| index fought pretty well against that golem; ubt what about her conversation with misaka, that was pretty funny ^_^ |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Wow ... Index fighting, would have never thought that could happen, even though they show glasses girl at the ending preview what's with the blue sparks? Misaka as well O_O? Looking forward to the finale. |
| Well this series wasn't exciting from the beginning but now it's just getting bring. Cliched retarded glasses girl and last-3-episodes syndrome... Wonder if they' re going to make a sequel to this crap. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Well, for me, Kazakiri redeemed herself a little with that slightly tl;dr speech about not being seen by the world until Index. Touma once again shows he is excellent at uppercutting (he should work on a finishing move, lol). Also nice to see Index's Spell Intercept, overall an okay episode. I can't believe there's only an episode left, but hopefully there's a second season since there's still a lot of the novel to cover. Oh, and I like how they had "jellyfish" as an insert song. |
 |
| Sweet episode. Way better than the last three. lol @ how that golem woman is the last vilan but also the weakest foe who got more than 1 episode(Misaka's lover was the only one weaker)... Index was awesome! But i was kinda hoping for her to use a bettter spell... |
| "Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise" |
| Index vs golem was epic. Tough nobody told her that she can use magic and that she couldn't was a lie made from the church. Well she will use magic one day anyway. Giving that they only covered a few part of the novel and that Index and Touma developement is way farter that there I await a second season :). |
 |
| Touma, you wifebeater. If it wasn't filled with 1000+1 pointless speeches I probably wouldn't have fallen asleep. Index fighting was pretty cool though. I hope biribiri joins the final battle. I need some Railgun action. |
| wow finally a plot twist, index can actually do something useful. now we just need misaka to join in. hope the 2nd season will be better than this season in terms of.......not alot of miniarcs. |
| Good episode, minus the speeches in the middle. Epic cliffhanger but we all know Index won't die. |
Pretty nice episode. It's nice to see Index back in action. Poor Sphinx, though. |
  Meh, silly cliffhanger. Nice episode though, went by very quickly. |

| Safety pins of doom? Seriously? What next? Sphinx is really a magician too? |
 |
| I was thinking, "The cat's dead," the whole time until he jumped and ran away at the end, lol. Index was cool. I'm not feeling the excitement the beginning of the series had though. Hopefully the last episode won't disappoint. |
 |
hope the 2nd season will be better than this season in terms of.......not alot of miniarcs. There will be few bigger arcs in future, but the entire story will still be split into arcs. Still, the main plot will progress faster in 2nd and 3rd season (when season 2 ends, there will be enough material for an entire season 3). Anyway, that Misaka's gaze after she heard that Touma catches a lot of girls is making me feel sorry for Touma. Else then that, a great episode filled with action, some cool moves from Index (WTF?!) and not too much filled with exposition. |
 |
| Index actually did something....am I watching the right anime? |
| Wow, more Index please. I actually started to like her after this episode, too bad there's only one more left. :< |
| Finally Index is brought back into the story, looks like the show remembered it's title. Ah well, only one episode left :p |
 |
| I actually prefer serious Index over helpless Index. There is a lot of talk in the thread about season 2, has one been announced? |

She even said "I cant use magic" in this episode lol. However I did notice her speech pattern changed a bit. It felt more like the other Index. |

| Index fights a lot better than Touma. Her mystical way of fighting is too cool.... In fact, she is disturbing the command of the golem since it's in 'manual' mode. However, when it switched to automate mode, she couldn't defend against it.... lol at the 'language system translated from Hebrew to English' . This is one of the few shows who gets so modern and complicated with magic....(remember the anti-god magic borrowed from Shinto to use against the angel since it was immune to Christian magic for obvious reasons...) |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| meh. dumb cliffhanger. how are you going to do the same cliffhanger 2x in the same arc. really disappointed in that. i need more misaka x touma. |
guitar9876 said: yep, i agree.I always thought this show needed more index. She is quite the character...lol |
 |
| after Index was saved, the show has gotten all episodic. i don't really mind it but i hope they make an S2 game8910 said: Index actually did something....am I watching the right anime? she does have a whole mega Tome of spells in her head all at her disposal. although she cannot use them directly she has the advantage of knowing any spell used against her, thus allowing her to counter them. that was a pretty awesome exchange too. |
| Index had been relegated to comic relief for a while, so good for her. I think a season two would be nice, because there are tons of characters that we haven't even met yet or have been way underexposed to (like spinmaid and Musujime Awaki). |
| <img src="http://i.imgur.com/NXj8L.png" border="0" /> |
| See Index, you can be a really cool character when the writers remember to make you do something useful. Overall decent episode. But I still hope for some BiriBiri Railgun action for the finale ;D. Season 2 looks almost inevitable at this point. |
 |
| Great episode. The background music when Touma came to rescue Hyouka was excellent. Index also had some good scenes when fighting the golem. I hope the 2nd season will start soon and to be more centered on Index. She's the main character, after all ;) |
De-JaY said: Pretty nice episode. It's nice to see Index back in action. Poor Sphinx, though. ROFL! |
| so if what she did wasn't magic...what was it? it surely wasnt "science" lulz |
 |
| It seems that she used some weak spell or vocal commands to distrupt the flow of magic... until the Golem was turned into automated mode. Can't know for sure tough. You see, they tend to cut the NECESSARY exposition. |
|
| Wow, so Index can actually fight, eh? As always, Touma's speeches are so naively stupid that they are funny. |

I hope biribiri joins the final battle. I need some Railgun action. QFT. The next episode will be the last one already? 0_0 Wow... this didnt feel like the penultimate one to me at all. ;) |
 |
| man, i can't wait until this season's over. the last 5 minutes with index fighting was pretty cool, but the first 15 minutes featured a retarded fight (why touma didn't bother to touch the golem at any point before the sorceress got away boggles the mind), and a whole bunch of your standard, boring monologues. i know there's going to be no closure to this show, but does it even deserve a 2nd season at this point? I dont know how closely the anime adheres to the manga, but unless they got a new writer and director, i'm not sure i could put up with another season of this... unless maybe it was the biribiri and kuroko show (To Aru Kagaku no Railgun perhaps?) |

| A little annoying episode but the Index fight was cool. |
 |
i know there's going to be no closure to this show, but does it even deserve a 2nd season at this point? DVD's sold quite well and the viewership has been great as well. So the chances of it geting another season are quite high. I dont know how closely the anime adheres to the manga, It is based on novels, not manga. Manga is still at the "Sisters" arc. |
|
| I am impressed on how she can fight using her own magic. I think this is the first time that she went on a battle herself. Anyway, the next episode will be the last one. I am pretty sure that they will come up with season two. Probably, I might expect more story on it though. There were just too many characters and it seems like most of them are not significant to the story. Come to think of it, I already told myself that I will ditch the story part of this show. I am merely watching it just for pure fun. |
     |
Probably, I might expect more story on it though. Judging by the novel summaries, there are quite few bigger arcs and more main plot developments coming. (some minor spoilers about what can be expected in next season) |
|
| Not a bad episode. I was bored by a lot of phantom girl's whining, and Index fighting back without "magic" was nicely animated, if a little confusing. Is next week the end? Wow. |

| Pattern spell casting was really cool. But that was one incredibly fast pattern drawing. Misaka commenting about Index's "punk clothes" and flashback from first episode were hilarous. Index disrupting and intercepting magic was also really nice to watch. And poor Sphinx indeed ^_- |

Glad to see more Index, though =P |
| Index is amazing and the insert song by Mami Kawada during the fight scene was amazing as well. Bummer, that next week is the last episode. |
| conditions for sequel are all met ☑ Unfinished light novel series ☑ Unresolved first season ☑ JC Staff |
| I would expect a second season. Actually, I will not be surprised if there will be a second season for this show. Take a good look on the studio that did this show. This will give you an idea on how the trending will be. |
