Great episode.

oi, if I'm not mistaken it's still 3 hours more before it's been aired in japan.

i envy your ESPer powers :heh:

does anyone knows of a site like say-move since it doesnt work for me anymore?

... Raws get, a few seconds into it now... (not going to reveal where.)

... Looks like the animation quality went meh even further than last week's... but what do I say, can't complain too much about it can I? But anyway, I don't want that to hamper my enjoyment for this week. Moving on...

Animation-wise, not too great, but the overall episode was better than the previous episode's.

Tsuchimikado's fight was quite nice in my opinion, even if some of the jumping pose he had was downright badly drawn. But the way the anime goes to show his physical skills and his... grappling and weapon skills does give more credit than it normally does.

I liked the Himegami/Komoe scene quite a bit. The music really helped to reinforce the feeling of "isolated feelings' that Himegami has for Touma. Felt quite a bit like the Fukiyose 'almost-kissu' scene in terms of expression of feelings and thoughts go.

And damn, Oriana's animation wasn't exactly stellar, but whoever drew her overall poses for this episode definitely knew the 'sexy postures' of the female anatomy.

Well, one of the major highlights for this episode, is, of course...

... Poor Himegami. :(

Okay, Seiri's was an accident, but... here's more waiting for Oriana to be punched. :D

The episode was borderline dull... the first part was supposed to be fun, right? RIIIGHHHTTTT? Well, I didn't find said scene funny, heck, the animation was worse than the previous; the second scene was better , we have some Himegami, poor girl, at least her part kept me watching the episode.
Nightengal is right, the animator who's in charge of Oriana's scenes knows about women poses, thats good :heh:.

Though I had already read the novel and I hadn't watched it yet. But with people keep saying poor animation then I shouldn't expect much.

Add there the direction, it doesn't fill my expectatives.

touma is going to murder Oriana by the time this is over.

by the next episode of this episode I wonder if it would all end in the next episode but episode 13 is apostle's cross if I remember it right so probably not.

Too fast pacing for my taste and also randomly change in animation. Points wise I would give it 8 for the sake of Aisa but if not I would probably just give it a 5 or 6.

Wilfri is right. a dull episode is dull. The fight scene is too fast and doesn't leave much impact on me. The one who give a huge impact is when Aisa was attack.

Wow blood bath. If they had done the same for tsuchimikado and touma I would probably like the anime more. Because by the time oriana arrive to corner tsuchimikado on this episode. He should be already bathed on his own blood but their is no blood and NO BLOOD AT ALL ON THE FIGHT!!!!

It depends on your tastes. We all got diff. Opinions since we read the novels but i saw it RAW instead of SUB and still found it enjoyable and the animation wasn't bad. Though people (including me) complain because this arc doesn't have the usual animation we've seen from index by far. Though since this is the longest arc and it really doesn't have much importance compared to others i dont mind. This arc has focused more on the comedy rather than the action. So far the first ep of this arc has had the best animation.

That is because, from what I heard, diferent animators got switched in accord to each "part" of the episode".

this episode was really bad, last episode we got the "worst" looking misuzu but the first scene this episode first scene she looked totally different(just like from another series), animation wise this and last episode are head to head in the worst animated figthing scenes of the series, the animation didnt have those donwspikes it had last episodes but it wasnt really good either, hell they even change the way they show blood now, and i loved how realistic it looked in first season(for reference see I_am_kami avatar/signature), at least next episode seems to have chances of beign good animated from what is seen from the preview, beacuse the quality of this season makes the show vary average.

Its not this season. Just this arc. Never read so many complaints. Misuzu looked better here actually. I've said this before, they got better arcs and fights to put money,animation, and time on. This arc even in the novels had me more concentrated on comedy.

All right, that confirms it. Oriana needs to die a very painful death.

Komoe continues to prove herself as one of the best characters in the series. Heck, she deserves her own series.

Totally agree, Komoe sensei needs her own spin off with 2 of her roommates.

Ok, Finally saw the SUB. Gotta say this ep is the second best of the arc so far. The fight was good so i don't have any idea what the complaints are about. The fight music was epic also. Also
zeniselv its not that the blood was better in the last season. It funny how noticed this but so far the animation always seems to be better at night. You'll notice the same thing in season 1 where whenever it was at night the animation was awesome. When MISAKA clone was killed(night). My sig(night) accel fight(night) This season ep 1 (night) ep 7 (night). The animation this ep wasn't bad. Sure there are 2-3 parts where characters look a little diff. Like Duskyra said with komeos big head and same for himegami, but its nothing big.

This arcs eps went like this.

Ep8-Very good animation.
Ep9-Meh
Ep10-Better( clap clap)
Ep11- Much better.

Also as tsunade said. Ep 13 says apostles cross but the preview says otherwise. Any ideas?
