the final 5 minutes are worth over 10 points or might be worth watching than some crazy nuns but Agnese is one of my favorite character but the 15 min + is just so fun to watch

Finally some good use after finally fixing the damn computer. Though even if it's fix school resumes and kills my time...... great, I just love it when it steals all my time.

[Nightengale]

The first 5 minutes wasn't exactly the best presentation possible... but the entire thing after that was definitely good.

Spoiler:

For what was supposed to be a 'we're in a pinch, let's barricade ourselves scene', it definitely lacked the punch for the first few minutes. There should had been at least an impression that the nuns were continuously breaking down the door, and that they were pressed for time.

The Touma-Agnese fight was pretty nice though. Good effects overall, and doesn't shy away too much from giving Touma his beating, though I would had liked some more blood splatter after last episode's larger amount of bleeding. The stop-points during the fight wasn't too jarring, and the timing was pretty decent all-around.

The final fight scene was the winner though. Appropriate musical score, well-timed storyboarding and the extra treat of the cigarette scene => punch was nice. And as usual, Touma goes to the hospital... again.

The Kanzaki scene is pretty self-explanatory. Though it was Touma being Touma as usual, I reasonably thought his VA performed quite well during the scene when he talked about 'enemies during circumstances alone.' It had a feeling of direct honesty, which is amplified by how Kanzaki seems at ease at how Touma presented his feelings.

The last part with Stiyl/Laura was also nice. The 'evil woman with a nice smile' thing was present.

The arc wasn't all that interesting due to its less-than-stellar middle episodes, but the last episode definitely raised the peak up a bit. Science time next week.

[tsunade666]

railgun fans would probably rejoice for next week episode. And I got to agree on

Spoiler:

it definitely lack blood or even wound. JC staff present great blood on other scene but no bloody scene for Touma even though he should be. It adds the on impact and GAR level. The scene of flashback of Agnese. It looks like a foreshadowing specially when Touma said if Agnese ask for help he would help her. And shy and blushing Kaori is just a winner. The part 5 or so minutes totally lacks something. The sound of the nuns forcing through are also stop when Orsola and Index are talking about the book of law. The new look of Innocentius sure is amazing plus the final scene is great really great. I love the ambiance of the fiery background the the FALCON PUNCH!!!!!! really is just freaking awesome.

I can see people complaining about that already.

And I would have preferred if they included an additional scene to Agnese's past, the one where

Spoiler for Light Novel:

she was feasting from cockroach leftovers or whatever it was again

just for a deeper tragic.

Everything else was fine, not my favourite arc either but hey, the show's just getting better now!
Remnant next episode, wooooooo!!! *drools at awaki*
And maybe Railgun fans will take some joy, too.

[Plant42]

The thing that bugs me the most is that the last moment of Stiyl and Laura scene isn't as awesome+spine chilling as how it should be in the novel.

[BlueDo]

Hahahahaha, someone ended up in the hospital again.
I'm surprised at who the visitor is.

Come on, people will complaining about it if it was the best episode in the world, but this arc was okay, it still gets a 10 in my book.

Sometimes the amount a detail gets discussed is just too much in my book.
Eh, well I didn't mean to complain about any complaints anyway.
It can actually be quite interesting regarding TAMnI specifically.

I'll give the arc a 8/10, and this episode a 7/10.
Like I said, things will just keep getting better so I'll certainly get to all the 10/10's.

[Mazryonh]

I was half-expecting Touma to give Kaori a kiss and ask "Were you lonely"?

Oh well, if the next arc means we get to see more of Itsuwa, it'll be better. I'd like to see how she and Kaori get along once their little problem gets out in the open.

That's quite unlikely if you looked at the preview.

i liked the socond half of the episode the action was great, and the expressions of agnese reminded me of umineko(hurray! for troll faces), the first half lacked the sense of urgency someone barricading should have, they started to talk fully relaxed, and the nuns seemed to stop attacking the door to eavesdrop the conversation.

Maybe they wanted to get info about the Liver Al vel Legis.

I'm so going to enjoy this episode.

[iceyfw]

and touma's falcon punch ends things with a bang as usual. at least he didn't give a two minute speech this time!

or did he?

[Marcus H.]

Ironic that the Agnese knockout scene reminds me of Shana more than anything.

[gaboratamer]

giant Innocentius rock, falcon puch, shy kanzaki, this episode was was a giant load of WIN!!!!!

PD:yeah, Awaki will rock in the next ep
