| Not bad but nothing really great happened ether. The usual guy takes Index and Touma uses his hand. The fact that the two main leads are the most uninteresting characters doesn't help. Kaori at the end was probably the best part of the episode in term of plot and excitement. AlliedG said: YagokoroEirin said: KANZAKI KAORI!!!! *nosebleed* QFT xD And also badass and awesome. We need a Toaru Majutsu no Kaori!! |

| オタクなんじゃねぃよ I'm not an otaku. |
| So this was the omitted part of volume 5, right? Anyway, vol7 starts now so we'll get some Ursula and stuff. Shame that there's gonna be so little Kanzaki |

| Misaka is getting annoying with her constant blushing... =.= |
| Great start. It's pretty much a given I'm going to like this. I already forgot what was said before to make Misaka blush like that...might need to re-watch that episode. |
havsie said: Talking about stereotyped male seiyuu.So why is Kotomine in this one? And why does Kotomine have a picture of older Taiga in his wallet? Somehow not surprised seeing his name in the credit for that character :D |
| An episode full of lecture, even the old man almost die due to over-lecture. The best scene in this episode is the audience in the restaurant.They glare at the fight without panic. ehh,its a ftw scene for me anyway. |
| Hmm... So it covered this part? Sicne I readed Volume seven already (up to chapter4) I thinked that this mini-arc was only in the manga (started from 7~), but it just looks great to see it back, and it also looks that the prologue to chapter 1/2 is gonna be in the nest epísode. :) |
 Made by me xD  |
| It's about time this series came back. Loved the first episode. |
 |
same day a.m events of the day. 8.31 ...Kamijyo-san is too tough |
 |
| The new Opening is Epic |
  |
| Decent episode, though it wasn't that exiting. Seems like Accelerator's gonna have a bigger role assuming from the opening which is great. |
 |
zimno said: events of the day. 8.31 This thing is really useful. Thank you. So, more Accelerator anyone? |
SamTheNayru said: Tch, fine. Then I hope he won't have a lot of screentime. :> then sorry to tell you that he'll get his own arcs in the future lol. |

| I think that Worst'll appear only at 3rd season =( |
 |
| Nah, judging by the rate the anime is going, Worst won't be introduced until season 4. lol |

I think either Worst appears in end of S3 or S4, if they decide to release the side stories in the main series and not in OVAs (that would eat up episode count) Only thing I didn't like about this episode was that non-novel readers will get confused in the timeline of the events. I hope they explain more in detail everything for non-novel readers (I don't think they did a good job in the first season...it was oversimplified... they didn't even give a good definition of a Grimoire) Like someone posted a detailed picture explaining everything: This episode happens during the SAME day Touma got a date with Misaka and Accelerator was trying to save Last Order. I want SPORTS FESTIVAL arc now. (But Kanzaki arc is awesome too, they should animate her side story too) |

Aversa said: blauw said: Railgun was aired half a year ago while the original Index was aired more then a year ago so that's obvious.ah thanks! i remember more from railgun then index =p But how many light novels did t hat cover it seemed in the end to only reach 6ish with some hints at the sports festivel etc? So how many do we think season 2 covers another 6 so were at 12 lmao leaving room for what 1-2 more seasons if they ever hope to finish what the light novels are doing.? |
| I saw the new anime and I jizzed in my pants. |

So how many do we think season 2 covers another 6 so were at 12 lmao leaving room for what 1-2 more seasons if they ever hope to finish what the light novels are doing.? I think the director or someone said that S2 will animate next 8 novels (in other words, till novel 14). 24 novels have been released at this point, 2 of them being a collection of short stories. |

I most likely think they'll do vol 13 and stop then. stopping at vol 12 would be dumb, 'cause 12/13 belong together, like 9/10. And 14 is a ShortStoryCollection. Vol 8 most likey being left out, because Touma only appears once and Index doesn't appear at all (Railgun volume if you want so). |
| so probably 3 full seasons at this rate then if it does go to 13 (or 14) |
Vol 8 most likey being left out, because Touma only appears once and Index doesn't appear at all (Railgun volume if you want so). In OP,you can see the main villain of Volume 8. So that volume is getting animated (and it wouldn't make sense to not have it in since it is connected to Accelerator's plot in few ways). |
|
| Love the Opening can't wait for next episode, THATS for sure. |

| Oh man, the rating is dropping for this show!!! |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Wait can someone tell me will the other level 5s appear? Don't spoil it for me though... |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
Nayrael said: Um, where's Ruiko? She was nowhere to be see in the OP or ED. Don't tell me they decided to scratch her. :( Unlike Uiharu, Ruiko is an Railgun-only character as far as I know (tough she once made a cameo appearance in novels illustrations) so don't expect to see her. She had 2 seconds of glory in the first season of Index in the opening song... |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Also, did you guys notice that it happened on August 31st and Railgun ended in August 9th? (In their universe) |

The manga is following the timeline. Someone in this thread posted what exactly happened at that day in this first episode. Accelerator meeting Last Order. Touma meeting Biribiri and that Aztec priest. Touma meeting that man. Edith: Found it. zimno said: same day a.m events of the day. 8.31 ...Kamijyo-san is too tough |

Confucius said: I thought this episode was on August 31st.. Yupp, and? Those 3 incidents all took place on the same day, August 31st. Touma, Biribiri and that aztec priest. Touma, Index and that crossbow guy. Accelerator and Last Order. |
| index V, index VI, index VII..... =) I thought the 3rd season will be the last one, if author isn't mad ^^ |
|
| Gotta say that the first episode wasn't exactly as epic as I thought, but it was nevertheless good =) I really love the animation, and especially the almost seamless continuation from the first season was awesome :D Can't wait for next ep! |
| wtf...It went too fast |

Eetscha said: Well to be fair we should compare it to the first episode of season 1. iirc in that episode kamina fought stiyl. There wasn't much too it and kamijo won with a sprinkler. We didn't get to the good stuff until after that first arc was done. In this instance at least the first arc will be good and we only have to sit through a mediocre opening episode.Gotta say that the first episode wasn't exactly as epic as I thought, but it was nevertheless good =) I really love the animation, and especially the almost seamless continuation from the first season was awesome :D Can't wait for next ep! I know you weren't complaining or anything, that's just what I've been thinking about the issue. It's come up a couple times. |

| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
Confucius said: Hyouka takes place after august 31st (can't remember the date, but just shortly directly after this). The hyouka arc is also when Misaka and Index were formally introduced (though I think Misaka had seen kamijo with index in the past. I'd have to check to be sure).Xeo said: Confucius said: I thought this episode was on August 31st.. Yupp, and? Those 3 incidents all took place on the same day, August 31st.

| Op is meh. Ed is crap. Needs more biriri. |
Confucius said: Where is the confusion here?august 31st all the events listed earlier. A later date, let's call it September 1st (don't know the date but let's give it a name) Hyouka arc and Misaka is formally introduced to index.

| Great start! Need more Kanzaki <333 |
| Index season 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have the biggest smile on my face. :D So excited! Loved the opening! Mami for the win! Haha, Misaka blushing was hilarious, but Touma booked hard. So pumped for the new season! EP 2 CAN NOT WAIT! XD! |
