| It becomes more interesting and the battle begins, looking forward for the next episode. zimno said: Ouch! Yeah, that hurted me, too. |
| Good ep.^^ The nuns remind me of the Red army, if you take one of them down then ten more will come ( and they are as useless. -.- ). @_@.- Now the only thing thats is needed is a Kung-fu priest. Like this I give it a 4 out of 5. ;D |

It's not that the problem it's more the following scene that made it look disgusting, let's just the after effect of the action.  Now tell me that is not disgusting to see? Well what does anyone think? For me it was realistic except for one thing, IRL you die most likely of it or at least cannot hear for the rest of your life. |

| Oh shit dayum!!! now I regret being a Catholic -_-;; |

alexcampos said: They're not completely based on reality you knpow. I'm quite sure magic and espers don't exist. =pOK, sometimes I don't fully explain myself, when I said "more religion bullshit", I meant the idealogical crap that was spewing from the mouth of Agnese Sanctis, and then you had Stiyl say that the minute the cross was placed on Orsola she became part of the Anglican Church??? BEYOND RIDICULOUS, not only as a religion thing, but as a plot device... I don't mind that this anime has theological aspects which include the Anglican church, the roman catholics, or any other religion, but it's HOW they do it that annoys me and turns me off. That said, Stiyl didn't meant she joined the Church of England just by wearing the cross. He merely meant she came under their protection once the cross was given to her. He actually admits he's stretching the rules so even he knows he is just spouting bullshit in order to find a way to enter the fight without breaking the rules. I think you are just taking things too personal in the religious aspect. Are you religious? It would explain a lot. |

| Index was awesome. :3 |
| Good episode, I get to see Tsuchimikado for the first time in a few episodes. Hopefully he does some fighting this season. He's one of my favorite side characters. I don't think i could ever do what those nuns did to their ears... Kuro4735 said: Someone could make a falcon punch GIF out of this... |

| I reject your reality, and substitute my own. |
| i saw some ppl talkign bout itsuwa..i didn see her |
kokoro_412 said: IIRC she's the one from the Amakusa Church that has a sort of spear weapon. She knocks outs the nuns who blocked Touma's exit when Touma starts to escape with Orsola. You know, the girl he sort of nods at.i saw some ppl talkign bout itsuwa..i didn see her |

GOD NO!!!.....no pun intended :) I'm ANTI-Religion, but I don't mind it when I see it on anime, again it's HOW it's done that annoys me, not the fact that it involves religion. There's a lot of Religion in HELLSING Ultimate, but I've never once spoken in criticism of how it's presented in that show, in fact I have Hellsing as one of my TOP 10 favorite anime of all time... |

I don't mind that this anime has theological aspects which include the Anglican church, the roman catholics, or any other religion, but it's HOW they do it that annoys me and turns me off. Like Occult Academy quoted at the end of their episodes, unless you believe in them. Leon-Gun said: That said, Stiyl didn't meant she joined the Church of England just by wearing the cross. He merely meant she came under their protection once the cross was given to her. He actually admits he's stretching the rules so even he knows he is just spouting bullshit in order to find a way to enter the fight without breaking the rules. I agree with your thinking here. Orsola could have just been a normal civilian who was though too dangerous by the Church because she understood a dangerous book and thus all this happened. Leon-Gun said: I am too but know complaining is useless, only voicing yourself. I had a damn problem with any fan service with nuns and that included the threading Seikon no Qwaser. Poor Teresa :( the way she was treated in that series.I think you are just taking things too personal in the religious aspect. Are you religious? It would explain a lot. Forgot to add to ignore that with hentai it's just a different matter. |

| Hmm, i don't think you need 103000 books to find contradictions in the Catholic teachings... Damn, i feel deceived too, Agnese is a very bad girl :( |
Yumekichi11 said: Fanservice scenes in general are usually pointless. The one with Agnese and Index barging into Touma's tent was particularly stupid.

Where I live there's actually a religious singer who's called like you so it I just had that stuck in my head.Leon-Gun said: I think you are just taking things too personal in the religious aspect.

Also, I dare say Hellsing is rather tasteless in it's handling of all subjects so I really can't get on my head how TAMNI is in any way worse in it's handling of religion than Hellsing. I mean, I'm pretty sure there was one bloody insane Catholic Priest in it, let alone the two vampires who work for the Church of England. |

| lol its funny because some catholics may actually stab their own eardrums to do crazy orders. i loved this episode. index is definitely one of the best anime ever. now, i enjoy action as much as the next person, but the story is brilliant. if only i could read the damned novels... i would be so much better off. can't wait till bakatsuki take their time to translate novels 1-9, because i really would read them. light novel transition into anime by jc staff will always be a +9000 otherwise i am hearing good stuff about that one girl who saved touma. i liked her from the beginning, so i think i will keep on liking her considering the spoilers i've seen. (one...) Index's abilities just keep on coming, and i am really enjoying it. although stiyll is just as badass as always,and touma keeps on becoming a better male lead. this anime is full of win... |

| *_* mm. I enjoyed seeing Itsuwa in this episode~ Hoping to see more of her in the upcoming episodes. :3 |
     |
| I don't get all this religion stuff Oo ..but I don't care, the episode was nice, but the end was * ouch * |
 |
| I bet those people who said Index was useless are eating their words now. Good episode. |

jpem said: I don't see any problems with the line. The nuns believe themselves to be in the right, since they are following proper procedure and they also believed Touma to be part of the Church of England. Since this was an internal Catholic affair, Church of England members are not supposed to get involved. When Touma punches her she's basically surprised that a member of the Church of England would break the status quo. Sadly for her Touma is an atheist and he doesn't really cares about keeping the status quo between Magic and Science.that chick voiced buy kugumiya rei or whatever pisses me off. when touma punched/pushed her she says"what was that for".....ARE YOU SERIOUS. thats just some bad dialogue right there. you beatin some chick's ass and your shocked when someone stops you. wtf? just bad on the script writers part. To make it short, Touma was not supposed to get involved hence the surprised reaction. Does that make it simpler to understand. |

| I was hoping for some decent bad assery when Touma walked in on the nuns at first, but this is fine too. Nuns stabbing their own ears O_O |
| I though someone should mention this but Magnus burns a nun. Leon-Gun said: I don't waste time hating unless it is a must and Agnese is a must now! Not cool stomping Orsola at all. alexcampos said: I wouldn't waste my time hating you.Why not ask the Hardcore Index fans (People who hate me)... |
kilbiller said: This is why I hate religions, fucking mass brainwashing >implying Index offers valid portrayal and commentary on any religion on earth oh, you! Retartedness of anime fans never stops amazing me Anyway, great ep. Awesome fightan' As always, japanese anti-catholicism is amusing as hell. I really hope Oppai Kanzaki gets to kick some ass in next episode |

| I find amusing that they only put the catholic church in a bad light. Anyway pretty mediocre episode, though nuns piercing their ears was unexpected. |

Soulstrider said: Yeah same here. Only 2 Churches with one being a 2 faction Anglican one. Where the heck is the Russian one from season 1? That would be a three faction battle. I also wonder if the Anglican faction is meant to be also the Protestant faction VS the Catholic one.I find amusing that they only put the catholic church in a bad light. |

Ah, let's also not forget the seal they placed on Index so she could not betray them and the lies they fed to Stiyl and Kaori in order to keep them on a short leash. In TAMNI 'verse all religions have evil masterminds. Also holds true for the Science side and the non-religious magicians. |
