Not so much to say about the episode except that it was a good start. Index melted my heart just after a few moment, and her line just as she left: "will you follow me to the very ends of hell?" was just <3<3<3

"Shana for grown ups" is my catch phrase for this show.

The main male character is not useless! Who would've thought?
I hope Mikoto(rail gun girl) is a main character as well, she's spunky.

I just wanted to add a few terms.

Based on the 103 000 forbidden texts, the many that came from Three Main books, those books are books from our world but the names have changed, I figured one for sure and the other looks similar to one also but the there is one that has no significance....well, it is anime so somethings are invented.

So Index's real name is Dei De Cartas (545 ID number but for what exactly is unknown other than perhaps identifying her within the city but why would the magic association go for her other than greed or fear????) which rings ancient French or Italian name...could it be Spanish? Most likely Italian/Spanish of 14th/15th/16th century.

So the city apparently is there in order to wake paranormal powers within people through medication or therapy, which I concur are the many ways open to such possibilities.

Misaka Mikoto is level 5 and there are 7 others.....apart from Fire Mage in #2...Who The Hell are the others????????????

I AM ALLLLLLLLLLLLL THE WAY IN.

BTW I LOVE THE OP AND I JUST LOVE IT! It's the music!

After the strong points of the first episodes where the animation, art, design, sound and just about anything shallow you can think of. I just hope that this will not be one of those shows where things will be left unexplained or points you towards the manga (cause if I was interested in it I would have read it from the beginning)...

wow right from the first few seconds of the opening this reminds me quite a lot of Shakugan no Shana (yay for Mami Kawada OP) as well as the atmoshpere and the supernatural part of it.
Seeems like one of the better works of J.C. Staff, looking quite a lot forward to more.

I'm looking forward to this, as the main character actually shows a backbone at times not to mention character interactions is good. Also once again very much reminds me of Shakugan no Shana.

I haven't checked out this a show of this type (loli-adventure?) in a while, but this doesn't look too bad. The characters seem interesting (though I'm not so much on the lightning girl), and the OP theme and graphics were pretty nice. I'll definitely give it a few more episodes.

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.

Notice that the main character is well-characterized:
1) He's chivalrous enough to try to stop a potential fight between lightning-girl and the punks;
2) He's chivalrous enough to eat bad food so Index doesn't eat it alone;
3) He's rude enough to verbally disrespect lightning-girl;
4) He's forthright enough to challenge Index.

Let's hope the other characters get similar telling traits.

By the way, OPENING THEME ROCKS! Techno beats FTW!
