----------------------------------------
Mikoto has an imouto, who looks more like a clone with different personality. The "older" one seems to be hiding something about this.
And is that white haired guy just jealous of her abilities?

Then two highlight shots of today:

HoaRy! :) Yeah the clone story starts! Was waiting for this one! Very nice and BTW HoaRy nice screen shots! Nice episode and of course I want to see what is next.

Episode starts really good with the new guy Accelerator and I don't care with people say in regards to this comment but I will say this: screw all the cast on this show cause right now Accelerator will dominate my taste until he gets defeated that is because he is my favorite one of this show and this guys "Rocks'N'Rolls", let's say he is #1 of the level 5 and the power he uses is to reverse ANYTHING.

Basically, the bullet the clone of Misaka Mikoto shot came back to her and the clone was lucky it did not blown its head off.


Kuroko (she has the esper skill of teleportation, which means she can teleport anywhere, yes even on the tip of the Eiffel Tower or The top of the leaning tower.) Kuroko along of course with Misaka and her clone copies. You see only one but there are many more to come. That was all cool!

As usual nice effects when Kamijou absorbs that electrical attack from Misaka Mikoto. Then I got am major rush of laughter when Misaka Mikoto shocked the machine then the cans spewed out one after the other for free. Well no surprise the bill that Maijou lost was like 10000 yen which is about 100$. Very funny part.

Appreciate both the way the maid is and her personality.

Nice to see: Index with Himegami, Komoe sensei with Kamijou's friends (those guys were funny around #8) and the Clone is funny with the black cat.

Want to see what happens with Accelerator and the clone.


1.Accelerator is the best! I will always like him for his character. Anyone know anime with guys like that tell me!
2.The maid Maika Tsuchimikado is nice!

1.

2.


The spoiler just has better pics than one on the site (yes, bigger is better they say in USA). To prove my point: Congratulations to To Aru Majutsu no Index for being To Aru Majutsu no Index Pantsu now Here: http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/12/07/a-certain-magical-panchira/


BTW I don't think the clone cares about anyone staring at its panties. I also think the only good about it is that it's a virgin female. (I would not mind since I am virgin myself)

PS:Sorry about my long review but got sometime so though of writing up. :P

After subs thoughts.

It gets to my attention now to know who is this roommate of Touma named Tsuchimikado. I wonder.

Shirai Kuroko, has a cute aspect now that I see her a second time in this episode. I wonder if the teleport is the only thing she can do. Could she be like Hiro Nakamura from the TV series Heroes and touch people to teleport them somewhere else?

Miasaka clone emits electro magnetic pulses at a regular interval, was to me fascinating to wonder if those clones have many defects apart from not being to see the magnetic waves and having to use the goggles as a substitute.

Super computer in a satellite? Sounds like another point that's interesting enough.

Good opening ep for an arc.Mikoto younger sister is quite interesting, at first I thought she would be emotionless but she definitely has a personality (and a sense of humor: named the cat 'dog' lol)
Not much on the new villain(?) yet but he seemed to consider himself the strongest lv5 esp
oh and I seriously don't get what anime (studios and broadcast stations?) standard for panties flash

Hahaha but you can see the pantsu made quite the headlines . The standard you should be asking is the ratio of ecchi and nuns ratio in this show.

This episode restored some of my faith into the show. The light comedy was great and so were the dramatic parts with Accelerator. The facial expressions everybody had on during the flea part were just hilarious. I had to lulz at MISAKA's eyes following the cat's wagging tail while Touma and the others were talking. It'll be interesting to see who or what MISAKA really is compared to the regular Misaka.

My fanboy senses were severely overloaded as I watched this episode. I was literally tingling with excitement, it was that moe!

So we finally get to the Imouto (Mikoto) arc. Man I don't even care if they just talked all throughout the episode as long as it has Mikoto and the Imoutos! Also, himegami pretty much summed up what To Aru Majutsu Index is all about, minus the romantic implications due to a certain unlucky shonen.

While Mikoto and the Imouto(s) will certainly be added to the harem, only the Imouto might move in with him. That room is suddenly getting cramped ey Touma? xD

To add, the fanservice was actually required in the story. Touma has a hard time distinguishing Mikoto and the Imoutos. He primarily uses the goggles the Imoutos are carrying to tell the difference, but he notices that something is different down there ;-)

Interesting episode.

I wonder why the sister addresses herself in third person. Guess next episode will perhaps reveal that.

Also, did anyone notice that Touma hasn't touched the sister with his hand yet? I wonder if he'll disable something if he does.

SAdshkdjh Is that the reason her eyes kept going back and forth? I noticed that and was all 'wtf'. I didn't even realize she was staring at the tail. Stupid me.

Anyway, this is my favorite episode so far. This looks like the start to an exciting arc, and this Accelator guy looks like a really awesome opponent.

Finally, I've been waiting for this since I saw episode 1. Misaka finally showed up.
Other than that it had some nice light comedy and a little bit of fanservice too.
My opinion is it's been the best so far since ep1&2

Well, the intro episode was great as I expected, the gory follow ups won't be so nice, though.

I really want to see more of Accelerator's powers, because they have so much potential depending on which level he can control them. If the manga was more translated I'd be pleased, but for now I'll be relying on the anime.

Nice screen shots like usual mate. The first if you read my comments, I said that clone was lucky Accelerator did blow her head off since that was what she was aiming for.

He is the strongest I think, Mikoto is #3 (which is why she has that rivalry with Touma, seeing as a mere level 0 defeated her). And now we outgrew the magician of the week and are now into the Espers territory. I'm curious to see how Touma's Imagine Breaker will match up with Accelerator.

i do agree that ALL the girls in this show are awesome. srsly...kanzaki with her hot legs(err...leg), index the loli nun, himegami the almost emotionless shrine maiden, misaka the tomboyish loli and her loli sisters, maika the loli maid, komoe the loli teacher...damn that's a lot! and most of em are lolis to boot! mmmmm

btw i just checked the character pages for toaru and i haven't seen any seiyuu for maika yet. she does sound a lot like mikai kana(satoko of higurashi/sumeragi of code geass).

*edit: apparently im wrong just checked wikipedia and maika is voiced by misato fukuen(yin from dtb, kurumu from rosario, yami from to-love ru and eruka frog from soul eater). i also checked misaka's voice(the imouto one) - apparently she's being voice by a different seiyuu - nozomi sasaki(patricia martin from lucky star)

This is one hell of a long introduction. I guess this entire season is one long introduction to a couple more seasons of Index?

This was one of the better episodes though, it mixed action, exposition, comedy and other things in just the right amounts.

You got that right about next episode although many are used to the gore I am going to spoil the fact that there will be more of it in the next episode as well. That is because the gore of the manga freaked me out in this coming part.

Most likely that is because I am far from seeing things the way the Japanese draw them and so the gore is quite something.
