Index in a Bunny Suit. Index and Komoe are so moe. XD
Awesome! A fight between Touma and Kaori. Kaori is so hot. :) Anyways, Most definitely looking forward to the next episode.

The 'England is full of witches and magical things' statement made me think of Hetalia.

I loved the animation of the angel and the ritual for regeneration. It was so pretty *u*.

... Is Index's other "personality" just a program or something? :P Seems like it to me, the way she talks when she's not really 'herself'...

Kanzaki... needs a bra. (Is that inappropriate? XD I couldn't help but think that when she first appeared.)

And it's interesting how there seems to be more behind that fire mage guy... I'm also interested to know what Touma actually is. o_O The mages were saying he's not a mage nor a person with psychic/special abilities or whatever. So yeah, is he just a completely normal human then?

TOO MUCH CUTE!!!! The only thing to counterbalance that was how creepy Index got once she went into emergency mode. Though that kinda made me wanna whip out a table, some blood and trinkets and see what I can summon. What? Stop worrying! What could possibly go wrong?

Rofl, I laughed my ass off at the part when Index confronted Touma about his extra lessons. xD

The healing scene was made really well. It had a pretty creepy feeling.
Also it looks like those magicians aren't hunting her on their own will. The fire magician actually showed some regret.

That was pretty good. I loved the explanation about Necessarius. So the Purist hated magic but had to learn it in order to counter it. Then, the branch who did that ended up being despised by them but it seems like they have some power nonetheless.

I don't usually enjoy the domestic-violence types, but Index doesn't seem as bad as most. Her bites almost look cute and even a little hot if you're into a bit of pain ;p I found the magical explanations interesting but a bit hard to follow in the subs.

The loli/moe fanservice of course, is top notch ... so far, cute prepubescent girls are what this show does, and it does them well. :P Glad we got an explanation for Loli Sensei also, that her power allows her to control her 'biological clock', and apparently she has a thing for walking around in a 5th-grader's body.

3/5, still not sure what to rate this series ... will require further watching.

And Touma would be like what you all want, what's going on here, I got that right hand I not scared of you lololol I see Misaka in the next ep preview, Is Misaka gonna partake in the fight against the magicians? Or perhaps future fights :p She seems to be following Touma closely hehe after their formal introduction XD Clash between esper powers and magic gonna be epic!

I don't usually mind cute type characters....but something about that teacher kind of bugs me. I guess it's incredibly obvious they were trying to pull in fans due to her cuteness. Index does bother me that much and I don't really know why.

the series seems pretty interesting so far, they did mess one thing up, though, even though the human memory is small, physically, it can hold more information than 100 of our biggest hard drives, over a thousand petabytes, for reference, a petabyte is a thousand terabytes, which is a million gigabytes, a book would be about a hundred kilobytes, and even after she read all the grimoires, she'd still have enough memory to last her fifty to seventy years even with her photographic memory, possibly until death.

Episode 5 or 6 brings up the photographic memory thing again so they didn't mess that up.

So Touma will now fight with that girl and it seems that the fight will be difficult.

So here I am, watching this show, then Index says "It is July 20th, at 8:30 pm". And I literally freak out because I'm watching it at 8:20 pm today. It was insanely cool.

I liked the episode though, really looking forward to Touma's showdown with the sexy girl.

Index is such a little brat :P
But it look like they are growing some kind of brother/sister relationship.

It took me a while to understand that the ''sensei'' was an adult... Anime logic. Smoking and drinking beer, nothing will stop you Japan.

It was kinda obvious that the flame dude had a strong connection with Index. Probably was her bodyguard or something like this.

That girl at the end is such a babe.

So last episode the redhead referred to Index as "it" but now he referred to her as "she". Maybe it was just a translation issue, but it could be important.

I liked the healing process, though it went on a little too long. The teacher was alright in this one.

Loli-senseis are so stupid... I really dislike seeing them in any show.
Also why does Index bite him all the time? What's wrong with her?
I hope Kaori will turn out to be more likable tbh.

I'm enjoying it enough so far but some of the writing is a little idk heavy on the exposition and lacking subtlty. The moments of self-awareness don't really work. Index is also a bit boring.

Sooooo... if they don't WANT to hurt Index, why are they doing it? Makes no sense =___= Barcode was spouting something about protecting her and shit, but I see nothing of the sort lol

Explain soon, series x'D

I'm thinking of cosplaying Kaori for A-kon this year tho ;O she looks easy to cosplay C: I just need brown cowgirl boots, white ribbon, and a sword. And thrift a pair of jeans that I can cut up lol

Good episode. We know more about Index and Necessarius (Church of Necessary Evil). Much talking in this episode but I like that we have more information. So, Index he has lost all of her memories from the previous year.

The ritual to heal her was weird lmao. Komoe is cuteeee.

And Index even thinking about that Touma would feel guilty with her death right as she recovers.. Their relationship is too touching so far.. At least for me personally, I quite like them together..
Teacher might be good woman so far as well.. Didn't abandon them or anything.. Not too much known about her for now, I guess.. But I'd like for Touma and Index to get more allies or something..
But teacher won't be able to use magic more?.. At least it's undesirable, Index says.. It can destroy "mind" or something..
Hm.. So someone might be hiding Touma's "power" to neutralize powers, hm?.. I mean, he's studying as other students, who are supposedly espers, right?.. Because he has power himself, and government, or whoever gathers these students - knows about that.. But this government, or someone is also covering his powers?.. When there is information about other espers, I assume?.. It seems that someone sees special powers in Touma..
Oh it seems that Index is living life she likes indeed.. Just calling Touma by his name just for fun.. That's so sweet~ ;p Diabetes level.. They really form nice relationship, I feel.. ;P It's so wholesome~ ;p
Index losing her memories can be very sad.. If she'll forget Touma, for example.. Yeah.. I already really really like them both together..
Just where is the romance tag in this anime?.. It really needs one, I feel.. Their relationship is more touching than in many romance anime series really.. Well, for me personally.. ;P
