That was such a satisfying conclusion, knowing that it's all finally come to an end.

Now, where to from here...Either way, I'm pretty sure they won't jump into whatever the next story will be just yet, so- oh what the heck, I'm so impressed at how the new adaptation of the sisters arc panned out, I almost don't want to see anything more.

That was a beautiful end to an amazing arc.

I see Frenda in the preview for the next episode, so does that mean we will also get to see some Mugino???

So the director gave Index much more time than the one frame in the manga would suggest LOL
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.

Well, that preview was a killjoy to an amazing action-packed MANGA-BASED arc (emphasis on manga-based).

I say cut the SoL and produce Index 3!

I'm keen for a volume 15 adaption! Level 1 vs Level 2!!

If you ask me, it sort of sounds like a remix of sister's noise. And sister's noise sounds like it borrows some elements of "only my railgun". But hey, that's just me. I listened to it a lot

Great end to the Arc
Misaka would have made a bigger mess if you shot the Railgun in the middle of Touma's punch on Accelerator
Biribiri's and Touma's reason to protect the sisters was certainly moving

We really should enjoy all the Frenda we can get while we can though for obvious reasons.

Though i am still hoping they will do Liberal Arts City but lets just wait and see.

Instead of a few mins recap at the start of the episode they really should of used the time to expand Accelerators flashback a bit more that would of been better time used but other than that this was a great finale to the Sisters Arc. Lets see how this season wraps up, i am expecting good things for the rest of it.

Became intense during the first half then a comedy in the 2nd half

For those who watch the index series, is it similar in the railgun series but different perspective? Cause tbh I only watch the index version for several episodes and decided to put it on hold until the railgun s is finished.

And another thing is that i wasn't engaged on the index series until this season came out amazing.

I'll put on a marathon day for index though.

There goes a great ending to a great arc. I'm still dumbfounded at the fact that JC Staff was able to direct and animate something this good. I have high hopes for the next story arc, Liberal Arts City. Until then, let us enjoy a couple of weeks of SoL to wind down from this high tension arc.

My only hope is that they do as good a job with WWIII in Index (IV I assume) as they did with this arc.

Lessar animated FREAKING WHEN???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly, no Lessar until Index III. Lessar making her debut would have been awesome.

Although, I am annoyed they cut this part from the manga


On another note, next episode, the cookie baking and some Frenda.

So the arc of which we knew the ending is over but what will happen next looking forward to it.
A shame we didn't get to enjoy Index bothering Touma mercilessly but i guess we will get to see that in Index three again.

We also didn't get to see the frog doctor this entire season i am starting to miss him hope he makes a appearance soon.
He is probably brewing up his next plan for modifying Touma's body to the ultimate shounen hacks.

Hints.Hints everywhere.Even some words from the second Op along with some scenes from the video(hotels and sea) make it seem like it is a planned to be animated.

"Touma Kamijou is the greatest hero of all time." Well, at least that's what I like to say :P based on my own experiences of watching anime for at least 2 years....
So, basically, to sums it up, Misaka is a tsundere >:D
Anyways, a certain nun makes an appearance....for at least 3 seconds though..

Eh, this ending was a little bit too anticlimatic for my taste. The fight lasted too short, and the epilogue to the arc lasted too long.

Also, I feel like Accelerator is mentally retarded. He should have already known from the previous episode that he's no match for Touma in a hand to hand combat, but he can easily destroy Touma using projectiles. So what does Accelerator do when he sees Touma standing up? He decides to charge full speed at Touma instead of launching debris at him. I'm a little disappointed in him.

Accelerator was not exactly in the best of mental states at this point. Put yourself in his shoes for a bit.

think for a bit bro, acc was controlling almost all the wind in the city to produce that ball, he even said that he couldn't use the wind to anything else. By that he probably meant that he couldn't use the vector change in anything else besides himself, that is why he charged at touMAN.

Plus, he wasnt in his best mental state.

You do remember last episode that the last shrapnel attack Accelerator used on Touma was dodged and got him the hardest punch in the face of that episode right? Accelerator used projectiles in the fight as well they were massive steel beams and Touma managed to dodge, do not underestimate Touma's ability to dodge and read attacks but i will leave it at that since anymore will be going into spoilerish territory.

Though yes Accelerator was not thinking that clearly and was somewhat stubborn about crushing Touma in CQC since Touma breaking through was like a challenge and a mark on Accelerators pride. You could see at the end of the fight when Touma stood up that it shook Accelerator and made him falter Touma really shook Accelerator up in many ways.

Epic conclusion to the fight. He broke his freaking finger and busted his face on last time. To think he still had the strength for that. Accelerator on the other hand, was mentally exhausted.

So Mikoto did make Touma self made cookies afterwards, but she couldn't even give them in the end since her tsun mode was still in control. Her little bit of dere in the end was too cute. It's gonna be a while before she'll be honest with her feelings though. ^^

And so this is the end of the sisters arc. Next episode doesn't seem like it's any arc in particular (I did spot Frenda though), but it won't be long before we'll be seeing (that annoying) Misaki again.

Finally, after 6 drawn out episodes the sisters arc is over (counting from vending machine point onwards). I wouln't have minded it so much if they actually followed Misaka's point of view but honestly most of these 6 episodes were more from Toma's point of view and we basically already saw that in the Index counterpart (which had better pacing imo).

Who cares about proper writing and development right?
Btw we SAW what Misaka was doing.Unless if you wanted to see more scenes of her moping or walking on sidewalks.Which was what she was doing during most of the later part,after the Tree Diagram ep.

Lol at the pace part.

I never really cared for the sister arc and yes, i would have rather seen her moping around and seeing her friends speculations about what was bothering her than see -yet again- Toma's part in resolving this arc.

The pacing of the sister arc was fast in the Index series but i'd prefer fast pacing over something we already seen than to see it again but drawn out. Maybe i was the only one who actually wanted to see the sister arc over (in the railgun series) so that we could see new things with Misaka and her crew

Eh. Thought its good to see fresh material, its good to see a mistake rectified into an enjoyable segment. The Sister's arc in the Index Anime was like Instant noodle, fast and tasteless, I didn't give a shit about it at all.

Railgun S, is like that thick, flavorful and detailed Tonkotsu soup that takes hours to brew~ But the satisfaction you get when you finish it just can't compare.

Having mistakes in directing in the past changed is great!

The first season of Index which was what the sister Arc then was from aired back in 2008 it is now 2013 which is a more than a large enough gap for this to retold and rather differently and so much better, it is not like it aired last year or it is the endless 8 or something. They did tell it from Misaka's point of view this time hell did you forget about all the previous episodes involving destroying labs and ITEM? they also showed things from Accelerators point of view at times and fleshed him out more as well (which is good for Railgun only watchers because we wont get his meeting with Last Order). They told the complete and full story this time and did the fight how it was actually meant to be shown unlike the index anime fight which is rather different and quite lacking in comparison. The animation, OST, composition and pacing were all better the VA was top notch with Misaka's VA pulling off something truly moving on the bridge scene, everything was just better. Also i seem to remember the Accelerator fight lasting 2 episode in the Index anime and the bridge taking up a whole episode as well so what are you on about?

This arc is the best thing we have ever gotten out of the Raildex animes and you complain about it? Confirmed for shit taste and goes to prove people will always complain no matter what you do, poor JC Staff they really pulled it off this time and still can not please everyone.
