Finally some more Index in To Aru Majutsu No Index, she really could use some more screen time.

Looks like there is a new girl in Toumas harem now, this time it's the typical shy girl with glasses and large bouncing breasts^^
I wonder what part she has to play though and exactly what her ability is.

Seems there's going to be a big showdown between Magic and the Academy City finally. No more hiding!

Okay, I'm starting to get the feeling that this new transfer student Hyouka is going to be the real culprit in here. I'm not sure but I have the feeling. Her or that brown magician that can summon those golems.

At first I was like who was that new transfer girl Hinemigami, and after some time I was like ooh she's Deep Blood, lmao, although at first I thought that Index is going to be tha transfer student. :3

I didn't really get the conversation between Touma and Hinemigami in the store about Hyouka but meh, I'll just try to follow along.

Loved Index's reaction when she realized she won't be having lunch while Touma is at school.
I really thought Index was the new student but it was Aisa instead.
I couldn't stop laughing the way Hyouka was hugging Sphinx in the cafeteria.
That was a good short battle that Kuroko had. Finally get to see more of her powers and her affection towards Mikoto. XD
This is one great episode it has a lot of humor and some action plus awesome fan-service. XD

I thought Hyouka was trying to kill Sphinx when she was "hugging" him. o_o Poor cat... And hm, I don't really like characters like Hyouka, come to think of it. Oh well. I suppose the new arc still seems interesting. I like that Himegami has appeared again, and supposedly will be playing a role...

What up with that tranfer student? Aisa should've been the only one she says?
That intruder seems to have some kind of power to awaken Golems? Pretty interesting.

Besides that, there was more than enough cleavage in this episode to last for the rest of the season. >w<

Why is this so turning into a harem? Well, I guess it's not that bad and it adds some fun as well... But it's still the worst aspect of this show imo. Anyway, I loved the short fight scene with Kuroko - her power is quite useful. And it was also nice to see Mikoto fire a railgun^^ I'm curious about the Imaginary Number Sector - Five Elements Institution as Himegami told Touma it was said to be the one to control Academy City. Damn, I feel like there's a lot more to it than it'll ever be explained in anime. I really wanna read the light novel now.

Index is so damn annoying :/ If I wasn't so close to the end of the season I'd be ready to drop it, but I wanna see Touma punch this golem bitch in the face. Apparently if I was watching this series for the FALCON PUNCHes, it would've been best to just skip straight to the final arc and the sequel. Hope he decks Index at least once, that'll make the series worth it.

My guess it's because he was holding tightly to her so she either couldn't fully concentrate or since she was held in one place she could use her power. I don't think it's teleportation either, so much as her being really fucking fast.

Stake not exciting, strange thing in this series is to have the particularity of the protagonists, but except for the first arc, then they do not talk about anymore! ... Strange! New bow and new characters, for now, the best is Prof. Komoe! XD narrative a little too quiet for a shonen! Let's see how the situation will evolve, MikotoXTouma best couple ever!

Indeed.

I think her "Counter Stop" allows her to pause time, effectively moving instantly some distance (depending on how much subjective time she can traverse while the rest of the world is on pause... but that's just my theory, from the way she went poof at the cafeteria.

Except Biribiri, who Does Not Want.
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

These last 3 episodes better be used properly to explain the Imaginary Number Sector - 5 Elements Institution, and not end it like in Himegami's arc where the Vampire thing was not even explained further. Anyway, so far that blondie seems to create only Golems, which isn't really that impressive. Her power seems to rely on that chalk, but it does make a useful distraction. This Hyouka girl she seems a bit too innocent for her to be a bad person.

Kuroko x Misaka kawaii

And finally Himegami in school uniform looks kawaii.

Dat loli bloomer and well-endorsed schoolgirl fanservice...

The plot is really mysterious right now. What does that new girl want? And the one that arrived in town?

We got to see the Judgement team in action. Was pretty cool. Also, Kuroko is awesome, turning a sweet moment into a pervert occasion xD

Very bad episode. Mainly for two reasons: 1. Index appeared again.. Urgh!
2. Another unlikeable super shy character was introduced...

Less Index, more accelerator!

I have no idea why that other girl was getting changed along with Index.

She definitely seems suspicious but I don't think she's really a villain.

I thought this was pretty bad. Maybe this series is making me lose my sense of humor.

First, there's a new transfer student who may not be who she says she is. Does the show try to create any additional mystery around her? Hell no. Instead, we get pandering in the form of Touma walking in on Index and her changing.

Second, Kuroko and Mikoto have a moment after the ladder saves the former. Of course, a second later, we get the pandering again, this time with Kuroko motorboating Mikoto. Because that will really sell the moment, won't it?

Other than that, the usual rushed but still kind of boring exposition with the floating dude, etc. I worry that the tsundere syndrome will completely swallow Misaka, in this series anyways. Sherry was kind of cool, although I'm sure the show is just eager to throw her away just like most of the villains so far, that is, without developing them at all. I don't know why I'm even trying with these updates anymore.
