| 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? |

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 :). She didn't use magic. 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. |
Kvakond said: 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. 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. |
game8910 said: Index actually did something....am I watching the right anime? I think it's more like we're finally watching the right anime. |
| 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. |
|
| Touma is one of the worst main characters I've ever seen (together with Takumi from chaos head and Tatsuhiro from NHK...bunch of loosers) so Touma who has the ultimate antimagic left hand prefers uppercutting a poor defensless girl than destroying a golem??... Hopefully Index was great in this episode (WTF??) and Misaka noticed something so she might be joining her in next episode... The main character of this serie sux(touma) but still all the characters surrounding him are pretty intresting(misaka/flame mage/samurai girl/anti vampirejap beauty...)so I hope this serie will get a 2nd season... |

Temuthril said: A poor defenseless girl who just happens to be trying to kill his friends. Lol thats not the point ...and besides Touma hitting a girl turned him into a total looser -.- he only had to tuch her... c'mon he is used to fighting barehanded against other people (because he has no powers...) so he should be strong enough to imobilise that blondie without beatting her...Awwww I miss the good old heroes who wouldn't hit a lady >< formosan said: I would have preferred it if they had stuck with the original premise and done a show about Index. I was hoping for a show about magic, and girl with grimoires in her head, not a show about every loose idea the writer had floating around in his notebook. Yea this show should be about Index and her magic grims I don't know when that Touma looser decided to take her place as the main char -.- |

The reason he hit her was because he hoped she would be unable to use a spell (he was wrong tough... obviously she was a tough nut). The only way to stop her would be to destroy the golem AND take care that she is unable to summon another one and that would mean wounding or killing her. And in reality, when a life and death situation emerges (like: a terrorist (since she gotlabeled like this, she probably killed a lot of civilians) that is able to kill big number of people and who needs to be stopped at all costs), there is no gender discrimination. Unchivalrious as it may be, nobody gives a fuck about genders when you need to take down the enemy. Saving lives always comes first. |

| The fact that we're nowhere near a conclusion gives me hope for season 2. |

She was just interfering with the Golem's command signal by distorting it's actions. Furthermore, in the novels, Index doesn't know she can use magic and no one has told her about this. If she knew, she would become one of the most powerful wizard on Earth. |

I haven't grasp the light novels yet so I really have no idea about it. |

| wow a nice episode, seem like the end wont be that bad. was nice to see index fighting. |

 |
| Index was cute and very cool at the same time (was surprised that she had more than 20sec of air time.) Biribiri is scary, but hot. I bet those tears were Kazakiri's. |
| Oh yay, I finally got to see Index attack mode again.:D |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
