I will keep this short, since I don't want to squeeze words out of something that should be really dry. Toaru Majutsu No Index was a very average show for me, with a few memorable characters. Actually, to express the way I feel about this show, I even think a few bullet points would suffice.
Time should be an absolute judge. What will I remember from this show, a year from now? Well, after asking myself, I'd say:
+The opening themes. Nice songs, nicely done.
+A bunch of cute girls. Some very cute, at that. In fact, Biri Biri turned out to be a blessing for this show.
+Some antagonists. Ever dreamt about being someone who should never lose, to anyone (unless your script writer strangely decides so)? Live out your fantasies with TMNI! There's two for you to choose. A guy that changes the vectors of anything he touches, and a guy who can turn his thoughts into reality! Oh yeah.
+Some things that made me laugh. Angel Fall. The sisters' speech. Index biting onto..that guy.
What I will not remember:
-The ending themes.
-That guy. The protagonist. The definition of boring. His face is boring, his punch line is boring, his personality is boring. His abilities? He punches people. Yeah. He wins against people that borderline godhood, who should slaughter him in a second, by throwing a punch at them. And don't think he's on Ippo's, or some other boxer's level. He ends the fights with a single punch, because he can. Even when, he can't. Oh wait, I forgot. He has the ability to negate any kind of power his right hand touches. Yeah, I have a very original idea for a protagonist too. He has the ability to defeat bad guys.
-Any sort of dramatic climax reached with the ending. Err, if it was there, I just missed it. The "final" arc, could easily exchange places with some of the previous arcs.
That's about it. I didn't really have a bad time watching this show. It didn't leave me with anything to think about, either. Nothing too elaborate, story-wise. A light hearted, average show, with likeable characters. Would I watch the second season, given that there's a spin-off if I wanted to get more of Misaka? Only if someone I know insisted I should.
