I suppose I said that as a joke more than anything.

By the way, you made an interesting point when you said her good traits are never shown in Index, with which I wholeheartedly agree. The only time she really gets to shine is in episodes 6-7 of Index II (which, I should dare to say, is the only part I enjoyed of Index). It's a shame that a character with a lot of potential is gone to waste, but that seems to happen a lot with side characters...

Kuroko is an interesting character... To me at least... Because she seems to have two highly contrasting sides to her: the professional Judgement officer and the Misaka-crazy pervert. For the first time, I've come to like both a Japanese voice actor and an English voice actor of a character- but for completely different reasons. Arai is a talented voice actress that capitalizes on Kuroko's prevented side, but she seems to do it so well it diminishes the other side of her. You know, the side that's meant to be taken seriously... Which is where, I believe, Viktorin takes the cake. Contrary to what others may say, the dub does an interesting thing to Kuroko: it adds to her character. Kuroko is an Ojou-sama, which means her speech is going to be proper. What does the dub give her? Less contractions on average and an extensive vocabulary. Kuroko is the only character in whom I've ever noticed this in an anime dub.

Hot damn I got off topic...
