| I've heard people apparently didn't like this series because of the filler, but having recently seen it myself, I have no idea what you're complaining about. I don't recall there being any filler in this show. |

| There’s a lot of filler though? IIRC, I think it was like this: S1 Level Up Arc is canon, the second part of Season 1 (After Episode 14) is filler. The OVAS/Extras & Specials are fillers. S2 Sisters Arc is canon, everything after Episode 16 is filler. If we take into account that “Filler” is everything that is Anime Original then, 18 Episodes are not canon. S3 drastically improved this, hence why the reception was much better. Also because Misaki was finally part of the show. But yes, filler, there’s a lot, therefore people that just wanted content from the source material tend to dislike it. If it was good or bad then that is a different question. |

| i only watched one season of railgun right after watching the first season of index, and quite honestly every other episode felt like filler, and it just drags out for so long. index was significantly better. |

If it was good or bad then that is a different question. thats quite wrong tbh after the level upper arc there's the big spider arc which is 15 an 16 and the poltergeist arc which is the rest of s1 both of which are anime originals and not in the manga cuz there wasn't enough material at the time. The only filler I see is probably the big spider arc And s2 has practically no filler with the silent party arc right after the sisters arc just like with the case of s3 with the dahasei festival and dream ranker arcs Wait what? Sorry I got lost. What do you think is filler then? The question should have started from that point. So from your point of view, filler is only the things that are inconsequential or something, like beach episodes or something alike, I suppose. Then by that definition then yes, you are correct. However, if we consider filler, ANYTHING that is not in the manga, which is what I was talking about or referring to, then the list is bigger. The reason why people dislike S1 & S2 (Some aspects of them, not the season as a whole) is because of the amount of material that does not exist in the manga. Like this: SEASON I: 1 Electromaster MC (MANGA CANON) 2 When Working Under a Hot Sun, Rehydration is Essential MIXED CANON/FILLER 3 Tokiwadai is Targeted F (FILLER) 4 Urban Legends MC 5 A Certain Pair of New Trainees MC 6 Everyone is Proactive When it Comes to This MC 7 Abilities and Powers MC 8 Level Upper MC 9 Majority Report MC 10 Silent Majority MC 11 Dr. Kiyama MC 12 AIM Burst MC 13 A Bikini Divides the Eyeline Between Top and Bottom, But a One-piece Shows Off the Figure, so They Only Flatter the Slender F 14 Special Workshop F 15 Skill Out AO (ANIME ORIGINAL) 16 Academy City AO 17 Tsuzuri's Summer Vacation F 18 Asunaro Park F 19 Midsummer Festival F 20 Poltergeist AO 21 Voices AO 22 Level 6 AO 23 What Is It You See In Your Eyes Right Now?

| So I only picked up the Manga from where S2 left off, so I actually wasn't aware that so much in S1 & S2 was Anime Original/Filler. But in my opinion, it really doesn't make a difference? The way I see it, each season of Railgun usually has 2 halves with a boss battle at the end (maybe some unrelated episodes inbetween). And usually the first half of each season is the better one. This also applies to S3 where everything is canon. I mean yeah that Kaiju fight was neat, but it cannot compare to Touma & Sugiita vs Mikoto. Honestly everything that happened in S3 after the Daihasei Festival Arc, was as good/bad as all the Anime Original/Filler stuff that occurred in the previous 2 seasons. But thats just my opinion ^^" |

(stuff which the author has considered cannon even though it's not in the manga) |
| Like the post above says, I greatly prefer the second and third seasons. I don't mind slice of life stuff buy I don't think the toaru series is really conducive to that. Later seasons of railgun seriously ramp up the production quality and cover content with higher stakes, better world building, and arcs way more relevant to the plot as a whole |
