Toaru Majutsu no Index II – Episode 2

That’s an Archbishop… what…

Spinning maids are an ordinary daily occurrence now

What’s with your face…

*facepalm*

Talking floating beachballs are an ordinary daily occurrence now

You just annoyed the wrong people

We welcome Stiyl and a new girl known as Archbishop… her name is Laura Stewart. I’m sure we haven’t seen her in the first season. Laura goes on about a powerful book ‘Liber AL vel Legis’ that can only be deciphered by one person, Orsola Acquinas but they were both ‘stolen’ at the same time…

Seems like Touma’s still suffering from his amnesia back in season one and doesn’t remember much.

As he returns home he finds that Index has been kidnapped and gets a letter about their meeting place. But he finds out it was Stiyl so he relaxes.

Now we get more information about the ‘events’. The prime suspects to the book and the person that were ‘stolen’ are Amakusa Catholics. The Roman Catholic Church was transferring the book to Japan and I assume it was robbed then. Also the Archbishop, or Laura, can’t contact Kanzaki, who is the former Amakusa head. So she asks Stiyl to do something before something silly happens.

On the way to the meeting place, Touma meets a sister wanting to go into academy city. Apparently she’s being pursued.

Agnese Sanctis, another sister reports to Stiyl about conflicting reports and she doesn’t know if the book is in their possession yet. Touma makes his arrival, and we find out that the sister he’s with is Orsola Acquinas. But she is quickly taken away as the Amakusa Catholic make their move.

So, more info as Index tells them not to worry, even though the Amakusa can jump through a vortex to escape far away, they can only do it when the date changes so they have four hours. Index locates the only vortex they can use and they all set up camp.

Elsewhere, the Amakusa begin to move for the escape.

Togainu No Chi – Episode 1

So back to blogging the animes!
If you have been reading my site, I have blogged the entire first series of Highschool Of The Dead, quite a good horror, zombie-apocalypse anime.

This anime is brand new, it may be Yaoi – which is boy-love orientated, but I have nothing against that and with it aside, it looks like a decent watch.
Just a quick glimpse of what it is – it is set in a post apocalyptic future after World War 3, were street fighting has become the rage. We follow lead character – Akira who was jailed for a crime he didn’t commit. He is then told he will be given his freedom if he hunts down ll Rey, the strongest guy in Toshima (a city ruled by a crime syndicate), he accepts.

So now you know the basic story, let’s get straight to the first episode.

I quite liked the opening scene, basically saying the streets of what was Japan are now stained red with blood. It is no longer recognisable as a place people used to inhabit – this is the hell it has come to now.
And wow at the opening sequence. Showing us a few of the characters to come, with some damn good music! If this anime carries on with the heavy stuff, I’m going to quite like this.
