Review of A Certain Magical Index
'Index features a boy who's suppose to be 'unfortunate' and weak, yet he's the main of the series and is the typical created-to-be-loveable type who'd do anything to help a friend or those in need; a tsundere 'strong girl' loiters around him and a mystery, fairly happy-go-lucky magic girl falls into his care. This anime is a very safe option if you're; fairly new to anime, don't have high expectations of the series (things can only get better type of disposition) or you're confident you can't get enough of the; superpower anime with a basic plot, layback male lead, tsundere female, moe girls - type ofseries.
If the above sounds familiar, yet not in a good way, then avoid this series, as many well-used wirting tools are present:
- passive male we're suppose to belive is the 'underdog' dispite being the main quickly proves himself
- a tsundere female who behaves in a bratty, irratic manner for no particular reason
- a cute magic girl with a mystery past who is in need of protecting
- there's always a method in which a writer can avoid killing off a character who should be dead
- though the girls aren't entirley defenceless, they must become damzels in distress in order for the male to protect them
- good over evil - you're in the wrong! + power of love/friendship + "I'll protect her"
Though I'm aware many people find the above traits cute, so if this appeals; tune in.
Again, great starter anime, yet nothing too special IMO.
My spelling is awful by the way. ;)
