| Since when did Index become SAO? I meant...... what the fuck is that digital codes shows up beside KL during his fight??? Was Index take placed in a digital world or what??? This just showed even more that how Nishikiori have no idea what's he doing to Index anime. Too much stuffs was skipped here (Such as Sherry fight and the witch fights), are they really wants to adapt this arc with only 5 episodes in minds instead of 6 episodes? (If we follow the 3 episodes=1 volume format) And also Fiamma is nowhere to be seen in the preview, are they planning to skip his scenes and he being controlling Index in the next episode? Although even if this arc ended at EP15 instead of EP14, this is only hinted that DRAGON arc will only have 2 episodes (Which will be even worse and even more rushed than British Royal Arc). Why is the anime-only fans suddenly called Mikoto as "Misaki"? I know this may be a typo but this "Misaki" girl you all talking were actually the name of this girl lol:  Oh and to everyone who doesn't know, the anime will be on hiatus for a week due to new year holiday. revyHOLiC said: Where's Floris go after saved by Touma?

| This episode felt like a proper downgrade sadly. The only good parts of animation was for the remainder of the Acqua fight, which I'm glad that he was able to win and that paper golem in the subway. Apart from that, it's gone back to the mediocre quality from before. =/ Still, there was other plus points for the episode, with Misaka's reaction always bringing a smile to my face and the feast that showcased what Itsuwa could've worn if she wanted to be pure fanservice, which made me laugh. But aside from that, the episode felt like another rush-fest. Let's hope the next one is an improvement. |
| I thought this was a good episode. the fight was good |
| well, at least it was good to see that they dedicated sone time to that dinner shenanigans which is still funnier in the ln haha. i'm afraid to see if they'll butcher the only upcoming science side arc again smh |
| Hope they'll get a better schedule for New Testament and get a healthy production too. JC Staff has too many prroject so it's basically impossible to handle all their anime correctly. The mastermind behind JC Staff need to slow down and take less project to animate. RAILDEX series should be for JC Staff their goose that lays the golden egg and be their MAIN franchise. (sorry bad english) |

| okwow another great episode dynamic...who know how will it all turn out... hmmm next episode touma will resolve everything with a punch or something between the lines |

MahiaErebeaNegi said: Arcos said: Too slow paced episode 4/10 You considered this slow??? How is this episode slow when there's too many stuffs was skipped and pacing was a bit rushed? It's too slow because there were conversations and scenes where people didn't fight. They should only animate fight scenes in the future since the plot is beyond rescue anyway also why didn't touma digivolve like Angemon did against piedmon when he saw index in danger inside of the raeda, since this anime seems to play in the Digiworld (zero out)??? Is it because Index didn't had the amulet? |

You're completely mislead by Nishikiori since he took the word way too literally during that scenes, when KL's Zero Out is just simply make the attacks disappeared without any visual effects in the light novel. Index is always take placed in a real world not any virtual/digital world so no the evolution thing simply doesn't exist. Also that's HolyAngemon that he evolved during Piemon's final fight lol. |

MahiaErebeaNegi said: Lol but with how he stated the episode is too "slow", I don't think that he's joking or make fun of it. You are absolutly right. I think they should have adopted the volumes in just 13 episodes, that would have made things way better instead of stretching it out in 25 episodes. Also the show gives Index too much screentime (i mean you saw her for a few minutes in the last few episodes and she even had some lines besides "i am hungry"-jokes - thats way too much). I mean it isn't like this Anime is about her, it's about other people like Mikasa or Accelerator or this magic spear fighter chick which i don't know the name, which is implied by "a certain magical AcceleratorRailgunMagicChick" Also Angemon digivoled to Holyangemon, Holyangemon was already the evolved Digimon, so I'm staying correct if my statement that angemond digivoled (to holyangemon) when he fought Piedmon. |
| Take a big piece of fanservice, add random bs dialogs, lots of terrible animation and "fights" with no outcome N.B. logic not needed! Mix Repeat Voila! :D |
| Ahem! i'll just enjoy all this chaos going-on... 5/5. |

Arcos said: I think they should have adopted the volumes in just 13 episodes, that would have made things way better instead of stretching it out in 25 episodes. Even if this season just have 13 episodes it still won't change the story pacing if Nishikiori (And J.C Staff) still direct this series. The best solution will be finding an another studio that doesn't too busy with other projects, find an another director that does care and understand anything about this series (Unlike Nishikiori who only care because of fan-service and bath scenes) to direct this season, with at least 36 episodes in total without rushing the story plots (Since Dengeki really wanted to adapt Index NT as soon as possible so I think this season being the finale of OT will be fine). Although changing studio or director will never happen at this point.

I don't remember she have her own spin-off but she's indeed one of the main heroine in this series (Well in this season at least). Although there's a few scenes of Index in this season is mostly J.C Staff's idea aka anime-only fillers, she is still have some role in near the end of this arc so I don't think it's necessary to skipping her scenes (Well if the anime didn't skip her and Fiamma's scenes in next episode). To adds this, this arc will be the last time Index is relevant in this season as the DRAGON arc has nothing to do with her and Touma, and the last arc of this season she only appears briefly in near the end of the arc. |

| @revyHOLiC @MahiaErebeaNegi (not sure if I should tag you but I'm not sure what you said is the reason for not airing today). Why? Because the official site has announced their schedule for ep.13 and 14 (that's how they set the schedule). http://toaru-project.com/index_3/news/index00710000.html |

I just saw the official Toaru twitter made an tweet about the episode will not air today in one week ago, which make me assume that the episode didn't air because of new year holiday. |

| If that's the case then I really have no idea. If the channel doesn't get affect for having new years specials just like you said, then the only reasons I can think aside of new year holiday was either J.C Staff haven't finish working on EP13 yet (Since J.C is already too busy with other anime projects), or J.C wanted to bring some staffs from Index III (While the episode still made on halfway) to working on the first episode of Date a Live III, before the show start airing on January 11 (This is unlikely due to the first episode was just aired earlier on last week). Since the schedule was already set before EP12 even aired, I don't think either of those is the reason that this happened. |

What? no Index wasn't a co-star, she never was a co-star, Kamachi didn't even want the title to be named after her, Miki (Kamachi's editor) stopped him changing the title of the novel because it would be a hassle. But Index was never meant to be a main character, but a side character. She have roles, but her overall uses in the plot is only in Vol 1. Sisters is the best arc in animated form, but not the best arc overall. |

| Sisters arc is "best" animated because Railgun anime exists. Not only was it directed better and had decent production values for once, the source it adapts actually adds to the original story so it's a win-win-win. Vol1 was the best adapted arc in Index, if we ignore all of the above. Outside of a few minor tweaks it was handled rather well overall looked meh visually but anyway. |

In fact, it will only be worse and worse. |

Deadweight means she is eating screentime and doing nothing, which while true for the anime (due to shilling from the anime studio), it is not true on the script itself, ie.LN. |

| Man i spent the last few weeks rewatching a bit and reading index currently reading through this arc and while S3 is just barely enjoyable it's like Night and day with the LN(we should know this by now so no point complaining) but at this point a lot of anime only-er should do what i did if they actually really want to grasp what's being going on and read the LN, which shouldn't have to be the case but the director has messed up this so much that'd leave you confused majority of the time with out the full context to flush things out. frankly i been having a fun time reading it then seeing it animated right after and comparing the two mediums together |
 |
| It was a good setup for the next episode but I feel they tried to stuff too much into it and it was a little hard to follow. |
| Life Is Short But Intense. |
| Not a bad episode. Really enjoyed. |
 |
| I've come to the realization i don't need to understand what's happening in the show. Or why. Fuck it i'm just gonna go with the ride wherever it takes me. |
