THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Archangel Gabriel reminds me of the time of video game boss that only the best can take down. At least they got Kazakiri Hyouka taking care of the problem. Accelerator also with the wings!

Fiamma is also pushing the limits of his agenda here. I almost feel bad for Acqua to go up against such odds.

Well i mean it was decent, kinda, and just the whole point that it tries to be decent, nothing more ... The ending transitions were random. Don't remember Accel and Hyoka were fighting together.

The animation is horrible and the story doesn't make sense, whatever.

I'm hype for Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator, some people said the manga is bad. But I hope the anime is great.

Kazakiri Hyouka and Accelerator fighting together was nice to see.

The production team took a few steps forward with the quality for last week's episode, but sadly, they took just as many steps backwards with this episode. The sound quality wasn't in sync with some of the attacks that made it look very amateurish. Same goes for some of the animations and character drawings in a few scenes too. =/

Still, seeing Hyouka and Accelerator working together in their battle against the archangel was good. Same with Acqua, who took a heavy hit himself in order to change the tide of that battle.

Other than that, the episode still needs more Misaka, though. She and the Misaka clone have to make do with small scenes for the last three or so episodes so I hope that they'll get more screentime next week. =3

The director for that is the same director that made Big Order, a complete garbage of a show.

So abandon all hope, for the abyss that is JC promises nothing but despair.

I do not know why people are so disappointed if this season was foreseen to be trash, Jc staff does not specialize in series of action, the director is a comedy specialist, they were not going to give him enough budget for good animation.

I find it funny that JC Staff just called Kamachi a fraud for making hard to animate fight scenes when really they had no control over his light novels.

This whole series is an absolute Trainwreck. I don't care what the LN fanboys say it's hard to understand what's happening and characters just pop up for no reason. I had high hopes for index season 3 but they'd been absolutely destroyed honestly this is the worst show JC Staff have done since Taboo Tattoo.

I said I have low expectations before I saw how rushed it was. Hey look this adaptation could be better for NT to continue the story which I think is a excuse. Just face it this series is going to die.

Forgpt about how accurate the story was handle compared to LN, forgot about that Russian solider scenes was skipped here, the art/animation quality in this episode is so bad and somehow it's even worst than pre-EP10 Index III episodes. Not to mention the way the Gabriel fight was handled is even worst than the Acqua vs Amakusa members fight, even Accelerator vs Kakine fight was far better than this sh*t. Just f**k you Nishikiori or whoever directed this episode.

Some of Gabriel's scenes was laughable with that low-quality art/animation:

Hmm Hyoka huh quite the unusual reinforcement for Touma. Its nice that all the conflicts are starting to link well with each other as the conflict reaches its end point. The enemy though sure has an impressive array of attacks that never ceases to amaze me. Still that attack sure ended up creating some interesting team ups and moments. Its good that Acqua did not choose to bite the dust there Hamazura's words sure proved to be an effective shot. Looks like the conflict is fast approaching the end. Im curious to see just what else Fiamma has planned though.

I will quote Hiroyuki Yoshino (the person who begged for 26 episodes and only member of the directing team who knows how badly and impossible Kadokawa's demands are).

This came from his recent interview on New Type.

"The only mandatory directory from Kadokawa is to finish all of OT and draw a conclusion for the series."

We are not getting NT anime, which is great!! Cause that mean I don't need to consider suicide bombing Kadokawa.

As far as Kadokawa is concerned, Index is over, they are going to milk the blood from the cow with a badly made mobage one last time.

Delusional fucks they are if they think the fans would play a shitty mobage.

Well you be laughing if you see how bad the animation for OPM 2 PV is like! JC Staff deserves the hate and so as the production committee. I`m glad I expected this when JC Staff destroy this series. Not interested in the anime anymore or a reboot because its impossible now.

Index New Testament and Index Old Testament are two different series if we're talking about how Kadokawa sees it, that's also why they have two different listings on the polls and such.

Nah, can't watch that show and its already ruined. My hope is that never plan a NT anime adaptation. Kadokawa are not interested with it. Don't expect anything big from the studio because no one cares for the adaptation anymore. Nagai doesn't seem to know the context of the light novel series because he did the manga which is easy for a director. A light novel is different because you will need to visualise everything and even with Kamachis narrative writing. I have no hope for this series but keep me in mind if it's getting a good studio with a good director who knows how to adapt a light novel series.

The only news I really know of is that the game is more liked and making money now than it was before due to various reasons like implementation of certain character and responding to feedback. But the developer is different, before it was Tsuchi and now it's Accelerator (they all go by actual character names).

But remember that Chinese fans for games are pretty fickle, just look at the Koei games on steam if you get what I mean, since the overhaul which was met with either good thoughts or bad thoughts the game got around fine.

Right now theres another big update next week that adds Fiamma as a player character among other things

Seriously a Index Mobage?! That's basically Seppuku, there is no way an index mobage can survive in the current climate, and with Netease creating it, impossible.

Honkai Impact 3, Azur Lane, GFL and FGO pick corpses the size of index mobage out of their teeth everyday, unless a literal miracle happen, and all other mobage spontaneously drop dead...

Than Arkknight becomes the next big thing.

We all can agree that Nagai's fillers in Railgun anime was awful but as far as I know, Kamachi never shown his opinion on Nagai so we don't know if Kamachi really hate him or not.

You also have to remember that Nagai will gonna directing Railgun III as well, so that alone to made that hate statement less legit or else Nagai is already fired from Railgun projects for a long time ago. I know the authors have no control when comes to adaptation but he can still make a statement about what he thought about the anime (Like Akira Toriyama bashing Dragon Ball Super anime have a bad animations).

Weren't Square Enix is the one that developing the mobage rather than Netease? I do agreed what has shown for that game so far was underwhelm (Even more so than Index MMO).
