To Aru Majutsu no Index - Episode 19 Discussion / Poll

[Spectacular_Insanity]

Interesting. Now we get to see Accelerator as an actual person. I was quite surprised that he's trying to take the "good guy" route. He seemed like the selfish type when we first saw him, but now he seems like a protagonist? Frankly I don't get it. But still, entertaining as hell.

9/10

[Bordix]

It's a joke. And not directed at you either. So chill out if I offended you

I just misunderstood then and I wasn't offended.. uhm more like surprised/indisbelief.

btw, If the sisters do go berserk they can't hurt anybody since, I recalled Misaka said that they were all out of academy city.

[Sorrow-K]

I didn't much care for loli Misaka's speech patterns. MISAKA's speech patterns were annoying enough, but loli Misaka repeating "Misaka says" twice every time she spoke was really offputting.

Her attempts at amateur psychiatry on Accelerator were interesting. As KaneDragon points out, he's pretty much a good guy now.

[Mentar]

Amen to what Sorrow-K said.

Somehow the show tries to use strange schticks of speaking patterns when it comes to the characters. For example the adverb talk ("Coincidentally, blah. Naturally, blah.") from Izzard, to the MISAKA third-person talk from Misaka Imouto... and now Last Order is topping it off. I can say that it made our translator truly _mad_ about it, and it's irritating to me too.

I mean, isn't a loli clad in a cloak weird enough? Do we NEED this annoying speaking habit? RRR.

On the plus side, she was moe and funny at the same time. Particularly her "Yay! Immediate a
nswer, immediate rejection, big fat no!" act was hilarious (and made for a funny animated avatar). And what a name... "Last Order", like the last drink ordered in a British pub before closing time.

Looking forward to some more cheekiness of the latest loli!

[DragoZERO]

I thought the MISAKA third person was funny but this time it really was annoying with her doing it twice. I hope they fix that when they save her. A nice version patch for all of them would be nice, lol.

Lol, Speech Patch Ver. 1.1.

E-X-A-C-T-L-Y why they are dangerous.

It's one of the author's hobbies, I guess. Kind of like how the author likes using cool English words here and there.

[Cinocard]

It's both quality, and quantity.

It truly irritates me, those Misaka clones. Misaka, shaddup, Misaka. Truly, this show talks too much, and pretty much more than half of the dialogue is nearly intolerable.

If not because of that, Accelerator skin, and Index version 2 in Ep 16, I may even give this show a 8

And not for the next Ep either.

That's because it takes place on the same day that Touma pretends to be Misaka's boyfriend for a bit and fight the other guy. Overhearing Index shouting at Touma was supposed to tell us that.

[Master Assassin]

After thinking something about this episode I just realized something...

In all honesty, if Accelerator becomes a protagonist after this, his attitude will be my favorite ever.

[Wandering_Youth]

Heh, I have to agree with most in here that loli Misaka is really annoying. Imouto Misaka was actually kind of interesting because she speaks in a slower and clearer tone, but loli Misaka is just plain pain on the ears.

[kk2extreme]

accelerator = vegeta (dbz)

[Bordix]

E-X-A-C-T-L-Y why they are dangerous.

gaahh, I forgot that academy city is a secret thing and outside of it are the normal ones.

accelerator = vegeta (dbz)

Unlike Vegeta, Accelerator doesn't go all pursuing/getting revenge from the guy who beat him up like crap. Pretty much like what chaos2frozen said.

[DragoZERO]

I don't see how this can be a 24 episode series. There isn't any real overall plot line that needs conclusion and its been made up of mini-arcs that resolve themselves without affecting the overall story.

Your point?


(And I have to point out that the results of saving both Index and Misaka have an strong effect on both magic and science world.)

Actually there is a point for all of these stories.

Spoiler for Suspected Future plot:

Think about it, this city was founded by Aleister Crowley, the greatest magician of the 20th century. He could have made his own Hogwarts academy but instead cretead a city to study and create psychics.
The city was taking drastic measure to create the first Level 6 and for what reason too?

Aleister is up to something if he's creating a new generation of psychics with different types of powers you never imagine before. He could be starting a war against the magical, religious & other organizations. There's also the Christian churches. Even though they have a truce with the Science side, they have at least sent their agents to Academy city for some reason too.

With the formation of the Kamijyou Forces consiting of Psychics and Mages lead by a boy who can nullify all types of powers, Both sides might see this as Aleister breaking the truce he made with them which may lead to a threeway conflict between the Psychics, Mages and The Kamijyou forces.

Even if you say that, there are quite a number of series like that. Like ToLoveRu and such.

8/10

Enjoyable episode, far from being a masterpiece. It's a 'you like these characters? another story w/ 'em for you guys!' stuff.

Really like Last Order, even with the MISAKA [with echo] way-of-talk [yes, it's 'kinda' annoying]. And Accelerator... Yeah, serenade_beta is right, but it's an anime and I personally pardoned him.

Touma? Index? They don't really matter, IMO, in this series - especially the nun.

Based in your point, Haruhi series should only have the six main episodes. Just one example.

[DragoZERO]

I'm just saying is all. This feels like a series that would have an overall story line with a goal at the end which would conclude the story.

Then you guys are nuts! Loli Misaka is soooo adorable, it makes me want to hug her, and kiss her, and love her to bits.

Decent episode. It's kinda funny how those thugs think they can beat Acc(wtf IS his real name? Yes you may spoil me if its not relevent to a future plot). I wonder just how much Touma has made an impression on the city. Anyway, getting back on topic, Omni from RC said it best, it really reminds me of Rin and Sesshoumaru, and how enjoyable it is to see them together, despite the fact that Rin really does absolutely nothing for most of the show.

Also, at the end, he got the device to kill Last Order right? Just making sure, since it didn't clarify which item did what.
