Wow, this episode was actually really interesting. I knew that Touma would end up fighting against the guy from the preview in the last episode, but I didn't expect the arc to continue afterwards, going into more depth about the mysteries of the roman church, and how it operates.

The fight itself was pretty intriguing, with the enemy having a very unique power that Touma had to improvise against to pull out a win. Touma x Stiyl combo was funny, and worked surprisingly well.

Great buildup episode. It looks like the actual enemies may turn out to be those nuns that we've been seeing a lot of in the past two episodes. The whole "roman church" aspect to this episode just made the entire arc much more intriguing. I did get a little laugh out of Index's bite attack on Touma, as usual, but for the most part, the episode was rather serious.

Index needs to stop biting, it's annoying and that sister is batshit insane trying to kill Touma just because he touched her on the shoulder which isn't even suggestive.

Spreading Christianity is supposed to bring salvation? That sentence itself is pure hypocrisy!!
More people have been killed because of religion then for any other reason, wasn't it Christianity that started the crusades?
And ironically pretty much every sacred such as the Bible or the Koran say that you should not harm others.
There was even a bishop who mention, killing in his name is a insult to God.

Touma was cute when putting that necklace around that sisters neck, he should know that she didn't meant anything romantic with it.
And the cliffhanger was nice.

Good, i am not the only one getting Mugen vibes. =P
Agreed, that girl basically got taken down by a bottle of mustard. Thankfully, the other battles were better, and index was useful.

Feels like nothing has really happened 3 episodes in, but i guess that is because the first episode was a separate story. I completely get what is going on by now though unlike last week!

Looking forward to see Touma try and rescue Orsola.

This episode seemed really short o_O. It did not feel like 20+ minutes at all. The episode was good overall. Feinting after a tackle is really dumb though and was Touma really okay after that hit?

They should have showed some Amakusa vs Nun fight it would hve been interesting seeing nuns fight.

Index did a small thing this episode and the preview suggests she will actually do more next time. maybe the Johann's Pen self defense thing taht she used to blow up tree diagram.
Ayako using stiyl now instead of whatever they used last week (Steyl?)
its hard to find an OP and ED that i dislike this season.

The episode really did feel short for me too, though it was great.
index seems really useless just standing around and biting, but she seems to be getting more serious though. That cliffhanger left me wanting for more!! can't wait to see touma kick some loli nun ass! d:

Ahem, Pretty Good episode. Nice Teamwork by Stiyl and Touma there. Though I also do wonder what it was that he was using, maybe its similar to whatever Kanzaki uses. Not very sure though, cause I hardly remember it. Man did Lucia go crazy or what?......I think I'm in love with her!! and that weapon of hers is cool too!

Anyways, people need to stop whining about Misaka. Go wait for Railgun S2. This is about Index and Touma

It was a decent episode. A little build up, mixed in with a little action. Lacked a little in story development aspect though. The episode also felt immensely short. I still look forward to next week's and hopefully a little more entertaining! :)

Index: "Touma, Touma, Touma, Touma, Touma, Touma, Touma, Touma....."

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!



Anyways, here is my Scoreboard for episode 3:

Touma tackling that stupid girl..........................+1
More Religion Bullshit.....................................-1
Ripoff Mugen making the real Mugen facepam.......-10
Roman Catholics as the potential badguys...........+1

Overall, I still find this increasingly annoying and I deeply want to go to the "Science Side", also would someone PLEASE kill Index.......2/5

People need to shut up already about Biribiri, She's just a semi-important character who gets far more important later on. In the end though the main character of Majutsu no Index is Touma and to a certain extent Index.

And to be honest, we got 24 episodes of Science side last year and it wasn't too interesting, unless you are into lesbians and BFF slice of life with a touch of action.

To make it short : all the Railgun fags, get the fuck out.

What's so hilarious is that you have Moka for an avatar. Whose only words for quite a long while were "Tsukune, Tsukune, Tsukune, Tsukune, Tsukune".

Anyway, this episode was pretty good. I can finally see some sort of ongoing plot in the works instead of disjointed arcs that don't really have much to do with eachother.

Hilarious how you contradict yourself about Mikoto, you do know that only hardcore fans call her BiriBiri right???

You do know the majority of people can't stand that piece of shit character named index right???

It wasn't about the "science side" it was about single handedly the greatest character this AVERAGE series has come up with, it's crystal clear that if Mikoto were not in Index, the whole damn series would probably go from mediocre to unwatchably BAD.

"unless you are into lesbians" .....LOL, no dude we all want to see Touma ass rape Index *rolls eyes*

Surprising plot twist is surprising. I think the necklace Stiyl gave Touma whom then later gave to Orsola would do something later. Still no idea what the necklace actually does though, LOL.

And man, is it just me or are some of you guys divided into magic side and science side? The pointless flaming you guys are throwing at each other is getting on my nerves. -.-

I like to know who set the rule that only hardcore fans call her biribiri, obviously the reference can be found in first episode season 1 of TAMNI

I am a huge Mikoto fan my self too but is really sad to see how Misaka fanbase acting so self centered just because they think their character is the best and deserve the most screen time and other doesn't. Your actions will only spread more hate on Mikoto.

if you want story to go according to your will, please, make your own fanfiction will ya?

Misaka is just like all the other 5 million tsunderes that's spreading like a plague in animes. I could careless if she plays a major role in Index or not. The only reason I like this series is because of the whole esp science thing, I guess magic is pretty cool but all the religious crap pisses me off. Those nuns are an eyesore. Yes I said it.

When Moka did it, it was for COMEDIC purposes and an obvious spoof (hence the cheezy music they would play).

When Index does it, it's not for comedy or any other reason than her being a helpless character, she's almost as bad as Orihime from Bleach.

It's really starting to get interesting. Can't wait until the next one.

Didn't find Index annoying. "Mugen" did go down rather easily, but maybe being tackled by 2 guys at once was too much to take lol. I can't blame Touma for reacting the way did when he was alone with Orsola. As for the rest of the nuns, can't say I love them. And no, there wasn't any Biribiri in this one...and it was perfectly fine people.

Yeah, I was gonna put it in a nicer way, but thanks for doing it better :D. The only reason Sparky ends up being so revered is because Index herself doesn't have much appeal as a heroine, but to hell with that I'm not watching the To Aru-verse specifially for the girls so I couldn't care less. This Sparky worship is getting absurd. Science side can sit back this season until Accelerator comes back in the fray imo. Then it'll be worth watching.

The To Aru Index take on the Roman Catholic Church is interesting, I like the variety of weapons and types of magic being presented. That nun who went batshit insane when a non-believer touched her really made me raise an eyebrow. No wonder she's assigned to the underside of the Church lol. From the preview I must say, Orsola's quite the looker beneath her coif and veil.
