To Aru Majutsu no Index-tan - Discussion thread

[Pellissier]

This thread is meant to discuss all the brief DVD specials of To Aru Majutsu no Index. This includes all the 5 minutes specials that came out as dvd extra and the alike, past, present and future. For the moment we only have:

• To Aru Majutsu no Index-tan

But certainly more will come. Of course you can discuss specials that are not listed above, they just have to fall into the category of dvd extra, being no more than 5-8 minutes long. Play nice with your fellow members and have fun.

Meh, I never really understood the entertainment value of the Shakagan no Shana-tan episodes at all so it's the same feeling for me for these specials of Index.

However, out of curiosity the scene where 3 questions were asked about Kanzaki's seiyu aka Itou Shizuka. Is it true she got ridiculously drunk at a party?

[jwai]

Two parts made me LOL:

Spoiler:

- Sticking finger down Index's mouth so much that she puked.
- Pierce making Kanzaki quote 7000 yen (Nanasen) so much that she made a mess of him.

Not sure what that thing across Index-tan's left eye is.

Since the extra explicitly stated that she did, I have no doubt about it. Shizuka Itou is known not to hold liquor well, and to become very... er... touchy-feely-aggressive when she is drunk. So: Yup

[Chaos2Frozen]

Lol, I thought they would use a scene from the Shana-tan special, but I didn't expect them to blantly do it out right

Oh yeah, Sphinx became a palm-top tiger

I thought Kanzaki would be the one stalking Index, considering who her VA is But I guess Stiyl fits the role better...

[SaintessHeart]

Is this an advertisement or what? I lol-ed so hard that my parents thought I went mad.

I love the Biri-biri "conserve electricity" one-shots. That is so cute!

Kanzaki made to say "Nanasen" in the cold tone is hilarious.

Strange, I went online to search for some info and found a translation of her blog and it seems like she CAN really drink and loves it. Aww, I just hope all that drinking doesn't show a sign of bad things to come for one of my favorite seiyus. Blog

Oh shit!
Downloading at the speed of light!

I hope this comes close to Shana-tans awesomeness!

[Kinny Riddle]

Wow, this could actually be funnier than the Shana-tan series

First there's the self-referencing jokes about this title having the same publisher and anime studio, and Touma telling her to stop imitating Shana-tan.

And then, I lol'ed and went WTF at seeing Toradora's tiger in the OP spoof.

Poor Kanzaki, at being asked such private questions, no wonder she's so damn pissed. Wonder if the 3rd question actually refers to whether Itou Shizuka (Kanzaki's seiyuu) really did get pissed drunk in the launch party for the series? And since it's normally Itou Shizuka's character Wilhelmina hiding behind that "stalker pole" in Shana-tan, this time it's her partner Stiyl.

Another LOL at Pierce trying to get Kanzaki to pun her Nanasen attack with 7000yen (Nanasen-en), and then finally incurring her wrath.

Oh, and there's Biri-biri looking absolutely adorable in her "conserve energy" messages.

Now if only JC Staff could come out with Taiga-tan for Toradora as well...

[Malintex_Terek]

I didn't like the cross-over jokes, in fact the Tiger one made me think of Taiga from Fate/stay night rather than that other show.

The Index-related jokes were pretty good, though. Both Kanzaki jokes were nice, as was the "main character" jab which I felt might be parodied at one point. The Misaka inserts were good as well, we should all conserve electrical power!

Was that a Higurashi joke?

"Conserve electricity everyone!"

[Midonin]

I did love the "main character" bit.

Stiyl and Kaori, their name in lights! Or at least really, really big fonts.

I'm glad that someone noticed it. I was really at a loss how to typeset that... how do you make it consistent and yet so that people realize what the joke is? ^_^;

Also, I'm surprised that the retarded shopping channel wasn't mentioned ... my my my

[Nochgo]

Hahaha, this was a nice surprise. lol at index-tan, trying to copy Rie Kugimiya's trade mark 'Urusai! Urusai! Urusai!'. I would give it a 9 for the effort.
As for the cross-thingys, I was hoping for Hecate's appearance... meh, maybe that would be pushing it.
Enjoyable, as usual.

[-Sho-]

I like it .

Index : "I'm hungry" "i'd be grateful if you could help ...."
"Shut up shutp shup" (like Shana , Louis ... ) "Pluck pluck pluck" "be bald be bald ..." "Idiot idiot ..."

Kanzaki's 2 part was great ^^ Kill them !!!
Index's vomit .

[MrTerrorist]

I just saw it and i love it coz it was funny but the thing that surprises me the most was at the end.

Index: "What's this Nasi Goreng?"

I was like LOL when i heard her say that. I didn't expect a Malay word in an Japanese anime (except if the anime was dubbed in malay).

But unfortunately the anime slightly irked me because even though they explain what Nasi Goreng is, they got it wrong.

Nasi Goreng is not an Indonesian Fried Rice, It's Malay & Indonesian Fried Rice.

Seriously didn't the studio had their facts checked? I bet every single Malay speaker in Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore are giving themselves a facepalm of what they just seen. I don't know what made them think it's one country's dish when it fact it a favorite cultural dish of the Malay people who reside in all four Malay speaking countries.

If they just took the info from wikipedia, that was just bad research but i will forgive them if because there are a lot Indonesia restaurant in Japan hence their belief it's a from that country.


PS. I have eaten Nasi Goreng and it's taste great. You should try it sometime. And here's a link.

[-Sho-]

who care if its Malay or Indonesian , the most important its delicious no ?
