| It was hilarious! I was laughing a lot during the first part of this episode. naikou said: I'm gonna be honest, I thought this was a dream sequence for sure. Kudos to the writers for making it an actual event. I was also totally convinced that he had a nightmare and would wake up every minute. Unfortunately he didnt. The weird explanation of the situation during the second part of the episode was just confusing and boring imo. ;) |
 |
| This episode was very strange, but funny. "Yes We Can!" lol |
id said: Because of that alone, this episode is 5 out of 5.Yes We Can! |
 |
| Great episode. Really funny :3 Just a question but has anyone figured out who became Index? o_o Im guessing its his other friend with the blue hair but I'm not positive. I'm saying that Touma's dad is involved in this and what happen to Himegami? >:( |
| This is a tad off subject, but Im just wondering where everyone got their sub. I got the [AoShen] sub and it's what Im used to but no matter where I play it from, the video is rather laggy but the sound runs perfectly. That said, after watching this episode, I thought it was rather funny. Not what I wanted in terms of development, but still enjoyable. |
   |
| Haha wtf @ this episode....i Touma's going to be in a sliiiightly... uncomfortable situation when everything's back to normal, lmao. Btw, did eclipse drop this series? |

Looks like they were just a little behind schedule. yes and no, the episode came out earlier than expected (something about the jcstaff holidays were shorter than regular or something), but eclipse did not want to release them both near the same time, but keep it 1 week apart. gives it a same feel to like waiting for the next episode on tv of a show that airs once a week. iernno, check the 1st page of this thread. |
| looked like a filler till the end... wonder who that jutsu master is... |
 |
| Why the hell are you guys watching AoShen suddenly? Just because they released a few days earlier? Anyway, very confusing episode, most of all the identity of that guy in the green shirt with the long name... As for the rest of the episode, Index looked nice. |

As for the rest of the episode, Index looked nice. which one? the real one or the new one =p and i didnt watch aoshen, i watched the raw, which made the episode even more confusing. horray. (yea im bored) edit: speaking of which, i need to watch the eclipse version, cause aoshen made a few/bunch/w.e translation error. mostly to see if they translated the sunglass blond guy's name right, and to see if the anime could add 30, 9, 40, and 7 not as 72 or w.e it was. |

| Confusing again, I hate trying to think hard with this anime since there are a butt load of questions but o well. It was a tad entertaining though. |
 |
| 1) Obama scandal "Yes we can" was funny. Are the Japanese predicting the future? 2) Toma's Dad looks out of place. 3) Seems too fake to me. Toma's hand nullifies magic so that would mean people he touches would go back to the way they're supposed to look. If this is indeed body switching and not apparency changing then people would have noticed that their friend is suddenly an old man...not to mention it seems like a real waste to do for a fallen angle. |

| Too confusing. Intro of a lot of new characters, setting, plot details that aren't clear at all. Must say I'm with the people who thought this series started great but went downhill after the first few episodes... Obama referrence was hilarious, though. |
| mo-mo-moe!!! Oh yeah they threw in the plot during the second half, but meh I don't care. More service please! And the fansub bashers...haha man I can't get enough of people's stupidity. You guys crack me up! |
| funny episode... thought he was dreaming at first... but i was wrong... wonder where this arc is going to lead up to |
 |
| Wow, that was a pretty entertaining episode. I didn't expect Tsuchimikado to be part of Neccassarius. The bondage loli was pretty lulz too. |
 |
| I thought this was another typical dream filler, so how it actually played into the arc was surprising. And Tsuchimikado being sort of, in on it all was a nice surprise too. It's odd how Himegami was so noticeably absent, but I'm glad Kanzaki's back. |
 |
| Could the dad have something to do with it, he hasn't changed form either |

| It was lulz all the way. I kinda like the Russian magician. I will now go to improve my knowledge on the Tree Of Sephiroth. |
| Yeah, my first thought was the dad too, he was a stranger (and everything started from that point). It was a fun episode, I thought it's magic when Index appeared as Mom, but I thought the magic was an illusion on Touma so only he sees everybody as someone else. But why Magnus has bee affected too? He is weak on mental powers? :) This is a weird magic or sideffects of magic... |
 |
| Best ep till now xD It completely erased my urges to drop this show |
 |
| Ahaha, this episode was hilarious. When manly Index came running at Touma at the beach, it was just too funny. "TOOOOooouuuumaAAAA" |
  Rofl, first half was hilarious. Loved all the crazy ass references. And Touya + Shima = Touma xD. Index was very funny as well, interesting episode ^^. Yes we can!! |

| Man, what was that? The first two-thirds were soooo weird. Misak...err... I mean Otohime was great.  <3 |
| Shana-tan moe~ WTF episode. I was actually surprised that it wasn't just a filler fanservice episode and Touma would wake up anytime from the dream. Had to check out the forums to remember (or rather, learn) who Tsumikado was. It's definitely the dad. |
| I felt like posting this: Scene recycling FTW! |
De-JaY said: I felt like posting this: Scene recycling FTW! LMAO i thought i was the only one who saw through that! good job! in any case, pretty "sneaky" way to add a fanservice ep. at least it still follows the story(i think) instead of just randomly adding it in the middle of a series. one question though: WHERE'S AISA? D: |

D: Oh please, does this series have storyline? I don't think so. It's a bunch of short arcs. Kinda like One Piece, only not that epic and much shorter :P |
| My stomach literally hurts from laughing so much. Awesome ep xD |

naikou said: Russian magician ftw. I'm gonna be honest, I thought this was a dream sequence for sure. Kudos to the writers for making it an actual event. totally agree, especially when the mom looked just like index, i was like NO WAY. that russian mage looks like she means business, and as ridiculous as the outfit she had was, it was pretty cool and seemed to suit her personality, or lack there of. |

| This episode was totally messed up!! Loved it~ id said: Yes We Can! Shana-tan MOE~ ROFL! Seriously, those just were some of the parodies and references (I can't tell if this is new content or if it was on the novel- well I can tell of alot of stuff that weren't defenetly on the novel) that made me laugh alot!!! (The ecchi-lolicon costume, and that pen were... OMG xD!!) Say, did anyone else noticed that leek that Index was holding in that ID pic? ^^ ...Anyway, I take it his dad's involved in the reason why the wrold got messed up? Ha ha ha ........ :D |
| What an incredible episode ! I thought it was just a (weird) prank in the beginning, but obviously, it was more serious than that. And wow... Index and that micro-bikini... 0_o |
| ROFL, Shirai Kuroko as Barack Obama, and that old man going Shana-tan is moe. LOL And the NGE reference with the chart, that was awesome. |

| This is covering book #4 of 17 light novels. Clearly the interesting stuffs has yet to come (reading the summaries of the latter light novels looks very promising) And yes, this series is composed of many many story arcs (often one per book) that reveals more about the Academy City and other major magical and ESP organizations around the world. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| The funny part for a second I thought someone who looked like Index was actually his mom(although that black bikini on her was godly) and Mikoto being the cousin was kinda hot. The reintroduction of Kaori is excellent but this seems like a weak premise for an arc. |

| That was so dang weird, and an Obama referece, strange. |
