SURPRISE! past arc. with this and the revelation the other day that it will be 24 episodes, it seems totally certain that it will end with the lu arc, which is absolutely fine by me. shaping up to be an excellently balanced series. the filler isn't really filler.

believe it or not this time all that was new was the frame story that allowed them to insert the past arc without making the progression seem overly arbitrary (such as what sort of happened with the multiepisode past arc in the first season of shakugan no shana).

i still prefer the manga art but i have to say that i really liked how juvenile kuroko was pulled off. and of course arai satomi was flawless as always. these are the strongest characters i have ever seen (in terms of characterization; other interpretations may apply; see store for details).

I was hoping that this part was going go be an OVA, but they used it for more character development instead, which I thought worked out really well. Once again, happy with what they've done, integrating the chapter where Kuroko and Uiharu met each other with some of their own stuff.

Really like how they did it as Kuroko telling Mikoto a story, too, and I'm happy the episode ended on a good note...though my stream decided to go offline before I could see the preview.

yeah, kono yarou went to bed before we could see the preview. though with my bad track record predicting things from the preview (i think i'm 1/3 now) i doubt it would have told me anything anyway, lol.

oh well, only be a few hours before we can see it.

Well we got plenty of development with Uiharu and Kuroko. Although I'm still looking for a sign of significant plot movement, which hasn't exactly happened yet.

Just watched the preview, and next week should be chapter 2 from the manga :), which means we're easing into the plot again.

Can't believe how small Uiharu and Kuroko were before middle school.
I wonder if Kuroko ever realized that Mikoto saved her on that day.

kuroko shirai stinks... they could completely omit her from the show for all i care.... now if they had done a little character modification and had put a voice that is a bit less annoying it would have been fine... but they didnt so its annoying when shes in an episode... thats why episode 4 was so good... she was barely in it... this series would have been perfect if they had concentrated on mikoto misaka... i think...

stupid filler episode -.-

I don't know what it is about that voice....but I can't get enough of it. Kuroko has been poorly represented in this thread. I liked that this episode added a degree of depth to her already entertaining character.

This really is the best series of this season I think. I'm glad they've got it at 24 eps instead of 12 or 13. I really home we see more of Touma, even though he is only a supporting character. But watching the interaction between him and Mikoto is funny.

And I too love Kuroko and her voice. I think the voice is awesome.

Hope not because his so bloody annoying...

An episode with focus on Kuroko and her relations to Kazari :)
Pretty neat episode but not very much happening though, and I really wonder how those two robbers have managed to survive that far seeing they got taken out easily by a small girl.
I mean one kick in the chest is not going to make you black about especially not from a 60 pound girl.

Though since Kuroko is one of my favourites (adore her voice) I loved this episode =D

It was nice I guess but nothing too great, it has been 5 episodes and still the plot hasn't come in :/ I want either the plot to come in or at least some more Touma, I only like Misaka and him. The others are all annoying.

I could honestly care less about Touma, UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE, one of the biggest reasons why the first series was fail was because of this useless excuse of a main character.

I was hoping we would never see Touma or that idiotic Index, that red haired dude was fucking fail too. The series is fine with just BiriBiri and the other girls.

Also, everyone needs to calm down about Kuroko, without her, there is no way I would keep watching this series, I'm pretty sure that deep down the majority of the people like it when Kuroko is doing her yuri antics with Mikoto.

I was shocked that Uiharu is so weak after all. Too bad those thiefs escaped on top of tazing Uiharu and hitting with a car door Shirai. Saten never stops that upskirt lift of Uiharu, so this time it is leaf clovers....whatever. Most impressive is the past of Shirai and Uiharu in primary school. Most impressed with Komari's power of x-ray vision, which is interesting because you can see if anyone carries soemthing dangerous like a gun. Equal Speed....making any object go at the same speed until it gets destroyed or ability stops. That is crazy think of something big that cannot be destroyed and it can created big destruction. Feel bad for Mii getting that wound from the robot blowing up, Shirai for getting kicked in the face/getting her ankle stomped. Was surprised Shirai only knew how to teleport others at first and not herself. I though she learned faster than that. Of course Misaki saves the day. Informative episode this was.

No way Touma is the best. You can't beat his ability's unique features.

Kuroko's way of speaking is unique and hilarious as it is. Hearing her as a elementary student emitting arrogance with every syllable like that is just too much - love it.
Uiharu is sweet as well. Too bad we didn't see Mikoto's face in the flashback...

annoying is annoying, no matter how many people he can save... but again, for me, he is annoying only when he starts his long speech, as long as he doesnt talk too much, some touma x misaka is welcomed

p.s. cant really say this ep is a filler coz the character development is significant
oblivious is a bliss

Amen. Actually 2 level 5s.

He only whines because he feels his cancellation power also cancels anything good from happening in his life. We see that hasn't happen because Misaka seems to have fallen for him (though she won't admit it).
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

This made my weekend, haha. Railgun, always a great thing to start your weekend with. Yes, there could have been more Mikoto, but this episode was fine as it is. Character development is important, too. Too bad that Kuroko couldn't beat those guys on her own, I really liked how she pinned down those burglars in the first episode.. oh well. Next week we dive into the real story :D

I don't know, but for some reason this anime can't do wrong, in my eyes..
