’t know what to expect next. The plot twists and turns, my head spinning as to where this show is going. One moment he seems to be saving a helpless girl from some delinquents, the next he is actually saving them from her. Another moment he is turning into microwave dinner, the next he is equal with a level-5 psychic, whatever that means!
