Different Ship. People complain about the exposition, but when they cut back look what happens:P


It's the same plot hole.

Lol yes. I was being humorous. The arc was full of plot wholes, and the joke was that a couple minutes of exposition could have easily fixed that. It plays on the fact that the overuse of exposition was a common complaint in season one, but season two has less exposition and has been suffering because of it.

And now we've effectively killed the joke...

after these 2 arcs I'm sick of the roman catholic storyline.
Finally someone said except I was already sick even when the first arc came around in regards to that storyline. I just decided that it was really a comedic mockery of my beliefs despite finding entertaining it quickly stalled for me.

It doesn't really strike me as a comedic mockery so much as merely a manifestation of the fictional setting. The Roman Catholic church is a very different church today than it was a thousand years ago. Teaches a very different set of values. In this setting they aren't, and neither are any of the other churches really. The British Puritans have similarly been portrayed more in line with their history and less in line with their present. Heck, one could argue that the scientific community is portrayed pretty poorly within the show as well.
Agreed to this. They have been portrayed as they were in the past without any evolution. One can argue that it is almost as the portraying of how the Church may change due to one's person actions alone. Touma indeed has been shapping a lot of characters around, specifically Kanzaki and Magnus.
Gangler said:
When the roman catholics command the largest force of warlocks and soldier-nuns on the planet, I think that's about the moment we get to stop expecting too much resemblance between them and existing religions. Iirc the church also has pretty harsh views on witchcraft;)
Once again it was like that in the past and IRL history it goes back to the Church employing magic mixed within their own beliefs hence where exorcism and angel magic came into view along with the knights but I have yet to see a true Knight Templar with powerful magic appear. Those knights with Gregory's chant in season 1 do not make up that expectation. I want sword wielding tough Hulk powerful magic user knight templar to show up.
Gangler said:
That being said the next arc should be a pleasant change of pace^^ They've given themselves eight episodes to do it. That should be more than enough. If they butcher it I'll be pissed. As far as I'm concerned it wouldn't matter what they did with the rest of the season so long as it meant they got this one arc right. They cut volume eight to 2 episodes and they did this arc in three when it really could have used that fourth episode. Animation quality has been dropping throughout the season. I'm hoping this next arc is why.

I agree and am hoping next arc will have a pleasant up in quality.
Gangler said:
I suspect that the oversaturation of roman catholics has been building us up to something. The first season really was much more diverse with its' villains:( Been having fun, but we haven't really had anything as good as Izzard or the Sister Arc yet... Season one we didn't see the same kind of villain twice. Season two we've had over half of our villains come from the same group sharing similar motivations.
Agreed also, the diversification should be upped and unfortunately I can only hope that season 3 will give us exactly that, if they can remove the ecchi parts that the ban will not tolerate, I do not see a problem other than perhaps the violence that may issue. Toning that down would not be good IMO.

Im sorry about the name, I hate it ,but i suck at making usernames so i came up with the something cheesy. Anyway i do read the novels. Im up to date with V.22.
I know what ur talking about



but the anime did it a bit differently having index not mention that it has a magic lock and went straight to touma punching it. Then index said "Unlike the escort ships, this ship has magic embedded through out its structure" Which is no different than the novels explanation minus the block structure explanation.

Lol yes. I get the impression those knights really were quite powerful. Too bad Kanzaki killed them at the beginning of volume seven. Doesn't matter how good they were, she's a saint (Izzard was also kind of a rigged fight lol). You're right though, I'd like to see one of those too. A real Paladin type character with Holy magic and Righteous Fury. We get a lot of Priest types but where's a knight when you need one?

I suspect the reason they're suspiciously absent is because Touma does poorly against armed opponents. Just look back to volume one when Kanzaki beat him senseless without breaking a sweat or even unsheathing her sword. If he encountered a real badass with a good two handed blade it might not end too well. Basically the same reason the Touma's villain of the week never walks up with a handgun. Touma's reaction "Oh Noes!!! Bullets are my Kryptonite!"

Poor guy doesn't even have a spidey sense to tell him when they're coming:(

Personally I'm a fan of how his limitations are portrayed so accurately. There was a quote in one of the books I liked. From the scene in this arc when he's diverting all the golems.
Things like numbers are a huge concern for him. I think he's got a similar situation with weapons.

So far the only armed opponent he's won against is Tatemiya, and that was through a combination of dumb luck and having Stiyl backing him up. Without Stiyl he would have lost. Timing that punch wrong would have also resulted in a pretty quick decapitation. He hasn't made a habit of such luck so I don't find it objectionable.

I'm hoping though that as the team develops it'll present opportunities for more complex stratagems as well as greater complexity and variance in the buildup to his final one on one confrontation. We all saw volume nine and ten. Straight-forward chase scenes only go so far. If we'd gotten Mikoto to hack the security cameras that arc could have bypassed about three hundred pages of uninteresting. Probably about four episodes. Then while Touma was taking care of card-girl Tsuchimikado could have focused his reconnaissance skills towards finding the brains of the outfit while Index, from a safe distance over the phone, puzzled out all that crap with how the artifact functions. Because she'd be communicating with Orsola and Sherry that would free up the dialogue on the front lines for subject matter more interesting than dumbing down the magic for Touma. I have some pretty high hopes for how this all looks once we have a formalized team.

Hoping that formalized team will also mean we can get more armed opponents, as Stiyl, Tsuchimikado, Tatemiya (really any of the amakusa), and to a degree even Misaka should all be able to handle that pretty well. We shouldn't have to rely so heavily on Touma.

Edit: found the quote, replaced my poor paraphrasing.

Sherry should have been included way earlier with some action with her powers. It was all good already Accelerator got some time and woooot some more next episode. I just happen he will use his powers so that action will be nice. Sherry though would be kick ass with that Golem fighting bad guys.

Just a reminder, they might put a nice team combo with Misaka, Index and Touma because the first ED showed then meeting at the end of it. I don't think it only means the friendly reunion.

I think Sherry's switch to intelligence division was probably a good move. I can't see her contributing too much to the party balance as far as combat goes. We've already got Stiyl who's a better summoner than her and more versatile. Her golems are large, but lack the offensive and defensive capacity of Innocentius. Plus since her skills are remarkably lacking outside of the golem department she'd be pretty redundant on the front lines.

Indeed. Seeing as Touma's the hero and Mikoto's the heroin, and Index is the namesake I'd be surprised if they didn't have at least those core members on the team.

I think it'll be interesting seeing how Mikoto fairs against wizards, as most have a much more versatile means of attacking than her. Plus many are trained soldiers of some form, skilled melee combatants. Mikoto, for all her esper powers, has the physical prowess of a middle school girl. Despite how powerful she is in Academy city I don't think she'll get to one shot very many opponents once she starts getting involved in magical affairs.

Yes the doctor is one of the most interesting characters in this show.
And he should get way more screen time.
I personally think that this season has been missing out on 3 major characters that would definitely spice things up and make it way more interesting.
The doctor is one of them the other two are Kanzaki and Accelerator.

Yumekichi11 said:
I think it was Gangler that mentioned that Touma could have Masochistic personality disorder which seems to describe him perfectly.
Which also explains his drastic ways to help others.
It's like the author looked at the symptoms and thought hey that would make a interesting character.

Yumekichi11 said:
I never figured her as the type that would have fantasies about wearing a maid outfit.
She just doesn't look like someone that would wear such submissive clothing.
Kanzaki is a very dominant character and this is what makes her sexy and attractive, wearing a maid outfit ruins that appearance.

Yumekichi11 said:
I am actually wondering about that.
In her phone call Kanzaki mentioned that she has nothing to do with the Amakusa and more.
Could it be that she is purely part of the Anglican church now?
Since Laura Stuart also mentioned something about limiting Kanzaki's actions, and from what we seen from Laura Stuart she is a woman with lot's of tricks up her sleeves.

Tho i don't think the Anglican church has been showed so extreme, but they have showed it as going as far as to kill there enemy's.
Like the way they loot out Lidvia in last arc.

I agree with you on last season like you mentioned it has been been to much of the same characters and last arc also showed more diverse reasons for there actions.
And i hope next arc will be something completely different from what we have seen up till now.
Seeing Accelerator and Last Order definitely seems to suggest such.

In regards to touma being brought back to academy city, the conversation in the LN reads like this.

So the official explanation is that it's because he's an esper. This does presumably mean that an esper is physically different from a normal person. I'm not sure whether that means that they need special medical attention to the point that normal medicine might react poorly to them, or if it's a matter of containing secrets.

However the notion that there's more to this than we're being told isn't really outlandish. I have a bit of a hard time believing they pull out one of those planes every time someone gets injured outside the city. Then again, I don't know what the policies are on leaving the city. Could be that no one gets to go home during holidays so it just doesn't come up too often. Lord knows it's hard enough to get in to academy city on a normal day. It could apply both ways.

Kanzaki was purely a part of the Anglican church from the beginning of the series. She was originally the leader of the Amakusa, but because they couldn't keep up with her they kept on dying. Because of that she left them to join the Anglicans. In the events of the seventh volume the Amakusa, after following in her footsteps finally ended up being absorbed into the Anglicans, technically they're an Anglican sect now. This being said Kanzaki still left the group. She feels responsibility for them, and has been shown to even try and look after them from the shadows, but she keeps her distance because she's afraid she'd hurt them if she got too close or rejoined. Also, the Amakusa still view her as their leader and guiding influence even if she does refuse to let them follow her.

So um... yeah, that's the situation.

I think with the Anglicans we're getting a bit of hometeam wartime treatment. In any war movie, what the American soldiers are doing is probably as bad as the enemies, but much of the worst stuff is left implied, and there's often the understanding that since the other team is the bad guys it's all okay. The Anglicans have been shown to do much, and to be power hungry. They haven't attempted to destroy the earth per say, but they have nukes the same as the Catholics. They have Index, and Kanzaki. In the LN's it refers to countless people killed by Stiyl (he primarily combats large platoons and cults solo, because once he sets up Innocentius he can just let it go to town and slaughter everyone. Since it's temperature is so high,3000 degrees celcius, it can pretty much go right through most walls and metals. It can't really be destroyed. It's an unstoppable killing machine. It's easier to do this if he doesn't have to worry about working his way around not killing allies). Furthermore they've been shown to have a secret alliance with Academy city.

Admittedly they haven't tried to destroy half the planet or anything, but I don't think the anglicans have quite the history the catholics do anyway. Then again I'm not terribly knowledgeable on the topic. If they do I'd still just chalk it up to the fact that the Anglicans aren't quite as powerful as the Catholics, and are a much smaller religion. If they tried to do what the Catholics have done they couldn't handle the backlash. The catholics, with 2.3 million members, an entire history of powerful religious artifacts, and having a general stranglehold of fear set up throughout the entire religious world (no one would stand up to them because the Catholics could destroy them without breaking a sweat), have been acting in line with this.

Without meaning to get controversial, it's like how the US can afford to have an aggressive military because they're on top. Other countries have Nukes too, but despite likely being guilty of equivalent crimes, are more cautious in their actions. Brittain was similarly aggressive when they were on top. Now that they aren't their behavior has altered in accordance with this.

This next arc is like a frikkin wet dream. It's a change of pace. It's got the best of the slice of life, the action, the plot, the accelerator. Minimizes all the horrible faults and flaws that hurt the series. It's got just about anything you could ever ask for. I just pray they do it justice. We do not need a bastardized poorly animated cliffnotes of this arc. We need the arc. Plain and simple. Hoping they can give that to us.

Seriously, just take the arc, put it on the screen. I don't need to hear complaints about budgets or narrative stylistic problems, or time constraints or anything else. Do what you need to do, get it done, and show us some freaking results. Nothing less is acceptable this time. As good as the arc is I've got some serious trepidation walking into it now.

On another note entirely, has anyone noticed if Gensou Koroshi has been used in season 2? It's the battle theme. It was used in the Accelerator battle in Index 1, as well as just about every other major fight. Used a couple times in Railgun as well. When she's taking on the giant robot and I think also against the level 0 monstrosity thing. It can be found here. That song really made the first season, and I really think we'll need it this next arc. I suspect it hasn't been in use, as I'd probably have noticed, but lost my archives recently so I can't check.

They should use it! Seriously I listened to it and we need this song. It sounds amazing and has unlimited potential in making the scene better. I feel as though struggle, fighting spirit and perseverance can be magnified with this song. Could it be?

I personally feel the song is right up there with ride of the valkyries. Any moment set to this song immediately becomes an epic moment in which fate lies in the balance. There's a reason every truly awesome scene in S1 had it. It indeed does everything you said. Way I see it, if they don't have a proper replacement for it, they have no excuse not to be using it.

They used it in the beginning of the final episode of railgun. Episode started with a bang. Straight from the beginning that episode outshone the rest of the series.

When you look at how many of the best scenes in season one use the song, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was integral to the series. It could not have been what it was without this song. Literally any moment it starts playing, you know you're in for a treat.

I honestly think they ruined the ''To Aru Majutsu no index'' that I loved and cherished. That arc was the most bland, irrelative, and ill-plotted arc i've seen in a long time. I've seen a lot of bad anime, but to see one of my favorite anime go from excellent, to utter trash. It's a sad sight to see. The anime world has become a sad, sad place. Money cringing, corporate asses run the market now. Some people still enjoy the crap they spit out. I really hope they bring this back, somehow. I'm actually praying for it. Please, please have a decent arc that actually makes sense and doesn't dialogue that comes out of nowhere! Looking forward to the next!

So if his touch dissolves the ship, then why wasn't he falling through the floor every time he got knocked down? also, why didn't he try touching Agnes when she started convulsing? He probably couldn't have broken whatever link she had. And why didn't he try touching that massive ball? it was obviously pretty important and was probably the core of the spell. Why didn't the fleet sink when the flag ship did? wasn't it maintaining all of them remotely?

I'm getting very very tired of the massive number of plot holes in this series, and even more tired of that moron Touma who just spouts random nonsense and then miraculously manages to land blows with his right hand. Seriously, any halfway competent enemy could have killed him at least 20 times over during any of his fights.

Wow that arc was terrible. It was a struggle to get through, not only was it boring as all hell, the animation was also bad. Also, pretty ironic that Touma says something along the lines of "don't you dare lay a finer on her' when he punched her in the face twice. I'm glad this arc is over and hopefully the next one is good (or at least decent).

I thought Touma's Imagine Breaker needed physical contact for it to work as when he returned to confront Biagio in that room with Orosola and Agnese he used his Imagine Breaker from a distance twice.

I really hope Kanzaki gets more screen time along with Accelerator in the coming episodes.

So Touma can get rid of parts of the ship with his hand. I guess all those other times when he touched the walls didn't count when he was sneaking around cause of plot holes. Yay.

Other than that bugging me the arc was ok. The lack of Misaka and the existence of Agnese ruined the experience. But some actual Index screen time and Orsola was nice though.

Touma charges into the room and tells Biagio to at least check if he's dead before leaving. Touma proceeds to hit Biagio once and then ignore him. And this happens every single time, just learn your lesson already and destroy their magic artifacts when you have the chance.

Oh well, looking forward to the punishment game at least.

Knowing how corrupt Academy city really is, I actually liked that Biagio Pope guy for wanting to destroy the city.

From Loli Puncher to Old man puncher. YAY! Touma

Yup, Touma's a pagan monkey. He only believes in saving girls ofc

Waiiiit..... why is it troublesome if other countries poke around in his body? lo Is it because he is a level 0 esper?

Man, could that vilain have been more cartoonish? ''I'MA DESTROY THE ENEMY OF THE CHURCH, THAT MEAN YOU, STUPID MONGRELS! HAHAHAHA!!''
Damn, it was satisfying when Touma punched the shit out of him. I hope he drowned like the little cunt he was.

Anyway, Touma now must face that gage he did with Misaki over the Sport Festival if I remember well. That mean... MORE MISAKA!! :D

Chosen blessings . That is definitely not the way of 'his' teachings .
Such impurity . They can just do peace talk but I think it won't prolong the story .
Behold !! The Right Hand of Justice !! Once again ~ .
Ohh man .. It was just a whole day for MC . C'mon . let him take a break .
Very GREAT Episode ~ !!! Angel-san ~ .

Religion is nonsense and stupid. They believe in superstitious thing that's why I take the side of science :p

Wakamoto voice sure fun to listen to :3

Hyped already for the next episode. I think Toaru will be much better if it concentrates more on comedy rather than serious.

I thought Misaka already used her reward? It seems Touma is in for a date~ I hope.

Touma's harem grows bigger and bigger. Even the sister loli and Kanzaki.

That bishop or whatever he is spits out words of destruction with his mouth and holy weapons. Hated the speeches he did; barely followed it as they were super long. Low blow using his spell like that to kick people who are down..

Thought Touma was dead due to the blood in the pile of crosses. Apparently he got out just fine. So what's the punishment he will receive by Misaka?

That lady at the end with the Pope.. creepy.

This anime series looks like an infernal circle, it never ends the fight to destroy the academic city. Sometimes Touma makes me nervous with his speeches and with the fact of solving everything thanks to the strength of his right arm, maybe a couple of punches were enough to solve the problems, LOL. The cliffhanger puts a lot of anxiety.

The antagonist was kinda boring this time around, just your typical crazy guy. Also I still think it's amazing how often they can make Touma win in the exact same way like always.
