| Nice.. can't wait for the next ep between Misaka and Accelerator! I'm gonna miss MISAKA! She is so adorable. And the faces she make is so cute. I wanna hug her. |
dniv said: This is also way less worse than Index III would be if it were true to the LN's in adaptation (well maybe)... and the rest of Index... I mean think about Meltdowner and Dark Matter... (not specifying anything about that though)... But... I kind of just noticed. Season 2 for both Index and Railgun give us introductions to two different perspectives of Academy city darkness, even though Railgun season 3 will probably do better... Anyway, waiting for next episode is unfair... actually... Well even Index 1 had enough darkness,but it was centered around the magic side. What I want to say is that the Level 6 project that Accelerator takes part in is one of the "softer" tragedies. If JC ever screwed up n the adaptations is in showing us that both sides are messed up.And the Angel Fall arc but anyway..... |

 |
| Holy Crap. Even though I know already what happens, it still was pretty touching. |
| I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe. |
| Best ep of Railgun ever. Dat censor bar. |
| Accelerator finally makes his appearance. He's a real bad ass. |
 |
| That was the best episode of Railgun so far, absolutely no question. I had hoped that Touma would save her as I can't really remember his first confrontation with Accelerator other than that he beat the teeth out of his face in a similar setting. It's a shame about MISAKA, she was ridiculously likable in this episode and I really wish she'd made it. Given this episode it's hard to remember the way we come to like Accelerator in Index, we do tend to forget that he killed a lot of MISAKAs before he gained a moral compass. To be honest until this episode I found Railgun to be a little so-so, but it's shown us that Academy City isn't all about pleasant dispositions and average goings on. 5/5, no question. |
| Hachikuji: Araragi-san, you don't look even the least bit apologetic. You should at least say something after touching a girl's delicate chest! Araragi: *Clueless look* Thanks? Bakemonogatari, Episode 5. |
| So this emo teenager is Accelerator, that brat really got an annoying voice and clihcé personality. Also, random guy driving a truck, sees 2 random twins arguing: stop the car, threats them to ice cream? Ok. |

I swear it looked like she wanted to punch the shit out of him I loved every part of the episode And ah so many Accelerator fans, I know all what he goes through later in the story but I still don't forgive him. |

That voice won 2 Seiyu Awards.Whats cliche about being the antagonist that beats everyone with his powers?

Considering that the Sisters were also trying to kill him and that But he still is a huge idiot for not realizing that |
| Accelerator: |
| Do people ever read the synopsis of the series they watch?It is pretty clear. And yes it is Misaka's POV +a lot of new content. |
| Accelerator: |
mootjuh said: Soo.. this is pretty much Misaka's view of the Sisters arc that was already in Index? Yep. We get to see what was barely hinted at in the Index version and lots of new content, like It's going to be epic. I estimate that the Sisters Arc will take up till roughly through episode 12 of this season. Depends on the pacing and what they have planned for the second half. |
| This is what I've been waiting for this season. It reminded me Accelerator was such a asshole before the events of Index II. Either way, he is the best character in the series. More Misaka and Accelerator, less everyone else (although bit of Kuroko is good). |
| This surprised me in a good way, I don't remember this show being so gory before. This had impact, well done J.C. Staff! Accelerator was a asshole in this episode but he should turn into a cool guy, I can't wait till the shit starts to happen. This is getting tense and with 19 episodes to go this will (probably) be good! |

I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
Considering that the Sisters were also trying to kill him and that But he still is a huge idiot for not realizing that his actions in the future won't bring back the sisters The events in NT 6 bring that up when he's reminded that no matter what he does, he'll never be really forgiven |
|
| That was so good. I have nothing more to say than that. |
| Great episode and R.I.P poor Misaka sister #9982. Misaka Mikoto has 0% chance to win against the Accelerator , it will only be a waste of time. |
 |
| So many feels watching this episode ... I haven't seen something this heart-wrenching since Steins;Gate and Madoka Magica a couple years ago. It really shows the dark, horrific side of the academy city, and captures Mikoto's shock and anguish in such a piercing way. Also, a little random, but I like how the writers have managed to keep a place for Haruue Erii in the story, even while adapting material from the original work. |
| 誰も、未来を信じない |
| God this was F'n good. probably the best To Aru episode ever. Damn I feel sorry for MISAKA she was pretty cool, gonna miss her. |
| This episode was astounding. Man I forgot how cruel Accelerator was, he is still awesome him though. |

| Unreal, very intense at the end....excellent job by J.C Staff. 5/5 |
| Now I stopped like accelerator |
| Now I get where we are in Index! Railgun is not only a spin-off but also some sort of prequel. This episode was absolutely great, J.C. Staff is doing a very good job on everything here. You gotta love the BGM's! |
| hmm, it is just me or |
kesang said: hmm, it is just me or Copy paste from the Timeline of Index Wikia. The sister that was with Touma that Accelerator later killed, is #10031.The sister here is #9982. smyro said: But you already knew his role in the experiment,right?What was shown in this ep that was new for you?Now I stopped like accelerator And ripping a leg and throwing a train on you(instant death)is surely way better than reversing the blood flow. |

| I just realized, killing one sister every night will still take 54.8 years to finish 20000. Assuming that its already been a year since the experiments started, Accelerator would've had to kill around 27 sisters everyday to have killed 10000 already. Guessing from this episode's fight, it takes 5-30 minutes to kill a sister. So he's potentially spending 13.5 hours everyday killing sisters. Accounting for sleep time and travelling to the difference experiment locations, he probably only has 1-2 hours for himself everyday. Conclusion: Accelerator has no life. |
| I really liked the clone, too bad she had to die. Looking forward to the next episode. |

Experiments 00001 to 9802 were done inside the facilities.They were moved to the outside in May.There are 180 remaining sisters up to #9982 for 107 days.He has a lot of free time. But yeah during the experiments his life is:killing sisters-> drinking coffee->sleeping and repeat. |

But yeah during the experiments his life is:killing sisters-> drinking coffee->sleeping and repeat. After rewatching the episode a total of 13 times, I still think it's pretty much perfect lolz. My only concern if valid is that the subs quote Misaka 9982 as saying I think blah blah blah one time instead of saying Misaka thinks blah blah blah, but that is just being nitpicky, the Japanese dub did it correctly. They really did this episode perfectly. I am excited to see a similar level of animation for Index III, that would be crazy. The level of detail: like Uiharu's room is crazy if you pause each frame. Absolutely everything in the episode is of the highest quality and I mean putting endymion in the background for 3 episodes already is a nice touch as well. My only concern: can they top this performance. They made a pretty much perfect adaptation. If they adapt everything else perfectly than maybe: but it will be hard ;p. Anyway, after seeing this we should all have faith. That was absolutely incredible. Accelerator looks way better now with the new animation and we get to see an animated investigation of some of his backstory (not a lot of it), which is still very nice and enjoyable. I feel like Accelerator doesn't always take 5-30 minutes anyway. He can finish it in 5 seconds if he wanted to, he just takes longer (to level up). You haven't seen him when he's trying yet... I prefer his appearance in Index 1.Sure he had long hair but not that long and messed. His appearance IndexIII(if ever made)>IndexII>Index>Railgun. He can kill them in 1 sec after the start.He takes so long because What I liked about him in the adaptation is that when the experiment is over he sounds bored/uninterested while in the manga he seemed happy(or that was the way I read the translation) |

| 5? 10? Way off the mark, Onee-sama. There's more than 20,000 of you out there. Or at least that much slated for production. Such is the bloody beginning of the Sisters Arc, from The Railgun's point of view. From the moment #9982 bid her original farewell, she was off to her inevitable doom. Knowing the Sisters Arc from the Index side of things, we already know up to what number will the experiment stop. Thus knowing #9982 was inevitably going to die kept me from fully enjoying the light-hearted moments with Mikoto. R.I.P. MISAKA #9982 (she had an interesting personality) - and all the other Sisters whose number falls in the gap that will come after her. At this point, Accelerator is practically impossible to defeat without the use of a certain someone's h4x ability or getting him distracted in computing something else to even land a blow on him. Even knowing how unstoppable he is in this time frame, I'd still want to see Mikoto "spar" with him as it appears next episode. J.C. Staff really outdid themselves with this episode. Sure pulled all the stops there. |

| No matter how many times i see sisters arc.. whenever now in railgun or the parent story index.. I still hate how sisters are being used and brutally murdered.. And 1 of characters I really hate is Accelerator .. makes his return. Well.. he is kinda mad cuz of experiments, so he kinda got "softer" in index series.. since he met quite some people.. But nevertheless.. i still dont like him.. |
 |
| Even though this feels like a repeat for the sisters experiment . this is still really good ! |
| LET JUSTICE BE DONE; THOUGH THE HEAVENS MAY FALL |
| Best episode of the series so far. Accelerator's debut definitely made the experience a lot more epic. |
 |
| i did check the manga till this arc but..... holy fuck holy motherfucking son of a fuck. D: |
 |
| Shit just got real. Haven't read the manga and I must say this surprised me like hell. I had even gotten to like the clone, she was pretty awesome. And I think this is the first time we saw blood in all Railgun and Railgun S? |
| yeah... accelerator makes his appearance again. next week will be blast!!! |
 |
| That was really grim. As someone mentioned earlier, knowing how the experiments end makes it tough to watch, especially when MISAKA is such a likeable, light-hearted, sweet, silly girl. And that 'sayonara' was really wrenching. I can't think of another show that does such a good job of blending the most monstrous activities with what is typically a fun and happy show. Weird closing sequence. Haven't seen that before in an anime. They did a good job with the music. |
| Well then. This show just got unexpectedly dark. |
