I agree with Kraco. I got no complaints about this show well maybe the loliness but I can live with it.

Loliness? She's quite perky but hardly a loli...
I thought he called Touma a monster because of how Touma wanted to find strangers or drug her to find a cure that didn't work, or something.Originally Posted by RyougaZell
I'm pretty sure he called Touma a monster because of his right hand.

Present company excluded!!
Overal slow episode but I am still liking every second of it. Never thought the seal would be in her mouth. Thing this is the first time I have seen that happen in a anime. Besides Glutonny's Homonculus mark. It's funny how that in all of those 103.000 Grimoires there isn't a single one with has information about Touma's right hand. Really looking forward to the next episode.
Why would there be info of Touma's hand in there? Touma's power is ESPer based... while the grimoires only cover Magic (Majutsu) and not 'Science' (Kagaku) as Touma refers to their power...
Index already said it... the 'normal' people developed magic since they didn't have ESP powers.
BTW... the part of Touma seeking what places he had not touched was priceless...
I thought it was funny how nearly all of those hospitals he called didn't have receptionists. Sure it was late, but they have people that work late shifts, people's lives depend on it.
I guess there's an emergency phone number that can redirect you whenever you have a medical emergency. And when you call, they have direct lines to the right places.
I remarked something:
This is the first time Touma's hand is hurt by something magical/esper. Everything that was only power with no physical support, never had any effect on that hand.
And there, just touching the seal he starts bleeding and is hurt, even "lightly"... well there's a bit too much blood, but lightly.
Also the seal isn't totally destroyed, meaning it's also very strong.
So here we have two ultimate powers confronting, touma will have to be clever to use his hand the best possible way without having his advantage fading away.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I'm not sure I like this talk about vampires the end of the ep had. Surely this serious could have gone on without them. Especially when they come out of nowhere. Of course they needed to have something on the table now that poor Index was saved (and Touma got his brain broiled), but did it have to be vampires? I'm a vampire fan, but not a fan of having vampires in other stories just for the sake of having vampires.
Well, I hope I'm proven completely wrong and they are integral to the story (or don't exist at all, and this is just some plot).
Im completely annoyed with this episode, specially the ending.
I was waiting patiently for the 'next arc', and it wasn't the one I wanted to see.
Meh!
Nice episode, great animation as usual, but it was awesome to see Index unleash her defenses at Touma. Supercomputer mind.
I like seeing how their relationship formed so fast compared to most of the other animes, aka Index loves Touma after like two episodes and Touma resolves to protect her. I hope the next arc will be as enjoyable.

Yeah, that was a very positive aspect. It's true normally in shounen shows such words aren't spoken before the last episode if ever. Along the same lines the hospital scene was also executed very well. Touma just playing around and not becoming emo. And it seemed to be true indeed what he said: Even if he had forgotten all about Index, he apparently hadn't lost his feelings (heart) for her (mushy mushy).
Uh, is it me or was Touma running at the 7 minute or so mark for a very long time in his sensei's VERY VERY VERY small home? He's like running in a long hallway, when it's in fact 2-3 feet...
I was thinking the same thing, but it is not uncommon for anime shows to make an action that takes less than a second last for an episode or so *cough** slam dunk *cough*.
Peace.
I found it to be a dramatic scene, but there is another question in my mind: Why did the teacher take so long to take a hot bath, and leave Touma alone, knowing those two magicians will come back?
Reminds of Naruto when the 3rd Hokage held Orochimaru for like... three episodes?

I just got tired of Touma's lecture. It was good at first, but was it really necessary to go for a full minute?!
Other than that, the episode was pretty decent. I'm a bit disappointed at St George's Sanctuary, I have to say. Out of all those 103 000 volumes and making the menacing, black aura, it ended up being a laser beam. I was expecting something...more. From last episode's preview, the way they said "St George's Sanctuary puts more distance between me and Index than ever", I thought it was going to be something smart, like a space-time warp so Touma couldn't touch Index's program.
Touma losing his memory was an interesting touch, and was written rather well. We witness Touma and Index's feelings for each other, but we won't have to go through another "do you remember me?" episode, and the battle didn't turn out to be a Everybody-walks-out-unharmed bullshit. I liked it. Even the slightly sad tug.
As for the vampires, they're not unwelcome. I just hope they pull them off as really mysterious, shady occult beings rather than simply vicious animals, or just humans with fangs.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Haha yeah I was gonna say the exact same thing and that annoyed me to no end!
I'm still enjoying the series, and looking forward to where the series is going, but man I'm really really getting tired with the long monologues by Touma. Usually in shounen series has these types of heroes, but man this guy's are unusually long.
Anyways, I wasn't expecting that he himself would lose his memories... I think it's a good move by the series. A good surprise. Once again I'm liking the whole aspect of his power, which gives him bad luck.
