| Anyone know the name of the song that was played before the opening in this first episode? Its the first scene of him being chased down by the thugs, after a satelite zoom in. |

| Hmm... Seems like an interesting series. Nice beginning, I have to say. Not one boring moment. And the animation is really, really nice. o_o Plus the main character himself is interesting - a guy who's supposedly born unfortunate because of his hand? The setting is pretty intriguing too. :D Definitely will keep watching this. His teacher was annoying though... |

 |
| So I'm starting this, planning the whole program. It started pretty good. |
| Not a bad first episode. I'm hopping into this after watching Railgun, so I'm a little caught up and a little ignorant at the same time. Biribiri sure is different in this one though. The "loli stripping" scene made the episode for me. It works, oh yeah, it works!  |
 |
| lol this is a really good first episode. Index is rather moe, the girl is random, he is a slob. Im liking this :) |
     |
| Finally decided to start watching this after many recommendations and the fact season 2 is still running, and I must say I'm not disappointed. Likable characters and a nice setting make for an interesting series. Not to mention an amazing OP which I recognized immediately, despite the fact that I have never watched a single episode. This should get me through my 1 week of vacation easily! =) |

| pretty exiting episode... |
| Fukou da... |
| i'm loving this series. it seems very interesting, i actually watched this 1st spisode twice. index is sooooo adorable flaskis said: Not so much to say about the episode except that it was a good start. Index melted my heart just after a few moment, and her line just as she left: "will you follow me to the very ends of hell?" was just <3<3<3 this |
     |
| I've heard a lot about this anime, so thought I'd check it out ... it seems pretty fun so far, though the main character is the 'doormat' trope that I so despise. From what I hear tho he doesn't remain at the not-so-tender mercies of the girls too long, he actually starts fighting back. With punches to the face ;) Index is HAWT O_o WTF is with the loli teacher? I lol'ed at the lolicon classmate. Being both hot for teacher AND a pedo at the same time ... I guess that is kinda the premise of Negima, isn't it? :P 3/5, hopefully it'll feel less generic as it goes along. |
| wow index and mikoto were great, I think I'm really gonna dig this show! |
| Came here from finishing Railgun, so it was a bit nostalgic to see Biribiri again. Hopefully this show will be better than the previous one (which I almost dropped), it certainly looks so. |
 |
| How come Toma has his own dormitory? Is he even old enough to own his own dormitory? Where is his family or relatives in that case? How can he afford to support himself with no job or money? Seriously, there’s no explanation to any of this. |
| Never go full retard |
| THIS is DAMN good. EXCITING 1st episode :D Having watched Railgun and knowing the background story, I am pleased to see the Full action here! Index is sooo cuteeeeeee, and Misaka is awesome!!! Touma is the cool boy. hilarious he got that bad luck. His right hand negating special powers and his own good luck haha. I know here that I gonna see some more Touma, Misaka, Index moments :DDD |

| Hey, that was actually pretty good. I must be stupid for putting of this series for so long. I'm already liking the MC Touma and of course Index and Mikoto (birbiri ftw ^^) The school/academy factor is a major bonus for me as well. Loli sensei! Also, the whole theme of Magic and Science is interesting, the MC has a pretty unique ability and I love lightning (biribiri), so I'm already won over. Just give me some flames (red-head mage seems the type) and a swordsman and I'm.... (looks at Kanzaki, wait, takes a second look)... yep, I'm good :). I've also heard some insane rumours of Accelerator, really looking forward to when he shows up. A serious tone is already set with that final scene too... let's see where this goes. (Someone better save Index-chan or else... ^^) |
 |
| Re-watching this in preparation for the second season. Anyway, it was a pretty decent episode. I guess Mikoto stands out the most so far...and I really can't say much else. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| A nice interesting start, with supernatural and magical powers, concept already starts quite nicely and also a bit of humor. It seems I'm going to love this show! |
 |
| Well done, right from the start it pulled me in. The bad luck happening one after the other was very realistic, don't ask me how I know this. In almost all harem anime they try too hard not to make the guy too specific resulting in a bland character that I just cant identify with. I hope I'm not speaking too soon and that I don't end up jinxing it, but so far I like this show. |
| I like Hentai, you like real life. Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me. |
| I like it so far. It is COMPLETELY different than how I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be a light series, I wasn't expecting it to be so violent, but oh well, it's pretty good. |

| My dick literally exploded. |
 |
| pretty good so far, let's see if they can keep it up. watching this and railgun simultaneously (alternating episodes). i like index more so far. |
| Whow, this is better than what I expected. It seems to have a lot of potential! |
  |
| started watching this after catching up on railgun |
| Interesting. I wonder what Touma has in store, since he seems more powerful than he lets on :) And what happened to Index? O-O |
 |
| nice episode.. that guy really has bad luck lol XD the phone.. the phonee!! XD and misaka whew :3 aggresive like always :3 index in the end "INDEXXX!!!" :" |
| Haha, looks good. Great first episode, it caught my interest already. 5/5 |
 |
| where can i watch this series in HD? |
 |
| Finally got to start this after reading what S1 & S2 covered of the novels. Kamijou sounds different from what I imagined.And surprisingly Index wasn't as annoying as I expected her to be (see as who she was voiced by). Either way can't wait to see more. |
| Happy to se Touma again,and this time he is the main character :D What a cute loli Index is :3 Biri-Biri is back again xD She was quite gross at the beginning,but as always she just want to fight with Touma. Index is heavily injured :/ I hope everything is ok,and i already hate that guy with earrings. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Well, the show hold a good premise. The story can be good, I just hope it doesn't turn into a ''friendship power!'' shounen. I always have mixed feelings about J.C. Staff animation. It always look too... bland. I think it's the color palette. It always look so colorless. I don't mean that it have to be Gurren Lagann color craziness, but maybe a little more lively. Anyway, the characters look great for now. Touma is so unlucky that I can't do anything but to believe what Index said, that his hand nullify his luck. Index is a weird character. I mean she's not a tsundere, she's more just an arrogant type, but an arrogant naive type. They are less violent generally. Can't tell for now, but I'm sure that Misaka is a tsundere. I don't know why, I just feel it :P |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| Pretty good. I like it more than Railgun so far. I also don't get the hate on Index (maybe she'll be a bitch later). Kuroko in the preview, yay. |
| As a person who hates lollies, this made me cringe. I literally only watched this cause Accelerator looked like my type of character. I'm starting to think that I will drop this anime before i even get to see him in action. |
| What's the right order of watching this? im confused is To Aru Majutsu no Index the first one? |

| Good Episode! ;) |

| It must be fun having a loli teacher.. |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| Finally ventured into Index series. Let's see how this goes for me. Looks like a standard shounen though. |
 |
| Interesting |
| I haven't watched the whole series yet but I don't quite get why Index instantly reveals that she is carrying grimoires and is related to magic while she is tasked with guarding the information. She even says in the 3rd episode even knowing about magic would be bad for humanity. Why does she so freely divulge the information to Kamijou in the 1st episode? Is it just child-like naivete, or does she have actual reasons that are explained later on? |
| Visuals are so prettyyyyyy I've watched Railgun (both seasons) already so I have an idea who Misaka is as well as Touma. It's interesting so far. Happy to hear Abe Atsushi voicing him! Even better, he's using his abu abu abu voice here too~ |
| Well this looks interesting |
 |
| My first reaction seeing a girl hanging on the railing would be panic then rush to help her, unlike the mc who merely started a casual conversation with her. And, how could he not see the blood on her back when he neared her, and only AFTER he touched her did he realize that his hand and her back is SOAKED in blood!??? |
| Plot, Background, Settings. Everything is perfect in my opinion. Epic way to start a first episode. The problem is to maintain this greatness throughout whole series. Seven Level 5 espers. Interesting. MC right hand is very useful. He broke the absolute defense of Index, LOL. LOLi Teacher, LOL. I liked the fact that most of the city consist of schools with super power abilities. |
 |
| Finally got time to start watching this series |
 |
| I'll be honest and admit right off the bat that I only got interested in this series because I wanted to see Accelerator, and not because I thought the series looked cool or anything. But I was pleasantly surprised. I'm enjoying the story itself. I like the visuals, the characters look promising...I'm interested to see where this is going to go. |

| Well... that is interesting. I honestly didn't expect that Misaka Mikoto as a supporting character, while I know this series from her. The prologue scene was cool. And there's loli everywhere... |
