Looking forward the Level 5's psycho faces and then the collection will be complete.

Gosh, Mikoto's mental state is in a total mess, if this continues, she would definately end up like other mentally unstable Level 5s.

I am more than satisfied at Mikoto's reaction on 10031's death, thoroughly broken. This show is seriously depressing.

I don't know if I should feel bad if I kinda cheered "Good! Now break (down) more! And feel so helpless!" when Mikoto was going amok in this episode. :heh:

Also, that next episode preview. We're in for a treat this coming two weeks. :D

The initial comments on the raw:

This was great.

Excellent battle scenes with Accelerator and Mikoto.

Mikoto... went Skitzo this episode (hearing voices in her head...) I've been waiting for this all season. This was done amazingly. It was executed perfectly. I am very satisfied. Hope they keep up with their amazing rendition. The one scene with Mikoto's guilt made the whole episode for me. It's a pretty stark contrast to... toddler Mikoto :heh:

The death of MISAKA 10031 was very well done. I feel bad for both her and Touma.

Neither of them know anything about the underside of the city. We saw Touma going to Tokiwadai in order to talk to mikoto at the very end.

Otherwise, the first experiment with MISAKA 1 was fun to watch (well... not the bleeding part).

The graphics were great this episode and the new OST was great once again. The OSTs this season really are good. I liked all of the Touma scenes... well I liked every scene :heh:

The preview looked good as well. I can't wait for next episode... one week again... *sigh*

The episodes feel so short because they are so good. :D

Hope subtitles come out soon (within 17.5 hours)

Guys what was that? I don't remember this in manga.

Misaka's "hair pin" the one she wears on the right side of her head

Heh thanks for the answer, I just thought it was too big for hair pin... well, not important.

They're keeping it up with the quality in this adaption. Really happy about that. Felt the chills when 10031 died and Mikoto fell into despair. Which I didn't get much when I read it. Works better for me animated, with colors, voices, and music/sounds.

Next two episodes have been a long time coming. It's gona be Lush.

Yes. The adaptation so far is superb. I can only hope they'll maintain this level of awesomeness in Index 3.

I'm seriously looking forward to Accel vs Touma. I've seen it five times by now but, *uck me I can watch that fight in different renditions and Accel 24\7. The wait is killing me.

Also I want the OST, badly, it badass.

Especially two tracks, one from when MISAKA clones interfere in Accel vs Miko-chin fight. The second track frequently(always?) pops up whenever there are flashbacks about Accelerator's past. Railde always had great OSTs.

Just finished watching it, overall an awesome episode with, as stated above, magnificent quality.

Good to see even more of Accelerator's 'backstory', and the first experiment.

Crazy Misaka owns them all.

And man, this OST. Is. Awesome. I need it to my collection

Whooping 10 on my side, can't wait to see the next episode ... When is next week again? ... Oh wait.

Yeah really. It'll need it.

Don't try to hide it- you know you've been waiting all Spring to see it :D

why cant I,

hold all these feels?



Lot of character despair in here, also wasn't there a part where Kamijou puked?

Very well done episode.

I think I'm a bit impatient, as not every thing needed as much time as given it this episode. However, that just shows that they are taking their time to do it right instead of rushing it. Also the pacing, while slower then it needed to be, did not feel 'off' the way last weeks episode did.

So I'll give it a 9. (I'm rather parsimonious with 10s).

Finally the climax is soon upon us!!!

Was the first experiment the first time Accel 'killed' someone? Was previous encounters with ruffians just him beating them up and leaving?

I am sure people who attacked him before have died plenty of times. Especially those who used firearms.

We don't know for sure either way.

If they died, its because of their fault. Attacking him is like trying to hit a steel wall with your head. He doesn't even needs to defeat them, they defeated themselves :heh:.
