Spring 2011 Anime Preview Table by Cowboybibimbap (1.8 MB)

Personally Kampfer is pretty so-so, just fan service stuff but I expect something happen in second season. As for Maria+Holic, this one can’t stop hurting my stomach from too much laughing, I really recommend this one.

Lotte no Omocha

Lotte no Omocha, is a story about Lotte the princess of monster world, and a succubus, (err and a ten year old girl, and once again I’m not a lolicon) she supposed to start collecting for her Harem just like the queen since to they have to ‘absorb’ you-know-that-man-seed-stuff to preserve their energy when they turn adult, but actually she hate men. And beside her old butler, she didn’t have a single male servants or guards. So to delay indefinitely the harem proposal that have been nagging her by her servants she asked for a human male (which is only exist in the world parallel to their world and apparently the gate the that world have been obstructed for a while). But by luck (or not) her head servant manage to pull and recruit Naoya, a single parent with her nine years old daughter from the human world. What would happen next? well mostly funny stuff but some part is a bit touching family matter.

Ao no Exorcist

New action series that I expecting this season is definitely Ao no Exorcist,  I still follow the manga series and I can say it’s good. I hope the anime also cope up, but this definitely won’t and in a single season (unless they make different ending) considering with the manga progress so far. Here’s quote from ANN:

The official website of A-1 Pictures’ Blue Exorcist (Ao no Exorcist) television anime series began streaming the anime’s fourth television commercial on Monday. The previous commercials are also still streaming from the site.The anime adapts Kazue Katō‘s Blue Exorcist manga about Rin Okumura (Nobuhiko Okamoto), a boy raised by a famous exorcist named Father Fujimoto (Keiji Fujiwara). Rin discovers he is the son of Satan, and he joins the True Cross Academy to become an exorcist. Tensai Okamura (Darker than BLACK, Wolf’s Rain, Kikaider) is directing off scripts supervised by Ryota Yamaguchi (Cutey Honey Flash, Digimon: Data Squad, Sailor Moon Sailor Stars).

The anime will air on Sundays at 5:00 p.m. starting this April.

Deadman Wonderland

Deadman Wonderland is in action-thriller category, tell about a boy who thrown to prison because of false accusation for a gruesome homicide crime. But he didn’t got in normal prison but the worst prison, the “Deadman Wonderland” where the prisoners joining the deathly gladiator game since they all would be executed or they are life-time prisoners. The story should kept you nerve-wrecking and blood probably splattered now and then during the series.

Next, some mini review from current season anime:

GOSICK

GOSICK

GOSICK was one of the two err or three good surprise this season. A mystery, detective series with background Europe around 1930s. Victorique is cute and she give brilliant deduction on every case that offered to her, while Kujo our protagonist is a transfer student form Japan with high chivalry. The series pace is good and kept us interested in the story, no too much gruesome thriller (well some head do roll though) but with decent action. I say this show get 8/10.

Yumekui Merry / Dream-eater Merry

Yumekui Merry

When I heard the title (and the image) the first word comes from dream-eater is succubus, and I thought it was just gonna be another love-comedy-fan service stuff. But this series become another good surprise, an adventure-action story. Merry is actually a living nightmare (err apparently in their world, nightmare live in parallel world and transcend in our subconsciousness) who got ‘materialized’ and lost in the human world, so she trying to get back to where she belong. While Yumeji is a boy who got weird ability to predict people dream by peeking true his finger, but so far he only accurate for people who will getting nightmare. One day Yumeji himself got caught by an evil living nightmare John Doe the ‘Chaser’, and saved by Merry. From then on their adventure begin. I should have predict it since this is JC Staff show (Shana, Index), and Yumekui Merry give some adventure how Merry and Yumeji join hand to fight again evil nightmares and at the same time seeking for a way home. A few touching scene and some action are offered with this series. Again 8/10 for this one.

Infinite Stratos

Infinite Stratos

Flying mecha and a guy in female high school, there’s no more hesitation for not getting this series for me. Ichika is the only male who can use Infinite Stratos or IS, a mecha armor that can operate like you move your own body and can only be operated by female. His ability accidentally discovered and revealed when he mistakenly enter entrance exam for IS academy instead of normal high school. On the new school he found his big sister is actually his homeroom teacher, his childhood friend enrolling there, an arrogant British chick and a brunt of highschooler girls who try to approach him (more like the whole students trying to pick on him though). Bit by bit he learn how to fight with IS and try learning the secret of IS while protecting the pride of his sister as one of the best IS pilot who won the IS Olympic once.

More love-comedy stuff than I thought and some mecha battle action, spice up this series up to now, one can’t be more jealous with a guy who loved mainly by the five harem *cough* I mean heroines with international background (in order of crush err appearance: Japan, Britain, China, France, German). The mecha action is quite smooth with 3D render (though some details on the face during 3D battle can be quite obviously stiff but overall still good enough). I’d say so far it get 7.5/10.

Puella Magi: Madoka Magica

Puella Magi: Madoka Magica

The first episode of Madoka Magica was quite magical, uncommon artistic style and good BGM, with non linear pace in an episode. A very good start, until it get to the third episode.

The dark mood is quite different from normally mahou shoujo/magic girl stuff but this one is more darker than I predict. But still the originality for the story, the art and music still give a very good appreciation for this series. Definitely not for feint heart or more precisely not for people who would fall in love with the characters in a show, because you’ll be shocked. I gave a 7/10.

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?

If you love some comedy and action, this will make you rolling on the floor laughing and experience some thrill on the fight scene. Ayumu is a victim of serial-killer, but he revived as a Zombie by Eu (Eucliwood Hellscythe) a Necromancer. But he’s not the slow zombie type, and his zombie state make his body limitation gone and able to be pushed to it’s limit (and even if cut into two he still revive). His only weaknesses is fire and bright sunny day (he would dry easily if he put directly under the sun).

One day she encountered Haruna the Masou Shoujo (a slip up from Mahou Shoujo/Magic Girls) who fought against with her magical chainsaw Mystletainn (yes a CHAINSAW instead of magic staff of other classic weapon). Megalo are evil monsters who invade our world. And because one or other things, he sucks out her magic power, so now he have to replace her as a Masou Shoujou (and yes with all the frilly dress and stuff LOL even panty shot!). Thus his adventure begin to find out the mystery of his homicide, fought against Megalos and reveal Euclid mystery. I gave this 9/10.

Dragon Crisis

Dragon Crisis

Dragon crisis start with standard cliche stuff, highschooler, a sexy oneechan, a small girl who turned out to be a dragon. In the beginning some term are unexplained, but bit by bit we can start to figure out what the terms means. In their world exist  a lot of artifacts called ‘Lost Precious’, these artifact can give extraordinary ability to it’s user. But not everybody can use them, the user is called a ‘Breaker’ and classified to 10 level. To regulate people who collect these artifacts an international organization is build.

Yuji, our protagonist is actually a level 10 breaker, but since a childhood accident he no longer dealing with Lost Precious. He live alone as a student since his parents are also professional collector who run expedition to find Lost Precious around the globe. One day his elder cousin Eriko, drag him on an Lost Precious hunt but instead they found Rose, a little girl which belong to a legendary red dragon race, who immediately stuck with him. From then on his adventure as a Breaker begin once more. A decent adventure series with some love comedy. I gave this a 7/10.

Fractale

Fractale

The world of Fractale is an imaginary future around 30th century, where people can enjoy life to it’s fullest since their job and stuff can be remotely done by their avatar called the Dopple which running by the Fractale network system. Thus people is no longer bound to live in a single place and can move from one place to another. Clain is an antique 21st century stuff lover, and he didn’t really like to use the Dopple. One day he saw a girl flying while chased by some people who the world claimed as ‘terrorist’. Phryne, that girl actually posses some key role in the administration of Fractale system. After saving her, she left him an artifact that possess an AI Dopple called Nessa. After he and Nessa caught by people who labeled as ‘terrorist’ by the administration, he start to learn the truth about Fractale system and his advanture begin.

With Studio Gibli art style and pace, keep you entertain as Clain start exploring the world of Fractale. A light fantasy adventure with some comedy here and there. I gave this a 8/10.

Star Driver

Star Driver

Star Driver first episode bugs me with the Ginga Bishounen (Galactic Pretty Boy) transformation, I haven’t shock to such gayness since I saw a pink Kamen Rider (although I still continue to watch Kamen Rider Decade since he can transform to other Heisei Rider) and decide to drop it at first since doesn’t really worth it at that time. But as the show progress, I read some positive feedback from some blog. So I decided to continue it, and true enough it really have some epic moments.

Since this is a Mecha Stuff and more and more girls keep appearing~<3 gotta say it really fascinate me, no wonder Bandai produce this. The story is about Takuto who fought against The Glittering Star (kirahoshi) brigade to protect the maiden of the island who sealed their mechas the Cybody in Zero Time field. The pattern is well the standard the protagonist always kick ass, with some romance spice here and there. I gave this a 7.5/10.

Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector

coming very soon

Other:

Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne—!!

First episode is covering the part that they skipped on first season, I think this is supposed to be parallel with the Accelerator and Last Order first meeting arc. (Before Hyouka & Golem Elis appearance).

As usual Touma bad luck, with additional troubles from our loli sister gluttony once again ruin his homework XD moe elementary-child-like sensei probably gonna torture him (mentally?) again later.

Sphinx, small and soft... OK that's not funny

Somehow that guy reminds moe of corp. Giroro (Keroro Gunsou) XD probably since their VA the same~ His rashness to action and careless to the environment (and the part of crying?) is also the same LOL

"REDO MY HOMEWORK!"

"In exchange I'll give you this middle schooler loli!"

"Eehhh???"

"Please gimme da loli." Touma: "See, those god freakin' otaku are all lolicon~"

But What I really wait is the Academy City Daihaisai (Grand Sport Festival) arc, and looks like they gonna cover it later.

Fall 2010 Anime chartfag - warning! 1.4 MB

Autumn has fall~ and my college task also piles up like crazy. Despite that and la Nina that haunt the southeast Asia, somehow I still want to post some (or else I’ll become total wacky I think).

This season is quite special, in the beginning there’s at least 13 show that looks interesting. Buts most of all is To Aru Majutsu no Index II, can’t wait to see the most unlucky guy kick buts of the bad guys~ XD. Other that that there’s a bunch of sequels of previously famous series such as: Sora no Otoshimono – Forte, Arakawa Under the Bridge X Bridge, Motto~ To Love Ru and Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector. (not forgetting other series, that I’m currently not quite interested, such as: Hetalia Axis Power, Hakuoki Shinsengumi Kittan, Letter Bee REVERSE, Pokemon, Fortune Arterial: Red Promise, etc.)

Anyway the shows has started last week~ so in addition this time I’ll add some short first glance review on the first episodes of the shows that I manage to get. The rating is subjective to my taste, so bear with it~

edit: added Yosuga no Sora, Motto To Love Ru review. WHERE”S MY INDEX (T__T)?!?

Tamayura OVA
My Rating: 9/10

Eh, I just realize it is not listed on the chartfag, anyway this is another light Moe series and not much exaggeration on the comedy. The story is about Potte (forgot her real name), a shy girl who loves photography, with her Rollei 35S she captures her daily activities (and also Momoneko-sama the fat cat XD kawaii~). And sometimes her photos capture tamayura (orb of light that often accidentally captured in photos because of reflection of light in the air) thus the title named. I just simply loves this its enjoyable, like Aria series, and her photos are just sooo innocent.

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt
My Rating: 7.5/10

Well the title doesn’t 100% reflect the content. Anyway the story is about two beautiful angels(?) who got kick out to Daten City because of bad behavior, their name is Panty and Stocking (I know, its… ewww). Now, with a priest called Garterbelt, both of them must exorcist evil spirit to gather heavens coin so they can return home. Panty, who love sex (yes SEX), can turn her panties into holy gun while Stocking, who love sweets (to the extreme) can turn her stockings into Japanese swords.

Just by looking at it you can see the art is more like some american cartoons (more specifically: The fairy odd parents-Danny Phantom style although most people seems to compare them with powerpuff girls) even with how the storytelling and how they split the scene and stuff. Which is not really that bad, I kinda like it. But unlike those cartoons, this one is got more action. There’s also a transformation scene which is pretty HOT.

MM!
My Rating: 7/10

MM is an anime about a M guy (yes that M… Masochist) named Sado Tarou (even his name reflected M-ness XD) who try to cure his M-ness by asking help to the second volunteering club in his highschool. But instead he got abused and enslaved (happily) by the girls of the club. This is another comedy-fan service-ecchi show, just like Lady VS Butler stuff (too much resemblance in especially in art).

I’m not sure how to review this, with a bunch of scene where he gets whipped by the girls (especially Mio) with maid, school uniform. although there’s a bit story here and there, but the main storyline still lack of impact. So just sit back and enjoy as cutie Mio spanking Taro while he’s whimpering with pleasure XD.

Star Driver: Shining Takuto
My Rating: 6/10

One word: GAY

Arakawa Under the Bridge x Bridge
My Rating: 9/10

Still the same, still interesting

Super Robot Wars Original Generation – The Inspector
My Rating: 8/10

Finally this time Team ATX got the highlight~ Well if you loves mecha stuff you gotta love this series. Just like the last SRW OG series, this one also packed with epic mecha war. ‘Nough said.

The World God Only Knows
My Rating: 8.5/10

From one of my favorite manga, and especially for all galge (gal game)/dating sims lover, comes the tale of Keima Katsuragi, the self proclaiming “God of Capturing (game) Girls”. One day he accidentally signed up a contract with the new generation hell keeper Elsee. In order to capture  evil spirits that hide in the gap of girls heart, he forced into capturing real girls heart and filling them with love. Keima is practically a genius (or more accurately have a very high IQ), but he despise real girls. So he refer to all kind of galge strategy to capture their hearts.

The anime itself is better than I expected, the art especially, but it’s still too soon to say about the story progress. Especially with the manga still looks like still running for long term, I hope they won’t hang the story awfully.

My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute
(aka “Oreimo” or “Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai”)
My Rating: 8/10

When I was reading the few first chapter of the short novel, it is pretty much interesting. Though you can pretty much guess the theme is about moe stuff with his (the protagonist) sister. I think the pace of the anime is pretty good to follow the novel plot, and the art is good (read: moe). And her galge collection is quite impressive XD

Well here’s the plot from ANN: For several years, Kyousuke’s relationship with his younger sister Kirino has been cold, to the point that they only share greetings. But one day, Kyousuke finds a moe anime DVD fallen in their entry hall. His interest piqued, he looks for the owner, only to realize it belongs to Kirino. He’s shocked, but more surprises lie just ahead…

Shinryaku! Ika Musume
(Invade! Squid Girl)
My Rating: 7/10

There’s nothing like cute little environmental lover squid girl who wants to invade the land~ Despite the moe art and stuff the comedy feels awkward for some reason and lack intensity or impact~

Sora no Otoshimono ~Forte~
My Rating: 8/10

The continuation of the flying panties anime~ XD very hilarious and very ecchi

Bakuman
My Rating: 7/10

I think the anime is pretty decent… but I prefer the manga afterall~

IRONMAN
My Rating: 8/10

Tony Stark suddenly want to invade Japan~ The CG is nice, and they try to maintain western style while combining with anime but, some character become err… eyesore (at least for me). As for the story, they still maintain Tony Stark personality, which is good, but he really have to learn eastern humbleness indeed XD

Hyakka Ryōran Samurai Girls
My Rating: 8.5/10

First thing that I notice is the art style, its quite eye-catching especially the nuance of classic ink combine with the usual battle anime style. Still to early to judge the story but so far its interesting.

Yosuga no Sora: in solitude, where we are least alone
My Rating: 7.5/10

If Aki Sora is not enough you can try Yosuga no Sora… another Incestuous series (What the hell U Japonese? can’t get enough with sibling-in-law and now shifting sibling-in-blood?!?). Haru and Sora parents passed away because of accidents, now both of them return to village where their grandparents where they spent their childhood before. And Haru start encounter with all his childhood friends (read: HAREM) all over again.

Honestly incest series just send chill through my spine, but Sora is just… so… damn… CUTEEEEE~ with tsundere attitude and other character also pretty nice. The UTW-Ryuumaru came uncensored too, thus you can drool at Nao’s rack (and that maid too) and there’s very short scene of their self servicing their lust too~ XD

Can't... resist... her... Kawaiii~ *glomp*

Motto To Love Ru
My Rating: 7/10

To Love Ru is rather dilemmatic, though the plot doesn’t develop anymore but I have to admit this series have one of the most delicious fan service XD Looks like the second seasons also only cover short stories of Rito’s harem LOL.

Upcoming:

To Aru Majutsu no Index II

Summer Anime 2010 Chart, from chartfag.wordpress.com size: 1467Kb

as usual, I probably get most first episode and eliminate until 2-3 show. But the one that probably kept are Sekirei, Ookami. Can’t wait to see the Black Rock Shooter OVA (and more Aki Sora incest action muhuhu~)

Who says that ghost story can’t be entertaining for people who hate horror like me~ BakeMonogatari which literally means GhostStory, provide something different for us.

Araragi Koyomi is not as plain as he looks, although he have average marks and face, he is or was a vampire. But although the vampire curse have ceased within his body, he never that that he would face a brunt of other supernatural phenomenon. One day while climbing the school stairs he accidentally save one of his schoolmate who fall from the spiral stairs, but never did it across his mind that the slim slender girl that she caught would be almost weightless.

Senjougahara Hitagi, a self proclaim tsundere, the enigmatic girl in Koyomi class. Despite her good looks and grades, she is quite anti-social and always caught reading books (though sometimes also magazine or manga) alone in the corner of the class. And her looks is far from a geeky glasses girl image, she is tall slim slender athletic with a charming face. That is what Koyomi thought until she unveil her secrets. She can actually flood out sarcasm and comment a lot particularly to Koyomi.

Oshino Meme, although the name sounds moe (or cute) he is actually looks like a middle age man without any well groomed features. He is almost always seen with a Hawaiian shirts, shorts and sandals. But nevertheless he is Koyomi savior, the one who always help him to face the unnatural phenomenon that arise before him including which case that restore his humanity. As He is an expert of “abnormality”.

Hanekawa Tsubasa, she is the model of the true model students. Good, smart and athletic, her grades even ranked #1 among the school (I can also add good *cough*sexy*cough* body particularly a huge rack XD). Apparently nothing is perfect in this world, and this also true for her, she is technically an orphan, and her step parents doesn’t really treat her good.

There are also a few more girls, including Koyomi little sisters. But the anime and novel translation haven’t cover all, so I’ll save it for another time.

What made me interested in this is mostly because of the conversation that the characters had, while many mystical reference added in, their argument can be exquisite and at the same time mind tickling, fun and stir some laugh. It’s interesting how the author experimenting with words, and how the same line that is used in different situation can be resulted in different spur of emotion.

The anime itself is featured with unique and artistic style, unlike standard anime, while maintaining as much dialogue as possible from the novel.

Autumn 2009 Anime Season (952 kb)

It’s already August and September means new seasons is coming. The most anticipated series probably is Darker than Black 2: Comet of Gemini, To aru Kagaku no Choudenjinbou (A Certain Scientific Railgun), and of course the second season of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu.

From the first season Darker than Black is something that have been missed by all gar anime lover. In their world a mysterious area or “gate” appearing suddenly and swallowing the view of the real stars in the sky. And almost at the same time, people with supernatural abilities, which also known as “contractors” kept popping here and there. Although the truth about those still not unveiled to the public, government do realize their existence and of course utilize them, and also secretive military organizations. Hei, our protagonist was one of the secret organizations member nicknamed the Black Reaper. After he reveal his organization’s evil intention and betray them in the first season, now once again he must fight against the remain of his organization and other contractors.
Other than mystery that keeping the viewers guessing, this series also packed with action as Hei himself is very agile in fighting and making you on the edge of your seat with his movement.

To aru Kagaku no Choudenjinbou (A Certain Scientific Railgun) series is originally a manga, a side story from To aru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magical Index). The story is about adventure one of the heroine of that series, Misaka Mikoto, and her friends in the Academy city. For those whose not familiar can read the synopsis on ANN or mine here. Unlike Index, this series is more about troubles that happen around the academy city, in short people who abuse technology and their espers ability.
Of course as a Mikoto fan, I also expecting her dere-dere reaction, especially when Touma pop-up. But other than that, her ability is something else, the railgun is not just her only ability people. You can expect some action and slight comedy here and there, personally this is also one of the series that I’ve been waiting.

Other series that would be interesting is Kämpfer, another series that derived from a light novel. It tells about Natsuru Senou, a regular high schooler whofinds out he gain supernatural ability along with transformation into… a girl XD. Luckily he can switch whenever he wants, but problem arise as Sakura, the girl that he got crushed on turn to like his girl mode and moreover he also drawn in to the battle of Kämpfers.

Next season summary (795 KB)

It’s June already~ and I barely review things with jobs on the line and so on. Anyway looks like the series that I confirmed to follow gonna be Spice and Wolf II, I already read the novel though, and I can assure (if they they don’t change the story) it’s gonna be interesting. For this series I gonna review further (hopefully) this weekend.

Other series that might interesting to watch especially for type-moon (Fate S/N, Tsukihime, Kara no Kyoukai) fans probably CANAAN which adapted from the visual novel 428 of course by type-moon. here’s a quick quote from ANN:

The official Japanese website for the anime adaptation of Sega and Chunsoft’s 428 ~Fuusa Sareta Shibuya de~ visual novel has launched with the announcement of the anime’s official title: CANAAN. The visual novel for the Nintendo Wii tells a present-day story about a detective, a young man, a virus researcher, a freelance writer, and a cat mascot character who are brought together by bizarre events with worldwide implications in the Tokyo neighborhood of Shibuya. Sword of the Stranger director Masahiro Ando (not to be confused with the similarly named Sailor Moon animation director Masahiro Ando) is overseeing the animators at P.A. Works (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society, Darker than BLACK).

And, well ecchi anime lovers probably gonna wait for Princess Lover! which totally looks like another Harem anime which is adapted from *cough*eroge*cough*. For other interesting series that I gonna peek is probably Bakemonogatari.

Here’s a quote from ANN

“When Science crossed path with Magic, this Tale begin.”

When this series begin I not really put into much thought about this, but once I saw the first episode I was enticed to collect it. Since it came from the same production house, you can say it’s replacement for Shakugan no Shana. Well this series, just like Shana, also adapted from novel of the same name. Although this has the same vibe, but the story is completely different of course and this one is more Sci-fi too (which really make me more interested). Although after watching more than twenty episode, the arcs felt like separated story altogether but somehow (I feel) it would get connected later on.

The story circles around Kamijyo Touma, a highschooler in an Academy City. But unlike common highschool or normal academy, in their world, they manage to develop people ESP ability. The Academy City specifically train their student to grasp their ESP ability, although it seems they can’t just choose ability that they want. To classify based on strength they put level from zero through five, and Touma apparently is in the bottom level although his ability is rather unique.

Unknown to him before, magic is also exist in their world. Since the major religion, mostly christian, forbid the practice of magic their existence is well hidden. But fearing for the power of magic, the church decided to gather people who practice magic for “research” of their own for the purpose, of course, finding the strength and weaknesses of magic.  They are called the Church of Necessary Evil or Necessarius for short. And to top of it they manage to gather most of the precious magic grimmoires or tome approximately around 103.000 books, but what’s more interesting is where they hid such big secrets.

Touma is not exactly a model student but he’s also not a “normal” esper, to say, well he’s brimming with minor misfortune XD . From accidentally slipping because of empty cans, accidentally broke his cellphoen, debit card and to meeting with troublesome girls.  But he also not someone who stand aside when people is in trouble. And luckily, though it’s passive, his power relly helping him to defend himself.

Until one day he met a girl hanging “aired” in his veranda when he gonna airing his futon (bed).  The girl wear sister clothes (though it’s quite fancy like one of those healing priestess in RPG, but it explained later on that it is really a special pieces of garment) and introduce herself as Index, a member of Necessarius.

But before the heroine whose name used in title appear, he also unfortunately has some trouble with a girl. Well not in relationship stuff (though it probably is in the future). Misaka Mikoto,  she is one of the top level five ESPer in the city, a Electricity/Thunder manipulator. While trying to get rid of two punks who try to tease her, apparently to save their ass, but instead he got chased by a pack of em’. To top of it in the end she still beat the crap out of them, which put his effort to nothing. And in the end he even pissed her off, but thanks to his ability, no matter how strong her attack it’s futile against his abiity. But that’s only it since his ability is only able to perform cancellation, he don’t have any offensive other than normal physical attack. But of course he didn’t do anything to her afterall. But the his misfortune doesn’t end here today. After she pulls out such bizarre thunde, apparently it messed up the electronic application around the city, and also his dorm. Since it’s summer he get a free sauna in his room with the AC down XD

And after all that ruckus he met Index. But her problem arise when a Magician came to claim her. Index tag hima as a Magic Cabal, a group of Magician that after her for she is holding the biggest collection of Grimoirres with her. Where do you ask? since she is prettty empty handed you can guess where she kept it. Yup, in her head or to be exact she memorize em’ all. It is stilll not clear how they manage to put that much in. And this is where Touma real series of battle begin.

The two Heroine: Index and Misaka

So far the series is quite entertaining although to some people the explanation can be long and confusing. But I like it since it have more contents to it. And although the series almost over the novel still have much more and running~

Well, that’s it for now but I really wanna make more. At least one post for each arc~
