this annoying incompetent brat just happens to have defeated the strongest lv5 esper, saved a nun with an entire library encoded in her brain from losing her memories and saved a vampire killer dressed in miko outfit from the hands of an insane alchemist.

+1000 points. Well said! Well thought!


This annoying incompetant brat is better than you. :'D

I love Touma.

As do I. It's one of the main reasons I even started watching the first arc of this and the past series, and read the manga.

Was an alright episode. I was kind of hoping to see the revenge fight against the thieves though.

Nice development, but Kuroko's voice is just so....... enticing and annoying at the same time.

Nice character development episode, it really showed why Uiharu and Kuroko are so close. But they're not my favorite characters in this show and more Biribiri would be nice.

This was actually a fairly good episode, the random burglar's "equal speed" ability was pretty awesome. Railgun had a slow start but the with the previous episode and this it's looking much better. I hope it keeps up the quality, this is a series I was really excited for.

Yeah that's what i'm trying to figure out until now, if they happened to fight, the teleporter will have a big advantage on long range, but when come to close range and imagine breaker can get hold of her, then the table will turn


In the first episode she teleported some weights about 80m and we all know that Touma needs at least two minutes to cross a room that is only 3m long.
You'll regret this...

Anyway, I liked this episode. Saten got some development the past few episodes so it's good to see some with Uihari and Kuroko.

First of all, Kuroko's shorter hair was great, but she's still unbelievably annoying with that voice of hers, although it sounds a little better in a pillow..
(Oh and still a great OP)

Aww that was a cute Uiharu when Kuroki mentioned going to Tokiwadai xD
And Kuroko really wasn't smart back then, and well.. she still isn't D:
Too damn impatient.

And then... RAILGUN! : D

Too bad though, episode needs more Biribiri.. And could've had some Touma aswell D:

Why didn't the bank robber just whip the marbles like a baseball pitch? Would have been like trowing shotgun blasts... Oh well, the episode wasn't that bad overall. A little back story every now and then never hurts (unless your watching Tenjou Tenge in which case it'll make you claw your eyes out in frustration).

Uiharu and Kuroko's past was very interesting and good development with these characters, so I liked it so far. I really want to know about Kuroko and Biribiri meet each other for their first time, though. I'm very glad that series have 24 episodes instead 12.

I'd like this show better if it focused on Misaka and Touma instead of her and Kuroko. Not that it was a bad episode, but a tad boring than the other ones.

Biribiri means shock but a definition of more precision is this: like an electric shock, ripping, rattling

Kuroko's voice is unbearably horrible, just her voice not the character. This ep was good in terms of making a "past" story connect and give some background.

The manga had barely 5 pages of touma in it so I guess all the extra screen time he's getting is fanservice for TAMI/touma fans. I don't mind but the scenes he's in are kinda useless, like fillers.

So in all I'm getting mixed feelings about watching this but if I get to see more misaka railgun then I guess I'll watch it just cuz.

I lol'd at that.


Yeah, to be honest, I haven't seen the parent story of this anime, so I'm liking it just fine as it is. I really enjoy character development, and there doesn't have to be a plot for me to get excited about an episode. The robbery was plenty exciting, plus I like the fact that they really don't lessen the injuries given to the main characters. Getting hit with a car door and tazered is pretty srs biz. Great 24 minutes.

I cannot get enough of this opening.


This word for word. Also, xtra loli Uiharu = <3

Looking forward to next ep~

stepping on her ankle and on her hand was a bit too much, she was only a kid.
For me that part was horrible to watch.


I hope this show will have more plot in the future,the order of the episodes so far doesnt count they are exchangeable.

This episode is the most boring of all episodes in the series imo. Boredom. :(
But I'm surprised i enjoy this show as much as I enjoy To Aru Majutsu no Index. It's very fun. Kuroko is annoying though.
Saten is my type. I think she reminds me of Mio from K-ON. But i don't like when she whines about not having power.

Pretty nice episode but I think the best part was when Misaka used her lightning powers to save Kuroko from Equal speed guy.

Okay so Uihiharu and Kuroko when they were young were so cute. I loved how they made that promise together. I also loved how she can't teleport herself in the past and progresses as time goes by. Just look at her now, she's a master of teleportation! Also loved the senpai's ability. X-ray vision is an awesome power if you use it right. :>

Unfortunately Kuroko's voice didn't change, lol. Didn't get to see some Misaka x Touma either so eh, good episode. not the best but still good.

Uiharu's weakness is unnerving.
I don't get it : why does Judgment recruit elementary school girls? Why would one give the responsability of carrying out justice to a few brats that can't even use their powers right yet? :/

Oh, and the robber supposedly hid the gun in his right pocket and even got his finger on the trigger, yet two seconds later he wields it in his left hand? If he's a lefty, he'd have hidden it in his left pocket, right? :D

I had high expectations for Railgun, can't help but feel a bit disappointed.

Some nice background on Kuroko and Uihara this episode. Still, for an organization called "Judgement" you have to wonder about theirs when they decided to have middle school girls perform law enforcement field work. Even if they do have esper powers, it seems irresponsible but oh well.

Bet that oddly enough, even if it brings a break in the plot and although there is interest in the past of Kazari and Kuroko, I liked it, without being bored while narrative. Drawings well made and funny at times! Promoted!
