I'm somewhat mixed, but for the most part I liked it. I think I mentioned this before,but I kinda got spoiled at the whole "Touma 'dies' " deal at the end, but I thought the way they had him 'go out' like a baws was nicely done. I also liked how Accel's redemption piece was written it'll be interesting to see how he acts now, and Hamazura pretty much displayed how enjoyable it is seeing someone with little to no power totally turn the tables on cocky mofos....and speaking of which...

the mixed part comes from (aside the fact that I was kind of spoiled) famina as a villian, since in the end he was just on overly pessimistic chicken shit with power, yet at the same time it was very satasfying seeing his plans crumble at every possible angle, and not just from Touma either. "the world dosen't need to be saved from a jackass like that" indeed. While I expected Touma to let him live, I didn't expect F'in Alister of all mofos to come in and totally rock his shit. Even though its supposed to be the 'end' it feels more and more obvious that the author had MUCH more instore for this universe, which I like.

Lastly, Biribiri... while I was a tad disappointed she had to get distracted by that darn nuculear missle, that last bit at the end with her trying to save touma really made up for it. I don't think since one piece have I ever seen a scene that seemed so random and out of place, yet fit perfectly anyway and leave you with the sense of heart break afterwards. Touma had to do what he had to do, and I respect that, but damn. That said, I wonder if before Index's consiousness came along if Touma ever CONSIDERED trying to make it out alive. Its a dark thought and I really have little proof but when he made that promise that he WILL be back, it was written to make me think that he was ready to die trying to keep the fortress from falling on a town.

Overall, I found this to be a fitting end for this part of Index since the core of both Touma and Accel had been shaken up quite a bit and Hamazura's stroy was overall an enjoyable one, I'll be looking forward to seeing these three progress in NT and acctually meet!


No, I don't know what the 'BIG BAD' evil or anything is or any themes, I wasn't spoiled that badly. At some point in time I plan to do an overview of the whole first part of index, but I'll wait a bit til I get around reading some LNs of the first two seasons, since I began with the novels after season 2. But frist is NT! then DRRR! then Haruhi. then spice and wolf(?) THEN those novels!
