THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So, I guess we get a mini anime-only arc (or is this in the light novel but not the Railgun manga?) before the Imouto arc.

Also loved OP and ED.

I'm interested in how that machine limits abilities. Does it mess with their brainwaves à la level upper, or does it just affect their concentration?

The Milk Man has pretty awesome skills.

Though I've said this plenty of times in the beginning, but once again, this is probably the last time I'm watching the first airing, since a new semester is starting, and I probably won't be dropping this class that conflicts with Railgun. It was fun watching it online. I guess I'll have to settle for speedsubs.

why the ED is so HHHHNNNNNNNGHHH...?
and, a original arc is fine too... sadly i can't talk too much based on screencaps only. waiting the RAW meanwhile
EDIT: watching the episode... nice OP, looks like we're gonna have less Touma and more Kiyama-sensei. "Milk-guy" is awesome... i think i'm gonna drink more milk, lol
All the episode was great, my score for this episode is 9/10!

Why everyone want Imouto arc so badly? Is it that much different from what was shown in Index?
New OP song was nice, the animation was kinda boring. Very small cameo of Index here and no Touma.

I like this arc so far. Again we have to deal with people without "skills", but now they come as a gang of delinquents. The capacity limiter idea is good, but was solved too quickly by milk man.
It was very predictable up to some point, especially that Konori and the milk man knew each other. I had to laugh when milk man hinted at Misaka/Kuroko's breasts and told he knew someone with such breasts before (which should be Konori, obviously)
So the swimsuit episode was already preparing for the next arc :P

Liked the OP and the beginning was promising, but after all too quickly resolved.
It was obvious that Konori and Big Spider are linked, but how did the breast remark relate to Konori?

Big Spider reminds me of Gintoki, it would be strawberry milk then of course.

Saten knows Skill Out's feeling. There's no use even if they tried their best to rise their level and wants to throw everything out/abandon the city.

Uiharu is worried, Saten said she won't abandon this city.


At this scene it seemed like Saten will eventually abandon the city and become an enemy at some point...

What was shown in Index only came form Touma's point of view. In Railgun's sister arc, It shows in Mikoto point of view which has more details and has a lot of new characters (One of them is another lv 5) that you never seen in Index's sister arc.

I think it safe for you to read Sister arc in Railgun manga since anime won't go that way.

P.S. They may keep sister arc for second season. (If they will do it)

Oh god it is, what was shown in Index is like nothing.

The arc start way before Touma start to meddle with Misaka's affair and will probably continue after the Touma Vs Accelerator.

Well it was to be expected since the arc is not over in the manga. It is still better than if they made the imouto arc and did an anime only ending, this way we'll probably get imouto arc latter as a second season.

Cool episode.

The new OP animation is great but the song is nothing special. The new ED is good in general. Might not be as catchy as dear my friend but it got a nice atmosphere.

Not too shabby new opening though the old one was more 'catchy' and fitting if you ask me.
Cool episode and I love that Kurozuma guy, he got balls and fighting skills to match up with it :D
Also a friend of mine have an almost identical tattoo, it's on the left side though and the spider is more of an black widow shape. The one in the anime looked more like an ant^^
But his whole tattoo is coloured in different shades of black and red as was Kurozuma's.

One thing that bugged me though is that no one noticed that Konori was troubled, I mean anyone with at least some basic skill in perception should have figured out at the very beginning that she new the guy who did this and most likely used to be a part of this spider gang..

Tough there is really no hint about the imouto arc in the op =/.
I'm pretty much sure they'll finish with a filler arc.

Mmm. New OP and new ED. Fun stuff.
Fight animation was pretty smooth, but this seems like it's going to be an iffy filler. The plot was easy to figure out about 1/4 the way through the show, especially when they focused on the "Love umbrella" that was carved on the metal railing on that rooftop. Either way, I still enjoyed it.

...Did anyone else want Onee-sama to totally kick their asses and save Kuroko? No? Because I did. ._.

Edit: "Oh my, taking me by force..."
"Shirai-san... looks happy."
I lol'd.

Teehee. I feel your pain.

The OP is good, I liked the animation for it, especially the action scenes with Mikoto, but still prefer the old song though. Nice they went with fripside again.. it's good exposure and promotion for their new vocalist. However, I wasn't that fond of the ED, those pink and green outlines made it a bit too SHAFT looking, not that that's normally a bad thing..

This episode was a filler? Hm, for a filler it was a quite impressive one.

Another good episode, for now it's my favorite of the airing series. New OP is good, nice animation but song isn't as good as "Only my railgun" ...

Definitely saw that!! It made me smile.

I liked the episode though it definitely is far from one of my favorites. The new OP was nice but I liked the old one better >_>. I think I'll hold judgement until next episode though because this one effectively accomplished nothing in my eyes.

And am I the only one that wishes Saten could level up?! I hope she does by the end of the series!!
