This was fucking awesome. Production values seem to be even higher than with first season, OP was great (never liked first season OP's) and whole thing worked as one, seamless fun experience.

Also, dat Touma speeches

I can't wait for more of them.

Oh, and Misaka was in it. Instant plus in my books

It was silenced during that moment so that we wouldn't know. We only know the effect it had on misaka.

This show never delays to bring out the bad guys---> one of the main reasons to love this show.
No clone Misaka or accelerator T__T

Have been waiting for this since i finished the first season. Didn't expect them to do the bit they missed out though but i guess it wasn't a bad idea to reintroduce some of the characthers. Forgot this show had blood this was the show i was most looking forward to this season and although it didn't really advance the plot i still liked it a lot. Also Moe Misaka is best Misaka

Misaka will always be my favorite girl in this and Index my favorite pet and I still find Touma awesome. I sure did miss Imagine Breaker
Can't wait for Accelerator to appear again he's pretty badass in the first season

after such a wait, my most anticipated anime this season.... fuuukodaaaaaa

actually, it was great to see it back, and it may have been because of that, but i loved every part of it. from the op, to getting to see kanzaki back. i know this season will be kickass, and its great seeing mikoto again after learning of her backstory. still, this anime is love. touma is still a badass with no real powers.... except for an anti power arm... xD

Well that's no good. If you can find the time it might be worth your while to watch the first season again. I can tell you from extensive testing that it doesn't lose anything on the second viewing, or third, or fourth. Obviously you could be busy or just have stuff you'd rather do. Nevertheless the recommendation has been made.

Maybe there's some cliffnotes somewhere. Or you could start a thread for people having trouble remembering to bring their queries so that the people who do can answer them.

The only thing I see making this anime truly interesting is a war between Academy City and some magic using country. An entire legion of magic users attacking Academy City would probably make for some epic shit.

ah thanks! i remember more from railgun then index =p
Railgun was aired half a year ago while the original Index was aired more then a year ago so that's obvious.


well i watched railgun 1st then index =p
I actually did the same, when i completed Railgun i wanted more and found out about Index.

I hope there will be some scenes of Misaka getting angry at Kuroko next few episodes.
Speaking of which weren't there also a few of the novels with Kuroko as main character?


Yes, Volume 8. The next few episodes will be on Volume 7, so the arc after that will be the awesome Misaka, Kuroko, Arc with Accelerator.

Not much happened in the episode, and the relation between Touma and Misaka seems a little confusing from what I remember from Index season 1. But the ending part seemed interesting. I hope that they don't start the season with filler-like episodes.

Glad we are back to Index now rather than the Railgun crap. That series was a waste of time. Touma should at least carry the enjoyment of this series for me, though hopefully the story will be interesting too.

I was afraid this episode was going to be one big recap episode but I enjoyed it even as a re-introduction episode. I didn't think they would drive straight into the plot on episode 1 since it's been awhile since Index 1 ended. Glad to see what I liked about Index made it back and what I didn't like about Railgun didn't.

Piece of shit index (the character) is still a piece of annoying shit.

Touma is still average but I have faith he will get better.

BiriBiri is probably the BIGGEST reason I'm watching this, and her appearance lasted less than 1 minute :(

In the end, not funny, not particularly entertaining, not amuzing....2/5


I really hope this is better than the first season.....PLEASE, MORE BIRIBIRI, less index

Pretty much exactly this.
Considering her placement in the OP right behind Touma and Index, she'll HOPEFULLY get lots of screen time. (I haven't read the novels or the manga, so this is just wishful thinking)

^ is it? I suppose it makes sense cause Misaka last remembers Touma from when the Aztec guy appeared. Meaning the Hyouka hasn't come into the story yet. Explains that she's not in the OP or ED...
I gotta rewatch first season. It's been a while.

Guys it's gonna be cool. If the novels are any indication it will be fantastic. Misaka will get her story arc just like last time. Accelerator will be more awesome than ever before. Everything will be alright.

I was starting to wonder whether we were developing an unpleasable fanbase, but then your comment there got me seeing it from a perspective where you don't know what's coming. In that context I can see why this isn't the most lucrative first episode.

So setting the record straight right now. It gets better. I think they just wanted this out of the way because they didn't get to do it in the first season. In retrospect I can see why this would be the scene to get cut when they weren't able to fit it all into their 24 episodes.

My only concerns are that they might skip volume 8 in favor of doing it in railgun s2, which would dramatically reduce misaka's screentime. Or that they would do neither 12 or 13 due to an inability to do both, resulting in filler.

If it stays faithful to the novels then there are no concerns (that I know of. haven't started volume 11 yet, nor have I read volume 12 or 13. This is based on volumes 7, 8, 9, and 10. So that's the disclaimer. The awesome is plentiful within those volumes.)

Thanks for the insight. I would assume they latter since that would allow for an s3 instead of wasting time on a railgun s2. J.C. still has stuff they need to deal with. (i.e. possible sequels for stuff they started this season, hayate s3 - please let this happen, shana and stuff I might have left out.) IIRC they have a lot on their plate this season.

Bakatsuki is what we've got. They translate in the order they feel like and we should be grateful for the service they provide. In anime we get to pick and choose our subtitlers. In Manga there is often options. In light novels it pretty much begins and ends with bakatsuki. If I could read Japanese then I wouldn't need them, but since I can't I thank the various deities every day that the people at Bakatsuki, and Teh_Ping in particular, are willing to use their time in a way that benefits us.
