This was really good start and really fateful to the manga, I'm so proud of J.C.Staff right now <3
Mikoto and Kuroko were as awesome as ever and Uiharu and Saten seemed pretty cool aswell.

&& the opening was just awesome ! I thought at first that it can't be that good 'cause I haven't heard of fripSide before but ... this was really good :---)))

Let's see if this will become as boring as Index was. First episode was okay.
Didn't realize Kuroko and Peke (Trouble) sound so similar before xD

Looks really promising. Really enjoyed the first episode.

The VAs were great as well.

I guess it was good and entertaining, but it could have been better. I mean Index's ep1 was so much better, though we all know how that turned out..

I really like the OP song even though it's not Mami Kawada, but the animation is lacking

For this season I was most looking forward to this show. That said it couldn't totally live up to my expectations, but it certainly was the first highlight of this season. Not bad at all and I am looking forward to more.

For a first episode I really liked this..
Pretty nice OP too.
What's this Biribiri everyone keeps talking about? (Haven't seen Index nor read the manga, so I have no idea who everyone keeps referring to? Uiharu?)

That was really awesome and kool. Great first episode. Can't wait for more! 9/10 (Probably 8/10 but I personally like the characters a lot :) )

Just to clarify, was there an OP? I only saw an ED.

Biribiri translates into something like "Shocker".


To everyone saying the Ending is great. That was actually the Opening!

This show starts exactly like its parent story, with a good amount of action, enjoyable characters and some nice animation. Good intro episode, but as Index's first ep was by far the best of the whole series and the rest was crappy, I guess I'll drop this oner after one or two eps probably, unless it's better than its counterpart of course. Well, Misaka was by far the most interesting character of Index, so why not?

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Mikoto used was the best... i loved it :)

I kind of liked it better with a level 0 protagonist who has to really use his brain together with his single ability to even remotely have a chance, then a level 5 protagonist stuffed with powerful abilities already overpowering most enemies.
Well it's Misaka we're talking about, so that's excusable.

That being said, I quite enjoyed the first episode and really look forward to what they will do with this anime.
Also nice OP.

The episode didn't disappoint. There were some beneficial changes to the story and the execution shows that the animators understand the story quite well.

Actually, there is more brain usage here then in currently animated arcs of Index...
actually, the villains are beaten 70% by protagonists using their brains and only 30% by plain power.

Hooray, was really looking forward to this. Mikoto <3

Anyway, it was a nice start. Not as good as Index's first episode was, but still pretty good. One of my only complaints was that the OP animation didn't seem to fit the song. And Kuroko is ffffff annoying, but all the Mikoto (<3) makes up for it.

And Mikoto's awesome : D

And with music as awesome as the original series : >

Biribiri is back, fuck yeah !!

Probably this could be the best of this fall, since there were no other big title than railgun, kobato or fairy tail.

Somehow i just realize that biribiri's seiyuu were rina satou, is it because a year absence since inex ?

Anyway, awesome episode, great fanservice and also misaka were so awesome with the introduction of the railgun. i just hope touma would shows up somewhere in this anime

4/5

It's always nice to see more of Misaka--seeing as she was my favorite character from Index. This episode was entertaining, though it felt more like an introductoion of the four main characters and wasn't quite as good as the first episode of Index.

Also, though I enjoy their interaction, I hope this episode isn't an indication that 50% of the series will be spent on Kuroku trying to go on a date with Misaka; I immensely enjoyed the sci-fi elements of the first series series and hope this one will emphasize on that.

Im really liking how this anime has started out
things i liked about this episode were
1) The Yuri-ness (Kuroko's perveted plans to seduce Misaka and kuroko groping Misaka)
2) Saten and Uiharu are so cute :D
3)Lots of Misaka who is awesome and was one of my favourite characters from index
4) The opening theme :) (played at the end)
5) The animation
and i would like to see Touma appear later on but if he doesn't get a lot of screen time i won't care
the more misaka the better ^___^

I love the 1st episode. I love everything about it despite some minor changes like Mikoto's reason for attacking the 3rd Bank Robber.(In the manga he spilled her Crepe on her cloths, in the anime he kick Saten in the face!)

But still, the changes were rather enjoyable and i look forward to more adventures of Mikoto & her Lesbian Stalker Kuroko lol.

I must say I lol'ed more than I really enjoyed this episode. It seems like a show completely ridden of seriousness. Hopefully I'm wrong.

But since it's just a first episode, no point in bashing.

Wow I really liked this!

I wasn't planning on watching it because Ive only seen a few episodes of Toaru Majutsu no Index and I didn't really get into it that much, but I think i'll try and watch it again!

I really liked the character Mikoto so far!
