You're kidding me, right? The 2nd OP is right in front of your eyes! 3 words - Tears of Joy, ooh, Kawada Mami-sama! xD Anyway, well, well, what do you know, they end up helping each other. So, does this means that there's no loli-puching this time? but there's so many lolis that are present! Come on, Touma! Don't let us down xD Hhhhnnnnngggggghhhh, Itsuwa and Angelene! Can't get enough of them x3 and lol, Biagio the bishop, he looks like the crazed male version of Lidvia Lorenzetti xP EDIT: Oh yeah, and the new 2nd OP were revealed weeks ago and it will air at Ep. 17, if you guys haven't heard it yet, go back to Ep. 14 thread and you'll see tsubasalover's edited comment, the yt vid one :3 |

 -- I'm looking for "The One" and I'll find her more quickly if I audition two at a time. Think you can do better? -- -- The World God Only Knows -- Toaru Majutsu no Index -- Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai -- |
| Itsuwa~ + Oshibori strategy~ = Kawaiiii :3 |
 |
| Nice fleet (really those kamikaze ships are awesome as well as the boat/sub) Lots of fanservice, Anieze's clothes must be made of magic because Touma negated them off exposing her delicious body. The battle is going to be good as well. Great episode and I'm searching for the OP as we speak. |
 |
| looks like i'm wrong this time.... No Loli Punch in this arc. Finally we shed some light on Agnese's/(Anieze?) past (along with Lucia's and Angeline's) and I must say it must seem sad indeed... Orsola is being a lil fiesty this time! (I like I like!) and some Itsuwa was a nice extra! =3 I can't wait for next weeks ep. PS: WHERE'S THE NEW OP! D: It's already out in youtube. (well the radio version anyways..... ) |
| I heard that the delay of the new OP theme was due to the budget and time constraint problem that J.C. Staff is experiencing right now. They'll insert the 2nd OP and ED theme in the Episode 13 in the DVD/BD version though. And yeah, the visual quality of this show still remains cheap and not so pleasant to look at. (especially compared to the other JC Staff shows like Yumekui Merry) |

(especially compared to the other JC Staff shows like Yumekui Merry) Wat! this is their best animation. Of course sometimes the robots and ships are noticeable CG sometimes but it'll cost more for that. Comparing this to Merry in animation is wrong. Merry feels like im back in 2006. As for the OP its the same as the 1st season |

| Even though there's 24 mins it feels like they never get anywhere. But I like that about this show. I want the new OP next week. |

| So is it just me or are they making no effort whatsoever to explain why Touma and crew were attacked in the first place? Points for having the villain voiced by Norio Wakamoto. |
Bio said: This is Index, shit doesn't have to make sense and you're not supposed to care as there are too many plotholes anyways.So is it just me or are they making no effort whatsoever to explain why Touma and crew were attacked in the first place? Just be happy that Mugen might get more screen time. |

| omg index voice, oh how i missed it. |
    |
| ATTENTION! That is all. |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Sister Angelene just copied Saten's Skirt flip. O_0 |
 |
| Wtf Index sounded cute with her betsu ni this episode. Also that towel girl is cute imo <3. And so are those sisters from before. |

| That was really... Disjointed. Quite rushed, and they removed key plot points like why the heck Touma and friends were attacked in the first place, and why the ships aren't being dispelled by Touma's hand. They rewrote Index's biting scene so that it was far less reasonable than ever before, to the point that I cringed a little bit. I'd have to reread the scene where they're planning for battle, but I'm quite sure they added liberal doses of cheese. Half the scenes didn't really seem to connect to eachother properly. Still, I liked Itsuwa. Kept laughing at her with the towel. I think I'll like her. |
| lolol Hand o' Strippin' |
| That Bishop suddenly became scary as soon as he spoke.. WAKAMOTO!! |
| For some reason this episode didn't excite me that much. |
| Plotholes, useless fanservice, flat comedy. The script writers seriously need to rework what they want to use from the source material. |
 |
| As far as development goes, compared to the first season, I really don't feel like we've gone anywhere. I look forward to each and every new episode each week, but it simply won't go anywhere. I'm not sure whether i'll end up liking this season as much as the first, but I hope we can expect to see more of the ''science'' side of the story. Considering the ''magic'' arcs to be filled with random, tensity killer moments. Well, like they've done 70% of this season, all I can do is pray (-.-) Looking forward to the next! |
| what a crappy ep... hope this arc doesn't last any longer. |
 |
| Boring!! Edit: Deleted your signature from the comment, and took the courtesy to add it where it really belongs. |

| This episode is R-rated, I mean RRRrrruuu-rated! All hail Bishop Wakamoto! |
| . |
| So Touma puts rescuing the lady before saving Venice. Talk about a sense of priorities. xD |
| lol was the bishop voiced by the hayate no gotoku narrator i dont remember his name |
 |
| There were 2 good things about this episode: 1. Fan service wise, Agnese's one in the spoiler 2. Ship fights on the sea and Pirates of the Caribbean kind of feel. Other than that back-stories were cool. Of which Agnese's was the freaky, I mean her entering home only to see bodies and blood? Sound like a major trauma to me and also someone slaughtered them all. Despite that loved seeing young Agnese, young Lucia and young Angelene. Like everyone else said the Bishop just looks as freaky as Lidvia was. Liked the episode, anything with ships and a pirate feel is all good with me. |

| I bet Touma only wants to save Agnese and doesn't even care about himself or even Venice. Not a surprise, after all if we are talking about Touma's attitude - "Save the gurls to get bitten by Index after." Oh Touma~ xDD So why did they sink ship #37? Do they have detecting powers or something? Is it just me or the Amakusa members got multiplied all of a sudden? There were about less than 10 members at first and then it became more than 10.. o_O Don't tell me they are just hiding xDD PS: I like how more sisters have attached pins on their clothes besides Index xDD |
| funny ep... Agnese - oh yeah!! 5/5 Agnese, fanservice moment - OH YEEEAAHHH!!! 6/5 Orsola - yey! 5/5 Itsuwa - another oh yeah!! 5/5 Sister Angelene doing a "Saten-san" - U-i-ha-ru!! oh wait, Sis-ter Lu-ci-a!! 5/5 Index - ok. 4/5 Biagio - dunno, but he looks "political" to me. 4/5 overall, it was a funny ep, just what i expected from the presence of a loli harem (Agnese, Itsuwa, Orsola) personally, i don't see this arc as boring... oh well, it's gonna be a short arc... next ep may be last for this one... ep 17 is start of new arc, with new OP.. and, btw, Biagio's rosaries are awesome! he uses it for communication.. cool!! :D |
 |
| Fanservice, ahoy! Noria Wakamoto ahoy!! Angelene's summoning coins are Euros, lol :D |
| Dem clubcards are big.. http://ilyasviel.mybrute.com |
DenjaX said: iirc there are roughly fifty or so members of the amakusa. At the very least it's somewhere in the double digits, less than 100. The other members were present in the volume seven arc, and their actions were talked about a lot. That being said they did spend most of their time offscreen. I bet Touma only wants to save Agnese and doesn't even care about himself or even Venice. Not a surprise, after all if we are talking about Touma's attitude - "Save the gurls to get bitten by Index after." Oh Touma~ xDD So why did they sink ship #37?

Looking back at volume seven Touma totally should have been killed by tatemiya. He underestimated the unarmed unpowered man, but seriously. The guy's got magically enhanced strength and speed, every movement he makes in battle is part of the casting of some spell, and his sword is a sword. At the very least I guess next time, now that he knows what Touma's fist does, it won't go so smoothly. agent535 said: f and, btw, Biagio's rosaries are awesome! he uses it for communication.. cool!! :D Crosses. You need the beads for it to be a rosary. I know that because I watched Mariaholic :D |
| Itsuwa is great. The lack of progress is part of her charm LOL. Otherwise, yeah, not great material, but still a fun episode. |

| Lol eating in the middle of the open sea. Itsuwa seems like an enjoyable character but the towel thing is getting old. Does she really need to bring out that many towels? Her and Wakamoto saved this episode. It was a bit boring. Hope next one is the last episode for the arc. |
 |
| Kawai Angelene so kawai=) |
argilium said: That Bishop suddenly became scary as soon as he spoke.. WAKAMOTO!! I didn't know he had such a fan base. He is the only person on my favorites list because his voice is truly awesome. The others just do good in roles. Yeah the fact that we don't know why they got attacked screwed this episode up. |
belatkuro said: Yeah and the bishop getting punched with Agnese being saved, probably will be my #2 approved Touma punch. Which reminds me of a GIF I found around the netHope next one is the last episode for the arc. |
| So, how many women are in Touma's harem, despite this not being a harem, or even explicitly romance, anime? lol I think the presence of magical clothing on women is just more proof Touma is not, in fact, unfortunate. Also, falling on top of girls isn't exactly injury-causing. Even his punishment involves mouth-contact with index. |
| I loved Touma's quote about how he can't figure out how Index can't protect herself from magicians when her bite's more powerful than all the grimores in her head. |
| I reject your reality, and substitute my own. |
XyCo said: Oh yea Luccia (Lucia? Idk spelling) seems less batshit insane this time. Letting even non believers touch her. Pretty big and unexplained change of character all of a sudden. She's a heretic now. Probably isn't qualified to criticize heathens. |

Which reminds me of a GIF I found around the netHope next one is the last episode for the arc. I don't like it when Touma hits a girl but i enjoy it when he gets hits by a girl, it feels like justice. Seems like Itsuwa is being used to convert Touma towards the Amakusa church or at least make him fall for her, it's unclear however if she does this from her own idea or from the point of others within the Amakusa church. It's still remains up to Touma if he is able to see that she is hitting on him as he is very thick headed. As for that Bishop it's clear that he is acting only out of his own interest. Someone who sacrifices his own men only cares for his self and doesn't care about the people around it. Actions of people like that have nothing to do with religion anymore they only use religion as a excuse to justify there own selfishness and ideas. Whether there a Catholic Bishop or a Muslim terrorist doesn't mater. |

Actions of people like that have nothing to do with religion anymore they only use religion as a excuse to justify there own selfishness and ideas. Whether there a Catholic Bishop or a Muslim terrorist doesn't mater. My theory is that she fell for him after he defeated her in volume seven but didn't finish her off (I think that was her...) Either way I's pretty sure she's doing this on her own. Her amakusa friends just get gossipy after all her attempts. It took me a while to clue in that Touma couldn't hear them when they were doing that lol. The bishop hasn't sacrificed any of his own men. He's sacrificed prisoners, but that's well within his orders. Self interest isn't really the right term when he has nothing to gain out of any of this. The only hypothetical scenario I can think of where he could even have a personal desire to see venice destroyed is if their people had pissed him off somehow, but even then there wouldn't be any profit. It's not even as if he's twisted any dogma to make this acceptable, as Venice is a primarily catholic location and not a garden of sinners or anything (God I hope they remember to include why this is a good idea for the catholics). A catholic man following orders from the pope without any personal reward is everything about religion. I mean, he's crazy and ruthless, but let's not pretend he's something he's not. Sacrificing a couple unneeded prisoners in order to fulfill direct papal orders is the act of a mind of unquestioning faith, rather than what you described. |
