| The scene which stood out the most for me in this episode was the Background Monologue of Accelerator, how they handled it was superb. |
Izayoi’s personal philosophy is “To suppress and control both the strong and weak.” |
| "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.. |
 |
| I'm GAR for Touma. |
| Great end to the arc. Let the SoL begin! |
 |
| 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. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |

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

| Probably the best episode of this series, though I didn't really understand the point of the Index cameo. |

| Wow the episode ended off really well! "See you around Misaka" |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| lololol...the misaka sisters are just too awesome "pfft" |
| Epic! And I want more romantic moments! x3 I'd be amazing if they become a couple but I wouldn't be surprised if it never happens with this kind of (shounen-like) story, you know what I mean. |
| Accelerator got owned twice in CQC so of course he thinks he can get a half dead touma with more CQC I thought he was suppose to be a genius. Why can't he kick more pebbles? |
| What a great way to end a fantastic arc<3. J.C Staff can do anything they want now IMO, but I was still hoping for some of the next arc in Railgun manga to be adapted. As long as I get my Misaka<3 |
 |
| There better be follow through on the romance, or this will suck |

RightToLeft said: Accelerator got owned twice in CQC so of course he thinks he can get a half dead touma with more CQC I thought he was suppose to be a genius. Why can't he kick more pebbles? 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. |

I'm a little disappointed in him. 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. @topic really great episode, way better than the one in index 1. Looking forward to the SoL episode =) what do you mean? |

| Lol when accelerator's fingers broke. I find clone misaka more attractive hahaha than the original misaka Lol i guest new opening and ed next ep |
| That background monologue of Accelerator was nicely done... and when Touma broke Accelerator's fingers OUCH! also Misaka's tsundere moment at the end with Touma :D Perfect arc ending, I hope we'll see more of Touma in the next episodes too. |

musica123 said: 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. |
| FRENDA ! wooo didn't think we would see ITEM again so soon |

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! |

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 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. |

| Sweet... but too bad she did not give the cookies. And Kuroko! I miss her. Glad this arc ended. Overall a very good arc. |
musica123 said: Well, if you actually read my original post, you'd see that im counting from the vending machine point on-words. I consider everything from lab destruction pre-sister arc...lets face it, when sister acr is mentioned, I'm not thinking of Misaka vs ITEM. I think of Toma vs Accelerator. Therefore, as ive said, i consider Misaka destroying labs as pre-sister arc and count the sister arc starting from the vending machine point on-words. See, i understand and appreciate the build up, but the build up and the main event are NOT the same thing. Misaka destroying the labs is a build up to the sister arc. Now who's the one with shit taste that can't distinguish two different things. What in the actual fuck are you going on about? The whole reason Misaka was destroying labs and being attacked by ITEM was because of the sisters this was the whole driving force for her since episode 6. The sister arc has started ever since episode 2 and you truly are a retard if you even try and deny that, it can not be considered anything but the sister arc what else could it be? The very first scene of episode 2 is a flash back to Misaka as a young child being convinced to give access to her DNA map the very reason for the sisters creation in the first place. Get this through you blind head episode 2-16 is the sister arc it is not even up for discussion it is fact there is no pre-sister arc there is simply the sister arc which like you tried to deny earlier was told from Misaka's point of view, this is where the sister arc starts from Misaka's point of view which is the entire point of this Railgun adaption of the sister arc. You complain you wished it was from Misaka's point of view but you then say "oh the sisters arc is only from the vending machine" you just contradict yourself and ignore the very sister arc from Misaka's point of view itself. You just pretty much said only Touma's part is the sister arc then say you wished it showed it from Misaka's perspective which it did from the vending machine point on as well it just showed you Touma's point in certain scenes as well which were taken from the Index novel. They blended the Railgin Manga and Index novel very well from the point when Touma got involved. To spell this out for you one more time because apparently someone whacked you with the stupid stick. MISAKA'S point of view of the sisters arc starts from episode 2 and her point of view is continued to be shown even after the vending machine episode all the way to the end of the arc but it also shows Touma's and Accelerator's point of view at times as well to give more depth and because they blended the manga and the novel. Touma vs Accelerator is just the climax of the arc hell it was the climax back in the original index novel as well there was always more to the arc than just Touma fighting Accelerator if that is all you ever took from it then it is your fault for being that shallow. |

| I thought this series really ended this part well. I was kinda dissapointed when she didn't give the cookies though. Didn't anyone else find the two sister's playing on the swings and guessing who was older super cute? x333 I can't believe she faked a laugh! xDDD hahaha and even though u could tell from a mile away it was gonna be heartwarming it was still cute. =3 Does anyone else think that Mikasa looks absolutely sexy with long hair? xD zomg. x.x *reviews episode flashbacks* xD |
| Okay JC, you delivered so much with this first half that you can do whatever you want with the remaining episodes and I won't even be mad. |

yeokso said: Such an amazing episode. It really does feel like they could just end the whole season right here. But I highly doubt anyone here wants that. xD No, next is Liberal Arts City (after a few SoL episodes). There's too much material in the Daihaseisai Arc (Railgun ver.) to squeeze into 8 episodes. Not to mention, the arc is nowhere near complete, especially with dniv said: Well said, buddy.Reply (post 101) |

| That wraps up the Sisters Arc, Railgun edition. Pretty electrifying if I may say so. That swing scene ruined Mikoto's little drama moment, but I had a laugh at the fact that the Testament also taught the Sisters some rather frivolous information... how to swing while standing up? Okay. lol Man, I really hoped Mikoto could have given Touma those cookies. I'm sure that would have given reason for Touma not to say "fukou da" at the end of that day at least. Also, Index cameo. I guess we can expect a new OP/ED next episode. I also expect that we'll be back to the usual SoL antics with the girls, Railgun style. |
