The fight itself was rather interesting, with Touma and Stiyl making a surprisingly good combo in battle. Shame that the end to the entire conflict felt a little too coincidental for my tastes

Besides that, though, a pretty good episode that brings the Peter's cross arc to a nice close, along with bringing up some interesting questions. What are Crowley's motives, and what exactly is the english archbishop up to? They should prove to be rather interesting to see in action in the future.

And of course, the obligatory Misaka getting angry at Touma (again lol), and with her now the winner of the penalty game, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how that works out :P

More batshit insane women getting what they deserved.

Oriana got what she deserved twice once by an idiot combo punch nonethless.

The Priest got what she deserved too but what a way to go.

Index, will you please stop biting, it's annoying, punch Touma's lights out again if you are frustrated.

This episode was awesome Oriana punching! Not only with a Magnus/Touma combo with Magnus being able to land a punch right under her breasts whereas Touma right on her face! Touma after punching harder GIFs needed big time for both of those parts. The episode managed to do a excellent beginning excitement, middle comedy relief and end suspense/relief for a character though to maybe never survive.

In regards to the battles, Touma got his ass kicked in the beginning but I though that he was the most stupid not to cooperate with Magnus when he summoned Innocentus.Is that a crack I heard? Does it not mean that Touma has cracked ribs yet he acted as nothing afterwards. Magnus, holy shit he is bleeding so bad! Apart from the Izzard arc, I did not see him like so bad shit in shape. I did like that while Touma was talking with Lorenzetti there was some nice fan service of her breasts. Comedy wise once in the hospital Index/Misaka confrontation was good and funny. Particularly Misaka's facial expressions.

The segment had a very just fit end for Lorenzetti that should apply to all traitors of catholic belief. It may be harsh but a good example of being conform to your religion. There is also how I freaked out at seeing Lorenzetti's face change in the spoiler
I got with her facial expression. Shit! Girl is more nuts than Agnese herself. Finally end part of this episode was excellent with a huge excitement that all is well with Himegami. Really glad she turns out ok. :D

This.

Also, Touma is becoming the next Naruto. I mean he's suppose to have cracked ribs, who the hell can stand after being in an explosion afterwards? I wish Misaka would just butt in and save that little tard.

New OP and ED will appear in the beginning of the next arc. That is, next episode's.

I was all satisfied until I see the preview of EP 14. Then I said to myslf, this isn't enough the wait and I have to wait 1 more week after waiting for 2 weeks D: Ahahaha.

I cannot comment on anything about EP 13 since they are all good (although a bit messed up in order, honestly).

worst episode ever. the whole arc was filled with talking and running around. what a waste of cool powers. it would have been a good arc if misaka fought oriana. but no. touma preaches, gets his ass kicked, gets up, preaches, TAKES AN EXPLOSION IN THE FACE, and finishes? the only good part was styl, who was clearly also down for the count.

Oriana was a smart bad guy at first, finally a respectable, psycho bitch one. but she resorts to close combat when she has a whole deck of cards? then uses them all in one useless attack? come on, give these guys some brains.

really. this show has so many cool powers and abilities but the story line is shit so far. touma and character development have been lacking the last 13 episodes.

Index II has become yet another LOW BUDGET sh*t that solely relies on the popularity of the original work it is based on. The fighting scenes are lacking intensity, so that it doesn't fit well with the background music. The show is literally becoming a eyesore to me.

Sigh.. at least, Railgun wasn't as bad as this one. I seriously hope J.C. Staff would stop mass-producing the shows.. -_-

mediocre.

ep starting with a fight scene - win 5/5
Oriana fighting - badass. 4/5
Stiyl tripping - fucking idiot. 3/5
Touma's new speech - 3/5
Biribiri - another win. 5/5
Himegami Aisa - 4/5
Fukiyose's voice - yey! 4/5

overall, it's a bit mediocre. well, i read this part of the LN beforehand, so i thought it was not quite a good adaptation. especially Laura beating the hell out of Lidvia. oh well. either way, Laura is still the best damn cruel bitch in this anime.

btw, that man that was thrown out of the plane was actually the pilot. just in case people don't know. anime didn't mention the pilot.

just so, i'm posting the Laura/Lidvia part from the LN:



next ep is start of another arc. Orsola, Itsuwa, Anieze are all present. awesome loli harem incoming. :)

Yeah I'm kinda getting tired of Touma's character. He's got an okay ability, it's just that he prefers to break off into a stupid speech at each fight, rather than use his ability.

OH GOD, where do I begin with this nonsense...

A new year, but still the same old index.

I was hoping for something better, but we got a BS ending to a BS arc.

The only good part in all of this was Oriana getting what she deserves by Touma's LEGENDARY, Punch every girl in sight technique.

However, we still had Touma's Legendary BS speech, oh well.

3/5 for the episode, I'm just glad it's OVER, please let's move on to something else.

WOW, the LN version makes sooooo much more sense now. I hate how JC Staff is handling the adaptations this time. Hopefully they'll improve before the end of the season. Now I really wanna read the LN, but I want to have the actual physical copy in my hands rather than reading it online. Wish, someone would license it here.....

The moral of the story is that religion is all a bunch of bullshit...

Honestly, this anime just makes the viewer hate religion, in a way it's not hard to see why everyone prefers the SCIENCE side of index rather than the religion (magic) side.

I don't read the LN so I couldn't tell you, however, Touma is basically a SHOUNEN main character.

He NEVER loses and somehow finds a way to win even though it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Let's face it that's what he is...

I wouldn't go so far as to say this is "low budget"...

I believe J.C. Staff does a somewhat decent job with MOST of the anime they produce, also, I wouldn't solely blame the idiotic storylines and nonsense scenes that this anime has on J.C. Staff.

Most of the blame should go on how the ANIME INDUSTRY is nowadays, that means that they HAVE TO give us "tsundere Mikoto", Tits, and a lot of other scenes that don't belong in this anime.

I'm not sure whether I want to comment on this episode or not. I honestly feel like I waisted 2 weeks of watching time on a story that hasn't been progressing, nor developing in any way. This arc was the worst thing I've seen so far out of the ''To Aru Majutsu no Index'' series'. I really hope they can pull off a better job in the next arc. Looking forward to the next!

Actually I though it was because that double punch on her, discouraged and she just decided to give it all she got to get rid of Touma since clearly Magnus was done for and Tsuchimikado was no threat.

The only interesting part of the episode was Lidvia.

The rest of it? Touma punches a bitch, Index bites a head, Misaka gets annoyed, Stiyl thinks something isn't possible and Aisa wondes if her existence is meaningful. Seriously, that's it. Same recycled plotline since the end of season 1.

Did anyone stop and think how immediately brilliant this anime would've become if the entirety of Academy City became Roman Catholic devotees?

Touma remaining the only one unaffected, would have to use his magical hand to free certain people from this spell, and effectively raise enough resistance to hold a massive Science vs. Magic battle for control of the city.
(Naturally with assistance from the Anglicans.)

Oh dear, how I really, really wanted the Roman Catholics to succeed.

I'm starting to hate how absolutely nothing cool happens with this anime, despite the excellent basic concept. I hoped something good would happen in season 2, but it certainly doesn't look that way.

I knew about that response from you. Yep, next episode is Index centered looks like it. I hope you might like it at least if Index is serious but I think the MOE shit of her is going to rage you more. Ever since that episode where she was serious in first season, it's exactly the same feelings as you about Index...unless she uses her powers and does action, it will probably be nothing more than comedy relief.

I really wished Misaka had come to save Touma. Misaka has been way to much of an unimportant character lately. Also, I think Touma needs to get some other kind of power, then maybe we wouldn't have to see him end the fight with a punch every single time.
