This series is head and shoulders above Index. The message it carries, the friendship/bond of the four main lead, The animation quality, <<Saten Ruiko's development>> and the main female lead don't bite her friends like Index did.

How is Index better than Railgun? Index is not half as entertaining as Railgun. My conclusion is, people are just angry because it didn't follow the manga or because Touma's not around. (Personally, Touma is an ok male lead to me, not good)

Index bore me to no end at times, while Railgun entertain me a lot. Index is a real joke compare to Railgun. The fact that a lot of people crying over Railgun being disappointing is a big mystery to me.

Saten <3 Gatha love her.

7/10 for Railgun.

Will be waiting for Railgun season 2, not index season 2(Shit sucks).

I haven't red the Index novels, but think by spoilers some of later volumes more similar whit Railgun than Index. So I don't mind witch will has more seasons.

I kinda wish this had ended after the Level Upper arc, then I could have given it a 9 or something. I really loved the show, and I wish they didn't end it with random filler.

You fail. Railgun is full of flaws. When comparing the two Index is far superior.
However I am simple not bothered to type out all the reasons as I have better things to do. Plus chances are that you ill never read this.

I will state that Misaka's character was ruined. For example...
Misaka: The academy sacrificing children in experiments....that's impossible! My sense of justice says that can't be true! But wait a tick....didn't the academy trick me into being used in their experiments? So shouldn't I not be so naive as to think this is impossible? Isn't this childlike sense of justice contradictory to my character?
Plus boring characters. The two add-ons very crappy and uninteresting.(Well the no powers girl was alright but they really could have done something with the flower girl)

It was ok. But Index was better and has more potential. Now if only it had a chance to show it....

Erm, but the sister cloning arc hasn't started yet so none of what you said contradicts anything about her character.

Though I'll agree that Index has more potential.

If I were Ruiko, I would have destroyed that control room with my bat asap when I reached! What's with her searching for Capacity Down on the computer? *facepalm*
Anyway she was still awesome when she smashed the system!

I love the action scenes. Sports car + Biribiri = Badassery!

(Facepalm!)

This is a spinoff. It took a character from Index and gave her a show. So unless this is some parallel dimension were she was not tricked when she was a child then it doesn't make sense.
Either way they still destroyed her character. Which was the original point.

I am speechless. I mean did you just see that? Holy shit their powers reached the heavens. Damn holy shit it's definitely over 9000. Even Saten who doesn't have an ability played a important role, lool.

First of all I gotta say holy shit Misaka for being totally awesome in this episode. Well yeah EVERYONE who appeared in this episode were awesome but I mean damn Misaka sure did the job. Infact she overdid it. If the teleporting falcon punch didn't get you, the full powered railgun will.

I loved how they all accomplished their mission. I loved how all the students woke up. I loved how they showed everyone in the credits. I loved how they greeted Kiyama a happy birthday and lastly, I loved how Misaka was a complete total awesomeness in this episode. Gaaah <3.

Well when she was a child she gave in for the reason they gave her: "We're going to be able to save a lot of people with your aid"

So she didn't know, till later I guess.

Awesome anime, *gives it 9/10*

A very good ending...but something bothers me...
I really want to know about the other six level 5 espers, especially the ones who are supposed to be stronger than misaka.
So I hope for a Season 2with more background information, but I doubt my wish is going to be granted

5/5 for this episode

Awesome ending to a great series this is defiantly better then index much better pacing and the characters are so much more likable. Its sad to have the series end i wish there was more although this being a small side story to the main index storyline probably won't happen unless they make an anime only continuation to it :( oh well 9 out of 10 from me.

This series is very good for a spin-off. It's a spin-off so I don't expect the story to be better than its parent story but regarding everything except the story, I think this series is better than index.

As for the fillers, I haven't read the novels but I can't imagine the series without the additional stories. Without it, less episodes and less profit for the producers. We can't blame them to become greedy because the main reason for a novel to be adapted into an anime is for the producers to earn money. Maybe without those fillers, this anime won't even be produced.

Man, I'm so sad it's over. Railgun had everything I loved in Index, and toned down on the things I didn't like. I personally prefer Railgun over Index, but that's just me. The episode was great, a really happy end, something I was expecting :)

I hope one day it will receive a second season, it would definitely be worth it! 9/10 from me, highly entertaining series.

Ps: It was really nice to see Index and Touma at the end :) And a huge bonus point for the part where Biribiri called out to Kuroko :)

I think you mean more Kuroko.

I also seem to be one of the few people who actually enjoyed the fillers o.O. Sure, it's not a god-tier series, but I wasn't expecting it to be. Aside from Uiharu being annoying at the end I liked all of the main characters and Kiyama is still awesome.

The first half of the series I'd rank at around a 9/10, with the second being 7.5~ so I'll leave it at 8. Oh, and I still think episode 2 is shit. That was the worst episode of the series by far.

I rated it the same way. The first half of the series was amazing and way better than I expected. I wish they had just ended it at 13 and then made a second season when there was enough material.

Also, I hope a second season gets made anyways XD

I third that, the first half was pretty good. After that this just looses its charm.
Jokes get boring.
Plot is not there.
Misaka is no longer the protagonist of the show.

Also the inconsistencies of the last fight make me mad. I like how even the abilities were somehow supernatural they would still have some science behind them (ie. Misaka can magnetize stuff by sending electric current through the object ). But at the end things werent adding up (50m rule for a coin, but if u railgun a metalbox with tons of more mass she can send it to the moon)

Anyways the show overall was fine... i guess.

Pretty good ending. The fights were great and that Telestina bitch got what she deserved. On top of that, the children were saved and everything is back to normal.

Maybe this show will ever get a sequel after Index II? I'd love to see the events of Index through Misaka's point of view. Or maybe the sister program?

I would've loved to see some last scenes with Touma and Misaka though, but for that I'll just continue on to Index II! Great series, 8/10! =D

That episode was really awesome! I really liked the epic railgun misaka shot in the road fight, and the one she shot in the fight in the lab.
Overall, the series was really enjoyable, it provided us what to aru majutsu no index didn't- the(more or less) daily life in academy city for misaka mikoto and her friends. As a spin-off, it is much better then the parent story.
The ending was just great as well, although Telestina didn't have to stay alive.
I hope that there will be 2nd season of this~

I don't know whether I'll give this a 8 or a 9. On one hand, I liked it better than Index because it didn't try too hard with overly complex nonsensical explanations (yeah, I'm mainly talking about the magic-side) and due to the lack of Index (she annoys me). I actually liked the characters in Railgun way better. However, the middle part of the anime was kinda draggy, and while some of the fillers were enjoyable, others were simply boring. This last arc was good, but not as good as the Level Upper arc and the way Telestina wanted to reach Level 6 with the crystallized esper essence didn't make much sense. I was also somewhat turned off by those wired overpowered mecha (especially the big yellow one). The action was still top notch though, and I loved the episode nonetheless.

Well technically Railgun should have ended after the Level Upper arc. Even if it was written by the original author you can tell it was put together just to fill up episodes.

I know its should have ended their. Which goes to show JC staff can't do anime original episodes right. The side characters were boring and Telestina can't match up to Kihara imo. Also in this ep that kamehame railgun was beyond lolscience.
