Oh geez, they jumped the gun with the ero maid jokes. Now even Itsuwa is conscious about it.

There's also Misaka who seems to be more conscious than ever about Touma lol. Poor Touma, I guess he can't even get on airplanes without facing some trouble on-board. I actually feel bad for him. Looks like we got some terrorist drama aboard Sky Bus 365.

Touma with his usual heroism though.

Probably the best episode so far simply because of the minimal amount of shit scenes along with nice pacing from the last arc.

Really sad that some stuff wasn't spot on like how Touma beat the pilot with an iron bar or showing that he was really angry and wanted to beat the shit out of that terrorist. Anyway, still good episode overall with decent pace.

Well not that bad most likely not much room to make it bad. Don't really remember this part of the volume, didn't leave much impression on me.
Mikoto's moment, she's getting really close being aware of something, so cute! And the season also should somehow sell =/
Like NL's VA, more cute girls ... Preview of Royal family, liked the designs already from OP.

Misaka was so cute :D

I'm kinda lost about that plane tho:
- terrorist wanted to destroy it but still waited for his buddy just to be sure, while that buddy could easily do it alone with granade?
- the bishop girl wanted to force emergency landing so avoid casualities when terrorists succeed?
- Stiyl was there to save situation after first plan failed? Why didn't he go in the first place?
I feel like I'm missing something...

It seems we get 4 new waifus next week! Hopefully at least one will join harem.

Interesting episode. It was amusing seeing Itsuwa look up long distance relationships. So thats what Kanzaki looked like in that maid outfit lol. It was cute seeing Misaka act so flustered. To think that Touma and Index will be dragged into a hostage situation though. Only the archbishop can say such horrible things while still smiling lol. Still Touma's way of dealing with the terrorists while a rash sure was surprisingly creative. Looks like things are getting interesting again in Britain. Hope they will able to maintain the pacing they had in the Acqua arc in this new arc.

The more 'normal' the opponent is, the harder it is for him. He has the perfect counter to spells and esper powers, but he can't do anything about regular weaponry and against someone who's physically stronger he's pretty much screwed, like it's the case against Saints.

Misaka's reactions always put a big smile on my face. The way she got all flustered and produced an uncontrollable amount of electricity because of her flustered and embarrassed mood was really cute. =3

Same goes for Index and her constant hammering of the in-flight meal of beef or fish. Sadly for her, the food never came as she and Toma got caught up in a terrorist plot to crash the plane.

Despite the rather unhelpfulness of the steward and captain, at least Toma got some time to shine as he physically battered the first terrorist with his fist. The second one proved to be a tough match, but Stiyl came along to give Toma and big help.

Now there's four girls, travelling in a OAP friendly Suzuki Wagon R, determined to screw up Britain. It's easy to dismiss that plan of theirs already, but I know that they'll be another tough group that has to be dealt with soon enough.

All in all, this was a really good episode, and one where the art quality was pretty good this time.

Good episode!

Misaka's nervous moment was really cute! Now she is conscious of how she feels for Touma!

Index without uniform is too much adorable!

Good work from Touma in plane, poor Touma, always problems where he is!

Curious to meet the four girls showed in last part of episode!

Itsuwa is so adorable in that first scene, seems she wants to do everything to steal Touma's heart..

Ah good to see London in animation again. Gotta love how international this anime goes, as an anime only viewer, things like hearing the Eurotunnel being mentioned is nice..

Misaka being the Tsundere she is.... That scene was awesome.

Interesting episode overall, whit everything happening on board a skybus. Touma is back punching people in the face!

So another group gets introduced, they all look a bit odd, long nails, a tail and who knows what else XD

I'm honestly surprised how much leeway people are still giving to Index. I only want her to fall off the plane never ever to be seen or heard of again. It would improve the rating by a full point and have no impact on the story whatsoever.

Seriously, I find her completely insufferable by now.

Strange, why would you think that? Kamachi is one of the LN authors who most apathetic to romance in the industry.

He had a character sprout 3-4 page speech about how retard romance is and that only hip thrusting animals do it, then proceed to sink every romantic relationship for one of his MC, then have another MC and the "Female Lead" try to murder each other seriously due to him giving the most brutal "Fuck off bitch, I'm not interested" in LN history.

Pretty sure that every "harem girl" you think of have betrayed Touma and attempted murder on him down the line.

I guess all of non-Japanese Toaru characters are fluent in Japanese.. If I remember correctly, there was a scene from a past season (not sure S1 or S2) stating that these foreigners are speaking in Japanese due to Japaneses (like Touma) being present.. Then why the hell the archbishop of the Puritan Church and the Knight Leader having a conversation in Japanese when there is not a single Japanese on site?


They at least cut that BS scene from LN where hot coffee spill making gun not shootable due to thermal expansion, so I guess that's good

"every non-Japanese" and "every anime" are quite unfair terms... Because I've watched some anime where these characters speak in other languages

But anyway, yeah I know what you are talking about... Even number of high budget Hollywood movies are doing the same thing, so I guess I should not expect this from comparatively low budget anime...
