| I don't really like the direction this is going. I always see these sorta things. And is getting repetitive. I am watching for that guy to appear with the right hand. This anime has officially been turned to one of those which i would watch during my shower. |
| anyone care to enlighten me about the "FRE | NDA" joke? XD I still have to watch season 1 of Railgun (almost done DLing) and I don't read the novels nor read the manga :( so if there would be someone kind-hearted enough to educate an ignorant like me XD |
...if you're going to say what you want to say, you're going to hear what you don't want to hear... |
| We see some side of Kuroko that rarely exposed this episode. And it look like we will see Mugino and Fre nda next episode. |

| a good filler episode... LOL at saten doing the fast hand moves and sniffing money card... can't wait to see Fre nda and the ITEM next week... xD |
Well, that choice isn't half bad. ... Sorry... I know that's a bad one ): About Mugino: I can't really imagine Kallens VA to fit her personality that well... Was she really that good in the game? |

Amarrez said: JustALEX said: I know Mikoto is doing something important, but... She's still (IMO) kind of abusing Kuroko. She knows that Kuroko would never go against her and she takes advantage of that. Also, I don't know why they didn't have Kuroko help Mikoto, with her Teleportation abilities I'm sure Mikoto could destroy these labs a lot quicker. Misaka won't endanger her friends, or risk them becoming too involved in AC's underbelly. Not to mention if Misaka can't defend herself against Accelerator, then how can she protect others? It's something she needs to do alone (at least for now). On top of that, involving Kuroko here, someone who is a member of Judgment, would ruin continuity for the rest of the series. To say it without spoilers, things would progress quite differently from how they actually do in the manga and in the Index novels/manga/anime. Remember, this is fairly early in the Toaru timeline still. Since it would ruin continuity and also be OOC of Mikoto to get Kuroko to help her out in something so dangerous, horrifying and personal, it seems that the best that J.C. Staff can do to involve the other three main girls and give them screentime is filler like this. Thankfully it is good filler that helps develop the bond between Mikoto and the others (especially Kuroko). Just because Mikoto doesn't want to involve them and will avoid doing so doesn't mean she can't still receive support from them in various ways. The support Kuroko has for Mikoto isn't going by unnoticed, as we saw toward the end of this episode. :) |

| Hm, was a fun episode. Sure I would have preferred it continued the story but at least it had its nice moments. Especially seeing Kuroko being worried was worth watching the episode. |

| The effects of turning a small amount of material into 24 episodes is becoming glaringly obvious. So much filler, comparable to a long running action shounen -_-. I also hate when shows take the view point of someone boring as shit or doing nothing while something interesting is going on. |
| This episode was kind of boring.. but! next episode we gonna see ITEM so i'm happy. |

I also hate when shows take the view point of someone boring as shit or doing nothing while something interesting is going on. The issue is that they are adapting this into probably something like 14-18 episodes as JC Staff is adapting other material. In the manga, the arc is 22 chapters long (monthly chapters, mind you. Not weekly style 18 page chapters) and have only covered about 8 chapters so far. At the same time, this filler was meant to show you another perspective to this arc. Like somebody said, the Railgun anime is NOT solely about Mikoto, |

| certainly could've used more action, but i didn't mind the filler-ish parts. the main story is mixed in enough that it didn't feel like your typical ignore-the-main-plot filler episode that we get from most anime. misaka in a baseball cap wins points by itself, and i always welcome more appearances from serious-kuroko. shirai really pulled at the heartstrings this time. |

Exactly this. There is good filler and there is bad filler. I would easily say that this episode fell into the category good filler. |

| Kind of a waste of an episode... |
| Last week was one of the best Misaka episodes ever and this week was a solid Shirai episode. Just putting it out there: This definitely has the potential to be better than season 1. |
 |
| The episode kinda felt like a filler. Though maybe it's not all too bad to have an episode that would focus on Kuroko and her feelings, since she wouldn't get much screentime otherwise in this arc... |

It felt like a filler cause it WAS a filler. In the manga Misaka immediately goes to destroy facilities, and Kuroko with friends haven't any time to shine. |

I think it's well on its way to being better than season 1. Sometimes you need something on the light side to balance out the darker tones and this episode did that plus provided some nice Kuroko characterization in the process. |

This was always the beauty of Railgun to me - it has a great balance of SOL and action/sci-fi/suspense plots. Season 1 did a great job of incorporating all the filler episodes into the plot by the end, and I hope they do the same here. I don't think it's had a weak episode so far. |

| Good Episode!!! Misaka intends to destroy all the data and materials relating to the experiment and she does her best and even going beyond to try to achieve her objective. This is following the manga quite well and it was good to see Kuroko and the others together helping to find the four-leaf clover for that child. Seems like things will get more serious as Misaka will encounter a powerful enemy pretty soon. Looking forward to seeing ITEM in the next episode!! 5/5 |
  |
| Poor Kuroko being lonely without Misaka to the point where she is willing to help someone else out with their friendship. Well it made for a nice episode but seems she has a right to worry about Misaka from the looks of it that researcher seems to be planing something up ahead. Hope it wont be to bad for Misaka. |
| This episode was kinda sad..I can relate to Kuroko's loneliness ;-; But I can't wait to see ITEM next week! :D |
 |
| Essentially, next week's episode will star Frenda? It'd be nice if they gave us some extra info, like where Fremea is at this point and what not...but ah well. Still hoping for anime original Accelerator + ITEM vs Misaka, Kuroko and Touma... Never hoped for a deviating from source material this badly before. Maybe Accelerator v ITEM v Misaka + Kuroko + Touma is more realistic... Screw it, even just adding Kurorko would be nice... |

JC would really need to mess with Accelerator's and Mugino's personalities to team them up. |
| Slow and warm episode the nice city panorama made it up |
| Ah a filler ep. At least I like they expand on Kuroko's feeling. The anime when overboard with her lesbian tendencies sometimes which is annoying but I glad they actually extend her worries about Mikoto that is shown a bit in manga. I like the scene when she said about the butterfly, it kind of beautiful. The other are meh especially the clover thing. Oh yeah terrorist Mikoto! Damn Item show up next week, the pv are the other thing that is exciting in this ep lol |
 |
| About the episode now,it really didnt need much of the filler.Kuroko's dev was probably good for someone that hasnt already seen Index's Sisters and Remnant arcs but compared to those, here it was really insignificant if not totally useless for someone that as already seen Index. Saten's and Uiharu's "dev" was only in the end so all the other doggie stuff really wasnt needed. Apperantly Saten does have a power...... Preview image in the spoiler Damn no Rikou in the preview...:( |
| Little uneventful, but I didn't dislike it. It really showed us what is going on with Misaka and how the others dealt with it. Looks like there'll be some opponents next episode. They don't look too friendly. |
 |
| Alright episode |
 |
| Slow but not-so-bad episode. So the one's on the OP theme are appearing next week already... looking forward to them :D |
| While Misaka is dealing with the cloning facility. Kuroko and gang get their own personal time. Kuroko getting more development since we haven't' seen her in the past few episodes Misaka destroying the facility like a boss and ITEM appears next week. |
| Saten-san is a DOG. |

| By the way, those of you who watched Index Season 1 should remember this: Yes, this episode and the next few episodes are what she is referring to. |

| I thought this was a pretty nice episode :) It showed the relationship between Misaka and Kuroko. Next episode looks like it's gonna be intense :o Can't wait |
 |
| This episode got a little sappy, but I really enjoyed it. I can tell other people don't, but I personally like how the anime is adding in a good dose of Kuroko and friends, and it is not just Misaka. |
| ooh Onee-sama in a ponytail~ *Kuroko mode on* |
| Bad episode. This show couldn't pull off SoL if its life depended on it. The next episode looks exciting, though. |

LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| Aww Kuroko :(. It was nice to see the other's perspective I guess. And I like Misaka's outfit for destroying those facilities, that hat and ponytail looks great. New girls from the OP appearing next episode oh yeah! |
 |
| That Misaka smirk at the end. Can't wait for next episode. |
 |
| Character building is nice and needed, but this was a terrible time to break the main story. 2/5. |
| So with ITEM joining this anime, almost the whole Chuunibyou main cast are here.... |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

| Wait what. That little boy is actually a girl? I must be blind. |
