Oh, so that satellite that was randomly taken out by a giant laser was part of the plot? Ok then.

An ok episode. Not really sure if it was like this in the manga, but they really dragged out that bridge scene. They repeated the whole "Move.No.Blast.Gets up." three times. They even used the same blast animation every single time.

Dreaming of an heroic death... Such a stupid, childish and selfish dream. But we all thought about it at one point, about the glory it would bring us...

Anyway, we learned the whole deal with Misaka clones. I feel stupid that I didn't thought that she could have been fooled by cloning herself xD

Oh wow, I had kind of forgotten when Index hitted that satellite when Touma saved her :P

That wasn't emotional at all. It was just Toaru trolling Misaka and taking advantage of her tsundere personality to make her throw a temper tantrum.

Too much talking, LOL.

So that is the condition to achieve Level 6, huh?

Touma talk no jutsu is quite impressive as ever.

What? I don't quite understand anything... but basically Misaka is used by that Accelerator to achieve level 6. Then Misaka wants to save the other Misaka by the destroying the facility?

And here I thought Naruto talk-no-jutsu is the weirdest thing people could imagine, but Touma used this jutsu to get girls... Good job Touma.

Anyway... so why is it called INDEX on the title then? If it's actually going to focus on Mikasa story-line and the esper thing? I don't quite get this series, but I should know more by watching.

Touma is stubborn getting back up like that. He's fairly generic but I still like him.

The government really wants a level 6...

I thought this episode was stretched out entirely too long. Granted, all the episodes of this anime are stretched out more than needed, but it was the same freaking conversation for pretty much the entire second half


I share this complaint. And the panty shot was not very fitting for the overall mood either.

But I think the episode was still above average; it managed to make me feel something for Mikoto and I liked the scene where the teacher explained how esper powers work. Although the transition from that scene to the one where Mikoto is contemplating sacrificing herself on the bridge felt a little awkward, along with the insert song.

Accelerator seems cool. I haven't seen much of him yet but he seems to be best character in show. Tbh he's the reason I started watching this. This "military experiment" sounds stupid and cliche, I mean come on, bunch of girls dying like rats to Accelerator won't make him any stronger and whoever is behind that experiment should've realized that unless they're as smart as potatoes. It's like massacring noobs in FPS game over and over. All you learn is camping like an idiot. Killing same enemy won't teach you much. There's some cheap writing but if it's fixed it can be fine.

I'm interested in this arc, but I think we already had a Touma's stubbornness>everything else episode when he was getting smacked around by Kanzaki. Actually added some depth to Misaka's character though, and I still enjoyed it

Am I the only one who thinks that this was well executed in Index than in Railgun S?
The fight scenes and the emotional impacts are well done here than in Railgun S. If Index had less plot breaks, it would have been better than Railgun itself.

Misaka's fight. WHOA. Also, Touma is a better character here than in Railgun S. This gave better fight scene than in Railgun S.

Looking to next episode.

Like that Sensei, with the Schrodinger's cat explanation. I understood it better than when my teachers tried to teach me. So, that's what it means. I wish I had that loli as my sensei(Who is apparently older than she looks).

This is shaping up to be a better sci-fi than any series I have ever seen.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Touma is one seriously worthless protagonist. Sums up my feeling of his lack of intellect. He just risked his life for what exactly? Does she mean so much for him that she is worth risking his life for in this utterly illogical manner? What about Index if he died?

Well, bad writer who is uable to think about the series big picture and only goes on a scene by scene basis is bad writer indeed. Hope he/she gets better at writing as it progresses.

Even after watching this arc via Railgun, it felt quite drawn out. Liked the ESP talk with Sensei, even if just to see Index being cutely frustrated, since it added a simple ground for the whole 'Personal Reality' thing for espers.

Bridge talk ended up feeling very elongated somehow. And still want to know what Misaka was doing when she was approached to give her DNA map. Where were her parents?! The 'consent' of a child should not have even been considered legal! (although this is academy city, where everything is shady as all hell)

While it would've broke the serious tone, it would've been a laugh if they cut to Index sneezing after Misaka said that Tree Diagram had been destroyed by an unknown attack a few weeks ago :P

rewatching index and looking back at this tread seeing people wanting this episode was shorter

I'd honestly rather have a "stretched" adaptation that takes time slowly with its character and build ups rather than a rushed LN adaptation with a lot of cuts
