Pretty nice episode imho. I'd try to rate it but i really didn't have any problems with it at all. Misaka is a win character, and this episode proved it even more. I say yes to Misaka. I'm soooooo glad they killed off this guy. Why? Because i was afraid it was going to turn into a few episodes of paranoia over who really is who.

The fight scene was decent, I hope Index works as a "dial a strategy guide" for awhile I really don't want to see this turning into inuyasha where every single fight the main is always protecting someone.

Also I really love how high quality the art is in this anime, I really haven't had any complaints with it as I do with some animes where there is beyond terribad episodes(bleach, welcome to the nhk, etc etc)

And what is Misakas reaction? She blushes and tries to negate whatever Touma has said, totally forgetting about the fact that there is a person dying which liked her a lot. What a cold hearted b...witch!


Now why would she help the guy who kidnapped the principal's son and tried to kill his *fake* boyfriend.... @_@


Couldn't agree more. I don't think she knew what was even happening until she saw the real guy.


You have a point there of course. He was an enemy and needed to be either retuned or destroyed. But I just couldnt accept Misakas reaction at that point. After killing a guy and listening to his last wish, her reaction should have been more demure and mature in my opinion. :P

Lol, the Index intro was hilarious.

Really enjoyed this episode, Misaka is not less great of a character. Funny episode. =D

Many nice cars in this episode too, btw. xD

[edit]: Lack of screenshots has left me in despair.

Basically. And anything with Misaka is awesome, so it's win-win.

Oh, and on a sidenote has anyone begun doing TL work on the Light Novels? Kinda hoping they'll show up eventually :s That, or I'll just echo the request for season two, especially now that I realize just how many of these novels there are, and still going strong apparently.

My opinion was that she didn't really want to kill the impostor then. Firstly, he was the one who caused the structure to collapse. Secondly, if that metal bar was to hit him then he should be killed. We didn't get to see what happened when the structure collapsed but I have the feeling Misaka somehow "blasted" the bar away before the collapse.

& LOL didn't Index get any clothes other than that "Walking Church" of hers? That shirt certainly looked like one of Touma's school shirts.

This episode = d'awwwwwwwwwwwww

I'd be on board for a second season of this show. The pacing's been pretty good so far; each episode seems like it has just enough in it, and most of it's light enough that even if they did throw in some "filler" I wouldn't mind.

Much better than last episode. Biribiri is cute.

Weird that they killed off the imitator guy with the knife already. He didn't have near enough development for anyone to care. Ah well, seems like this arc is going to be pretty fun.

This episode is pure win, simple as that. Touma definitely raised another flag without knowing it...poor guy? xD

The pacing of these arcs is just not very good at all. And the cool badass Misaka from the early episodes is replaced by some tsundere Misaka. How unfortunate.

Anyways, I found this episode entertaining, with some action, pretty funny gags and, again, fanservice. Much better than last one, imo. Oh and Misaka headbutt > Index bite, haha. :D

So who do you think the girl in the preview, next to Accelerator, is ? Looks like a younger version of Mikoto, maybe she's one of her clones ?

maybe... in light novel's vol 18 (ss2)

and in the origin, he even wasn't on the edge of death

Why was Touma calling Index using his right arm, when that's his weapon? That was just plain stupid. Okay for an filler episode, could have been better. At least there was a fight.

Filler episode? This is an episode based on novels and exists to show what Misaka feels for Touma (she acted towards him in the same manner as the Inca-man) and let her hear what he promised to the Inca-man.

There is NOTHING marking it as a filler.

From what I can gather, the very way the novels are set up can make this episode a 'filler' episode. To Aru Majutsu no Index isn't necessarily about the character Index, so episodes that seem to shift focus from her may seem filler.

Even if this were filler (it's not), I would have still thoroughly enjoyed it given the amount of Mikoto-love! Must have watched this episode 4 times already and Mikoto's deredere is just too awesome for words...

Pretty decent episode; the fake date poked a couple laughs or so out of me. I liked that Index's knowledge was useful in this episode, if even just barely.

To Aru Majutsu no Index isn't necessarily about the character Index, so episodes that seem to shift focus from her may seem filler.


That's certainly the vibe, since nothing has focused on her since the first episodes.

It would make him more of a pedo than anything.

(That's based off Index's depicted age, and not whatever 1000 years she's lived or whatever cliche may be present)

main reason to liking this episode, misaka.

seriously, the pacing so far in the series was too slow or too fast, but this episode went completely fast compared to the previous arcs. i like how touma actually has some action than having to always use imagine breaker and automatically win. also the fact that the episode didnt end up with touma in the hospital and index biting him in the head (though it was added in the beginning of the episode)

still, the pacing isnt great for this series so far. with this quick paced episode, im guessing the next episodes up until ep23 will be really fast paced to cram a lot of material, then a 2 episode ending or some sort.

I wasn't wrong in my assumption that Index was into vampirism. Blood, anyone? ^^

Misaka's so cute~

The unstoppable Kamijou-faction are to be feared. Yes, they have made themselves the enemy of the occult world. LOL xD Awesome...

Misaka's loli-alike is so much cuter~
Oh yes, more Accelerator. And a loli too. Interesting combination...

Concerning DVD vol 1, sales seem to be over 7000, this is rather good figure!
and there also is BD vol1 (I couldn't find correct sales's figure)
So we can expect season 2

Hell ya! If there's more than 10+ novel volumes, then you betcha! ^^

you missed him getting a giant nosebleed at index? not every heterosexual guy values women so little that he would have sex with them over considering how they feel.

i do think he already established that he was not into lolis(thus misaka and index were off his list already) kanzaki on the other hand, would be a handful to touma. not to mention aisa. (maybe his lack of loli interest stems from komoe's punishment classes with him)

In the matter of fact the light novels are already at Volume 16!

Yeah, seems like it's pretty far away, but I think 2-3 series is just enough to cover all the contents of the novels, without going into fillers. But I don't think the story's ending anytime soon.
