| Woah that intersected perfectly with index S1. Also looking at the screenshots in this thread, I never noticed how much the quality has improved :O I thought it always looked the way it does now but with slight improvements lol. Then again, it's clear the budget has increased greatly from S1 of index thanks to its success. |

Stark700 said:  This is kinda cute. This reminds me of Itachi from Naruto... lol. I liked the episode. I give it a 10/10. I liked how J.C. staff not only used Railgun source material but also LN 3 source material, the finger accelerator was chewing... (even if it was disgusting and horrible to watch, it was true to the source material, which I liked). Seeing Mikoto flip out and hit the street light hard enough to get a bruise was pretty intense. It was also nice to see how she finally realized her enemy is the whole city. This makes it darker than season 1 which was about how she wants to protect the city and fights the enemy. This time she has to fight the city and everything it embodies to save her clones... If people want to hate on Touma, realize first that it's his being there and Mikoto's friends that are stopping Mikoto from going completely insane and breaking down, so I appreciate his being there. I actually don't like his new look. I hope it grows on me. I wish it stayed true to his LN look more... but it'll obviously grow on me... The music when Kuroko met Touma was excellent :D Uiharu has a dirty mind ;) Great episode. 10/10. |

| Ah the nostalgia...ToumaXBiribiri moments are always fun |
| Hm... Interesting that no one commented on the changes between this scene from the first season of Index. It was more than just a simple perspective shift and re-animation, they actually changed up a ton of details such as how Mikoto got the drinks out of the vending machine and Kuroko's interaction with Touma... While I personally don't mind the changes, it would have been nice if they had kept the sequence of events/dialogue the same, seeing that this is a crossover between the two series/seasons. |

| ^ I now understand why I never felt like buying the DVD for Index but I feel the urge of buying the Railgun2 BD... |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
symbv said: ^ I now understand why I never felt like buying the DVD for Index but I feel the urge of buying the Railgun2 BD... It's pretty amazing how far they've come in 5 years, and how little I noticed until I did a side-by-side. By the way, the part where Misaka kicks the vending machine is the same animation sequence. I'm pretty sure they took the old one and just dressed it with the new art. It's pretty much exactly the same including the cityscape in the background and the various trees. |

To me it is more like Index is about Touma's recollection of events and Railgun S is about Mikoto's. You ask two people to describe something that happened to them and each would tell you a slightly different version. |

Next episode, Touma with koneko. :) But after that, bad things I remember from Index. *sadface* Tree Diagram's Destruction never becomes public knowledge until, at earliest, the Remnants Arc for obvious reasons which are made more clear during that arc. In other words, nobody (not even the people who destroyed it) knows about Tree Diagram being shot down via Dragon's Breath at this point. |

| Wonderful background story from Biribiri's view I loved the night panorama of Academy city as well Kuroko is the best! :3 |
Yurireviews said: If the arc after this turns out to be what LN readers think it will be(there were hints all over the place in previous eps),Arts and Science City arc,you will have both "girl fun" and plot.The whole arc is basically a Even though I didn't really mind the first season to have more random episodes than those that actually had something to do with the main story, I still like they way they structured the second season more. I guess I still miss the little fun time with all the 4 girls together, but the story is very interesting right now and I really do want to see how things continue from this point on. Still I have a feeling, we will get to see at least some more unrelated episodes with just the girls having fun together and i also can't wait to see that, especially when knowing that things will definitely turn out hilarious as long as Kuroko is around. |
| This was an interesting episode in terms of how this portion of the arc is being adapting. I was surprised to see scene that were only in the novel version. The episode itself was great. It was nice to see Touma and Misaka interacting with each other again. The music and tone when Misaka found the experiment wasn't over was perfect. It was nice to see Accelerator's backstory early. I look forward to see what is coming next. |
| Really liking the overlap with Index and seeing classic scenes with more back story and from different perspectives. Nice to see some more on the origin of the experiment with Accelerator too. |
 |
| So I did a quick check up with the season 2 Index Loli-swap episode... The more I am looking at the Index anime, the more I am disappointed, it really could have been better, though some of the scenes seem a bit of drawn out, it could have been dealt with carefully to make the boring moments exciting. Like for example, when touma was buying the Chick donuts for MISAKA, he could have been portrayed as stabbing into the chick very swiftly, then having a smug/disgusting face, then saying: "Not bad... For something that was in an experiment" while looking at MISAKA directly in the eyes for what she saw, for more LULZ |

| Oh, this episode helped jog my memory a bit about Index s1... no wonder Touma couldn't remember, he had amnesia after Index's arc. To be fair, the Index anime made it seem like too little of a factor in his life, almost as if it didn't really matter and nothing was really lost (maybe that really is the case). Poor Mikoto, making the realization that despite all that hard and dangerous work nothing really changed hit her hard. Like a storm on her parade. Despair sets in from that false sense of peace vanishing from her mind. Judging by her question for Kuroko and that nobody in the city seems to know that Tree Diagram has already been destroyed by Index at this point (Touma already has amnesia, so yeah), I think she may be planning to attack a facility directly involved with the operations of that supercomputer... I liked seeing more perspectives behind this arc, not only from Mikoto's side but also this time, a bit from Accelerator's side. Hmm, it's a new ED (or a special ED?) by Yuka Iguchi - I can recognize that singing voice of hers now. Not as immediately to my liking as Grow Slowly, but maybe I'll warm up to it after a few more plays. |

Perhaps it is more significant in the novels. |

dniv said: Here's a gift and a present/doomsday notice depending on how you see it: Episodes: 13 through 16. Sisters arc ends with the 16th episode. (Like I predicted). Starting episode 17 anime original arc with Kuroko and Co. it also apparently has a character that only had a one-time appearance in the manga. (Maybe Amai, Haruue, Index). I'm guessing that since LA city is around 4 episodes long they might/probably be able to squeeze it in there. I'm hoping they will. But they may not... (lol) And Good Episode. I enjoyed it. (to be relevant). I liked how they moved the flashback earlier. I also liked how the director actually read the light novel (impressive). I also liked how Mikoto punched the streetlight and got a bruise. That was a BA moment. Touma's animation will take some getting used to. I like his LN animation style better lol. Hope Index Team does it better in season 3. But I'll probably get used to it. The animation quality is much better, I'll admit. I liked the new ending theme. Oh Meigo's Seiyu :D I wonder if the new opening theme by Fripside (it's been officially announced) is premiering next episode or episode 17. Great! They let freaking Index's VA to do the ending, what the hell? My least favorite part about the Index series is Index, even though she is a major part of it... I don't like the fact that the second half will be Anime-only, but maybe when season 3 comes(and it will) they will add in the lovely Shoukuhou Misaki(☆) and start her arc, hopefully the manga would have enough material by then. |

| Hmmm. i dint realy watch the parent story what if touma fight accelerator i think touma can win mikasa should stop shouldering all of the burden and ask for help just kill accelerator and the project will stop |
| OMG KUROKO. YOU MAKE MY LIFE COMPLETE. Oh how I've missed youuu. |

Stark700 said: Also, is this the first time that Saten and Touma are in the same show? I'm pretty sure they were both in the prequel Railgun anime. Touma only made a few appearances there, though. |
 |
| *Sigh* Poor Kuroko, she wants to help but her own self righteousness is the very reason she can't. Great episode. |
| The ending and ending song really felt heartful, an another amazing episode |
 |
| Enjoyed this episode, even if it is just a reselling of the sisters' arc of Index I, glad to see more explanation and backstory. Looks like the next few episodes will be retellings too. The new ED is pretty decent as well. |
| It's been so long since I watched Index, I was also getting frustrated with Touma not remember anything. And then I remember that he really can't remember anything. |

| I'm enjoying this arc. It's fun to watch stuff unfolding from another perspective. |
| Holy shit... this is just way too good! |
 |
| Pretty steady development, I do wonder what will happen next! This show needs more Touma though! |
