To Aru Majutsu no Index - 09

Great episode, in terms of action! I thought it was going to be another ‘those are only illusions, which are not real’ kind of corny episode right in the middle of the running time, then I found out about the real issue. I thought it was a pretty cool fight, and smart of Touma to just figure out like that. I guess my only complaint is… Touma was really able to ignore the pain of a dismembered limb, really? Styl’s explanation seemed accurate: the pain numbed his brain. Berserk!Touma is pretty awesome to watch.

Index took it to herself to take care of Aisa, so there’s another person (and a cat!) living under Touma’s roof now. That’s interested, and I hope it brings more color, especially in terms of character development. Touma seems to be the kind of character that people just unconsciously depend on (proved by Index, who, demands food from him even in her sleep).
