Piercing their own ears to avoid Sheol Fear...ouch indeed. O_O
Battle was pretty cool, but what happened to Touma when he got surrounded?

Next up seems to be the finale of the arc. I hope they'll teach that church a lesson!

Yey! Lots of action!

I was hoping Kanzaki might leap in and lay waste to all with her super sword skills but I guess she figured they had got it sorted!

I love as well, how the CoE are seen as the good guys. I guess Henry VIII had it right when he schism'ed 400 odd years ago!

that's what i think about it too, it's not just hate/dislike there are some hints that this anime shows about roman catholics that are true in reality....

Actually, we just make great villains :P
ALL factions in To Aru have good and bad guys. Tough it seems watchers tend to forget what Necessarius did to Index and what AC did in Level 6 Experiment.

lol, roman catholic church? are they f***ing kidding me? More like a bunch of little girls running around pretending to be nuns as a magical cult. They act more like physco thugs then holy people. I don't like that they associate magic with churches and religion, that's just stupid.

Also, I'm not buying that Index can't do magic. Stiyl said that Index is not capable of doing magic, yet that's exactly what she did. If its not magic that she did, then what the f*** is it? exactly, it's magic, there is no other explanation.

There's no better phrase(or saying?) for this episode...

Allies become foes, foes become allies. Treasure them both, and beware of both(I think it goes like this? o.o)

Brings back the memories from season 1, where the weird "cram school", and the students, comparing it to the nuns. Ouch man.. Painful ear(literally. EARHOLE) "Piercing" T.T

It is just the start...
uhh...

LOL, the Amakusa are the good guys. And this was all evil plot of the Roman Catholics to kill Orsola. NICE with the cross Stiyl!!!, You mess with the cross, you mess with us! Glad to see Stiyl (representing Anglican) go help to fight against those evil nuns. HE is REALLY STRONG ally! I like Stiyl's fire magic, they're literally "BURNING" flamethrowers!. And those nuns are really insane, ughhh, poking their ear drums out like that. Very good episode!

I seriously went "wtf" when they stabbed their ears. You could argue they should have used Earplugs or something, but I guess the intention was to show how fanatical the nun's are.

Anyway, I'm digging this arc so far. Hopefully the ending is good.

Earplugs apparently aren't standard issue for Catholic battle nuns. Obviously a pair of fountain pens are necessary though - it's important to always have a back up writing utensil.

4/5

Plot that focuses on the clash between the various ideologies, does not advance that much this time. Story full of action, pleasant and with some nice twist. Design shaky, with ups and downs, too bad. Often the scene svoge Tamni in the dark, the backgrounds do not appreciate it on this occasion. Animations adequate.
Rating of 4/5, does not penetrate, yet the animated series! ^ ^ "

Hey the nuns actions may seem fanatical to us, but isn't that due to the fact that we're observing this from a different perspective. To us there is no solid evidence on the existence of the supernatural or magic, but in their world there is. I mean there are even angels, what's to the deny the existence of gods, plus, even if they're deaf telepathy's possible, no and so is healing magic.

The nuns stabbing their own ears was metal as hell.

I find the fact that nuns are running around with swords and fighting, getting burned, and sliced up so hilarious. It's just so out of place.

Wh-aaaaat. That was some dark twist. Those creepy faces... The roman catholic church really is creepy in that show xD

Index ''Sheol Fear'' is damn too OP. Well, until that ''thing''...

Touma getting back to his old habitude to go by the front door while not having a single plan :P
For someone so unlucky, he sure is ironicaly lucky.

Well .. that is just immoral . like Catholics lost it's virtues in this arc .
Felony of religious adversity . Literally disgraceful .
Looks like the whole conflict was just a set-up by a third party ~ nice .. I guess .
They deserved getting served under the service of our main 'servers' ~ .
Great episode !!!

That glimpse of Itsuwa in action was very cool!
and the ost played along Sheol fear was amazing.

ugh I already had hard time when I read the ears stabbing part in the novel, now seeing it again >< but kinda relieved it wasn't very "detailed" like the novel ._.
overall great episode.

This episode was kinda hard to watch thanks to being, like most Poles, Roman Catholic myself (at least officially. Unofficially - hard to tell, I'm too liberal to follow any religion strictly to the letter). I really hope that these nuns were misled and not all catholics are evil there.

They can't execute someone who is truly believer with no sins?.. Oh come on.. ;D Who needs official execution, when just some "accident" can happen.. Like a snake entering the sleeping place, for example.. Or a sudden fire.. Or suddenly she fell from the window.. Come on..
Well, honestly.. That whole team gathering felt a bit epic.. ;P
Holy sisters bombing church so eagerly.. Just lol.. ;D
So.. They pierced their ears, and now deaf?.. Well.. Dark..
I just can't really.. Some things, especially battles.. They are so absurd, that it's probably done with intention.. ;D Well, it's funnily entertaining for now, I guess.. On the other hand, there is that ears piercing and losing your hearing.. Well.. They decided to do that themselves, I guess.. Still a bit unexpected darkness in this fest of funny absurdity..
