If I'm to be honest, I would say that to my eyes it looks as if there's been a very modest decline in overall animation this season. More inconsistent, a few off-model characters, a drop in background detail here and there. But I don't even really think about that most of the time, because I usually don't find it noticeable. So I'd have to say no, I really don't have the same reflections as you, but we all see what we see. Are you a beekeeper, BTW? You’re very welcome.

Now, once an episode ends I don’t think about it until the next one starts." Thank you for summarizing it so well! I used to lie awake at night thinking of the characters. Now I think about the cards (I'm slowly learning karuta) instead of wondering where the series will take the characters or secretly agonizing on their behalf. I would like to ask if you have noticed that the animation is getting shoddy? This is something that truly bothers me and I feel like I need someone else's view... To my biased eyes, the beginning of the second season started off with shoddy animation, with characters of poorly drawn proportions; I tried to see if I'd merely romanticized the carefully drawn art of the previous season, but I still feel the same after a rewatch of the whole season 1. The animation in S2 seemed to have improved a bit towards the middle but now the last frames (the careless way Arata and Chihaya's bodies were drawn, etc) make me think that the animation is slowly going downhill again. I know it shouldn't matter so much, but for some reason my love of Chihayafuru is very dependent on the central message of doing your best and this seemed to be reflected in everything--the beautiful music, the carefully drawn frames. It makes me feel bad if I feel that someone somewhere is slacking off when it comes to the illustrations. I wanted to ask if you'd noticed anything like this at all. It would put my mind at rest. I always love reading your commentaries!

Normally, when Accelerator's Reflect kicks in, it fires the attack straight back at the target, killing them if it's of a lethal nature (observe the Sister's sniping attacks on him). However, in this case, the Railgun at close range was reflected to (narrowly) miss Misaka. I can only assume this was done on purpose. Granted, it may not have been out of a sense of mercy, and more because he just wanted to mess around, but still. Even when Accelerator was first introduced, he has some (slight) hangups about killing people unrelated to the dark side of Academy City. I’m inclined to say he did show mercy.

Kuroko needs direct contact to teleport things to serve as her reference point. Awaki's power can teleport anything within her range and doesn't need any reference points. She's actually one of the potential espers to become a level 5. She is just hindered by her trauma so she cannot become one. And again, teleportation in Index still operates with vector manipulation so no, Kuroko cannot beat Accelerator. Move Point is much more powerful that Kuroko’s teleportation.

His barrier covers his entire body so there's no way her attack can penetrate it. Actually, I don't really think she can do that as that requires much more calculation on her part which she isn't able to do. Accelerator has the fastest calculation ability within the Level 5s and even he had a hard time reprogramming Last Order. It's even evident here in this episode that Misaka took a long time in manipulating the iron sand to attack Accelerator. Manipulating electric currents within the body is close to impossible for her. And electricity is still a vector quantity. It still travels with a direction and of course possesses magnitude so it's still not above his powers. So no.
