DID THEY FUCKING SAVED UP THEIR ENTIRE BUDGET FOR THIS OP ?!?!

Holy shit that's the best opening of the entire series!

[Kuroageha]

Not bad but will take a while to get used to the music beat.

IKR? Holy shit that epic

[Mr.Kyon]

well I'm hyped for the rest of this season

[milan kyuubi]

Hype is real!

[Ichinotachi]

Holy shit the opening was amazing! and on top of that finally misaka worst, oh man this arc is pure hype.

[faiz blaster]

For those who are wondering, Misaka Worst’s seiyuu is Ai Kakuma and Elizarina’s is Naomi Shindou.

[Wandering Soul]

Both the OP and the ending to the previous episode do a great job building hype for this arc, despite how the adaption has been so far. I'm cautiously hyped for the rest of this season.

Why is Hamazura barely in the OP despite being the 3rd protagonist? Seriously, they couldn't have shortened that Misaka on jets sequence?

[serenade_beta]

Well, Bilibili Douga did name themselves after Misaka. So I think it is a good thing that they returned the favor by singing Bilibili in the OP.
Bili~Bili~Bili~Bili~Bili~Bili~Bili~

That's the OPs job even if they have to exaggerate or show things that never will happen .

[Shinji103]

Mmm, I’m not feeling the new OP as much as everyone else. It’s more the song than the OP, really. Maybe it’ll grow on me.......

[rladls2121]

So Index, Last Order, and Rikuo are ill.
Index is Fiamma's fault, Last Order is Aleister's fault, and Rikuo is not solely on Shizuri, but I don't know who else to be exactly to be blamed though.

Accelerator will kill Aleister someday.

[Keila]

I know it's meant to be comic relief, but poor Lessar, all of her appeal and none of it hitting its mark.

[alex_drian]

The OP is fucking cool, even if the simulation in my mind with IMMORAL of Mami Kawada in all these years was better. Even so, if I have something similar in spirit to compare it, still isn't in the level of the SnS Final OP2. Also, I have a bit of a problem with Mikoto eating the time of various characters

Spoiler:

And fighting Gabriel instead of Carrisa and MoV, or Touma vs Fiamma or Accelerator

Respect to the episode, is a shame that all the budget went to the OP. The 13km sword,well, in my mind was long, flaming and CGish but well, was fine. And yeah I don't know about politics but if the other countries are going to come with this crap I think that Aleister is in all his right to break their shit.

All his time was given to Mikoto

Spoiler:

That fucking seems is fighting Gabriel, can you believe it? that bastards of JC Staff.

Say it to me, is to built hype but I think the real clashes would be more cool

Spoiler:

Instead of a clear scene of Carrisa and Maiden of Versalles vs Gabriel you fucking have Mikoto fighting what I assume is Gabriel, the actual fuck?

But damn it was to expenses of the rest and even [SPOILER]You-fucking have her fighting Gabriel?[SPOILER]

This isn't the fucking time and moment.

Looks like Hikari has been assigned to Orussia for too long..

[Keila]

Something just occurred to me, does anyone have a 'body-count' (confirmed kills, direct cause) for the 3 males? (Accelerator, Hamazura, Touma)?

Because he isn't. The proper term used in the series is hero NOT protagonist and it isn't just three. If you want to to discuss this go to the LN threads (due to spoilers) and I'll be glad to elaborate more on why the terms used by the fanbase are wrong.

That's sort of true. I'm reminded of the first promotional image for this season which tried to make you believe that Index and Misaka would be prominent figures for the first half of the season.

Accurate numbers? nope but Accel have killed more than those 2 combined, in fact more than everyone, remember that he killed 10031 sisters already.
