Was in tears when Touma lost his memory... Then he had to go and lie to Index and get my hopes up only to destroy them again?! God that was an emotional episode! But not sure about the direction they're heading in... Vampires?

Aaaaaaawesome episode. I just can't get enough of this anime, and it holds so much more potential.

It's really sad that Touma lost his memories, I never saw it coming, after he tried to brush it off as a joke.

And the ending pumped me up so much more!

Wow... wow!! Wow! Well this was unexpected, started to think of methods on how they will get together again and all that. Then he suddenly says all that. I thought he is a bit S&M lover going too far with teasing/trolling. But then the doctor goes in.. and my mind is blown. Well this anime shall be in my list of recommendations from now on.
But it still sucks that he lost his memories.. I'm back at my thoughts though with Index there shouldn't be a problem for a while.. But the sparkle girl will find out something and if not then the teacher will do so certainly.
I'm not sure what to think but I have thought of a few routes on which this anime will continue.

That run towards Index is on par to DBZ waiting time.

So did Touma really lose all his memories after all and said the things he said to Index off of the information the two magicians told him?

Touma did it,he saved her but he lost his memories :/ At first he was making fun of Index saying that he doesn't remembers anything but it was true,he lost all his memories,he only said that because doctor said him that.. :(
So now the Mage need to be friend of Touma because they need his power....hmmm there are some big mysteries around all of this.

It was a good episode, but there was a lot of confusing stuff. I have no idea what the heck Stiyl and the other dude in the tube... That thing about Deep Blood... Confused the fuck out of me. I didn't understood is situation toward the Church. Shouldn't they diassociate after the incident?

Anyway, Touma got me. Two times actually xD
I really believed him when he was fooling with Index and I also believed him when he said that it was a joke. Damnit.

Yeah, it's still kind of slow, except for the few minutes of action in the beginning. Are we out of the very long prologue now?

Touma being a level 0 confuses me also, I'm guessing they will powerup him in the future.


Why wouldn't it make sense that he's a level 0? His power is an absolute, it cancels out all esper powers or magic, as far as I can tell. Theres no way to measure it and no way to increase it.

Nice end to the first arc. Somehow I'm not really impressed so far.

So he's lost ALL his memories? But he can still talk? Hmmm, I guess it's only his memories of past events that were effected. His basic language and other skills have been left unaffected. Am I right? Or is it just bad writing?

Lmao, EVEN TOUMA KNEW HIS PROLOGUE IS TOO DAMN LONG.

This series is pretty cringey, but what do you expect from an '08 anime, amirite? X) I heard it's really good, so I prolly just need to get past this oldie season, ahhah

Save all the sappy persuasion for.... never, lol *barf*
I'm tired of these speeches lulz

Notice how Kaori has always been more of a softie towards Touma compared to Style. She's very kind and sympathetic. Back when she first engaged in battle with him, to the part where he wasn't sure how to say goodbye to Index, and even helped him after he exposed the church about lying and was about to be hit by dragon breath feathers.

ALL THESE FEATHERS AND ONLY ONE OF THEM HIT TOUMA. SUGOIIIIIIII. XDDD

The anime logic is strong in this one.

OMGGGGGGG, I KNEW TOUMA WAS GONNA SAY HIS MEMORIES ARE IN HIS FUCKING HEART OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. SO DAMN CHEESY I COULD DIE LOLOLOLOLOLLLLLL XD

ayo, WE ADDING VAMPIRES INTO THE MIX???????

Jan 18, 2019 1:49 PM
It seems that the studio messed up with the small size of the apartment. Touma is running towards Index for 5 minutes lmao. But I think that this is due some sort of space distortion ability. Also, Index destroyed a satellite lol.

I like the plot twist with Touma losing his memory.

I'm a bit confused with the scene between Stiyl and Aleister but I think that we have more information about the name of the power that Touma has (Imagine Breaker). It seems that something called Deep Blood is dangerous. I'm curious about vampires.

Now, I'm going back to Railgun.

"But what a son of @ $ & #! Lol. A joke ?!" That was a joke in very bad taste, even I believed it.I felt very sad for a moment, I really thought that Touma had lost his memory and when I see Index about to cry, much more, I'll never forget this, what a stupid xd. "
Well, that's what I thought at first, but knowing that everything was true, in reality, is very sad. Grande Touma. Another character who has earned my respect.

Index saved?.. At least for now?.. I'm so glad.. Lots of troubles awaits, though, as well as what's with Touma?..
Index said that she loves Touma, right?.. Well, I ship them enormously anyway, so it's kinda cannon at least from her side.. ;P I hope Touma won't be stupid and will take Index as bride and stuff.. ;p Well, as if that would happen in anime series, lol.. Well, still, I hope they'll continue happy life together regardless.. ;p
Oh, so Touma after all don't remember anything, and just acted in front of Index, right?.. Well.. It's somewhat sad.. Because they already were a lot together.. But I'm hopeful that they'll be able to grow to like each other again..
So church and mages are planning something, hm?.. Some global fighting between science and magic is going on, and something like that?..
Well, plot is too confusing really.. Questions everywhere and keep raising.. Like, why Touma lost only factional knowledge, but not knowledge of skills, for example?.. He can talk and joke.. Did his brain wasn't fully, but partially fried?.. It's all too confusing and too much, really.. I guess, I'll try to abandon a bit mystery side of anime, because it's all too much really.. I hope that at least romance will continue to be touching and wholesome as it was so far.. ;P Index X Touma - forever.. ;p

I know the love confession has already been discussed a bit but I wanted to add another point.

Back in episode 4 Kaori was first explaining to Touma how Index keeps getting her memories erased. She said it was everything, including "memories of her family, friends, lovers...". Implying that she had "lovers" in the past and given her age (she's only like 14 years old!), it makes me think that she is quick to attach to someone else and think she loves them. What Kaori said also makes her words seem less genuine.

Basically, I also think that this confession was rushed and that Index may be the type of person who throws those words around a bit too casually. She definitely needs to spend more than 5 days with someone (3.5 of which one of them is unconscious) before knowing if its true love.

Coming from watching Railgun first, it's interesting to learn how the Satellite was actually destroyed now. Although it could be considered slightly underwhelming since it was pure accident instead of some big Academy City conspiricy xD

That hospital meeting though. Heartbreaking to learn that Touma had lost his memories (reverse karma since he's experiencing how Index would have felt), but then he said he was joking "you llittle sh**!" and got bitten by Index which I thought he deserved for that stunt. But then the doctor comes in and he was actually bluffing...his Imagine Breaker didn't actually negate the Dragon Breath feather and he really is living not knowing a thing about himself.

That idea of Vampires though. It's already been shown in this 'prologue arc' that Sorcerers and Espers need to keep to their own to avoid some all out power war, but this 3rd party mixes things up. Will using a Level 0 Esper let the big players turn a blind eye to co-operative work?

Shoulda smacked her head and got out of there. They did say those feather things were baaaad.

Also the memory loss thing is kinda whack but I'm glad the real reason wasn't cause of weird arm power. That would be way too OP
