Fans of A Certain Magical Index can’t help but notice that the anime has suffered a rather extreme quality collapse in its latest episode:
Whether all this will be fixed in the DVD is not yet clear – To Aru anime seem to have made comparatively few revisions in their disc releases.

Misaka looks cross-eyed in image 4.
check out her right arm on the same picture ;)
Almost her entire body is asymmetrical, in fact. Maybe this is one of the Misaka clones that went wrong?
Oh, Thanks now I see it i did not notice it till you pointed it out. :3
Poor Himegami.
Touma just looks so weird on the last images...
Now that you've mentioned it......
yeah, most are perspective failure though..
Tsuchi's fight with Oriana on the other hand was animated well (although a dark scene).
it's always a shame to see an anime not on par with the quality in the last episode especially if it's much worse than it.
hopefully they will fix it on the dvd/blu ray release :D
I noticed how often the body proportions were off throughout the episode too.
Touma's warped face from the start of Season II is spreading to the rest of the body and turning contagious.
(Meanwhile, I eagerly await that P, S & G post.)
At least there was some bloody guro action, nom nom ;3
Ishihara ordered Square Enix to move from games onto Index as payback for Tokyo International Anime Fair boycott. The evil bastard.
The thumbnail for this post kinda made me wonder if I should open the link at all.....
@anon 06:32 I don't think the posts above are just randomly downvoted >_> Cannot judge about Zakuro as I have not seen it, tho.
Anyway, I DID notice the skewed faces in this episode and was just wondering if the staff is already starting to celebrate Xmas already.
I don't know about you all but I'm already getting tired of the urban chase thing they've had going on for more than one ep... >_<
My God, what the hell happened to our anime?!
Zakuro's a good show, probably my favorite of the season. But pissing on Index with Zakuro is like a cat pissing on a dog. The index universe (counting Railgun) is up above 50 episodes, while Zakuro seems programmed as a short season 12-13 episode series. Give Zakuro a 2nd and 3rd season and see if their quality holds up.
Honestly, all the pictures look as if all the characters had their heads stuck on later. IE they look as if they are heads on sticks.
Next, all the arms and legs look disproportionate. The arms don't seem to be the same as the previous episodes at all.
The arms and legs are reaching for the 90s, reminding me of marmalade boy. The heads on the bodies reminds me of kids pasting heads on sticks. 'sigh'. I'm not looking forward to see such a change in animation.
The problem is with J.C.Staff doing FOUR anime this season...so staff and resources get thinnen out and overall quality drops across all the anime they are doing...
But I haven't watched Zakuro yet (just started watching), so can't comment on whether or not its animation quality holds up or not.
JC Staff is prioritizing their best project this season, Otome Youkai Zakuro.

Wow. Multi-account fag makin his downvote runs on almost everything good AND bad. What a lil bitch.
Downvote it as many times as you like, but it's true. There's no comparison in terms of art and animation between the two - Otome Youkai Zakuro looks as if it's from a different company altogether.
Man, nobody talks about the new magician Oriana? I think she's absolute SEX!
I agree.
I loved her fight with Tsuchimikado those poses HHNNNNGGGG.
Yeah, it was like watching porn without sex. Refreshing.
Sure got me turn on. :3
naw
animation is merely catching up to overall quality
the first season turned into a god awful mess after a few episodes and this time it was even faster
this show has been totally outranked by its spin-off and they should have realised it
It's because the spinoff had so much less plot behind it that they tried hard to make up for it in every other area.
Actually if I was not mistaken, Railgun, and even Index I was the ONLY anime J.C.Staff were doing during the season it was aired so it would have had better allocation of staffs and resources, thus better overall animation quality...
But for this season, J.C.Staff is doing Index II, Bakuman, AND Milky Holmes...that's 3 anime in the same season! So animation quality went down the gutter...
Minor correction...I have just start watching "Otome Youkai Zakuro", and it turns out it is by J.C.Staff as well! So they are doing FOUR...yes FOUR anime this season!!
hmm, true
still i rate less plot with integrity over 10 disconnected plots of sinoidal quality
The "bleed through 9000 holes" spell was surprising and out of the blue, but animated so terribly it made me laugh after the initial reaction.
they better just keep the animation up on my biribiri or consequences will never be the same
Blu-Ray. That's all that I can say about that.
Well the quality drop and the time of year the regular animators probably gone on vacation.
Or ran to another Prefecture/Country where Ishihara-Vitus will not infect them, to start a new anime studio before the Tokyo ship sinks.
Still won't match Studio Pierrot and Xebec by light years.
Kind of sad to see such a horribly animated episode after it's stunning quality in the beginning. It was not just mediocre, it was downright bad.
what are you expecting? with 2 $ an hour
And still they are saying that they are just doing what they love.....isn't that horrible people?
Index made in China.. lol
omg, NO! One of the reasons I like index is animation quality. T___T
I just hope they will release BD version re-animated.
Still... Thats the first fail for all 2.5 seasons of 'To aru...' Hope it's last one.
it's understandable they are doing 3 shows this season and they have to manage their budget.
Touma looks like a botched afro on panel 3
I must be blind. I didn't notice this drastic drop in this or previous episode.
I thought "I'm a magician, using magic is my specialty!" was a really funny line. As well as something that Index said.
Ohhhh shit, it's going to be all "Minami-Ke"again...
This is sad...
I like that show :/
Hope for revisions...
Quality collapse is due to financial crisis.
