Toaru Majutsu no Index

So Accelerator is able to fine tune his shield against light (UV and hair pigment comment)

He also gets himself a loli, that is as annoying as Index.

He's easy to play with, that scientist easilly had him choose the loli option.

I also think he could enter the faction and he's a nice combo with Touma, provided he can overcome the fact he's been beaten by Touma of course.

The fact he was beaten by Touma, has every dumbasses think they can do the same.
Thing is they think wrong in only seeing Touma as powerless. So they get beaten by their own idiocy.
Problem is that there are lots of them that keep coming, so it's a bit annoying over time.

I'm starting to think he may also have lots of minor bad luck happenings like Touma.
Why? maybe because he reflects good luck as it tries to enter his life...

So Accelerator is able to fine tune his shield against light (UV and hair pigment comment)

I don't think that was a surprise to anyone. The discussion a while back was whether he would be able to create quantity (intensity) limits for light. Now it appears he filters all UV. Also, lack of control is also suggested by the fact when he filtered Index, also chibi MIKOTO got filtered, so it's probable he filtered a whole sound of range at once (some kilohertzes, wherever loli voices reside).

[RyougaZell]

I think he neutralized all sound around himself. If he had only filtered voices, he would have heard Last Order's steps.

Now that you mention it, I'm surprised he doesn't have rickets.

[David75]

Now that you mention it, I'm surprised he doesn't have rickets.

Well, depends on how he blocks UVs, if only the harmfull ones, or everything altogether. But I guess Kraco is right, he blocks everything, or he'll have some pigments.

Nice... shall download later.
The cover with Mikoto owns.

[KrayZ33]

hmmm... I only like that "dungeon keeper"-song from it.. (played when he fought against that alchemist, or when the remaining knights made that holy-barrage on the building) - Song 21

the rest sounds nice here and there but it's somewhat boring if you listen to them without watching the anime

[digitalrurouni]

Man all I can say is Accelerator is a badass! I hope he does not retain any permanent damage though!

[Nadouku]

It was nice to see Accelerator have some heroic feat in his personality and being able to reverse the flow of data back to its preset pool? That's a pretty neat feature for one of his abilities, though not surprising.

I knew something about that doctor was fishy, but didn't realize he was part of the whole plan. Anyway, nice wrap-up episode of Accelerator.

It was nice to see Accelerator have some heroic feat in his personality and being able to reverse the flow of data back to its preset pool?

From the looks of things, he's not only got a really hax ability, but some uber computation power too (whether this translates to being "smart", who knows).

The way he read the data before then compared to the infected was more like analysing the current electron positions and redirecting them to fit the original pattern he has in mind. The way he looks at code and can calculate wind speed, his own mind doesn't seem to be short of a computer itself - wiring it up to the MISAKA network doesn't seem to be too hard a job.

I'm just wondering what'll happen to them now. Are they going to be idle in tanks providing Accelerator with thought power, or walking around and all while letting Accel share resources?

The doctor was interesting too. The way they call him the "Heaven Canceller", and in his own words "going to the battle field and returning with the patient" sounds like his powers allow him to actually battle with Fate somehow.

edit: I don't think the doctor was "part of the whole plan", but he seems to be acquainted with the wounded researcher and has some knowledge about their little experiment.

It does finally explain why Touma comes home from the hospital in perfect health each time he gets really greviously injured. No one else would be able to reattach an arm cut off like that.

As long as he doesn't hurt his right hand I suppose...

[David75]

I think accelerator will be part of the misaka network that will provide him computation power to enable his powers. In a way, he becomes the queen of the hive.
To survive he needs them and he can somehow protect them?

Other than the outcome, what was happening was a bit too familiar with Touma/Index. But that was fine.

[Buffalobiian]

That would be one powerful network. An army of railguns with an invincible "deflect all" hivemind would be something to fear. It's about time too that Accelerator finally reveals his weakness in the form of computing power. It's not something an opponent can usually take advantage of though, unless he's caught in a pinch like this one (though if he gets more screentime, hacking in to cause a Denial of Service attack on him and his network will be a more accessible weak point. Deflect seems to use jack all thinking anyway.

I notice that we've clocked all the way up to episode 20 already with enough room for 1 good arc. I've enjoyed it so far, but due to the scope of the whole science/magic thing, it feels like things have only just kicked off. A second season of Index this show is a must!

[RyougaZell]

A second season is definitely a must. Specially with all the leftover source material. And I read somewhere the DVD/Blu-ray was selling nicely, so maybe we can get it.

I find strange that several series this season are changing their ending song in episode 20, instead of the usual 'half' of the series. But yeah... this series also had a late-op change.

[Kraco]

A good opportunity for Accelerator to prove he's capable of more than killing. Though the fact he didn't kill the scientist was a detail revealing he's not really a natural killer anyway, further proving MISAKA was right in her analysis in the previous episode. A costly mistake in any case.

[Buffalobiian]

The doctor mentioned he'll supplement Accelerator's lost brain function with the Network, but from the ED he seems to be wearing a chokie/collar. I'm trying to make out whether it's a transmitter (why isn't it implanted then?) to the Network or some piece of fashion accessory. Really, the only plausible idea that comes to mind is a vibration microphone to pick up his voice, perhaps in order to voice-command via radio. Again, the reason why it ain't implanted comes to mind.

Indeed. They also went into detail pointing out that Accelerator's been the target of people's curiosity since he was a kid. With randoms showing up in tanks just to see if you can really take a hit must make it really hard to make friends, leading to him only finding pleasure (if he indeed did) by shoving ammunition back in their face. It's been that long since someone's called him by his name that he doesn't even remember it anymore. I do hope if and when he joins this "Touma Fraction" that the writters (author) really does come back to this and give him a name.

Another question is, is he human?

Because the way he talked about humans would have us think he isn't, or can't be considered, or doesn't consider himself a human. I don't know if it's really important, I just noted that.
