less action here, but did not disappoint
i cannot wait till i get my hands on the OST.
Genius Index was fabulous. the angel summoning was interesting.
bunny index was cute xD
loli sensei looks like a nice character..... she would have been a really nice loli if she didn't smoke...
i loved the interactions between touma and index this episode. index is so moe.
it was interesting to hear the background on magic, and the necessarius
lol @ index' weapon being her fangs xD
the fight between touma and kanzaki should be very interesting next episode.

overall, it was an entertaining episode. not so much in action, but in character development. definitely one of my top choices this season.

A good anime and it continues to grow and become slightly better in each episode, the one downfall about this epsiode though was i thought the healing process took a little longer then need be but all and all a good epsiode

The last part reminds of a fuusetzu from SHana (I think that's how you spell it)
Ah yeah, the seal. Except everybody disappeared instead of closed space where everybody freezes.

Shakugan no Shana elements came to my mind a couple times when watching the first ep.


Yeah, and the OP by Kawadi Mami doesn't help that either. :P

And so. Much. Moe. Dx

Most definitely looking forward to the next episode.

they got the awesome adult loli, super moe cute index, big budget special effects fights, and now some boobie-samurai, and everything looks so great,
even the story and idea of the grimoires and the rest of it isn't bad

but it's still boring!
oh god, i wish i could just switch my brain to shallow and don't care about it.

heh next episode is here and i am still happy that this anime is airing :P......i didnt realy get it when index was teling that sensei shouldnt use magic any more.....mages arent humans? other worlds? i dont know but are mages difrent from normal people? i looking forward to next episode it looks like this anime will be filled with lots of good fights....


Most likely she is referring to the responsibilities it may have on you in the long run. I KNOW CAUSE I DO MAGIC! There are consequences, of course of black magic they are far worse than white magic.


Have you learned to cast Meteor yet? Maybe Ultima!? If not black magic, you're surely to be a white mage? You must know how to cast simple spells like Cure and Esuna, right!? What about the all-great white spell that is Holy?

That aside, they stuck a lot of moe into this episode. Other than that, it was a decent episode. Definitely looking forward to Kaori kicking some ass. She's hot stuff.


LOL! Your comments are quite amusing but I DO NOT GO INTO DETAILS ABOUT THIS. I learned mainly........UNIVERSAL MAGIC.......let's leave it at that.

THERE IS RPG CRAP! Although the information from RPG is interesting about the whole occult things. Interesting but far from reality and how it is done as such.

Final Fantasy magic is really nonsense....have you tried oriental magic? How far are your ratings?

A tad boring but still a very necessary episode in order to explain the story and build up suspense for the next few episodes.

According to the preview, was Kaori the one that gave Index those slash wounds? I can't wait to find out.

Kanzaki might be giving off the bleach vibe but I do not watch that show just saw some episodes and Kanzaki does look like someone from Bleach can pinpoint which character???

This series is just... very good. Even if I am not a fan of the comedy/romance style, I find the direction really well done as well as the script which is actually original and very well executed. On top of that, this anime has a true and unique atmosphere that sets it apart from other shows, and the music & animation are not half bad either. I'm pretty surprised by this show, I didn't expect anything of it, and each individual episode for now has been great, so I guess we can call it a success ;)

Just you I guess. For me, Index has absolutely nothing in common with Bleach.

Slow exposition episode. It wasn't boring, just not as entertaining as the first two. This exposition was absolutely needed though, for all the people like me who haven't read the manga.

I like the relationship that's developing between Touma and Index, it feels like they are siblings.

Yeah I guess it was just Kanzaki giving off that bleach vibe, with the katana and the clothing style and all that. Oh and I'd like to add, I used to hate the lolisensei before this ep, now I just think she's adorable.

Honestly the best so far is the second half of the second episode and the first half the of the third episode.

That thing was just as dark and mysterious as I imagined it would be.
Oh, and as for the magic stuff, here's some of the material mentioned so far.

Here's some things mentioned:

I love how Index asks for a beautiful angel and Sensei repeats "Kawaii Tenshi" 20 times.

I was banging on my desk cracking up when Sensei was arguing.

And how can you guys think this is a slow episode? There was lots of development from everybody.

If both comments were to be connected, it would be pretty hentai. XD and bizare ~_~

I like it that the plot is going on pretty fast. And what's with the one leg jeans fetish from Kanzaki. It reminds me of ehh Ikki Tousen, looks like a rip-off. At least her body proportions are just as good as in IT.

And I finally see some "hard" main character who won't just give up or cry like the paranoid freak in Chaos;head. Kamijou is my hero of this season!

The scene with the ritual healing felt like it went on forever, but it was animated beautifully and actually managed to maintain my interest which is not an easy thing to do. I'm looking forward to the next episode. The battle between Touma and Ranzaki looks pretty intense.

Oh my, that was actually pretty good. Index is damn cute when she's angry. >:3 She just bites Touma. Although I didn't really get the stuffs about the Necessarius and magic shit, I still loved this episode.

Also, that girl with the sword was pretty hot. Plus, A rune that seal other people away was just like a fuuzetsu from SnS, I wonder what power does that hot girl have. Also, that ritual was also interesting. Index really knows those grimoires.

Komoe sensei was also cute. I just can't get enough of her loliness. No Mikoto in this episode though. It saddens me. :(

I have to admit that the healing thing was kind of creepy .And the explanation of the magic societies was pretty good, but I still don;t understand what is actually happening.

For some reason I feel like something bad is going to happen to that Sensei. I hope not, she is rather interesting.

Can't wait to see the next episode!
