Only marginally late this time, lol.
Anyhow, this episode is the start of a new arc in the series, covering Deep Blood, the vampire killer. I’m told by some that this is an anime original arc; but as I say, I stopped reading the manga back at what would have been episode 5, so I can’t confirm that.
‘Deep Blood’ is surrounded by bodies at the start of the episode.
Still, I enjoyed this. Touma is struggling with keeping up the facade that he has not lost his memories when he in fact has; all for the sake of not making Index worried. After our introductory moment; we have an amusing scene where Index wonders:
Thats, what, 36 dollars or 24 pounds worth? So…maybe 12 litres/tubs of the good stuff…Jesus…how many calories is that…?
She goes on to say she’s forbidden to eat treats as a nun anyway, but…
“Its okay if some ‘accidently’ falls into my mouth…” She says
I LOL’ed. So you want 12 tubs of ice-cream to accidently fall into your mouth, Index?
Anyway, Touma’s no good friends show up, and he has some stumbles because he doesn’t remember them. I have to say they really look like some kind of beach dudes. They call Index a Loli, and Touma makes the mistake of agreeing (in a sense), hence much anger and:
Uh-oh, she’s gonna explode!
He has to make a peace offering by taking her to McDonalds (well, the piss-take hence of) and getting milkshakes for her. During this time, they come across a miko (shrine maiden) collapsed at a table after eating 30 cheap 100 yen hamburgers. (what is it with girls that have black hole stomachs in this!?) She is also now short of her train ticket money because of her gluttony; and tries to borrow 100 yen from Touma and pals (failing, of course). She also claims to be a magician, which Index gets irate about because she sounds vague. Eventually her cram school teacher (huh?) comes to pick her up, along with a bunch of shady besuited men (reminded me of the swarms of FBI agents in Final Approach, LOL).
The Shrine Maiden is obviously Deep Blood from before; but Touma obviously doesn’t know this.
On the way home, Index finds a abandoned calico kitty, which she immediately calls ‘Sphinx’. Touma won’t let her keep it though, since cats aren’t allowed in dorms. Then she suddenly detects some magic and runs off to investigate, telling Touma to see her at home. But this is a distraction to allow Stiyl to appear again.
Touma basically gets ‘yoink’ recruited by him to hunt Deep Blood and gain control of her to battle some kind of alchemist who’s appeared in the town after being in hiding for three years. She’s been confirmed to be at the local cram school…
Anyhow, he gets back home and…
OH SHI-!
That was a quick pregnancy, wasn’t it? However, the ‘baby’ suddenly moves up to her bosom…
Of course, its actually just Index stashing the kitten from before in her robes:
LOL. Touma is given little choice but to let her keep it now…
He then goes out to the cram school with Stiyl, letting Index play with the kitten. It doesn’t seem a suspicious place. Well, until they find a dead knight in the reception area, which everyone is ignoring for some reason…
O RLY? You don’t say…
There ends the episode…
It was a slow-ish start to the new arc, but it was pretty funny, with Index producing several laughs with her ice-cream, flat chest and bulging stomach incidents. So roll on episode 8!
