This is a pretty silly arc, I'll admit. If I didn't know better, I would think this is a mystery/supernatural series, and not action/sci-fi, as the genre tags would lead one to believe. So yeah, instead of action or interesting locations, we get lots of dialogue. And normally I like dialogue focused anime, when it's executed well - which in this case, it isn't, really. The characters just don't quite sell it to me.

Is this anime even about Index?


Indeed, "A Certain Magical Index" is certainly an artifact title at this point. "A Certain Supernatural City" would have been more accurate, although it might not have sold as well. My guess is that the lack of appearances of Index might also be due to the writers of the anime adaptation switching up the order of chapters or entire arcs from the source material.

Well it could only be the Russian girl or his father since everyone else was either known or looks like someone he knows. But why would that Russian girl tell him that the angel is incomplete if she's the magician? So his dad was the only possible option left.

Welp, now I'll have to search for some lewd Kaori fanart.

I'm kidding, I actually already did when she first appeared.

Touma's father was already suspicious from the moment he appeared, so that's not really much of a surprise (unless this is a red herring, but I doubt that). Himegami was too good! I'm really liking this arc. One thing that bothered me when Touma came running to Kaori in the end asking where was his father was... why didn't he call her? Tell her to keep an eye on him and to look for Misha or something like that. Phones exist in this world, I remember him calling hospitals way back. Well, since he said he wants to take care of this himself, maybe he didn't call her so she couldn't act alone, but it still feels a bit unsatisfactory...

Just when I was starting to be disappointed they weren't making use of Aisa in all the body switches, the episode delivered her in a big truck :)

Glad they brought Kaori back for this arc, and hoping we get some more background and/or character building for her.

Man, this was excellent. They used the characters in the show intelligently.

In the OP, loli sensei bumping into Yomikawa's boobs was funny. Also, Kanzaki in Stiyl's form was funny. I think both Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori are destined for each other.

Kaori retains her hotness every episode. And LOL at Touya getting flustered over his father sleeping with Index. But of course, if his mom looked that hot like in picture, I would bang her too.



Nice deducing that the hooded blonde was behind this and that his father had something to do with it.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Mmm, Kanzaki is in the form of Stiyl. Her reaction is funny lmao. So, Touma's dad caused Angel Fall. What about Misha?

Aisa's scene was hilarious lol.

It was kinda obvious it was his father the whole time.
Like they kept saying it was someone close to Touma, and every other member of Touma's family has had their face switched with someone else.

So there's literally nobody else it could be.

Hmm so many events have been changed, The most major one is Hino Jinsaku part that was cut down and as a result a big portion of suspense was wasted away.
Also Kaori's fortune part and why she left the Amakusa we so poorly conveyed :|
Except for that I cant complain, I know it's so hard to cover the this arc in 3 episodes but I'm enjoying it.

And I have to give credit to Aogami pierce seiyuu for how he can imitate Index's way of speaking XD

If you see it from Touma's perspective he doesn't remember how his dad looks like in the first place, and Kaori, Tsuchimikado & Misha haven't met him before so it wasn't known if that man's appearance has changed or not

Hm.. So blonde guy also is thankful to Touma for saving of Index?.. Is it mages' or church position talking in him or something?.. Or was he also familiar with Index once, and not wishing others to keep getting traumatized by Index' amnesia that was previously?.. Or why he says this, I wonder?..
Eh?.. Why Touma was against their parents having sex, though, and potentially giving him sibling?.. I mean, it's their business really..
This arc is really enjoyable.. We don't get about characters much, but we get about possible bizarre roles characters could take, which is also interesting.. ;P

Kinda weird how Touma just straight away it was Misha tbh, glad the anime fast forward the house scene since that plot point was quite unneeded in the LN

Getting interesting now. Is Touya really the caster, or did he just get something he probably shouldn't have from one of his international trips and is being used as a scapegoat? Not seeing a reason for Touya to want to or even have the ability to cast the spell, and then Misha's been rather withheld.

One of them, both of them, or even someone else?!

For lulz, we got Geisha taxi driver, Himegami truck driver, and Kanazaki fanservice. Touma better have saved that view deep into his memory just incase he gets hit by another Dragon's Breath in future ;)

huh, so Touma's dad is at least involved with this in some way, interesting indeed.

My guess is that a fight is about to take place, and a big one at that, should be good.

What has me confused is how fast Touma got to the house, surely a train in Japan would be fast enough to outpace a car pretty easily.
