| how many messed up women are there in this anime,. seriously... |
     |
| More speeches and punching women. Pretty good arc, but I'm glad it's over. Didn't like the fact nobody around Touma knew anything about what was going on. Wonder what Mikoto will make Touma do now that her school has won. Maybe another date? ;) That nun Lorenzetti is insane. Even while free falling out of a plane and being crushed by the cross, she's still laughing hysterically. Next arc they're going to Italy? That could be interesting! |
 |
| So did Oriana die from that combo punch or just get knocked out cold? |

Her magic communication talisman was still working, so I assumed that she wasn't dead! And after the bit at the end I really want to see Crowley in action! He's going to be super bad-ass, maybe on par with a saint (if he isn't actually one himself) |
 |
| touma's fights are boring and predictable =-= i was like omg he's gonna punch her now then get knockout...his fights didn't give me chills.. i thought it's just the roman catholic but it seems that both parties is hiding some conspiracy out there.. Laura Stuart such an intriguing character... |

| God damn this arc sucked. Thank god it's over. It was uninteresting, repetitive, boring, repetitive, the conclusion was downright ridiculous...oh and did I mention it was repetitive? Seriously this was nothing more than: -running around looking for the chick -finding and fighting the chick -the chick escapes -running around looking for the chick.... in a seemingly infinite loop. Wouldn't have been all that bad if the fighting was actually good, but it really wasn't. Well, things only can get better from now on. |

| This episode remembered me why I spent so much time in finishing the first season: Touma's speeches are pathetic and Index is an enormous moron that doesn't deserve being a main character. Just a comedic sidekick in two episodes. Or just one. Mikoto deserved so much being the star of her own show. Railgun season 2 now! |

| Wanna read the"To aru majutsu no index" Light novels in English? Go here. http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=To_Aru_Majutsu_no_Index  |
| well now i wonder how misaka will handle the punishment. |
     |
| Well the arc is over and it was a pretty good arc, Touma got quite a few punches in on Oriana and a few speeches in so he must be satisfied. But man how stupid can the roman church be. "We'll take advantage of the festival. What Fireworks at the end of the festival no way our plans are ruined". I find it hard to believe that they made all of these other elaborate preparations,but could not prepare for fireworks or had any clue that this might happen. They are really really stupid is all I can say. |
| Why did Oriana just destroy her book to cast one spell? Doesn’t she already know Toma can stop it with his right hand? It would have been more effective if she just kept using one spell at a time. But I did like how Toma punched her in the face, it felt like she deserved it. Another thing that seems a bit over done is the amount of fireworks being shot up all at once; it looked more like a finale then it just starting up. I mean geez, how much money would a city have to spend to use that many fireworks to the point where all the stars are blocked out in the sky. Also on another note, I like harem, it’s cool and all but it just pisses me off that all the girls’ take Toma for granted and walk all over him. Index always biting him all the time for almost no reason or really stupid reasons. Mikoto always shocking him/punching him and getting jealous but never being honest with herself about her feelings for him. That other random girl Seiri (recently introduced) who visits him in the hospital this episode, she smacked him when it was her fault for walking in on him when he was changing. Like seriously, wtf? What is wrong with all these girls? I don’t know if I should be jealous of Toma for his harem, or feel sorry for all the shit he has to put up with. |
| Never go full retard |
| seriously....I wish touma would be kidnapped so we'll get to see good fight. All he does is using its hand at everything, are his enemies retards or something ? the harem development was obvious and Kanzaki will soon show up I think ( Seiri is so Kanzaki like I guess she'll disappear soon ). I don"t like harem but whatever. I finish this serie but for the moment I'm quite disappointed with this arc which was just running, getting beat by either Orsola or the girls and the final fight is just useless or at least don"t let Touma fight or give him a decent power. his ability is not only Imagine breaker but Pain killer as well or what . ribs broken he keeps moving and fighting like nothing has happened.. |
| I'm glad this arc is over! quite possibly the worst episode of index I've seen! Why was Touma stopping Stiyl's attack and stopping Innocentius? He really shoulda gotten out of the way. That random double punch by Touma and Stiyl was funny though. But Idk why Touma is aliways like trying so hard to talk the enemy out of what they're doing. Seems like he's trying to beg the enemy to stop. The thing is Oriana's REAL motive has been exposed long ago (the motive is not just a front), and there are no signs of uncertainty of doubt. She is evil with a twisted mind as seen by her actions. what makes you think she's gonna change her mind Touma? There's no point in overly trying to reason. What bugs me was I thought Touma was gonna go after Lidvia since he talked as if he was gonna find and hunt her down, but he goes to the hospital -,-. Then we see Lidvia going berserk and tossed off the plane which was weird. I was expecting somewhat of a FIGHT????? o.O She was the mastermind of this whole business?? You'd think she use some magic?? But she was taken down so easily. while Oriana who I think should be weaker lasted 4 episodes. ugh. The end was also too lovey dovey in my opinion. Like it was the final episode or something...I'm not a fan of this arc, but seeing Index in cheerleader uniform and kissing Touma even if by accident was Verrrrry niceee :) Next arc seems very good, gonna get to see more of Index. =D |

GarLogan78 said: calaveth said: How I miss Railgun, where I didn't have to listen to Touma's speaches every episode. I hope Railgun gets a season two as well. It sure as hell deserves one. Thank god it is. Touma continues to exasperate me. I think the problem with this show is that it doesn't even acknowledge how ridiculous his logic is unlike in, say, the Fate/Stay visual novel where the flaws in Shirou's logic are a major focus of the plot. |

 |
| Wasn't really impressed with this arc and especially that ending. Having the villain be defeated by the fact that they failed to look at a schedule makes a lot of what happened over the last few episodes feel kind of... hollow. I mean, did Touma and friends really contribute that much besides punching a woman in the face? It certainly doesn't seem like it. |
| Great arc ending, quite fucked up with that free fall from that jet, but well the ending was sweet and boy how cute can Index be when she's trying to eat Touma's head :p Nice arc ending lets see what's next! |
 |
| Stiyl XD Double punch! Lidvia is creepy as hell... o.O |
| This anime really loves to punch women.. |

maxiliban said: The effects on location that has had the Croce di Pietro erected on, would make any event occurring on it's soil beneficial to the Roman Catholics. It's inhabitants will be none the wiser as they are under the belief that the occurrences are normal, as such everyone under it would be happy. However, according Tsuchimikado Motoharu's explanations, the power of the Croce di Pietro does indeed bring happiness, however, it is not because of an event that caused the happiness but the happiness is forced on people no matter what event it is, and in the end the Roman Catholic Church will reap the benefits from it./wikia copy pasteWhat the.... I don't... really?? Fireworks?? LOL..... =.=" The fight is boring. Unnecessary and confusing speech in the fight (maybe I got a bad fansub group...) I think I'm an idiot or just not paying attention, but what does the Cross do..? Brainwash people so that they accept religion rather than science..? What will that accomplish..? Maybe I'll know in the following episodes..... LOL random pilot guy get kicked out of the plane.... that's not possible unless the Anglican girl do something about it. Man these church folks are evil.... I'm rather interested in what Misaka has in mind for the penalty game... |
Forgetfulness said: God this show sucks so much. Again, Touma goes around with his retarded "Oh no, you hurt ____, I must defeat you even though I have no fucking idea who you are or what your purpose is!" I want one of the antagonists to pull out a gun and blow his head off. See how effective his "ooooh, I can beat everything by punching it" is -_- So I thought there were only two good things this arc. 1. Misaka (again) 2. Orianna's boobs uh what?she's trying to turn AC into something it's not and put it under the control of the Roman church.what more reason does he need? even before knowing what her true objective is he still had some idea about her purpose and knew how dangerous it is. he had every right to want to defeat her. anyway,I didn't like the conclusion to the arc,it was too simple and coincidental.But the arc overall wasn't bad (except the one episode with too much fan-service),I think Oriana gave them the hardest time so far. |
| everyone gets punch by touma specially the girls hahaha |
| I would have preferred for Kanzaki to finally show up. Cmon, Styl and Tsuchimikado are basically useless. They lose every fight, and while they tell Touma to do this and that because he is stupid, they fail to pick up/destroy Oriana's book, too, and prefer giving some speech. Touma at least has the power of plot. And that Academic Citys security forces and countless underground organizations didn't notice any of that. Especially the fighting inside, but with that much surveillance Academic City was shown to have, they can't tell me they don't know what's going on right outside. |

| A great, just a great episode, I can't get enough of this anime at this point, I want more! Also, once again I got reminded how much I love the OST of this series. |
  |
| Well that was quick and anti-climatic. But I'm glad they got the arc over with instead of dragging it for another episode. It was starting to get sorta boring :/ I literally lol'd when Stiyl faceplanted the ground. Wasn't expecting that at all. |
| Yay, it's over. 5/10 |
| Yup!!! That double fist crossing scene. CLASSIC TOUMA, then he proceeds to pose and an airplane flies overhead. Badass? Yes lol of Styil tripping over a rock xD GJ. Night Parade holy crap! That was hilarious. Those magicians failed to embrace the culture in Academic city and this happens. What a blunder. Too bad the Daiheisai wasn't shown that much awww. I wonder what Misaka made him do, or did she jst blast him IN the hospital? |
| ahhh, i wonder what misaka will make touma do and that punch right b4 the commercial XD |
 |
| Killing and Punching Nuns : the Animation. I think the autor must have been molested by some nuns in his youth x) Stiyl finally as became useful! ...To ending up getting shot by things in the torso :| Misaka and Index really can't bear each other. Touma must do something quick or it will turn into a bloodbath D: So next episode, they are going to Italia. But I wanted more Misaka! |

| Every arc of this show ends in the same way. No.. Every arc begins, progresses and ends in the same piece of shit way. ->touma somehow gets himself involved in an external conflict ->pointless talking and running around for 1~2 episodes ->touma initially gets his ass handed to him ->cue naive bs "ill shatter your illusion with my right hand" or something similar speech ->antagonist hesitates for no reason and gets a fistful from the most annoying character ever Has the author run out of ideas? ah nevermind he never had many in the first place since it has been like this since season 1. |

| Touma punched woman again. This show advertises that women to be punched. I will call it plot armor for Aisa. |
 |
| Damn it, what's with the open ending lol Hmm.. Misaka visiting Touma... come on Misaka, you should've used the punishment game reward better. No wonder the doujin of this punishment game existed. |
 |
| Felt really convenient how they didn't realise that the fireworks was on at the same time but overall solid ending to the arc. Really liked that double punch! |
 |
| So in the end fireworks saves the day huh? GG. That Lidvia is pretty insane lol. And are we really going to ignore the fate of that poor pilot? :( I said that before in the previous post and I'll said it again. The amount of encounters and phone calls happened b/w limited group of people was crazy lmao. Also, how are their cellphones even working after getting brutally beat up? XD And just how much of stamina and endurance those guys have standing on their feet after running all around the city and getting all those injuries? Touma should've been dead with the amount of blows he received during this arc. Yet this guy stands up and knocks the villain unconscious with his right punch in the end. I mean really? Oh well, typical shounen trope happened endless times. Might as well just enjoy cute moments of the girls :3 |
 |
| Oriana proved to be a tough guy, who was like a blacksmith. I'm happy with how the narrative arch was over, Touma managed to surprise me despite being an irritant chatter. The punishment inflicted on Lidvia Lorenzetti was phenomenal, what a satisfaction! Who knows what will happen to her and Oriana. |
 |
| I really have never seen a protagonist with a lamer fighting style than Toma. He literally wins every fight by putting his right arm forward and punching his opponent in the face. Why does he punch heavy enough to knock out a combat specialist like Oriana anyway, he was never shown to to have been taught any martial arts... |
| Decent arc overall,hope the next one is going to be better,tho. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| god damn i loved this anime so many hot girls get KO'd you can't get any better than that fuck, i love Touma for that |
   |
| So the arc like finished but wait what happened in the end though...I am a bit confused... the sister dying like that... hmmm |
 |
| Touma is pretty good at punching women |
| That staff looks dangerous. I think Aleister is serious this time. This arc is a bit better than the Orsola Aquinas Rescue Arc. Stiyl and Touma were able to defeat Oriana...A bit anticlimactic the resolution about the activation of the Croce di Pietro..... Lidvia's defeat by Laura wis hilarious lol. |

However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| This anime is so fucking bad. Like really bad. The writing is childish, the character are mostly stale, and Index is such an unlikable cunt. She needs to be written out, she contributes nothing to the story and only makes one wonder why Touma puts up with her crap. Touma asspulling his way out of every fight is so fucking stupid. Why did Ariana use up all her spells for one attack? Why attack him directly knowing his hands ability? How the fuck does he survive an explosion at his face? How does he win with just one punch after getting beaten continuously? When you can't write compotent characters or decent fights just have touma wins lol after one punch. Repeat ad infinitum. The anime is so fucking stupid I have no clue how it ever got as popular as it did. Even Naruto is better than this crap. Garbage seems to attract fanbases for some reason. Only reason I still watch this crap is for Misaka, the magic aspect and the chuch crap. Granted they need to end with the whole "tHe RoMaN OrThoDaxy aRe eVIl aND thEy DoNt kNow FriEnDShiP XD". Its retarded and needs to end. |
