I laughed when Hyouka got hit in the face LMAO. So, she is not human.

Index and Mikoto meet for the first time was hilarious too.

Sherry is crazy.
BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity.

In Nippon, we trust.

We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本

I believe in freedom of expression.

I honestly think this was the worst episode. The ending with all the flashbacks felt manipulative, especially since Hyouka was introduced the same episode.

What the ... well I for one didn't laugh when she got hit in the face, I'm surprised in in the minority though O_O


I also belong to that minority. I was sorry for the girl and how the magician treated her.

I also didn't found it funny. I felt sorry for the girl - suddenly finding out she's not as human as she thought she was.. Magican calling her "a monster" didn't help.

Well, makes sense that telepathy would get negated by Touma's right hand as well..
A bit about new girl.. I feel that this series introduces lots of arcs and characters, but I'd want them to develop characters more.. There is a bit of here and there, though.. I guess it's long running series, and with time you get more tiny bits of character here and there, but I personally myself am not planning to watch the whole series of all seasons.. So.. I kinda feel that with time we get these warm moments, slice of life, and stuff.. And with time I like characters more.. But also a bit too much action in between and introducing even more characters before developing ones that are already there waiting to become likeable.. Oh well..
Let's see, how it goes next..

This is the most stupid and poorly thought out episode of any anime that I have ever seen.

There's a terrorist attack and gunshots can be heard in the back, this is the perfect time to argue about our stupid little love triangle..

Who should we teleport to safety? We can teleport only 2 at once.
We have 2 civilians and 2 fighters, lets evacuate 1 civilian and 1 fighter...
STONKS.

Oh I was told to wait in safety but I guess I will run towards the gunshots, that seems safe.

Oh I just got stoned in the head, how about I run at the enemy for no apparent reason.


I always knew light novel adaptations were trash but to such a degree? The author is talentless hack pretending to have a deep and well thought out universe.
I don't understand how this has such a big following. "sigh" toxic fandoms amirite..

Komoe is the real MVP here, she really loves her students and really acted like a "mentor" instead of a mere "teacher" to Touma aww...

I'm getting ready for another round of TOUMAN PUNCH

Got to love the traditional anime case of failing to understand the urgency of the situation on display this episode.

Call with terrible signal but can make out a few words telling Touma to be careful, but instead of going outside and calling back he just ignores it. Judgement telepath girl seems more concerned aout Touma not receiving the telepath message than actually telling him to evacuate. Antiskill woman waits until AFTER Touma has walked by to ask what he's doing. Touma tells Sensei that it's not a good time (phone signal is suddenly miraculously perfect), and she starts spouting needless jargon that both Touma and the viewer have been told before rather than getting to the point.

Touma's ending rescue would've been a lot more impressive if he hadn't blundered all the previous chances to Imagine Break the golem. Talks about just needing to touch it while he's been constantly jumping AWAY from it :P

Going to be interesting to see how these last 2 episodes go down and who else is trying to spark this academy city war. Especially since not all the English Puritan Church people are on board with it.

Well all is revealed about Hyouka now, she is not actually a real human, and inside her head is some strange object.

Index and Misaka meet too, and wow was that something, seems they don't exactly get along too well...

Just two more episodes left of this, I hope they can finish it well.
