Lunch Hour Anime Special

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT. Plus, we finally have some semblance of an idea of what the big bad's plan is. It only took a whole season, but at least we got a climactic battle with a 2-bit side-villain. And, true to this show's style, we finished things up with a way-too-long infodump. We that a trip down memory lane for the season and cover the highlights. Ah, Index, farewell.

Toma's teaching harem-building 101 as the season comes to a close. Er, I mean, we get lots of character development. Did anybody else realize Index and Misaka had never actually met before?

Even for this world, the ending savior mechanism is a bit of a stretch. But really, where is this going? Each arc feels disconnected from one another in a world that's begging for a big bad.

After this "date," is Misaka's harem getting out of control? We add them all up, and it's in the thousands, folks. Speaking of them, what exactly happened to the other sisters? In a show that seems to be all about not believing authority, do you trust them now? Oh yeah, and there was an Aztec magic dude that show up to provide some context. You know, a lot of this show's problems can just be chalked up to teenagers being stupid/horny. Lunch Hour Anime Special is a Night of the Living Geeks podcast.

Finally, Alex reveals the true history of Kanzaki's pants. Andy's disappointed by what should have been an awesome fight after three episodes of buildup. We're left wondering: when do these cool ideas actually show up with a badass episode? Does the overarching story even matter for the viewer right now?

It took about 3-4 episodes, but idiot Toma finally caught up to the plan we hatched at the beginning of this arc. But hey, Accelerator's WTF face was worth it. Maybe there's a genuinely good fight coming up? We'll see how Toma's special touch wins the day. Lunch Hour Anime Special is a Night of the Living Geeks podcast.

Hooo boy this show and its emo infodumps. This episode was so much talking on a birdge. How much is this show even connected to the first few episodes? Does Toma's amnesia matter? Does Index matter? I mean, it really feels like no. But hey, at least we get ourselves an interesting-ish new villain? Lunch Hour Anime Special is a Night of the Living Geeks podcast.

The Ars Magna and alchemy is pretty cool as Izzard shows himself to be a badass even though his motivations are kinda lame. We pick apart how the power works (or don't), and talk about the nifty implications of when Izzard can't bend reality. Toma's getting a harem and we can't really understand why. So let's ignore that and explore what happens now that Deep Blood is out in the world. Does this become a vampire show now? Plus, if Toma's arm came off, why couldn't we put it on somebody more competent? Lunch Hour Anime Special is a Night of the Living Geeks podcast.

Deep Blood is cool, but also hella emo. Just like everybody else in this show. And what's with the dissonant music choices? You know what did work, though? The concept of alchemy and bending reality to your will. And Gregorian building destruction. And creepy cafeteria moments. We just can't seem to decide if this show is good or bad.

This show loves its infodumps. We get alchemists, Deep Blood, selective reality, all kind of awesome concepts that are cool but that just don't matter or become too predictable. Plus, we get a literal infodump with a guy reading a file folder while it magically floats around. But you know what does deliver? Toma's creepy, pervy friends.

Suddenly, vampires! But also more infodump and more emotions. It's a little bit a shame that this show has such a penchant for overcontextualizing, because there's some crazy neat stuff going on here. Index in full-on badass mode is super cool! And we ask the real questions about Toma's anti-power: what happens when he tries to masturbate? And how do half-pants' boobs always seem to point up to the sky?

Holy crap! Index goes full-out, but our characters make a lot of questionable decisions on the way to an episode that's still 50% infodump. We evaluate Toma's decisions and try to figure out a better solution for Index's problem. This show has plenty of character development, but not a lot of plot motion. In the end, we make up our headcanon that we kinda like better. Lunch Hour Anime Special is a Night of the Living Geeks podcast.
