My Current Jams - Magic World - Kurosaki Maon

This week in  My Current Jams, we have Magic World by Kurosaki Maon, the ED for To Aru Majutsu no Index II.



Whether you're all about the 2D or still on the fence, this song is still a great piece. It's a little bland if all you listen to is J-pop, but I personally think that the rhythm, progression, vocals, and overall energy of the song is just addictive.

The video itself is fun and enjoyable, featuring the singer wearing various cosplay that as a fan I had a fun time spotting and identifying.

The b-side for this single wasn't quite as awesome as the main song, but Kurosaki Maon has previously put out the ED album for HotD, so it's obvious that her talents are broad.

All in all, this song is my current jam, and has been repeating now for several days.

This Week in Anime - To Aru Majutsu no Index - 08

Let it be known that I'm not a lolicon. I prefer my waifu to be of adult breeding age, not well endowed, but a healthy medium between average and pettanko. (B-C cups?)

That said, it's really hard not to like certain characters.

How do they get this big? Seriously?

Anyway. unlike the previous TWA (This Week in Anime), I won't provide a complete spoiler of the episode, as this particular episode didn't strike as strong a chord with me.

It's the Academy City with Sports Festival episode, a staple in every school-related anime, with an Indexy twist.

From what I know, granted I haven't actually taken the time to read the light novels (I've been meaning to), JC Staff has done their usual butchering job with Index, although I personally like it.

JC Staff, for what they're worth, make a beautiful kind of anime, and even in a downtime episode that's leading up to the next action-packed art, the visual experience is enjoyable and fun.

The foundations for the next arc have been laid, with plenty of service in between.

If you're just casually following this show, this is a good episode.
