Index antics right off the bat, heh.
Followed by Kuroko's spotlight! Her VA is as entertaining as always.
No problems with the graphics this time imo, and the new bgm parts were fine (though not too noticable).
This episode pretty much covered everything I'd like to see.
Mikoto, Kuroko, Uiharu, woooohoooo Last Order and Accelerator, including Yoshikawa.
Nice intermingling Kuroko with incidents related to Mikoto's previous arc.
I love Awaki. I love Awaki.
The teleport stuff is really exciting, and zomg Misaka imouto in the end...
More action to come next episode. >:3
10/10 for having all Misakas appear this time around

Spoiler:
- Accelerator looked so tsundere this episode .
- The part with Kuroko's exagerations with the underwear was kinde unnecessary.
- LOL at Misaka Imouto fanservice :P.
- Awai's voice actress has satisfied me.
- The part with Kuroko's exagerations with the underwear was kinde unnecessary.
Spoiler:
The problem is they rush this arc in a bad way, focus on many unnecessary scene while some great scene and indepth details was removed such as
-The scene where LO talk about how she didn't lost her memory and also said what was Accelerator said to her back then.
-The result of the first showdown with Awaki which show the totally beatup Kuroko.
+Etc
While they waste a time with the bathroom and shopping scene around the beginning.
What's the point of making an exaggerate scene of Kuroko teleport from roof to roof instead of a normal road like it was in the novel?
Well at least they make Awaki's scenes great and also the BGM.
LO playing with Accel and Imouto's total rear view. Though I was disappointed with I didn't get to see Awaki torture Kuroko and the bystanders that's been watching the fight between Mikoto and Awaki aren't present. The bluff of Awaki shouldn't have worked there because their is no bystanders. Even if Awaki's range is insane huge the bystanders that's been watching the fight shouldn't be removed. Because it force Mikoto's choice not to attack reasonable.

Spoiler for .:
1. I'm expecting this scene to be shown the next episode.
2. Agree.
3. A real waste.
4. IMO, the studio wanted to show the scenary or they did it on purpose to match the time Kuroko spend talking.
5. At least she has a nice BGM .
If the next episode doesn't fix the skipped details from this episode this arc will fail.
-yay Sphynx screentime right in the beginning
-agreed with focusing on not so necessary things... the fights were then rushed and with the necessary talking in... it`s pretty bad being bound by a limit of two episodes (/_T)
-bad, BAD idea cutting out Accel`s and LO`s conversation...:< I mean, really? isn`t that some of the more important information? now I don`t even know, if I shouldn`t be uber happy that they didn`t cut the scene completely... ah well, that wouldn`t happen from the fanservice reasons at least
-is it me or Accel`s voice sounds deeper...
-yessss Awaki. Harumi Sakurai fits her
-yessss all the Misakas (so far XD)
Rushed to all hell. They're seriously going to resolve everything in this arc with just 2 episodes? Really bad decision there. The bare minimum any novel has gotten was at least 3 episodes, and those were the most rushed arcs. This was just a disjointed mess. I suppose if I hadn't read the novels way back I wouldn't be feeling it as much, but it should still feel flat to firsttimers. So much detail lost. Seriously disappointed.
I guess as someone who hasn't read its respective volume, it's already a big plus in general for me because while the episode feels fast, I don't feel anything was lost or disjointed.
In actuality I find this arc better organized than the last one, though I can imagine if they gave Move Point one more episode it would be even better than I think it already is.
edit:
Thought I'd reread the LN since the last time I checked it out was a while ago and there wasn't too much translated yet (for example Volume 8).
From what I see it's better to wait till this season's done and then start reading, that's that!
havent readed the novel but i really loved this episode, i dont know if they ommited a lot but they executed the episode well, it had that sense of suspense that i loved from first season, and kuroko when shes serious she relly becomes one of the best characters in the series, i dont give this episode a 10 cuz i see what i feared a shota/moe-fication of accelerator...
This episode felt really rushed. The flow of the story is not smooth and the keep on jumping from scene to scene. It would be better if the cut the index scene.
I didn't watch the episode yet, but from a looks of it, A CERTAIN SCENE I WAS PRAYING FOR JC STAFF TO ADAPT WELL FORGOT A CERTAIN IMPORTANT PART THAT DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO EPISODE 20 OF THE FIRST SEASON:
Spoiler for volume 8 space and point:
In the hospital, there is a bathroom that’s for patients use.
The P.E. teacher clad in green sportswear attire, Yomikawa Aiho’s back is leaning on the bathroom door. She has a beautiful face and glamourous body, the apparel can be said to spoil it. Especially her wonderful breasts that give off an inexplicable mature charm even if they are suppressed by her sports attire. She herself doesn’t seem aware of her beautiful appearance, but this naďve character causes people to go even more ga-ga over her.
(Sigh, that Kikyo, finding trouble for me again.)
Yomikawa thinks of that female researcher, her old friend, who is now hospitalized, and sighs. The researcher isn’t completely out of the woods yet, so Yomikawa was only allowed to visit her once. At that point, the female researcher immediately asked Yomikawa to take care of the two children, and after saying that, lost consciousness, which gives no chance for Yomikawa to inquire further, nor any right to refuse.
The ones that need to be cared for are two children with special abilities.
The sounds of the children are coming out from the other side of the door, or inside the bathroom.
“Walawalawala! Misaka Misaka is making splashes in this narrow bathtub. Using Misaka Misaka’s petite body, any place can become an indoor entertainment facility, Misaka Misaka thinks of this new concept.”
“Cheh…the hot water has gotten on me…! STOP SWIMMING AROUND IN THIS BATHTUB, YOU!”
“It’s too bad that you can’t ‘auto-reflect’, Misaka Misaka reveals a pitiful expression. Come to think of it, the strongest ESPer is about to cry just because shampoo got into his eyes, Misaka Misaka finds it strange.”
“It’s not that I can’t use ‘auto-reflect’ completely. Though I have to use your network to do the calculations, this is really embarrassing. But if I have to use ‘auto-reflect’ in the bathroom, can I even bathe? Also…I’m not going to cry! Getting shampoo in my eyes won’t hurt, it’s just that I never felt this before!”
“Walawalawala—”
“YOMIKAWA—! I CAN’T STAND THIS BRAT’S WATER KICKS—!”
Being dragged into the conversation so suddenly, Yomikawa frowns.
“That won’t do. There’s the possibility that the kid will drown in the bathroom, there must be someone to take care of her-jan.”
“THEN WHY AREN’T YOU PROTECTING HER!”
“That won’t do. I’ll be soaked if I bathe that naughty kid. Oh yeah, you haven’t bathed in quite a while, got to scrub yourself cleanly-jan.”
“Damn it…why is it that no one will listen to me properly!”
“Don’t be agitated, don’t be agitated, Misaka Misaka comforts you. Misaka Misaka knows that you’re embarrassed, but Misaka Misaka is wrapped in a towel; the atmosphere will be even awkward if you’re mindful of it, Misaka Misaka recommends as a lifetime elder.”
“Thank you very much, let me reward you with a water column.”
“Wah! This sudden attack scares Misaka Misaka, how unforgivable! Before summer vacation ended, you risked your life to protect Misaka, Misaka Misaka protests with a pale face!”
“What…oi, wait.”
“When Misaka Misaka was hit with the virus code, you were so gentle, and now you’re treating Misaka Misaka like this. Don’t tell me you got tired of Misaka Misaka? Misaka Misaka trembles in fright at the thought of this possibility!”
“…Ah? What did you say…? Virus code…?”
“Oh no! Misaka Misaka immediately covers her mouth!”
“Oh your head! How on earth did you remember what happened that day?”
“About that…Misaka Misaka scratches her cheek with her forefinger.”
“Didn’t I delete away your memories when I was deleting the virus code in your brain?”
“Misaka 10032 to Misaka 20000 have a common memory through the network, Misaka Misaka honestly testifies.”
“…Oh?”
“Basically, even if a Misaka loses memory, there are many backups that can be duplicated, so there is no problem at all, Misaka Misaka sticks her tongue out as she acts cute. Though Misaka lost her memory, she can regain her memory through the brains of the other Misakas. Misaka Misaka tries many postures to appease your anger.”
“So that means…you also remembered what I said that day…?”
“"That’s right, I killed over 10,000 of the Imoutos, but this doesn’t mean that I should just leave the remaining 10,000 to die. I know that these words are hypocritical, I know that I have no right to say such words, no matter how much of a scum bag we are. No matter now many excuses we put forward, those can't be the reasons to kill this brat!"…ahh, on thinking back at this, Misaka Misaka is touched to tears.”
“I’m gonna kill you…I’M GONNA KILL YOU, BRAT!”
“That won’t do, my friend has already asked me to take care of you, so you guys better not cause me any trouble.”
From the outside, Yomikawa hears the duo attacking each other with bathwater, and shouts. The doctor that looks like a frog once said that ‘taking care of these two kids is a real challenge’, but right now, there isn’t anything that’s worth noting.
There seems to be no need for her to look out for them, and so she can head back to work.
Yomikawa sighs, her back leaving the door, and says,
“You two, nee-chan is going to settle some Anti-Skill stuff, stop quarreling. Wait for me here obediently; I’ll treat both of you with goodies-jan.”
“Okay— Misaka Misaka uses her sure-kill water kicks to whip up large amounts of water as she answers.”
“YOU BRAT!”
Yomikawa Aiho hears the roaring continue behind her, carries the large sports bag that’s placed beside her foot on her shoulder, and leaves the hospital.
Her eyes are now abnormally sharp.
There is standard Anti-Skill equipment inside her bag.
After Yomikawa left, both of them, who have used up all the resources in the bathtub, finally reached a truce.
“Damn it, the water’s now only at knee level…”
“Though there’s not enough water to kick, Misaka Misaka will not give up, and will use all sorts of methods to accomplish her aim.”
“Please stop kicking the water. Did you forget that I’m still severely injured?”
“Come to think of it, your hair grows really fast, there’s no sign of any operation scars, Misaka Misaka is impressed. Using the electric signals inside the human body to promote hair growth, that’s foul play, Misaka Misaka can’t help but be enthusiastic about the wonders of the human body.”
“No matter how impressive it is, it can’t grow back the scars on the cranium!”
“If Yomikawa knows how Misaka Misaka wastes so much water, she’ll immediately start scolding, Misaka Misaka can’t help but shudder in fear. Luckily, Yomikawa won’t be coming back to the hospital today, making Misaka Misaka feel relieved.”
“What? What did she say to you?”
“About this, didn’t Misaka Misaka hear that from Yomikawa herself—”

Disappoint.
really, if they won`t stuff it in the next ep I`ll seriously hate them
I enjoyed this episode. The pace is about what I expected considering this arc will be two episodes. I feel the pacing flowed pretty well, spending just enough time on each scene to get the main points across before moving one. I'm looking forward to next week to see the finale.
Lovely, simply lovely. Though, the girls were looking a little fuller than I remember, but judging from all the breasts in the opening, I shouldn't really be surprised.
Kuroko needs her own spin-off. She's really just too awesome.
