1000 points up for Accelerator!

I literally cried, at the part where that one lady was in the hospital, and he talked about her heart vessel being saved.

Can't wait to see more Loli Misaka and Accelerator development.

Honestly, Accelerator would a main character much better than Touma.

Was rather heart warming.

Last Order was too adorable.

So there was some good in that boy after all, I wonder if this was the last we did see oh him though hearing that he got pretty banged up.
And by the sound of things it would take some time and effort to heal him again.

Liked the doctors part too, seems likehe is a really knowledgeable and skilled old man, even though he got a bit funny appearance =P

I so teared up, I really want to see some more development between Accelerator and Last Order! I seriously loved this arc more than the whole series. This arc also ended with THAT DAMN DOCTOR! Roflll, not looking forward to another ep without Accelerator now~

Guess it's another spin off T_T I actually enjoyed this arc a lot more than the whole 18 episode before...

Damn it Accelerator, don't die on me man. If you die, you're fucking ugly. He got a heart afterall. I thought he's just one of those serial killers with no heart. YOU GO ACCELERATOR!

Not only he saved the life of that researcher girl but also the life of Last Order. Fuck man, he's good. The guy researcher got pwned badly. At first when he thought Accelerator was dead, he was laughing like a chicken, but after Accelerator stood up, he kinda like cried, lmfao.

Looking forward to Accelerator and Last Order Misaka development although that wouldn't happen if Accelerator died, so DOCTOR, FUCKING SAVE HIM AIGHT?

I didn't like this episode. Every scene on this one were damn predictable.

Every story arc ends in the same way on this show. To save the world, someone has to be sacrificed but a good guy finds a way to save the world without sacrificing her. Instead, the good guy seems to be dead but he wakes up in the hospital, cured by Dr. Frog.

Although, this also makes sense. I actually didn't think about it, but yeah. The doctor is too good to be true -- he must have some super esper ability, no?

I still really liked the episode!

A really amazing episode indeed. I did really like, and also found really heart-warming how our cold, psycho villain ended up turning a good guy for the adorable girl Last Order is. Also... it is true that this show has its predictable parts, but this doesn't go for all of it, specially in this episode. At the last of it, I did really think Accelerator was dead, twice.

On a side note, did someone else notice that Last Order's personality source code was HTML for what appears to be a book site?

You save two lives even though your brain got damaged afterwards. Can't wait to see more of Accelerator with Touma though.

New ED's OK I guess. Don't know why they'd change the ED for just the last four episodes though. =S

Next episode's going to introduce a lot of new character it seems! =O

I gotta say, I did think Accelerator was dead for a second. The guy was just awesome in this episode. The way he wanted to save Last Order and redeem himself was just... so heartwarming. And when they the doctor said he was the one that saved the researcher by controlling the blood flow I really felt like crying. I hope he'll be alright. I'd also like to see more of Last Order. I don't think I'll ever get tired of Misaka clones - they're all awesome thought the original is not a bad character herself.

Well, I liked it because it actually created some "mystery" on the background of the doctor - I wonder if he's actually a Magician or Esper. Also, TECHNICALLY Accelerator was a bad guy before he turned good, soo..

Why did that guy who stole little Misaka drive right into Accelerator? Doesn’t he know his power? Why not turn the car around and drive the other way? And what up with the little clone Misaka? She’s definitely more of a robot than a clone. Am I right? I’m calling bullshit on this, they are not clones, they are freaking robots from the way they act/ their maintenance, etc. It would have made more sense if they just called them robots. Also, how come that crazy guy Amai just conveniently had a spare loaded gun in his pocket after his first one got blown away? Who carries two guns with them like that? Bullshit! How is it that Accelerator cares so much for this on little girl when he has cruelly slaughtered 10,000 of her? To me it looked like he enjoyed killing the Misakas’ up until then. Now all of a sudden he’s actually cares so much that he’s going to give his life to protect her? If he actually cared in the first place, then he shouldn’t have killed the 10,000 Misakas’ that he did. It’s not like someone forced him to kill the Misakas right? He’s the strongest after all, who could possibly force him? And why did that researcher girl take her time to talk and give a chance for Amai to shoot her like that? Not only did she almost throw her life away, but what would’ve happened to Accelerator and the girl if she died and they didn’t make it to the hospital? Freaking stupid person… Also another thing that’s bullshit is the fact that accelerator was able to stop her from dying while lying on the floor unconscious. Another thing that really bothers me is how they were able to make it to the hospital when no one else was there to take them there. There are so many plot holes that it’s disgusting. This little review of this one episode is reason enough why animes should seriously consider improving their logic/ the logic they want the audience to buy into. Just saying, this aspect of the anime needs serious refinement.

What's weird is that the show basically acted like we have an understanding of the two scientists relationship....when we clearly don't . Either it's just bad writing or this all is going to somehow going to be important going forward. The doctor practically screams "important", though. Either way, I wasn't that crazy for this episode.

Eh, the novels go much more in depth about pretty much everything in the series, so blaming the writing probably isn't fair. You can probably blame the Anime though.
The arcs before God's Right Seat begins are seemingly irrelevant to each other, but that GRS arc ties this stuff back into it.

Yeah, my bad. By "writing" I meant adapting to the anime. I should probably check out the novels sometime. I kind of get the feeling I'll end up liking the novels much more..like how I feel about Fate/stay.

I highly recommend the novels. The Anime is kinda meh for the most part, and at times quite painful to watch. The novels, on the other hand, are some of my favorites, mostly for volumes 12 through 22.

Vote down for not giving enough time to this arc is just a stopgap for not addressing the main story and lengthen the stock! But to save this episode is the ending a little on edge makes us stay just long enough to worry about ! Accelerator is rehabilitated and thanks to that, we also have the Railgun series of S to show us again the sisters, who knows if you'll see even the small Misaka!

Meh. Some cute moments, but the whole Heel/Face Turn was pretty lame, and Wow, this show is really getting stupid about not killing characters.
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

For a minute I thought MISAKA said Mamasa Mamakusa xD But this episode proves that Accelerator has a heart (Or he found his heart in the form of a loli.)

Also mad props for him. He is now Officially a good guy. An all it took was a loli. Lolis are the keys to world peace!
