Lol, poor Kuroko.

I'm pretty sure that is Nunotaba in this episode. She's from the manga as well and has this stoic face. I love the way she talks though in that monotone even though she's a hostage. Such a boss in this episode imo.

Little Misaka helping out with curing a guy? lol @ Kuroko for always wanting to be with her (even sleeping).

Losing of money cards with envelopes @ secret passage, so there were many passengers, including Saten! By dark short hair girl? She said Misaka is original? So that new character is really clone of some character or something?

The singing voice doesn't sound like Index (That is, Iguchi-san is not using the voice of Index, which is good) for ED... Misaka x one of the Sisters? looks cute (the end).

What that girl in the end was Misakas clone? I didn't get that. I just assumed shes someone who knows about the experiment. Anyways she was pretty cool.

Kuroko <3 <3 as always. The ending was mediocre but meh can't ask too much when the OP is the best one this season ^^

The episode's ending: "So you're the original one"

That ending was truly priceless. I can't wait to see the next episode when everything picks up.

Nunotaba was way too boss. She really creeped me out too. I already knew what was going to happen, but I got the chills in my bones. That was intense.

I also liked the scene at the beginning of the episode. I thought the ending was... ok, it might grow on me. But I liked the storyline, they are finally setting everything up!

And they just had to put a gekota doll on the teacup... That's overkill.

Indeed, arc is definitely under way now and seemingly going in order rather than jumping around. Well, that's good news. I hope they can make her facial expressions more detailed in the upcoming episodes.

Yeah. Did anyone else find the graphics slightly weird when Kuroko and Misaka were walking at the beginning and cars were going by. It seemed kind of 3-D, but also not really... I don't know. Right after the opening, the graphics seemed to get slightly worse for a short while.

Kind of but not really. They had a few very important scenes in the beginning of the episode. And they also had some other scenes that were important. I'm not sure how many happened before half-way though. They did have some filler as well.

Also, the ending made the episode shorter or at least feel shorter. I don't remember if it was the same length. Hopefully the next episode really picks up.

By the way, nice signature VioLink

We haven't seen Misaka's reaction to Nunotaba yet, that should sufficiently demonstrate how creepy Nunotaba is if this wasn't enough for you :).

By the way, I appreciated the fact that in the episode preview summary they referred to a large-scale field trip which is soon going to happen and is the reason why they went to the mall. I couldn't understand all of the Japanese and wasn't sure if they said this during the episode, but probably yes. Hmmm... I wonder what this "large-scale field trip" could be? :) .

I would have responded but I decided to wait until this ep was out. I will respond to that in a few minutes.

On another note, the lack of fish-eyes on Shinobu is somewhat off-putting...
However, I'll wait till I see the episode to make that verdict.

So, I actually think it is pretty cool that for the first time they had a to be continued at the end of an episode. That is new for them (I think so right?). So I kind of think that in evaluating episode 2, we can't really evaluate it unless we also evaluate it with episode 3. We will be able to get a better picture of what they intend to be one part of the story if we see both episodes.

After rewatching the episode, I noticed this. For people who don't know the plot, that ending would actually be pretty amazing. I still think it is pretty amazing and can appreciate it. They are definitely making this season much more of a masterpiece in terms of quality. They are adding subtle hints about what is to come everywhere.

The best part about episode 2 was that it started the plot and that it showed how Kuroko covers for Misaka when she is breaking curfew. What Kuroko did was pretty cool; she obviously has practice doing that. I liked that.

Time for the arc to begin. The first half was drawn out a bit, with some more foreshadowing what is coming next. Shinobu makes an awesome entrance. Can't wait for the next episode. I liked the ending theme. It's not my favourite, but still catchy.

A flashback of Misaka's past eh? That is probably the reason why she got the clones.
I don't know, but the episode's kind of boring... I guess this is always what its like in the introduction. Hopefully more action on the next episode! Can't wait to see Misaka with her electric again.

With Saten thinking she saw Misaka earlier, even though it wasn't her. And this new character telling Misaka that she is the original makes it clear there is another Misaka. And the talking about the clones of a level 5 esper. So exactly how many clones does she have?

Anyways great ep, great start too! lol, with kuroko sleeping secretly in Misaka's bed. Loved it. Saten was pretty funny too, sniffing out those cards.

Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

Wow, this episode tops the premier last week. I really loved how Nunotaba dealt with those thugs like a boss -- instilling fear and terror into them without breaking a sweat. I can't wait to see more of her this season. Also, lol at Kuroko and her pervertedness. Snuggling up to Mikoto while she's asleep and that collection of recordings of her.

I think there have been confirmations from TV channels that it will be 24 eps altogether.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.
