Well excuuuuse me for having a catchphrase I actually have a use for.

Besides, what's wrong with Index's voice? She's a major reason why I prefered Index over Railgun...oh and her ability to control other people's magic by saying random letters...and the Index anime having a rare likable male protagonist. (not the only likable protagonist, a RARE likable male protagonist...I just know someone is going to list another character in another anime in response to the last bit)

Do people dislike her voice for the same reason why I love it?

Er…

With the proviso that I'm stating the general opinion I've heard, and that I am neither stating my own opinion nor looking for an argument:

Many people seem to find Index annoying, and I'd be surprised if her voice wasn't a factor in that.

...then Many people better elaborate why they think she's annoying...

Most criticisms of Index I've heard comes from the fact that her name's in the title despite not being that prominent in the first anime after her arc was over.

Never heard anyone say annoying or voice though.

I think Index's voice fits really well. I dislike Index for being a headcrab though. When she is not being that I am fine with her.

Personally my favorite female in Index so far is Laura Stuart oddly enough. I like her manipulative style.

I don't mind Index's voice. It fits her. I just find her annoying.

... Why does Kuroko have boobs all of a sudden?

A less annoying voice wouldn't work for Index. She's a whiny brat, and her voice reflects that.

Kuroko is still basically flat. She's what, 12-13? Should be getting breasts at this point. Not one of those girls that are still inexplicably lolis at age 20.

Isn't headcrab a small monster in Half Life that turns people into zombies?

She's being called a headcrab because she keeps biting Touma's head. And yeah, the nickname is derived from Half Life. Honestly, I kind of like the comparison.

Why not just call her a zombie...or metroid instead then...

She's annoying, small, and always aims for the head. Here is a visual reference for you.

Well pads were in earlier in the episode so...

Look, I don't mind Index. But it frustrates me sometimes that she gets so much screen time, but so little character development since the first arc back at the start of the first season.

Oh look, it's Index again. She's hungry and eats all the food. She makes a comment showing ignorance of science while knowing all the secrets of magic. There she goes (sub-consciously) tempting Touma with her body. Now she bites him on the head.

Okay... I got that. When is she going to start focusing on why Stiyl seems so devoted to her? When is she going to discover that Touma lost his memory? Now that she finally met Mikoto, how is that going to develop? Since Touma seems to be treating Index as more of little sister than a romance interest- is that going to move towards some resolution?

You get what I'm saying? I don't mind Index. She's not my favorite character, but she is interesting. But then they do hardly anything with her.

All the other characters (excepting Touma) get less screen time, but their character and stories are actually progressing.

Now of course, I've heard that this changes in the future, I'll be very happy when that happens, but it just seems to me they spent a lot of time on Index developing plot threads that are then left hanging.

Okay, Accelerator's little finishing up touch there was awesome.

And I guess that's novel 8 all more or less wrapped up. Which... means they'll probably be animating 12-13, which should also be awesome.

I know I have had a few things spoiled for me because of that too. Oh well one takes their chances when you have spoilers not hidden.

This arc was kind of impressive for the level of violence. Kind of feel bad for Move Point girl.

Is it just me or did Misaka and Kuroko's b00bz grow this season? I mean, I guess they are at that age, but still-

Kuroko, yes. Misaka, not really.

Mikoto looks about the same as in Railgun, but Kuroko's are definitely larger.
