sad As characters they can stand perfectly fine on their own; however, as annoying as Touma was, it's really going to be a while before I get used to not seeing these characters get preached around by Touma every chance he gets.
Well anyways, it was nothing short of a great start for the series I was anticipating the most this season. Index also started off pretty strong, but that quick deteriorated fairly quickly, so let's hope that Biribiri doesn't follow it's predecessor down the same spiral. I've only skimmed through a few manga chapters, so this is all fairly new to me... it's going to be an interesting ride. It was a good introduction episode with clean animation for the most part, stellar music, and a colerful cast of characters...
■ What happened to Satomi Arai? Kuroko had a much more solemn and small role in Index, so I guessed I didn't notice that her voice is kind of annoying until now. Maybe I'll get used to it, but I can't really say I enjoy hearing Kuroko talk for long periods of time, which is a shame since I like her
lesbianism character. She's probably the craziest lesbian I've ever seen, but she makes up for it when she goes Judgement and gets more badass than maybe even Misaka.
■ And on the same subject of characters, I
really don't like characters like Kongo Mitsuko... and they even put the icing on the cake with the fan that usually accompanies her types of characters.
I hope she stays minor, but it doesn't look like it's going to be the case.
■ They don't waste any time with the fanservice do they? Only the first episode and there's already a shower scene... well the sooner the better I suppose.
■ I wonder just how large of an organization Judgement is, and why a level 5 like Misaka isn't apart of it. Ah well, from the way things look, Misaka and Saten will either join Judgement eventually or just continue to assist them with their business. I was also hoping we at least got a clue to what Uiharu's power is.

It's pretty easy to see why focusing on one side of the magic vs science story makes the story a whole lot more coherent.
