| Somehow, the fight was not as intense as I was hoping for after episode 13. But it's nice that the remaining 9,000 something Misaka were saved. The Touma x Index moment was so cute! <3 Looks like a nice relaxing beach scene is coming up. But it seems new characters will be introduced so maybe it's not just fanservice? |
 |
| Surprise, Surprise, Surprise, Accelerator had nothing to do with Index after all...which only means that this arc had nothing to do with the story at all. Boring. |
| Emmm IndexxTouma scene sure was cute :p but I still prefer Misaka :3 Next episode will be great as Touma lost his memory he shouldn't remember his parents as well xD |
 |
| lol will he ever have any other powers other than just his hand? seems like a rather dull ability. plus hes a total haxor to just reduce everyone's abilities to zero. |
| Don't underestimate power of the guys right hand ;] Wow, Index was sweet as hell in this episode ^^ |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| OK episode but nothing epic about it. Over-confidence + physical weakness -> sooner or later your ass will be handed to you. Accelerater ended up to be just another retard. I mean you try to touch the guy but he punches you in the face (although he shouldn't be able to do that). What you do? Try to get near him 5 more times, then create a ball of plasma, and when that fails you try to get near him again. Anyway, it would have been cool to see Misaka using the railgun even if she'd die instantly. Sacrifice yourself so we could see the railgun!! Well at least Index made yet another guest appearance. And here I was thinking that she'll only remain in the title of the show (for legal reasons only). PS.: Originally I wanted to ask what they'll do in the next 10 episodes, but then I saw the preview. Maybe after the beach episode there will be a School festival ep with cosplay cafe and after that a Hot spring ep |
| The thing is Touma's always hit hard to begin with but the bad guy was never touch and never experimented being hit by someone, so I belive the psycho choc has to do with his defeat... Epic episode |
     |
| Hmmm...I guess with all of the torture-esqe pacing, I was expecting a little more from this episode, but I guess it was okay. The fight between Touma and the Accelerator (does this guy not have a real name?) was decent. Though I was a bit disappointed to not see Touma blast the plasma bomb thing away with his right hand. Oh well, I wonder what the next arc is going to be about. Index has been an afterthought after being introduced and I want to see Kaori again. :( |
| Okay fight I thought it would be well.. better.. Misaka and her clones are awesome, but so is Index and her cuteness. ;3 |
| HEY! |
| I loved this episode :D And the fight was good for me. Its not like a 5 episode fight like in Naruto or Bleach :P |

Thousand-Eyes said: Touma got zapped to near-hell by Misaka two episodes back and still managed to whoop Accelerator's ass with those punches. That puts Touma at the top. Level 0 defeated Level 5. What more is there to say about it? Sure he cancels other people's abilities and it seems dull, but the fact of the matter is, he still wins. Index's appearance near the end was funny, but she isn't as likable as she was in the beginning due to her 90% absences in the last three episodes. Misaka takes the cake for likable factor. Actually, Misaka ties Himegami for most likable character in this series for me. There's just something about Himegami that I find cool. I'm looking forward to the next episode. It seems there will be some good funny =) But Himegami is a totally different person everytime we see her. Is she an emotionless doll? Is she comic relief? Is she knowledgebale and snarky? Is she a mindless child? Too inconsistent for my taste. |
| very much agree with the fact that the fight was too short. should at least add some more action to fit the fight to the entire episode, then the whole hopsital + extras in the next ep. well guess that jc staff is just cramming things to fit in 24 episodes. misaka is my favorite female cast in the series so far. i dont really like index that much. plus misaka shows more of her role in the alternate manga for the series. |
| how come there's still no Eclipse release? |
| I hate Chihiro subs... nuff said |

| Hmmm not the greatest fight scene, I mean all he did was just punch, punch and punch some more D: I guess that's the limitation of his power which kind of sucks ><, like the scene at the end though :3 very nice |
atruong18 said: Eclipse always releases on Sundays/early Mondays so they were not really late. They just have standards, unlike some groups.codename64546 said: how come there's still no Eclipse release? waiting for a high quality raw probably. their releases for TAMNI is usually on a sunday/monday. About the episode, same old, same old. Touma punches some antagonist, gets the girl. It was probably the best episode so far though. Is there supposed to be some overarching plot in this show or is it all just Touma beating up bad guys and scoring with girls? |
| A great conclusion for my probably favourite story arc so far. Misaka ftw! |
| An okay ending for this arc. The fight was quite okay. I'm looking forward to the next episode. I'm interested in what we'll be getting next. |
 That was a nice finish to the arc. Guess next time we'll get the obligatory beach episode but I'm sure I'll enjoy that one too. |

| Heh, that's true. And Index at last! <(^_^)< I kinda missed her |
 |
| meh episode, nothing too impressive. somewhat anticlimatic.... |

| nice episode though it had a very stereotypical ending. oh- can't wait for the next episode. |

This episode was cool, yet not, as I think it's still lame that Imagine Breaker is the answer to everything. All those sisters at the windmills were awesome. |

| Nice episode. Touma was so cool again, but not like when he defeated the alchemist. And now, next episode seems to be the beach episode ? Even in "serious" animes ? Touma's mother is a dangerous magician ? So cliché ^^ |
| what is "serious" about this show...it's a shounen action-comedy. |
noteDhero said: what is "serious" about this show...it's a shounen action-comedy. this statement is true. lol, sure the plots are sort of serious, but it ends in the common 'guy-gets-the-girl' kind of way. |
| The fight went pretty much as predicted: JJW009 said: Jarmel said: punch the douchbag Amen! It was kinda lame after the huge build up, but still satisfying. I'm actually looking forward to the next episode, even if it amounts to little more than fan service. It'll be good to see everyone again, and hopefully some happy moments and character development. vindemon64 said: I was a bit disappointed to not see Touma blast the plasma bomb thing away with his right hand. He couldn't do that any more than he could stop a bullet, since plasma is a physical reality no matter how it was created. His right hand is "imagine breaker" not "science breaker". I thought the wind-turbine trick was a bit of a cheat, but it was good to see so many Misaka in action and all working together ^_^ |

I don't know, the rules of Imagine Breaker are a bit wonky. |
| I liked the episode just the way it is. I definitely liked the "Good morning?" *bite* from Touma and Index at the end. So cute. As for the fight, it was exactly as long as it needed to be. It's amazing. It doesn't matter if the fight takes two episodes or 10 episodes, you are guaranteed to find someone who's going to hate the length of it because it was either too short or long. @ kuroshiroi -- Touma never scores with girls. Who are you kidding? His life is full of misfortune. They may like him, but that's about as far as it goes. This episode was good enough to give it back the 1 point out of 10 that I had taken away from it earlier. |

It doesn't matter if the fight takes two episodes or 10 episodes, you are guaranteed to find someone who's going to hate the length of it because it was either too short or long. that is very true. however having one fight last more than 3 episodes may be too much. the main part where everyone wanted the fight to be longer is the cliffhanger in the previous episode, just to have the next episode lead to a somewhat repetitive fight that last only half of the length of the episode. the fight should have added more variety to be able to last the entire episode, giving it a better sense of the ending. but like i said a few post ago, jc staff is probably rushing some of the story to be able to stay as 24 episodes, so the fights cant drag on too long. also its a running theme so far for touma to end the arc by sitting in the hospital bed apparently. my guess is the episodes up until the 2nd opening theme (ep15?) will just have all the characters in place for the new crisis. aka, when magic and science REALLY meet. i must be bored for writing this long post. |
| man, I really felt something when Touma was doing the punch chain awesome episode, Misaka > Index. |
| *cries* No more Misaka Arc ='( And I agree with the -nii, Misaka ftw! FALCON PUNCH! xD |
| And so ends the best arc of what I've read so far. And it ended very nicely too. I'm glad that the fight was kept short, and well done too. Next episode is yet another one of those beach episodes, but I think I'm gonna like it. I'm hoping that the other magicians will be introduced soon too. |
 |
| I wouldn't have mind seeing Accelerator reaching level 6, since his powers are pretty damn badass already. His laugh is a little weird though. This isn't the end for him though, is it? I want to see more of him in the future. ;D |
| Wow nobody has battle tactics in this anime except for Mikoto. Touma could have tried and punch Accelerator while he was talking or charging plasma(any person that plays RPGs know you destroy the boss before he charges up his super attack, not to mention it's called common sense), instead Touma just waitied until Accelerator was ready. Accelerator was horrible because he didn't realize that Touma was only good at short range(which after 10,000 battles it seems you would pick up some basic strategies) and just kept rushing and kept getting pwned. Mikoto knew her role was support and acted like it. Index was kinda funny but wtf there has been essentially no development on the story front except that Touma with every arc picks up a new chick for the harem. |

| First, he can move: Then he can't: Where is the logic in that? |
 |
| Man gotta love a Misaka or Index on your back. Nice beach episode next maybe. |
 |
| NOOOO, MISAKA DONT LEAVE ME!! All in all, this arc was really satisfying for me. Nice fights, Great humour and one of the most interesting characters I came across so far (Misaka). ^^ Hopefully this was not the last time she showed up in this show.... noteDhero said: Surprise, Surprise, Surprise, Accelerator had nothing to do with Index after all...which only means that this arc had nothing to do with the story at all. Boring. From my point of view its not bad that there are different incoherent arcs in this show. That brings some change and variation in the storyline and opens up the world a bit more in my opinion. Its not all about Index and her vast knowleadge of magic spells, but also about other characters which have to deal with totally different problems and situations.

Try to get near him 5 more times, then create a ball of plasma, and when that fails you try to get near him again. QFT. When Accelerator was flying towards Touma AGAIN after losing control of the plasma ball, I couldnt believe it. This guy can bend steal rails and throw it against his opponent without breaking out in sweat. Why would he make the same mistake three times in a row? Kvakond said: PS.: Originally I wanted to ask what they'll do in the next 10 episodes, but then I saw the preview. Maybe after the beach episode there will be a School festival ep with cosplay cafe and after that a Hot spring ep Hopefully not.....wait....after giving it some thoughts....maybe that wouldnt be that bad. ^^ |

| great! Harout said: I just love the ending of this episode! warm feeling num num ^_^ 6/5 |
 |
| That was a great episode. I really liked it. BTW: Has Accelerator ever made such weird sounds before? Oô |
| Touma has a mean right. Kinda a meh type episode. |
