In the end Accelerator was as fragile as glass. ^^

Pretty good fight and I love the outcome. Hopefully MISAKA will be alright though, even though she's just one of many...

Next up looks like a filler, but I sense some Misaka goodness! =3

I still can't get used to Index's loliness.....it just feels wrong when i see her and Touma all cozy like that....I see it like a brother-sister relation although i know it is not meant to...which is freakin' me out.

Loved this episode mainly because im glad that prick Accelerator is out of the way. I was sort of expecting him to have a troubled past that explains his nature but since there was none of that im content with disliking him.

Hurray for Kaori in the next eps preview!

OK episode but nothing epic about it. Over-confidence + physical weakness -> sooner or later your ass will be handed to you.

Accelerater ended up to be just another retard. I mean you try to touch the guy but he punches you in the face (although he shouldn't be able to do that). What you do? Try to get near him 5 more times, then create a ball of plasma, and when that fails you try to get near him again.

Anyway, it would have been cool to see Misaka using the railgun even if she'd die instantly. Sacrifice yourself so we could see the railgun!!

Well at least Index made yet another guest appearance. And here I was thinking that she'll only remain in the title of the show (for legal reasons only).

PS.: Originally I wanted to ask what they'll do in the next 10 episodes, but then I saw the preview. Maybe after the beach episode there will be a School festival ep with cosplay cafe and after that a Hot spring ep


Holy shit I lol'ed so hard

Hum... The fight was good. Nothing to write home about though. Accelerator was kinda stupid. I mean, he had no idea of what was happening since he knew nothing about Imagine Breaker but when he tried to attack Touma directly and didn't succeed, the logical procedure would be not to attempt it again. Especially if he had like infinite ways of killing him without making physical contact. But well, whatever... I still like this show.

To Aru Majutsu no Index - successfully DROPPED.
Total disappointment for me. Fanservice, moe, kittens (I do love cats, but this perpetual "mew" in the middle of a scene annoyed me very much), loads of moe-girl, the whole story of Index is forgotten and she plays now only this nerve-racking moe-KAWAIIIII-role. Hate this stuff.
The whole battle agains Accelerator was too simple, why was he standing SO LONG accumulating plasma? And then got beaten by this pretentious schoolboy. WHY didn't he use distant attacks, he actually saw that they were effective?! And saw that beating Touma with his fists was wasting of time (my time too).
Too much moe, fanservice and kawaii, too much causeless emotions and deeds, immortal schoolboy and so on - I got really sick and tired of this stuff. I want my time back.

I'm actually enjoying Index's absence from the show ... I find her annoying at best, abusive, stupid and spoiled at worst. Fortunately, for a show that's named after her, she's surprisingly absent from most of the major developments.

The fight wasn't quite was I was expecting ... Accelerator seemed to have no grasp of tactics whatsoever, but they did take pains to remind the audience that he's never had a fight go past the first few swings. It really showed, too, Touma kicked his ASS. If there's one thing Touma does well, it's take a beating, and he simply outlasted Accelerator despite Railgun girl injuring him a few episodes back (forget about that? So did the writers).

Still, not a bad conclusion to the Accelerator arc. Now I'm going to accelerate myself, right past the shitty filler eps and up to episode 21 or so, where the plot resumes.

It’s stupid that Toma doesn't realize that he has his nullifying power from the start. He has to realize that he has the power to nullify? I'm starting to think he's retarded...

Also, that accelerator guy, if he knew that direct physical contact wasn’t working on Toma, why didn’t he manipulate the surrounding in order to kill Toma? Like when he kicked that rock and it flew at an incredible speed. Or the metal that he can throw/ bend. Also how is it that the people behind the experiment with accelerator who decided to stop the experiment since he lost didn’t take notice to Toma’s power? Toma should have been awarded a rank up or something. >=(

And what was up with Mikoto who didn’t show much appreciation for what Toma did? All she did was give him a box of cookies? Are you f***ing kidding me? She was going to die at the hands of accelerator to stop the sisters from dying, and Toma took care of it for her, and all she does to show her appreciation is give him a box of cookies? He basically saved her life, you would think that is worth more than a box of cookies, and they weren’t even homemade… what a lousy girl…

Still feel that the FIRST arc is the BEST! Good fight, but how Touma needed help cause he couldn't hold on his own was sorta lame... Couldn't he have just blocked that plasma thingy with his right hand? :O Woulda been much more badass if Touma just blocked that thing and punch Accelerator. Touma was so beat down and weakened that I wanted him to punch Accelerator's lights out already before he gets crushed and lets everyone down. Didn't feel much like a showdown, but that knockout punch was the moment what I was waiting for.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise, Accelerator had nothing to do with Index after all...which only means that this arc had nothing to do with the story at all.

Boring.


I know this is years later but....I don't get this. Just because Index doesn't have a role in the arc it has no value at all? That's ridiculous.

Anyway, the arc wasn't all that great. The end of the fight was kind of anticlimatic and, well, it just didn't engage me all that much. I hope the rest goes a little better.

There is no reason to be disappointed, since it was pretty clear right from the start that the anime would go in this direction. Seeing as the anime is named after a loli nun, you should have dropped it after the first episode if that kind of thing annoys you that much. I would have done so if I hadn´t seen a YouTube amv that had Accelerator in it and a clip of Touma going Berserk beforehand.
But don´t say anything bad about Accelerator, else I'd have to admit that I wasted 6 hours of my life on a pretty average anime. Anyways, I´m not giving up just yet, at least Index doesn´t show up as often as you'd expect of a character whose name is in the title (and yes, in this case, that's a good thing).

The combat is interesting only in the end, a little paradoxical beginning where Touma with only one arm can stop Accelerator? A little comic too! Idisegni are good a little less animations, final and cute with a sister character a little unexpected I hope the new arc is intriguing more than that of the sister!

Why is it that Misaka's Sister 10032 can read Touma's heartbeat while holding his right hand? I though for sure that imagine breaker will block any ESP powers like detecting heartbeat, bloodpressure etc.

In the hospital, she said heartbeat and brainwaves are transfered via electricflow as she hold touma's hand on her chest. But remember on touma and misaki battle on the toaru kagaku no railgun, no electricity can flow on touma's right hand.

That not what I meant.What I am saying is that her statement was BS.Lets say that he doesnt have IB.Why would she need to put his hand in her chest?Why not just hold it?Her powers arent different in her chest.

The Sisters arc was of the best arc from the novels,yet this adaption of it was rather lackluster.

I see Railgun S focuses on the sister arc so hopefully that ended up being a better adaption.Just gonna have to wait and see.

I felt like MISAKA was hidding something. The way she didn't respond when he asked ''That will really save your body, right?'' make me believe that these adjustements are against Touma...

Anyway, the most important thing now is that she's able to stay with the kitty. Now, she can discover his most powerful attack : cuteness overload.

Accelerator biggest flaw is his lack of self-control. He could easily have killed him using his environment, but instead, he wanted him to suffer the most and to show-off by proving how much he have power. When coming in hand to hand, his vector make no difference (at least, the way he was using them ; could have used them to make his move faster, etc.) so that was a big fail on his part.

Misaka is such a tsundere. Buyiing cookies instead of saying ''thanks'', such a tsundere move xD

Ahhhh, here goes the beach episode. There is always one, always...

Touma's power is just stupid. It counters everything. I mean, a level 0 defeats the strongest lvl 5? What the hell ? How can he be level 0?
Anyways, I'm satisfied with this arc. And that's surprising because I don't like Misaka. Her clones are much better lol.
Kanzaki is back in hte preview. Yay.

It doesnt counter everything and the levels are assigned to espers based on how much the are valuable to the scientists.Touma isnt an esper and has 0 value to the scientists.

And he isnt the only one that can defeat a lvl 5.At least Touma HAS a power.

Accelerator went full retard at the end. He can change the velocity and direction of an object right? Which means he isn't actually creating something from his powers which is what touma counters.. So why not just trap touma and bombard him with steel planks or something like he was doing at the start?

The one time the antagonist decides to fight physically is the time when he doesn't need to and not to mention accelerator looks like he hasn't eaten for a week.

Accelerator defeated that easily???? LOL.
Just look at the Akatsuki from Naruto. They are very tough opponent that can't be defeated just by mere 2 or 3 episode. I thought the fight will last like 3 episodes but never mind.

Accelerator evil laugh is the best thing in this show.

Nice ending to MISAKA Arc.

Touma sure went to hospital a lot, haha.

Hmm... why is everyone liking on Accelerator? There's at least 5k members liking him. Well maybe he'd change to ally or something, but he's just completely a jerk and asshole to Misaka clones.

Misaka 10032 is clearly lying... she used his right hand to touch her chest... while we know that Touma's right hand DISPEL anything and anything. So there is no way she could listen his heartbeat. WHICH MEANS! Misaka 10032 is clearly in love with Touma that she wants "one last touch" thing.

2 more harem additions to Touma... The doctor will end up in his harem too if he visits the hospital all the time.

Is it wrong to love a robotic Misaka and real Misaka at the same time? Because I'm all for it.

In the end, I liked the episode. The confrontation sort of ended in an anticlimax, but I thought the involvement of Mikoto and the MISAKA clones was cool.

Rather, it's Accelerator himself that I found disappointing; he's just a psychopath with OP abilities. I honestly find it kind of disturbing that so many people like him, knowing that he has killed over ten thousand clones. Plus he has zero redeeming qualities, as far as I know. And I also didn't like that Touma didn't get all that creative either; he knocked Accelerator out with a single punch, as many times before.

I really like the MISAKA clones, and I'm happy for the ones that can now live, though with a reduced life span. I might even find them more likable than Mikoto, though I still think Mikoto is cool. For example, Mikoto may have anger management issues, but that makes her a bit more three dimensional, and I like that.

However, I found the part where Touma's hand is on the MISAKA clone's breast pretty dumb. It didn't seem to add anything to the scene (which shouldn't have been comedic), she could have just held his hand normally without any pandering.
