| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh boy, Accelerator isn't messing around especially when it comes to Hamazura. Hamazura and Takitsubo Rikou got a decent amount of screen time together. And to be honest, Rikou really shows her concern for Hamazura besides the usual jokes. Accelerator and his group makes some risky and calculated moves this episode. A bit of a tense episode if you ask me. |
 |
| That guy must have a special weapon if he is talking to Accelerator like that, I hope it's not a lame jammer thing. |
 |
| Okay thats it, this season of index is a joke..may as well add another 10000 characters with idiotic names who work for groups with idiotic names. Oh and give em all masks or fake skin to make things even more stupid..i had to laugh at this scene tbh. When Index season 2 aired a lot of people made fun of it and called it A Certain Magical Side Character, this is even worse now. I wont lie, i have no idea whats going on since episode 1 and i made it pretty far with this, till now. I guess this is for people who know the LN. I like the Biribiri series tho, hope they wont ruin this one. |

The adaption was in mind that the watcher is a ln reader so the director and acreenwriter put only the highlights of esch reapective arc into the series. U should consider this series a highlight reel to the ln. It needed 36-38 to be a competent adaption, sadly it got sacrificed for the other juggernaut by kadokawa. To the episode liked it flowed better than the previous science arc and it had some nice consistent animation as aiwass is not cg hyped. š |

| I also remember it was frantic while reading this arc. Don't remember the scene with Hamazura just dropping and shooting, that looked very strange ... And just wasn't questiong at all him just killing people, it felt for Accel like it's "natural" ... Not to talking about his morale, but i'm pretty sure he doesn't ever talk how he killed people, even if it was for protecting and they were bad ones. The preview with some hype. |
 |
| lol i do not understand shit but Hamazura rescuing her girlfriend is cool and Accelerator and his GROUP is trying to find out what DRAGON is |

God no, this isn’t for LN readers, it’s like someone serving you shit that you know was previously a delicious feast and expecting you to pay them. The knowledge that there was once a delicious feast only makes it more painful. And god poor Aiwass, they better not delete his iconic speech and phrase. I guess the only thing that can kill god is the disgusting greed of corporation and capitalism. |

| So when will this preview end. As much as a hate...i mean like bad action movies i can't wait for this to end. All i can tell is that a lot of things are going on but there isn't any explanation at all. |
| Hamazura isn't strong, but at least he has luck on his side. Being able to convince the helicopter pilot to fly him to the skyscraper and successfully take down an armed team on the roof top was impressive, but being spared by Accelerator after Hamazura jumped to conclusions was very fortunate. At least he was able to rescue the delicate Takitsubo. Now its all hands on deck with three different fights to focus on, with Accelerator's one being the more interesting of the three. The preview does bring some hype for some good action ahead, so I hope that's the case so this arc can be wrapped up decently. =) |

Uh, I don’t know if I should laugh at you, because railgun 3 assuming it doesn’t get fillered to hell will also introduce a lot of new characters, also some of your complaints like fake skin man(his name is etzali, an atzec magician) has been around since the first damn season Besides fake skin man will also appear in railgun s3 ;) |

All i can tell is that a lot of things are going on but there isn't any explanation at all. The whole season has been rushed as f so far, no wonder u feel this. The novel of this arc was extremely detailed and explained lots of stuff that happened and how all got together it was breathtaking, also it flowed so well. The anime is making it a huge dissatisfaction. I would advise ya to read the ln those are epic good. |
| "Even villains have standards" -Accelerator- |
| This was painfully boring. |
| I may have hurt some hardcore fanbabys with my criticism, that makes me feel really warm inside. |
| Hamazura being useful again by attempting to save Takitsubo. I ship it! Next week seems to become fun with more action, however I can't seem to follow everything from the story sadly. So confusing. |
 |
| Yeah. So many people 'understand' what's going on. And I have no clue. Not because I do not remember 1st season side character. But because things just happen for no reason or counter-reason. "Hello, hello, my level 4 friend is not answering. Let's go burning underground mall because A)she must be there B)we are going to be ultra-useful since we are both powerless and both injured." "Hello, hello, I am mighty Accelerator. My battery run out and I am useless. Oh, I am powered up again and going to meet some old lady. And I need that certain stupid boy who thinks I am hero so old lady decides to help me. And everyone around says 'DRAGON' because it sounds cool." If this show is for LN readers only then bundle it with books, if not - then do the favor implement action-consequences routine. Right now it is just yolo-yolo all the way. |
| Who is the guy GROUP is chasing? What’s his objective? Why is Stephanie fighting Kinuhata? I swear the old woman was the same one Tsuchimikado killed? Why is this idiot Hamazura carrying injured pink tracksuit girl in a underground mall that caught fire?? Who are the black people saving shapeshifting dude? I’m so lost on what the hell is happening that I don’t care anymore. This season is trash. End it, and let’s get on with Railgun |
| Why do we need to keep jumping to this stupid side arc which aside from Accelerator has none of the main characters of the series. FFS Accelerator is getting his own series, put it in that. The whole Touma and Index story ended so abruptly and no we get this mess. Im so disappointed in this third series, the lack of focus and poor direction has been painful. |
| Hmm while Hamazura's attempt to force the pilot to help him didn't work out as planned its nice that she was able to see the true reason for his actions and decide to help. Hamazura sure had a close brush with death though but at least he was able to get to Takitsubo. Group's ploy though was pretty well played. Though to think that other groups have also managed to infiltrate the city as well. Im really curious to see what dragon actually is though. |

Saito6689 said: I may have hurt some hardcore fanbabys with my criticism, that makes me feel really warm inside. Not sure what you mean? You would have to be literally blind or retarded to think any fans of the series would gave any praise to the anime adaptation. You aren't even technically giving any criticism, though its not like you could, the anime is currently so detached from the source, as a 5 minute sock puppet summary is to Lord of the Rings trilogy movie. |
| "You had no free will, you chased your vices along the same path as all of the others." - Shikieiki Yamaxanadu, Diamond in the rough |
| I understand nothing, this show is shit. That kid who accelerator saved being there and his dialogue was cliche as fuck and frankly very stupid. The helicopter scene was also stupid and I'm not a fan of Hamazura being a main character now. We already have Touma for the level zero MC. I'd prefer if Mikasa got more focus, Touma, Accelerator and Mikasa would be a perfect trio for main characters. I know the LN is better, I've read the first few and they're a thousand times better than the anime but reading LN aren't really my thing so I procrastinate on it. If anything this season has killed off my interest in reading the LN because it's so disappointing. Paul said: Did that helicopter pilot girl seriously managed to threaten someone with just a razor while the other was literally holding a gun at her face? I know right, special training or not that didn't make too much sense.

Well that seems like an injustice to LN readers as well. Must pain them to see such a mediocre adaptation. I don't understand why this series gets such a shitty adaptation when the franchise is a huge cash cow and it has such an interesting world. What other juggernaut, isn't index super poupular? |

<Insert clever quote> |
| Poor episode, things are just far too rushed and random at the moment. Poor direction and inconsistent flow to the episode, too. Hamazura’s got incredible luck though and it was nice to see the touching reunion between him and Takitsobu. Him threatening the pilot with a gun but being threatened back with a razor was .. ingenious, really. Accelerator is just badass as ever and looks like we’re going to see him all out next episode, looking forward to that! Etzali copying Oyafune’s form was obvious but the other two security guards doing the same too felt odd. Looks like things are much more complex than what GROUP had anticipated. DRAGON is still mysterious and Kinuhata in trouble. Will Touma come to save the day for the heroes of the Academy City or will this be yet another Science arc without his presence? |

| Man, what a huge mess this season is for Index. Even IF I knew what the hell was going on...the way it jumps around and the amount of new characters we’re supposed to care about or whatever is ridiculous! This is a disappointment to be perfectly honest. I’m just waiting for Railgun at this point. |
_MushiRock11_ said: Will Touma come to save the day for the heroes of the Academy City or will this be yet another Science arc without his presence? Are you just forgot about Touma said he will go to Russia to punch Fiamma at the end of Episode 14? Also this arc is take placed during British Royal Arc, so no Touma will not appear in this arc. Seeing how Aiwass was animated in the preview, I wonder how will they gonna handle Accelerator's White Wings in the later episodes? I hope it's not another CGI like Kakine's wings. |

Right, of course. It seriously makes it feel like a side-story arc then, for an anime-only such as I. |

Well.... the main purpose of this arc was just explains what is DRAGON and both Accelerator and Hamazura went to Russia at the end, as this arc is just a set up for the final arc of season 3. Just rewatched the episode in English Sub, I just realized something.......... did Tecpatl's design in the anime was based on Mikoto's father? Because Tecpatl's face look a bit like him, or is this just me? |
| It's funny because all this exposure of characters, groups, powers / spells is basically useless because in the end the whole arc will end in the same way as always, in fact the whole plot of index is an endless cycle of: -Touma and her girls try to stop it. -They beat them up, someone stronger comes to help. -He also takes a beating. -Touma defeat him with a punch in the face. -Another bad guy one comes out worse than the previous one taken out of nowhere. -And defeats him again with a punch in the face. So many grandiloquent speeches, so many characters trained for years with a power that claims to be the most OP that exists, and all for nothing because a simple high school student can annul it with his arm. |

What? Touma isn’t even in this arc That's why Misaka and accelerator will never stand out beyond their own series. |

| Is that Aiwass on the preview? |
| Ok so who is this Hamazura guy and what his relationship with that Takitsubo girl???? Ok so it looks like Kinuhata Saia has been shot by Stephanie Goregouspalace, so why is she still alive????/ |

| Confusing, but i'm still enjoying this season nevertheless. All i care about is that my man Accelerator is back and doing Accelereator things. |

| Accelerator got a decent amount of screentime, so it was a decent episode. The helicopter pilot threatening Hamazura with a knife was hilarious, if she stabbed him by surprise it would have been okay, obviously that can't happen for the Plot, so they should have at least given her a gun lol. |
| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| Hamazura was useful and brave in this episode. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Accelerator is getting his own show. Why don't they don't just put all this stuff into that show. It feels like they're just cramming everything into this season. |
Tiau said: garydai said: Accelerator is getting his own show. Why don't they don't just put all this stuff into that show. It feels like they're just cramming everything into this season. Accelerator is a protagonist of Index, his stuff has to be covered even if they weren't trying to finish rest of OT in one season I haven't read the LN, but whenever it goes to Accelerator and his group I always feel like they're rushing through stuff. It can get frustrating to watch. I thought they could treat him similar to Misaka and her group. I know she's probably doing stuff in the background, but they're saving it for her show. I'm okay with that. Obviously I haven't read the LN, so maybe they can't do that with Accelerator. |
