| J.C. is pretty good with no-fillering Index II, that's great. With Amakusa's was Itsuwa, not Saten (they are quite similar, but Itsuwa is a magician, not esper, and she's kawaii :3 ) I like that Biribiri isn't is this arc, I'm tired from this tsundere ) |
 |
| Wow a lot of fan service here XD Next episode looks promising! |
| Is it just me, or was this episode a bit 'meh'? Also, I don't like hearing Kugimiya in every freakin' JC show. |

Just check out this image here: http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/1223/satencameo.jpg That's the Saten Cameo, the screenshot was taken near the start of episode. She was walking there between 0:11 - 0:15, nearly 4 seconds of screentime cameo Here's an image where the Accelerator Cameo is pointed out. http://img4.sankakustatic.com/wp-content/gallery/misc-ero-viii/a-certain-ecchi-index-2-2-037.jpg Like I mentioned though, the cameos are extremely hard to see. I found all this info on Animesuki forums, as well as on 2ch. Fans still amaze me at how they notice such miniscule details x.x; |

| Not as horrible as the first episode this season, but still only decent. I wish the writing/characters were as good as the animation. Is the writing in the novels this bad or did the anime just adapt it so-so and cover with moeblob? |
| Touma's loli harem has increased by one, with the arrival of Agnese :) |
| Dissapointed over the amount of fanservice, but it was to be expected after Railgun's popularity, I guess... As if there weren't enough fanservice in the plenty dedicated ecchi/harem animes, and they had to shove it in the new season of one of the few outstanding shounens as well. |

But i feel it's gonna be other way around during the final fight of this arc. |

Murbella said: You'd have to get more specific than horrible writing for anyone to have a proper idea of whether your complaints carry over to the novel. Do you dislike the use of exposition? Is the arc based plot system building up to a larger overarcing plot not to your taste? Do you feel that the characters backgrounds are explored not enough/too much outside of the main plots? Does the plot move too slow or maybe feel rushed? Are there plot points that you don't feel are properly explained or that conflict with themselves causing plotholes? We really have no idea where to begin addressing this unless we know what your actual problem is.Not as horrible as the first episode this season, but still only decent.

u8sand said: That girl has got to stop turning... I found this to be quite entertaining actually. That going round thing is part of her charm. Red hair loli nun seems to be asking for it? What nun wears such a mini skirt? Well with her and the naked Index scene this became a loli fanservice festival. Anyway so the ex-friends of Kaori are the bad guys now? Does that mean that she will play a big role in this arc? That will make a happy guy. |

| It's so god damn blurry though |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |

| boo about a rie loli and index biting. stihl is cool but way too much loli. |

denero1 said: It can indeed, but that doesn't mean it hurts. At no point have they saturated the show with it to the point that it detracts from plot and character interaction. All we had today was 2 or 3 scenes with a remarkably mild level of fanservice.yeah a little to much loli and fan service i like this show for the story and character interaction it can stand on its own without loli and fan service It's the same principle with any media and attractive women. If the show seems to centre around an attractive female and there's no plot and the female is a poorly designed character then that's bad. If the show has a proper plot, there us a female who is well designed and 3 dimensional, and she happens to attractive, then the hot woman doesn't hurt the show at all and could be argued to enhance it. It's the difference between transformers and burn notice. Megan fox is excessive and seems to be designed to distract from the lack of anything interesting aside from explosions. Burn notice there technically isn't any reason fiona needs to be hot, but it doesn't hurt anything. We like fiona. Similarly there's no reason for there to be so many lolis in this show, but they don't hurt anything. Lots of people have even chosen a favorite from among the losis that they find themselves endeared to. Also |
Nekoman said: I laughed at that!It's MUGEN!!! What is the big deal with fanservice. It is sort of a cliche theme in 90% of the animes. If people can bear it in Hotd, this is absolutely nothing. Index is just so damn cute! I want to hug her! The pacing of the show is absolutely wow. Stiyl had to stop halfway through his fire magic thing -hmph- When will they properly show Accelerator and Last order? Dying to see them.. |

| This episode reminded me of Index-Tan vs Shana-Tan. |

Stiyl had to stop halfway through his fire magic thing -hmph- When will they properly show Accelerator and Last order? Dying to see them.. In about 4 or 5 episodes, depending on how many episodes the upcoming arc is, which is science focused. The current arc should be over by episode 5. Anyway, I'm glad the anime cut down on the amount of magic explanations compared to the novels while still getting the main parts. Sometimes it gets really dull and I end up skimming or skipping a good deal of it. |
 |
| it was kind of boring, but oh well. lets hope for a good ep3 |
 |
| Decent episode, I'm looking forward this arc's conclusion~ |
 |
| I'm getting so sick of Japan's accidental sexuality humor. We've got it, being accidently doing something sexually intrusive is traumatizing. How many more times must you do this, anime industry? Panty & Stocking has the right idea, being apologetically sexual. I'm tired of cringing over these situations. Sexuality, fine. Making is result from clumsiness and accidents all the time, it's one of those things that works once in a million years, and then becomes and old card for a million more after that. And god, what is with the only thing some people are sharing in their posts is spoilers for this arc? Just comment on what's going on now. Not that this isn't an entirely predictable situation, but that's just not a quality post at all. We got it, you're cool and you read the manga first. Have more content than a spoiler in your posts or don't. In case you haven't read: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. Loli~ |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
Sprite_Coke said: This episode reminded me of Index-Tan vs Shana-Tan. Almost. I really was not expecting them to add Rie. |
| There is Rie again... heh, love her voice. |
| Off topic but this amv of To aru majutsu no index is the best I've seen so far... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjkNyEH6cZE |
| Wraouw.. Fanservice are delicious :P But we got more than ever that happened. Cool episode enjoyed it for a while.. |
     |
| Hehe, more than enough fanservice to come by in this one. Agnese Sanctis has only been introduced this episode (I recognized Kugimiya Rie's voice immediately) and she's already part of it together with Index. =P But whatever happened tot that Ouma Yamisaka guy from the last episode? Are they even going to finish that? =S Interested in this arc though. Let's see how this will turn out between the churches and between Stiyl and Kanzaki. |

Nekoman said: It's MUGEN!!! now he's going to show off his breakdancing+swordsmanship+magic skills.. gahahah! is very similar but not |
 |
| Ah! Where is this going? While interactions between the various denomonations of the church are good, I want to see about the secrets of Academy City! For instance, in the last episode of series 1, they revealed that the head of Academy City is none other than Alister Crowley! Then it never gets mentioned again. Bum. |
 |
| wow this season II is giving us interesting arc.. |
HawthorneKitty said: So this is where Mugen wandered off to. That's what I thought. Also I was wondering when Kugiyama would turn up in Raildex. :x |
fuck everything and rumble |
| Loli... |
| and another shana appears. i wonder if Rie gets tired of this, or she's like "ah, watever, lots of money!" u8sand said: That girl has got to stop turning... I hope this anime continues to be as good as the last season. she needed to stop turning when index got captured. but no, shocked face while spinning around. |
     |
| Why in the world would a nun be dressed like that? |
| lol, since when did religion become a turf war for power between a bunch of thugs? That's not even religion anymore. oh, anime, the way you twist things so awkwardly. Why does Inedx bite Toma so much more than before? (and for no reason) At least she had some reason to do it before. God, she is definitely going to go down as one of the more annoying characters in anime history. Who is that weird girl (Archbishop Laura) who was giving orders to Stiyl? See acts like some kind of f***ing queen, what with her fancy tea and position as some sort of higher part of the church. She pisses me off, who does she think she is? She just looks like a spoiled brat. It makes me mad knowing that she giving out orders like she’s special or something, especially since it looks like she has no power. Why would people listen and do what she says when she has no power to enforce anything? |

| Never go full retard |
| Touma is sooooo lucky with pretty girls. seeing Index fully naked, I'm drooling already :D Mannnn gimme Index <333333333. Oh and also interesting to see a religious struggle, the Roman Catholics vs. the Amakusa, and YES i do recall Kanzaki being a part of the Amakusa before though this ep reminded us. Even back during the Crusades, there was religious wars! I liking this! 5/5 again! :D |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| Some interesting new characters and start of the story and a bit of fan service as well! Nice episode with an interesting ending! Lets see what's next! |
 |
| I thought Kanzaki was involved in it... o.o |
| poor touma |
| One of the more boring episodes despite it had it's funny moments. |
