Accelerator is back! Finally, more of the characters from science side shows themselves again.

Hell, even Hamazura is back along with Kinuhata Saiai. Pretty much more of a development episode. Accelerator and his group are still following up on their leads and I guess they're trying to stay ahead in their game.

Hamazura and Kinuhata had more chemistry than before the time they were with ITEM heh

I am happy to see Hamazura back. His interactions with Kinuhata might be the highlight of the episode for me though I also how Accelerator claims he's a villain yet acts quite anti-heroic.

That was not that bad if not talking about all the cut-off stuff. Liked the comedy stuff this time, don't remember that School guys just like that calling Musujime shotacon ... That was funny.

Seriously? What kind of direction is the director going for is stupid. Wasting time here for comedy rather than the story, I prefer to see Railgun than this crap.

Hanazura and Kinuhata stole the show for me. I know that the plot of this arc is important and all, but the comedy scenes with these two simply kept on making me chuckle a lot. The lucky bastard also got to see her panties twice as well. XD

Accelerator was also doing his job as usual, getting stuff done while saying "I'm a punk-ass villain" a few times. Certainly amusing.

The hospital scene was also full of humour, with Musujime jabbing at the other guys in the room about being lolicons, but Accelerator got back at her by calling her a shotacon. Her reaction, as well as THAT voice-break, was hilarious! =3

While the main plot felt rushed, the comedy was strong in this episode and I really liked it overall.

By now u should have understood, that the producers/director made this season with it in the mind that the watcher is a ln reader. Most people in japan from what i gathered line and through jap friends is that most know the source and that u should consider this as a highlight reel to the ln. All in all the message of index III is read the LN or get fck** 😅

Hmm the types of jobs that accelerator does sure is varied. Last order's as merry as ever lol. Ironic in that the team that saved the kids were actually shadows and not really heroes though. So the remaining disparate groups of the city were all combined into one new group then. Despite his attitude its nice that Accel is able to show kindness as well. That scene with that injured pregnant teacher was a nice touch. Hamazura and Kinuhata really can't catch a break huh. But their interactions sure were hillarious. Decent ep that felt a bit more focused than previous ones featuring the team. Curious to see what will happen next.

Yeah it makes the light novel look bad, and it's the director's fault with JC Staff.

Back to the science side of things. Gotta love seeing Accelerator back, been a while..
We even get to see Hamazura again as well, still don't know why he's a "main" character and not Accelerator.

That Saiai panties shot was funny, justice served if you try provoking him :P

Guess Hamazura sums this episode up pretty good

Could have shown Accelerator more in action but it was okay i guess

but man that bridge scene around 16:20 boy they missed some frames there

I recognize a couple of characters like the girl with the red pigtails but it's been that long since I watched Railgun and Index S2. I still maintain the cast of characters is far too large.

This season feels completely rushed, unorganized and simply low quality.
I literally can't follow all those 1 or 2 episode long stories that suddenly cut back to other stories or mention words or peoples for a single episode.

15 Episodes and so far I haven't enjoy a single one after episode 2 or 3.
I'm reaching a point where I think it would've been better not to get this season as in my honest opinion, it just ruins the whole anime.

Why is Hamazura suddenly a main character? He's great, but a main character over Accel who becomes a legit second protagonist in the lns? Absurd.

And yeah, it's always great to see more of GROUP. Accel and Awaki in particular.

Well it's not your fault to think that way since J.C Staff (And possibly Kadokawa too) wanted to rushed the story by adapts 9 volumes into 26 episodes so they can get an Index NT anime adaptation as soon as possible.

What I mean is Hamazura is "main" while Accel's still listed as just "supporting" is what is absurd. You said it yourself, Hamazura is the 3rd protag, and the one who is the 2nd, that is attained that status before Hamazura, is Accel, not the other way around. That means the possible combinations at this point of story are only the following: a. both are still supporting, b. Accel is main while Hamazura is still supporting, c. both main. What we have now, with Accel being stuck supporting while Hamazura is already main is out of order and absurd.

Well there is mostly positive to mixed reception from fans in Japan so it's not impossible to see NT adapt. The anime committee is their choice
to decide it if they want to continue it. I prefer a remake even if everyone disagrees with me, because it's the studio that doesn't care for the source material and people seriously liked this series for fanservice which destroys the story telling of kamachi's work. If anyone think this series is going to be popular it's never happening. The amount of newcomers in the west and in Japan doesn't like this series for its complex story telling and for that is the directors fault along with JC Staff. It's just not possible with the new studio and it will never happen if they destroy OPM 2 brutally.

I'm actually more confused that people are confused honestly, everyone here is old and the only new person while didn't get the ss2 scene is still pretty easy to understand what she's doing here(though someone pointed out to me CR's subs fucked up her motivation so maybe thats it).

? Second half of OT is what was anticipated by fans. NT is widely considered as mediocre and uninteresting in Japan. Also, Index anime has always been rushed, it's nothing new.

Then explain how comes NT8-10 and Othunis is so popular if Japan fans don't like it? Unless if you talking about the second half of NT since a lot of fans dropped it due to Kamisato's "asspull" power.

Also J.C Staff stated in one of the interview that they originally wanted to adapts NT into anime, but the anime fans will confusing as hell if they did so they make Index III with rushing story plot instead.

All arcs besides acquas are like this so far, jus look at the british royal arc it got only 5 eps, they really rushed the conclusion of it and cut the most intense action parts while leaving the unimportant terror attack on the plane in with touma getting significantly less badass.
