crazy_eights said: ... but is it me or did the script or whatever just turn horrendous. touma claiming if only he could touch the Ellis to stop its attack....well stop avoiding his attacks dumbass and then you can touch him. seriously there have been too many wtf moments going on in this show lately. this episode was such a waste. exactly my thoughts! |
 |
| It was a good episode I guess. |
 |
| lol, like Touma's arms are even much larger than Index's. If even at all. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Good episode, a little confused about the AIM dispersion field.. |
     |
| Alrite episode. Like CrazyEights said, when Touma says if he could just touch Ellis. Haha. But he's dodgin' all over the place. |

kage-bunshin said: Lol when they fightpretty funny episode, touma is like i won't make that mistake again and what happens? fanservice! then there was when misaka and index meet, for two girls who pretty much say they have no interest in him, they sure fight about him a lot |

Wasabi said: I'm ashamed to say I too laughed a bit at this, and judging by the replies it seems there are quite a few with the same sick sense of humour =pAm I the only one that laughed when Hyouka got suddenly rock'd in the face? It was so random and looked like it hurt like hell though so you just had to giggle a bit^^ Interesting character that Cromwell girl, though she appears to be the typical warmongering manic with no special motives or reasons but to fight for the fun of it. Cool golem summon ability too, massively evil |
Wasabi said: Haha, yeah that was really unexpected so I giggled a bit. xDAm I the only one that laughed when Hyouka got suddenly rock'd in the face? |

Wasabi said: Am I the only one that laughed when Hyouka got suddenly rock'd in the face? I lol'd too. That was fucking hilarious. XD |
 |
| I didn't laugh... I'm constantly going "Uggghh.. that's ganna hurt" while watching this series... Biting, and exploding and punching and chopping off an arm and biting and more biting and more biting... same reaction when the glasses girl got rocked... This is a rather violent series... Biting... |

| What is Hyouka exactly? I got lost when Komoe talked about the AIM dispersion field with Touma. Why the heck was the brown magician referring Hyouka as a key? and how did Hinemigami knew all those stuffs about Hyouka?! Also, what the fuck was that thing inside Hyouka's head? Seems to be a very interesting piece. Plus, if Touma can control Ellis's movements, then he should have done that in their first battle, or was he too scared to try it out of Imagine Breaker would work? I think the best part was when Misaka and Index were quarrelling about Touma. I kinda like Misaka more but I still love Index. <3 |
| The ending scene seems cool. But I'm seriously getting tired of Touma's recklessness. Just because he has Imagine Breaker, he thinks he's a hero all of a sudden. |
WinterNightsFall said: Wasabi said: Am I the only one that laughed when Hyouka got suddenly rock'd in the face? No. Lol. I'm ashamed to say that I laughed too. I think we all are. |
 |
| Somewhere along the lines i lost track of the plot.. What the hell is going on? |
Jrittmayer said: WinterNightsFall said: Wasabi said: Am I the only one that laughed when Hyouka got suddenly rock'd in the face? No. Lol. I'm ashamed to say that I laughed too. I think we all are. I feel bad but... I did too. I didn't expect her to get hit by a rock. I thought Touma was going to get to her in time. XD Love the outfits that Index and Hyouka had from the changing room scene. ;) I wonder how Touma is going to challenge Sherry and her Golem? |

Yeah, but no one is ever apparently die. Which cheapens the violence, if you ask me. Knowing this, it's understandable for people to see the rock in the face scene as funny. |

| I was kinda disgusted seeing Kazakiri with that hole in her face. |
 |
| Index and Mikoto meet for the first time and they're already fighting over Touma. ^^ Touma is once again going out of his way to save a girl. How many has he saved already? xD The (w)hole thing about Hyouka was pretty interesting, but still a little weird. Curious what that "terrorist" has to do with everything then, apart from her wanting to start a war. Wasabi said: Once again; no you weren't. =PAm I the only one that laughed when Hyouka got suddenly rock'd in the face? |
 |
shocker girl said: your another "i didnt ask for help but he came to help anyway?" i love this line. the way she said made me feel like touma is a type of character thats been used in other animes (which i have a feeling already has. WinterNightsFall said: Wasabi said: Am I the only one that laughed when Hyouka got suddenly rock'd in the face? No. Lol. I'm ashamed to say that I laughed too. i'm guilty of it too, lol it seems we have found a rivalry now. |
     |
| cool stance by Touma at the end, but we all know that hes gonna get his ass whooped before he defeats the enemy or someone assists him. |
 |
| Man, no wonder Toma gets all the girls, he’s super nice and he’s willing to save them in whatever situation comes up. |
| Never go full retard |
| Touma can be a real idiot - why did he not think to try blocking some of the attacks with his right hand earlier? Anyway, the rock to the face scene was unexpected and hilarious. Index meeting Mikoto was also pretty good. |

| this episode FULL of WIN! I Think I gonna LIKE this ARC :DDD First off, I love how Index and Touma tripped over one another, it was FUNNY! Then we see Misaka Cross Touma Cross Index LOOOL. THAT jealousy and confrontation was jaw dropping HILARIOUS!!! Really AWESOME!!! THEN comes another UNEXPECTED attack on me! XDDD From previous episodes, I suspected that Hyouka is more than she appears from the hints Himegami told us. ! When Hyouka came to the scene of the fight, typically I thought she had some esper power or something and "standardly" would go help fight. When that rock hit her face, and her face was broken, I was like What the heckkkkk :OOO! She's not human :O but formed from AIM? WOW! totally didn't see that coming. That makes Hyouka not just some ordinary side character with some side power that no one really cares LOOOL. Touma was badass in end too. Amazing!!! 5/5 episode |

| It makes no sense for me to take especially Mikoto out of the tunnel. She would have been obviously beneficial in a fight against the golum. But, I guess her powers could be dangerous in the tunnels. Still, it just seems to me like a cheap way of making Touma, yet again, get all the glory. Annoys the shit out of me when only the main hero gets to do the cool stuff. The episode was just badly executed aside from this, though. The writing just hurts all empathy I should have for the characters. |

| Lol dat random fan service! But tbh what great development, already thought that new girl was a bit suspicious but something like that I didn't expected! Quite awesome, lets see what's next! |
 |
| 3/5 I was not excited that much this episode, Touma got on my nerves for his doings! Mikoto an increasingly important role! The part where Hyouka is hit was a tad creepy! Poor thing ... |

| Ok, that turned out to be a great episode. Hyouka is a fascinating phenomenon. Is it just me, or Sensei is way too expecting towards Touma? |
  |
| Hmmm this needs more accelerator or mikasa arc rather that magician stuff arcs |
FlierFin663 said: So let me get this straight... You have been trapped in an underground shopping mall by a sorceress who uses golems (you know this because said golems were observed before the collapse of the mall). In your party, you have: A) A top class Esper who has proven to be able to take on a golem. B) A member of Judgment who has proven to be capable of going up against the sorceress. C) An girl who has the knowledge of 103,000 grimoires which is proven to also includes knowledge on golems. D) A level 0 Esper who has an anti-magic ability that may or may not work against living stone crashing down on him. E) A girl who - by all indications - has no special abilities whatsoever. Who do you evacuate? Who do you leave behind? Why the obvious choice would be to evacuate the first 3 and leave the last two behind! WHAT THE FUCK!? Because safety of those that are in the biggest danger(Index) and the duties AND feelings of a member of Judgement are coming second to defeating the enemy right? And Kuroko would be dead if not for Misaka.So yeah ,try again. |

And Kuroko would be dead if not for Misaka.So yeah ,try again. Never said anything about going off to defeat the enemy. In terms of safety, you'd leave behind those who are known to be able to defend themselves against the threat while you make first priority for those who can't. And that completely disregards Kuroko's personality and Index being in danger.Also Touma cannot be teleported. Also they didnt stay behind to fight but to wait to be teleported(and evacuated normally in Touma's case).Touma and Kazakiri left their position to fight and wonder around.There was no reason to think of safety if they were only waiting there, far away from the threat. |
| hmm what an episode.. touma stopped the golem and that moment when hyouka get...... |
| Lol at Index and Biribiri :)), jealous much :P. Good episode.. Seems like we get a new person in the Touma group. |
 |
| Pretty sure Zapper and Index had it bang to rights when they gave each other the "you too?" look... "toma gets girl by saving her without asking her first if she needs him too" so far: index clone 10032 Misaka Himegami just they should never all meet in the same room to discuss toma while he's there.... it could end badly for the guy with his luck.... then again another trip to the hospital and more nurses (he's been in there enough times to get all their names surely) |

That is still a sign of irresponsibility toward Shirai for not assuming worst case scenarios. What if the golem suddenly appeared right when they least expect it? What if Sherry manages to break through the soldiers protecting the civilians? Now what do you have left to fend for yourself? Pretty unreasonable to not prioritize the most vulnerable members first(that is, Index and Hyouka). |

Pretty unreasonable to not prioritize the most vulnerable members first(that is, Index and Hyouka). The golem and Sherry arent so fast especially in an tunnel with Anti Skill suppressing them.So that worst case scenario is very unlikely and not Shirai's fault. What Shirai didnt think,and there was no reason for it, was that they would leave their position. |
| Oh damn, two tsundere encounter... xD Poor Touma, really is trapped in a crossfire. So Hyouka was a ghost. Well, she isn't even a ghost, she's just some kind of existance that shouldn't exist and exist somehow. Someone or something that shouldn't be there. But at the same time, she have a lot of common thing with humans, doesn't that make her human in some ways? |

Soulstrider said: Wasabi said: Am I the only one that laughed when Hyouka got suddenly rock'd in the face? Me too, that was completely unexpected I didn't know if that scene was supposed to be funny or touching. I mean there were quite a bit of tears and the whole "human" vs artificial being thing again. |
| Another dissapointing episode. If this arc was somewhere in the middle of the series I would drop it but now I'll have to force myself to finish this. |
