Review of A Certain Magical Index

I punch once every 4 episodes with the power of friendship to beat arbitrary enemy characters with origins and names picked out of a random word generator that have no reason to be evil other than a nebulous circular logic'd notion of retribution or some shit. Over half the characters can be classified as barely teen lolis who all fall under the spell of the main characters signature line "I don't need a reason to punch the enemy every 4 episodes, other than I should." Her eyes widen, mouth agape. And now every time I see you I'll say baka, blush, and smash cut awayto a cartoon bonk sound.

No story plot point makes sense. No characters motives make sense. One 15 year old character is ordained by a super space computer and a spooky undisclosed unnamed secret government to battle and kill 20,000 clones individually inside a single city to "Level up". He's already killed 10,000 clones and needs to kill 10,000 more. The character is only ever shown killing 1 clone a day. Assuming he kills one clone a day, it would take him over 27 years to kill the other 10,000. Assuming he started killing clones since the day he was birthed, he would have had to kill 1.8 clones a day to reach his current kill count. This is asinine and I need go no further. This kid is MMORPG grinding clone EXP to "Level Up"? That's really the story you're going to go with? After he gets punched by the protagonist, he loves and becomes a clone caretaker btw. You know, because he only murdered 10,000 of them in cold blood. The clones who all share consciousness also have no problem with this.

Music is fine, you don't notice it. It plays the standard ominous tones to tell you when the character wont succeed or someone is evil, and it plays happy tones when the character will succeed or the character is not evil. The art is fine for the era. The only enjoyment that can be derived from this is the authors laughable attempt at writing anything worth while, as it's painfully obvious they lack any semblance of the basic art of storytelling.
