Yeah... We can get that she has the old "who wants to live forever" issue, but we're told, not shown, that she has that problem. Yeah, she's obviously immortal, but the only reason we know she's unhappy about it is because she goes on about how unhappy she is about it. She's functional as a villain, sure (I've seen much worse), but it would have helped to have shown some of the hell she's gone through in the centuries of her life, and how it's driven her insane to the point of being willing to kill most of the world if she thinks it will end this existence she's trapped in.
Note, I don't say this is a "RUINED FOREVER" kind of thing but a "they could have made a good thing even better" kind of thing.

The action in the movie was very good, and it never dragged.
On the other hand, there were too many characters in the movie, and most of them didn't do enough. In particular, Accelerator, the Sisters and Kuroko could have been dropped. Or, their roles could have been expanded while others were dropped. I was pretty disappointed in seeing Touma and Index apparently piloting an experimental shuttle, too. They have no qualifications for that. So, overall I gave it an average rating. |

Once this aspect of Touma "clicked" for me I better understood his character and began to appreciate it. Without this understanding I know I would have been annoyed at Touma focusing on things like Arisa's dream over the destruction of the Eastern Hemisphere, so I feel it's worth mentioning here . |

Guys, to say he doesn't care about the World is kinda inaccurate.
Quote:
He can't stop Endymion from collapsing, that's up to the guys at the base of the tower, so what he and Index can do is to stop Ladylee's spell from activating. And by saving Arisa, he removed a core component from her spell.

Anyway, for those who bashed about Touma and said they didn't like him and then liked him shame on you all! Anyway, what Primary Consult said matches most my impression of the Toaru franchise. It is a story about a group of normal/bizarre people who learn to protect what is in front of them while they stop worrying about stupid concepts like the greater good. All it takes is a dystopia for someone to realize that instead of trying to save the world, what needs to be done is to heed the call for help in front of you and try to save those who need help and fix their worlds. Touma Kamijou is the primary example for the person who inspired this action from everyone around him. This series talks about a lot of complicated themes. But in the end, Touma can only do what someone like him is able to do. He doesn't think he is amazing. He knows his limitations. For this reason, he tries to save the people in front of him. He does what he can. If we put together our little power then together we might be able to do something great. This is Touma's philosophy and a great one. Touma isn't the character who saves the day and prevents the city from being destroyed if that's something beyond his powers. He is the character who worries first about his friends. He doesn't like abstract concepts as much as down-to-earth concepts and issues that are right in front of him: i.e. Index is hungry--must feed her or be bitten; Mikoto is attacking me, I need to run away or I will be shocked; My grades are slipping. All these incidents are preventing me from doing well in school, I'll be held back a year... if I don't!; these are all horrible examples but you hopefully get the point Anyway, this series is about many characters and their back stories. But Touma's part in it is this... Touma knows nothing about the world. He approaches it with what he knows and does what he thinks is right. But all the while, he heeds everything everyone else does around him and learns from it becoming a better person all the while by getting to know other people. This is who Touma Kamijou is. He believes in "friendship" in a loose sense. Rather he believes in being human and getting to know other people. He doesn't think about it like some crummy normal way of thinking about having multiple people in a group gives you special powers. He just believes that if many people try to work together then they might accomplish something they wouldn't have been able to otherwise. This is why I like Toaru series so much. Within its universe it is extremely consistent. I don't really know of a single inconsistency (that is non-anime related). Kamachi really just keeps expanding the interesting characters in the universe. This movie is the perfect example of how everything in the series works. Granted the movie was much too short (I would liked double the length ) but... that's a little ridiculous to ask from them. Either way, the animation was amazing. The characters were pretty well done and we got to see a lot of Toaru characters. If I have one major complaint... it would be Shutara. Shutara (I think that's the way her name is spelled officially because they misread how to spell it) was way too angry and violent before her character could be expanded upon at all. I knew all the plot before the movie started so that helped a lot... but I notice that for people that do not know the details ahead of time, the movie could have actually been a pretty confusing experience that would have been only slightly seen as "good." So that's my complaint. Well though... I think that the reason the movie isn't quite as good as everything else in the series is because Kamachi writes super long novel series. He thrives on details. So he is probably worse at doing shorter movies, anime, books. He uses extremely complicated plots, which is why he needed the different introductions to the movie and the extra information (my guess). So if Kamachi has one weakness, I'm guessing that he doesn't do well with shorter stories because of his so many good ideas. But I'm guessing this skill is something he will develop eventually. |
