Waffles66 said: For me, this was the worst episode of the entire season. That whole scene with Touma at school with his friends and them talking about non-blood related sisters giving shoulder massages was absolutely dreadful. It had no point whatsoever and that was pretty much the same throughout the rest of the episode. Little skits that were supposed to be funny, but honestly how many times can we watch someone being walked in while showering or having their skirt blown up? I thought this show was pretty damn good at the beginning and I even rated it an 8, and gradually each week it's been going downhill. I would have dropped it down to a 5 if it weren't for the ending, which foreshadows some pretty badass fights. With 7 episodes left, please, for the love all of things good in this world, let that be the last "cute" episode. When you say "It had no point whatsoever", do you base this on an accurate knowledge of how the events that occurred in today's episode effect the rest of the arc? Touma defleaing his cat with imouto seems pretty pointless until the newly introduced character is found dead in an alleyway revealing a dark and secretive plot. Personally, I can't think of a single moment from this weeks episode that doesn't become relevant over the course of the arch. |
| Probably my favorite episode in the series so far. Not alot of action, but good character interaction and pacing. A+ |

Yumekichi11 said: Gangler said: I agree with you Gangler but I think they could do much more with Accelerator by randomly inserting him here and there, which I think it will happen soon judging by the new OP's part where he fights.Oh for sure. Accelerator is just an awesome character, and I don't think I'd be spoiling anything by saying he really shines this arch. From a writing perspective it must have taken a ridiculous level of restraint to not bring him back until now when all the necessary pieces are in place. I mean he was introduced in volume three. That's nine volumes ago. You know Kazuma was probably more excited than anyone when he put the character together. Then he just threw him on the backburner until the time was right a couple years later.. It's pretty cool^^ |
| So, there comes a Misaka-Slice-Of-Life-Episode and it firstly after a couple of episodes entertains me. So basically, this show is only good for the storyless comedy parts. |
| Finally my fav characters, Accelerator and MISAKA (not Last Order) get some decent acting time, and it seems like the next ep. will be comletely devoted to them. |
| So much lols--I had to watch it a second time. |
| THIS is what every episode should be like. 5/5 |

This is actually where the story takes off and got the index series popular. Though i did like a lot of the past episodes. |

| This episode itself was better than the entire previous arc alone! It was hilarious, i'd have to admit. When Kuroko teleported to Uihara, ha ha ha! Misaka still as timid as ever, and Touma as lost. Their scene together was too cute to bare. The new OP is somewhat of a letdown considering the previous was way more ''upbeat'' and suited to the show. I won't complain, though because I love Mami Kawada with all my heart! <3 <3 <3 I'm just glad to see the regular old ''To Aru Majutsu no Index'' back on track from that horrendous previous arc. Revolution, she said? I'm not sure how to interpret that? Let's hope for the best in the next episode! :) I'm also surprised no one has brought up Kazakiri from the first season. Absolutely looking forward to the next! |
| omgawd, so much misakaaaa <3 is that ending seriously foreals? wow accelerator makes it seem like barging into the bathroom is an everyday thing rofl. here's hoping this fun-ness continues ^_^ |

IMO The fact that she was fading and being on top of some type of structure shows a lot. I am guessing something will happen and based on the resolve it will be, I am hoping lots of drama and action. I want more than anything what happens in the following pic,I'm also surprised no one has brought up Kazakiri from the first season. Absolutely looking forward to the next!  Accelerator royal action pawning. What bothers me is that he mentions that he can only last 15 minutes? Ah shit, someone remind me of what exactly made him limited. Memory blank there, seriously. |
alexcampos said: Then, it's not TaMnI anymore, It'll be like, "That Biribiri can't be this cute" series, that's no fun, Index and the others also has their moe, and slice of life points, you know :/YES!!! I really wish the author would do something like that... I would personally like this series more if there were no index. |

MorsvirSyphin said: On the note of Index not appearing, I think it's important to remember that, despite the title, she's not the main character. She's one of many members in the Kamijou Faction growing in Academy City. I know a lot of people would say that Kamijou Faction == Kamijou Harem, but I've really got to disagree on that point. There are quite a few people that would ally with Touma in an emergency situation that aren't female. Riiiiigggghhhttt... like that's the case. The story revolve around her and Touma, in the story's case, she is the main heroine on the magic side, while Mikoto is the main heroine on the science side, not much is known about her since her memories and her true self hasn't been fully revealed yet, if you're reading the novel, you'll notice her existence is far more important than anybody else, her story has the same pace as Touma. The Anglican Church needs her, more likely, Laura Stuart needs her for a great 'something', while Kamijou Touma is an absolute neccesity for Aleister Plans. Aleister Crowley and Laura Stuart... expect something big from them. Can you see now her significance despite of her short appearances? |

Yumekichi11 said: He got shot in the head when he was clearing the virus out of Last Order's head, he was using up all of his minds calcuation abilities to purge her mind so his reflection was turned off. It turned back on right as the bullet hit him so it didn't go any deeper than his frontal lobe, but that in turn destroyed his minds' ability to perform complex calculations. So now he has that thing on his neck and those headphones that allow him to use the Misaka network to boost his processing power, but his mind can only handle it for so long. Apparently the amount of time he can use it gets greater later on though..I guess my post was TL;dr but I did mention her.

| That was great, Misaka and Touma picture shot. and Kuroko lol. Also new OP is awesome. |
Lihn said: The problem is not with his mind, it's the battery of the thing on his neck, Heaven Canceller developed it and says since Accelerator was the first person have that kind of condition, it was not fully developed yet, so it is considered as a prototype.Yumekichi11 said: He got shot in the head when he was clearing the virus out of Last Order's head, he was using up all of his minds calcuation abilities to purge her mind so his reflection was turned off.

MorsvirSyphin said: Must tell you that both Index, Misaka and Touma are the main characters since season 1 til' now, if this season somehow proceed to SS1 til' Vol 15 or maybe 16?(hoping), Accel wiil be added as Main character as well :DI can't comment on the contents of the novels since I haven't read them yet. However, in the anime, she only influences the plot a few times. I have no doubt that she is important in the future, given her status as the Index of Forbidden Texts and her usefulness to all magic users. In the anime, however, Touma is presented as the main character. |

MorsvirSyphin said: It's clearly explained in season 1 that the Sisters have to wear the goggles to see electricity and magnetism, something the real Misaka can do naturally. Last Order is the administrator of the Misaka network. What this means exactly I'm not sure, but I imagine she has some kind of control over the other Sisters. I must have forgot explanation about goggles, but in this episode misaka sister 10032 answered differently. don't know why. also i don't remembered where it mentioned in anime that she's the administrator. is that when accelerator saved her in first season? and that's why misaka sisters were going to go on rampage because she's the administrator? so anyone know if she can control and order all sisters? one more question. did misaka had full control over all sisters? (i mean remote control/telepathy or whatever) |

| what an awesome episode! i've got a lot to say about this one... let's start with the OP music - bah. worst OP theme in Index anime franchise, imo. 2/5 Kazakiri Hyouka - effin great. can't wait for her reappearance, and for OP - nice vid, very different style from previous ones. but music sucks. 3/5 now, the main show Fukiyose Seiri - I WANNA RUB IT TOO!!!!!! and, she's even more moe in her new uniform!! 6/5 Shirai Kurokp - U-I-HA-RU~ oh wait, not Saten-san, and- wtf?! Kuroko suddenly became a horror anime character. 5/5 Biribiri in new uniform - hell yeah!! 5/5 Biribiri "frozen expression" - like it. 4/5 Accelerator enters shower room - no reaction. very typical of him. 4/5 Last Order stealing Misaka 10032's goggles - let's see what Misaka clone will do. next ep preview Misaka Imouto + Misaka Mikoto - heall yeah!! Laura Stuart - yey! Kazakiri Hyouka - another hell yeah!! |

| Good ep, I like the Academy City characters. <3 Accel and Kuroko. I like the old OP better. And Touma's new outfits remind me a lot of Kurosaki Ichigo. Any idea what Accel was doing when he woke up? Adjusting the range of the device or changing frequencies or something? |

He amplified the sounds (dont know the term for it vector wise) to seee if anyone was home which he picked up nothing.

IndexFanboy214 said: I think he's refering to when Accelerator briefly turned off the collar and lost his ability to understand what the television was saying. The LN went into detail about how he had to flop around a bit trying to hit that switch back into the on position, since he didn't have all that motor control. It really was a superfluous detail though. The scene isn't lessened by its' removal.Papajan said: Good ep, I like the Academy City characters. <3 Accel and Kuroko. I like the old OP better.

| Best episode of the Season. But someone please pwn Kuroko. She's annoying as hell. |
entauri.deviantart.com |
| It was funny to see how Fukiyose pwned Aogami, Touma and Tsuchimikado. xD Poor Touma, the unlucky guy who always gets beaten up by women/girls but I didn't thought that Touma wasn't only one who saw naked women but Accelerator too XD Accelerator didn't react after seeing naked women and he told them to close the door XD To be honest, I like his old hair style in 1st season more than 2nd season. ._. The Last Order was cute too, she stole the goggles from MISAKA and now MISAKA become terminator as MISAKA puts her gun on. XD |
| How cute is Misaka imouto. :3 It's lovely to see Accelerator and little Misaka again. I don't really like the OP. The songs are generally less catchy compared to the first season. |
| Omg. I LOVED THIS EPISODE! But only because Accelerator was in it~! I've been waiting since episode 7 for him to appear again. >8U I couldn't help but to scream his name every time I saw him~! >w< And I absolutely can't wait to see that epic battle with him and that other dude in the opening! I saw that guy in to Second season trailer, and I was dying to know what happened next! And now I bet it's gonna be soon!!! And that means... MORE ACCELERATOR SCREEN TIME~! *fangirl scream* |
| Poor Touma had deal with more misfortune again. This episode just assured me why Mikoto is my favorite anime character of all time. It was great to see Last Order and Accelerator again too. Definitely, the best episode I've seen this season. |

It's a shame they didn't throw in a simple line like "So I still can't..." to help clue us in. |
| Well at least they know how to make good slice of life episode. |
 |
| I really enjoyed this. This show needs more fanservice and less PLOT. |
 |
| Misaka was too cute in this one. Touma is a lucky guy even though it was a penalty game! Now we even have Accelerator barging in on the girls bathing? xD New OP is kinda slow, but it's not bad. |
 |
| Wow, love the winter uniforms! Makes me think, in both s1 of index and railgun, they were all in summer uniforms wern't they? Ha! Love the mobile phone picture taken when kuroko kicks touma, his face! Oh my, what are the misaka sisters up to? This cant be good! |
 |
| funny ep i want to see a showdown between kuroko and touma over misaka xDD |
| This whole episode was a major win, awesome Touma and Misaka scenes, Awesome new OP also. |
 |
| Awwwww yeaah!!! Biribiri <3 Awesome episode, there's never enough Misaka! |
| yeay Touma and Misaka is going together hehe i hope there's more of their lovely scene LOL |
 |
| i thought the OP was really lame, but visually wise, it was actually really good, so i ended up replaying it, but that song started growing on me... dat misaka imouto scene, i didnt think they were even capable of doing stuff like that. i just love hearing all of them talk, especially last order. i hope they hang out more often with touma.

( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| I loved this episode it was funny and had some action :) |
 Yahallo! Yatta! Baka! <!  "Humans, your existence was a mistake. Conflicts, lies, jealously, greed. You once caused me to lose everything and today I will devour everything... Because I am the Valkyrie Goddess"> |
| Why isn't this show just a slice of life series that follows this episodes formula? It's much better this way. |
| Great episode! Really liked Last Order this ep :) |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| I don't think it's a coincidence that the best episode in a while was one that had a lot of Accelerator and Misaka. I've got to wonder how the magic side can be so dull when the science side has a lot of fun and entertaining characters. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| That was a fun episode. It's good to see more of Accelerator, Last Order, and the other Misaka clones. Also, Touma is a much more tolerable character when he stops being so preachy. As a side note, I enjoyed the scene where Accelerator pulls the same stunt as Touma and walks in on women taking a bath... but with a completely different outcome. But, yeah, apparently not locking the bathroom door is an epidemic in Academy City. |
