kitten and Index were cute, but I think all these moe-scenes are really out of place >_<
hope next ep will be more interesting. I need more action!

Index was so annoying this episode ... her personality didn't feel at all right compared to the first 6 episodes. It just felt like she was being a typical bossy, bitchy loli tsundere. Fast forwarded through the 'comedic' bits that weren't funny, sigh.

Didn't really like this ep ... I hope this isn't a sign of how things will be from this arc onwards.

I think the memory loss needs to be exaplained a bit further. When he was asked what he knows of alchemists shouldn't his memories of them have been erased? Wait does he remember anything at all. The show wasn't very clear on how the whole thing works

The episode was pretty okay.
The first half felt like filler (in my opinion), but that was done to build up to the face-off between Touma, Stiyl, and Areolus Izzard.

MAGNUS! That guy is my favourite character, hands down. I'm glad he's getting all this screen-time and wasn't dismissed as a character.

So that girl was Deep-Blood, interesting.

So it's normal to have corpses lying around at a school? Let's see how this plays out.

This episode didn't really bother me from a pacing standpoint. Actually, I think it was kind of interesting in a way. With some fairly amusing comedy relief from Index as well. Well we'll see how it goes.

Lol, at the people calling this filler in the first few pages..

For someone who has apparently lost his memories he sure knows a lot. Either he only lost memories about himself or he's been reading like crazy.

i love the fact that although his memories were destroyed, a part of him still remembers index... that's kinda cute considering she had only met him for a week or so.

although kinda scary she can look cute, angry, depressed and adorable with just one expression.

mmm icecream (shakes wouldn't have done it for me)

''Is it a robot?''
Seriously Touma? Don't you see the blood everywhere?

So... Stiyl is a lolicon? x)

I must admit that Touma is in a pretty shitty situation. He doesn't know a damn thing about the magic world and he have to deal with it. I guess there will be some difficulties with Misaka too because of memory loss.

So i've seen this series a couple times and decided to rewatch it, something caught my attention though.

I thought touma lost all his memories? They keep saying he does yet how does he remember stuff about an obscure subject like vampires?

Is that explained in the LN or manga better?

Memory loss doesnt always cause loss of basic(or trivial in this case)knowledge. Memory loss wont make you forget walking,writing,speaking or have common knowledge.

but that stuff is more from muscle memory than anything else.

if i get my brain destroyed by a magic feather remembering obscure trivia seems unlikely. Especially when you can't even remember peoples names or faces or even if you ever met them.

There is semantic memory and episodic memory.These are for general knowledge and specific events/ autobiographical events respectively.
Memory loss doesnt guarantee total loss of both memory types.

I'll always love the first six episodes of this series. True, they weren't flawless, but it was such a great start. I loved the characters. The main character didn't just do nothing the whole time. It was hilarious most of the time, and sometimes a little emotional. I haven't been more disappointed in an anime than when, starting with episode 7, all of the characters did a 180 (suddenly the lead was dull and boring, and Index was just a brat), and it dwindled into a harem anime with an erratic plot.

Touma still can't rmemeber anything.

Also where is Mikoto? I actually came to this series because of here meme stuffs.

I mean she got a good prologue scene, but then she's kind of forgotten.

Also that Stiyl loves the loli... we have a love triangle on our hands.

The characters sort of just hung out in this episode, mostly. It still didn't manage to be as fun as the first episode, though.

At least the parts with Style were more interesting.

Him losing his memories seems utterly pointless at this point, will this be any relevant later on except for "I have to pretend that I didn't lose my memory!"?

The way Touma says "such misfortune" reminds me of a certain character I hate *cough Mirai from Kyoukai no Kanata cough cough* >___> so annoying.

Index has been acting pretty whiny and spoiled lately *sigh*

Touma is gonna have a hard time keeping up with his appearances. Should've just let it go the easier route and stick with his memory loss .-.

Soooooo.... Style likes Index... yet he stepped on her face in the earlier episode... LOL. Dufuq. Even if you're tryna act as the enemy, that's a little overboard for your crush lulz

Kaori did mention Index forgot her previous lovers. Wonder if there was ever a thing between her and Style :3 I personally ship him with Kaori cuz they're partners :X

A mere personal opinion but I think Tsuchimikado's voice doesn't match him :|
and honestly I got confused when he showed up in this episode while he hasn't been introduced at this point in the novel and it was just Aogami pierce with Touma & Index !!

And Styil cutely blushing ♥

So Touma and Index already know each other for couple of weeks after him losing his memories, hm?.. Plenty of time to get close again, really.. ;p
And it's cute, how Index says that she's not complaining about hot weather or wanting ice cream.. ;P
Yep, certainly really cute.. ;p How is this called?.. Not reverse psychology.. But something like reverse sayings?.. Not sure, how to call it..
Men in suits showed up right after hearing that Touma undressed Index to complete nudity, lol.. ;P
Index can be both not airhead, but something close, and serious, when needed..
I like that Index began to talk with humor about her sister role as well.. I find these moments pretty warming.. Well, like the holy sister she is, who gives warmth, duh.. ;p Half-ironically, of course.. ;p With it being more funny, she more plays on this topic than trying to be serious or something..
Well, yeah, it was pretty obvious from Kanzaki's words earlier that Magnus probably loves Index even romantically.. Or at least is romantically interested.. But her memories about him were lost..
Well, a bit more about Index' personality this episode.. She's just so cute.. ;p Also new girl appeared..
