That is nothing more than your personal opinion, sales are the real test of popularity (or lack thereof) of a certain series if anything is lacking (plot, animation, character design, special effects, etc) then sales will suffer. Talking about quality is playing the "what I like is quality, what is popular is garbage" card. |

GuiltyKing said: Yes they did. The episode began on the morning of the 27th. Misaka Imouto met Febri when they were sleeping, in other words, the early hours of the 27th.Didn't they spend a whole night in the hospital, watching over filler-loli? And if not, then when did the scene with MISAKA imouto meeting filler-loli happen? The day didn't seem to change because the sun is still shining brightly throughout the episode. That's why I said the day was so long and it's still the same day. Though Kongou said they were searching for the man "the other day" instead of "yesterday" so this is probably the next day already, the 28th. Either way, it doesn't matter. This arc has became a mess already and this detail won't change things. |

So people dropping the series and the rank falling is my own personal opinion.And all those accounts that post on how much this arc sucks are all my alt accounts right? Twilight sold,SAO sold.And they arent what you call quality stories. Turning Railgun into a moe fest,because that is what it is right now,yes it is garbage.No actually it is worse, it is a pile of shit. |

ssjokg said: So people dropping the series and the rank falling is my own personal opinion.And all those accounts that post on how much this arc sucks are all my alt accounts right? All those opinions are irrelevant, because there is no such thing as a negative sale, it does NOT matter how many people disliked a series, it is all about how many people DID liked what they saw (and buy it). To make it even more irrelevant, very few people on the west buy at all any japanese DVD/BD releases, no matter how much the english speaking audience dislikes a series, so even if you infect them with your dislike for a series, it will not affect sales (wait for the english release if you want your comments to have any effect at all. Twilight sold,SAO sold.And they arent what you call quality stories. Translation for the readership at large "ssjokg did not like Twilight nor SAO". BTW, I do not like Twilight, but hell will froze over a million times before I waste my time going to a message board of that franchise to tell them about my disgust of said franchise and how low the sales will therefore be, that would be delusional (and a waste of time and energy) to say the least. Turning Railgun into a moe fest,because that is what it is right now,yes it is garbage.No actually it is worse, it is a pile of shit. I watched in one go the first Railgun season (with the specials) before starting to watch this and it was from the start a show about "cute (ESP powered) girls doing cute thing", the moe was there from episode 1, you might have put on your goggles to ignore the fact (until it hit you like a ton of bricks), but that is not the show fault. |
| Except that nobody cares about the sales.The story is what matters and its quality wont change whether it sells well or not.A series can have a great story and sell badly or have a bad story and sell well.Everything after ep16 was far from decent except for a few scenes that are nothing except that.Just scenes. I liked SAO but it isnt as good as Railgun or Index when written by a capable author. Season 1 had two arcs that didnt ruin the chars or the story.Having them doing cute things didnt ruin it because that wasnt the focus of the series. Season 2 has an arc that ruins the chars,the story and has nothing but moe chars doing moe things. This will probably change after the next ep and we will finally get some plot.Even if that plot messes everything canon it is better than nothing.But I am not expecting much. |

| Well, given how crappy the first season anime original arc was, this arc is actually bit better because we got a loli... oh wait... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| If Mikoto was going to tell anyone and get them to help, why didn't she tell her massively parallel-computing sister network? I mean hell, she identified a prime suspect just based off subtle biases in Febri's speech pattern... |

Compared to all the other lolis that are in Raildex i think Febri is probably bottom of the pile, they can not even give us a decent loli in this crappy original arc lol. |

| Fuck, you people are worse with willy-nilly spoilers than the fucking SnK board... This arc ain't so bad. At least it isn't Misaka running around being dumb. |

Misaka is able to fight a It is irrelevant but you still used it first and now again? The Amakusa didnt have the slightest chance of standing up to Acqua?Yes they did since they did very well.And they were already involved.The Amakusa and everyone else in the magic side was already involved in the And you are basically saying that it doesnt matter the outcome(which wont be good) as long as they are there to help Misaka. Now explain to me how well would Misaka and co do against SCHOOL,ITEM,GROUP,and a number of Kiharas without only Misaka getting out alive.Because if we call darkness only the "evil council" of this arc then sure no problem in getting them involved. |
| I liked it. Sounds like some of you guys need to stop thinking so hard and stop analysing every little detail, as it seems to be killing your enjoyment of the show. Love the passion though! |
| An okay episode, just trying to find a cure for Febri about the poison in her body being spread. Well at least her lollipops are there only option but pretty rare to find, well for the next 72 hours. The endings have a few surprises and I can't wait for next week's episode |
| A loli that needs lollipops to survive... |
 |
| This arc has some lame gimmicks and some cringe worthy dialogue, but at least things are heating up. |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| It shouldn't be but I actually shed tears in this episode - I guess seeing how Misaka actually changed from her "have to go it alone" to actually sharing her worry and concern with her friends somehow touched me deeply. So far I find myself quite like this anime original arc - I can see care and effort being given to link the arc to Misaka's development and the events from the Sister's Arc (human clones, Item, Nunotaba Shinobu etc) so that there is a continuity and relevance in the series while compensating for too little Saten, Uiharu and Kuroko in the Sister's Arc. Anyway, this weekend has been such a great weekend as I shed tears FIVE times in one day, watching Uchouten, Railgun, Monogatari, Symphogear and Fate/kaleid Illya. I have never recalled such a day before... |
| 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. |
| Ah great, I guess I should thank JC for making her be able to just stopping it for a while. How retarded do you think she is if you think that she has to revise her "battle plan" every time she meets a new version of a suit(anime),vehicle(SS1) or opponent(novels)?Didnt seem to be the case in every other battle. But I am not accepting what happened here and in previous eps AND in some scenes in S1 anyway.Same goes for many others. Aqua was part of the darkness of the magic side, that is the point.What you say is like taking whatever happened in Sisters arc and call it an Accelerator or ITEM only related incident.I am not making up new arguments,you are the one changing it. Do you understand that they ruin Misaka's personality when they make her ask for support that will hurt them?There is no point to asking for support when you(Misaka) apparently dont give a shit about their safety. I need proof that Accelerator and Kakine could easily kill all of them?That Uiharu and Saten would be dealt by the "small fries" of those organizations? Your point is that Misaka should go against her established char and quite understandable reasons because other chars put their trust in their already involved friends. |
| Damn we're about to enter the dark side of AC i'm shocked heaven canceler isn't even part of its considering this connections and knowledge cant wait for the next episode |
 <--- Who Your Waifus Look Up To --->  |
| Why would she need to hold back when she could have stopped it without endangering the pilot?As I said before aim for the legs and arms(plz dont tell me that her aim isnt good).She knows where the pilot is located.It's not that they made her hold back.They made her look stupid by holding back. I love how you remove Aqua from the magic side's darkness for the sake of the argument.Ofc the members of God's Right Seat arent part of the darkness...Why did I even think about it? As for the comparison itself,Kanzaki's reasons for keeping the Amakusa away from her is really different from Misaka's reasons for keeping them out of the darkness itself. How was her development in Sisters arc about asking them for support?Especially when that didnt change even after the Remnant arc?Why would she "develop" now?Why would she put them in danger for the sake of what you think is char development?I dont remember Misaka asking Kongou's help against the darkness,that she didnt know that was involved, but her help against Since it is obvious I dont understand why Misaka,someone supposedly many times more intelligent than the both of us should ignore something so obvious. It doesnt matter what the franchise thinks but what Misaka,canon Misaka thinks.Even the #1 MC of the franchise does his best to do everything alone even if he lectures others about doing the same thing.What in your opinion is better?An emotionally hurt friend that will still accept you later or a dead friend(or hurt for life at best)? richard360 said: Damn we're about to enter the dark side of AC i'm shocked heaven canceler isn't even part of its considering this connections and knowledge cant wait for the next episode He skreyola said: Because the Network(the Sisters) arent available for that now.I don't see anything in the subs to suggest that she told them about the sisters... ..but I've been wondering for a few episodes why she doesn't use the MISAKA network to keep tabs on the city when security cameras go out. 41236 said: That Nunotaba is the 2nd ranked esper? What? |
| "Who were you again". That's exactly what I thought too. Maybe Nunotaba is spying them. I doubt that she's actually evil. |
| I feel like a genius! A thought that was hair but i didn´t expect that to be Febri sister hair!!! Finally same action with all of them! It was about time for Misaka to talk with her friends. Misaka clone is so cool, always saying what they really feel |

| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |

And lol at downplaying even Heaven Canceler.Yeah,one of the two guys that created I hope that Beatrice Therestina Kihara Lifeline will make this arc a bit better. i do feel a bit annoyed at first but heaven canceler is a doctor but not a chemist, he can't reproduce it without researching. it is a unknown chemical that used unknown method to created it. I dont think that anything of what I mentioned above can be made by simple doctor,and the idea for one of them was thought on the spot. Even a chemist would need to find out what it is.Here Heaven Canceler gave up on reproducing it before knowing what it is or finding out the time limit.That is even worse than simply not being able to do something. |
ssjokgSep 11, 2013 1:07 PM
| I'm glad things are moving forward now. The villains of this arc are so generic and boring. I can't bring myself to care at all about their evil scheme. I also can't muster any worry for Febli, whose only characteristic so far is "being cute". I don't even care about possible contradictions, or the number of slice of life scenes. I just want this arc to be better written. |
| I would understand if Mikoto told Kuroko about the dark side, but whats the point of telling Uiharu and Saten? (except to keep the friendship theme going...) |
| They made this arc more serious now. I predict that Febri will die. |

As if. |
ssjokgSep 12, 2013 4:03 AM
| Hmm, I guess this arc was probably created in order to explore a (much less dangerous) situation where Shinobu managed to succeed with implanting emotion data, and where Mikoto... enlisted the help of her friends instead of going alone. It's trying to explore the alternative paths that the Sisters arc did not take, without repeating the story or reusing most of the main actors/actresses involved in that arc. Not saying it's a good or bad thing, though. Heaven Canceller didn't need to ask whether Mikoto was ready. Having gone through the Sisters Arc, I seriously doubt this case can outdo, let alone match the scale or difficulty that Mikoto faced in that one. T. Kihara Lifeline is back... to dispense some advice in the workings of Academy City's scientific underworld?! What. Pretty overblown scheme if it was all for the mere sake of presenting those schemers' research. |
| Wow shes back! |
 |
| The pace sure slowed down by a lot, but it is getting a buildup somewhere, a slow one but still pretty decent! But damn that ending sure was interesting, wouldn't have expected to see her again! Lets see if she's any help! |
