URBAN MYTHS - NOT A FILLER EPISODE :O!!

So...I cancelled the thing I was supposed to have every Friday, since it was getting in the way of various things (such as not railgun...honest :O...[yeah right]). Love watching this show live :D.

Enter Kiyama and her trademark move...and we finally start moving towards the main plot.
No one uses real candles to tell ghost stories these days, huh? But then candles might burn through the...uh...cloth.
I want to try that "Soup Curry" thing...
Touma faking losing was hilarious. Actually, the whole episode was hilarious.
Once again, great job with the half-manga-half-self-created integration by the producers.

"Tsun...tsun...tsun...dara? Tsunjire?"

Manga coming out in 3 days :).

... tsun ... tsun ... tsun ...

tsun?

well this episode had one of my favorite scenes of the entire manga in it so you can imagine how i'm feeling right now. from what i could tell it was more than acceptably done too. had to switch quickly from the keyhole stream to the justin.tv. better picture quality there but it buffers a lot. luckily i got the vast majority of the chainsaw introduction and i was spellbound. i couldn't tell from the crappy stream whether it was moving while she was swinging it around but i guess i'll find out soon enough on that. other than that everything already looked great even if it wasn't cg. just so impressive. bodes well for later episodes.

isn't harumi's last name kiyama and not sayama? i guess if she introduced herself then i missed it. of course her introduction was totally different from the manga. i guess i'll be thinking about why that might be for the next few days. i'm liking her voice. i think i recognize it but i'm not sure. but at any rate she is able to portray everything in there.

and turns out i was wrong about how they would use toshidensetsu (urban legends) - unless the overpowered pyrokineticist and dummy checker were mentioned in the first ~5 minutes that i missed due to switching from keyhole tv to justin.tv.

just a hilarious episode though. was trying so hard not to laugh my ass off down here in the campus library basement when kuroko went berserk (both times!).

not-so-crap caps from the live stream:

this one is just hilarious
I would not call Mikoto a tsundere, even though she is a little tsuntsun this time...

The 'chainsaw' did not look like a chainsaw and was not used like one. Also how did she create it? Seemed like FMA-alchemy in that regard.

Urban Legend...

So Touma was included in the Urban Legend site? Misaka and Touma met each other that time for the first time, huh?!

That female scientist sounds like Paku Romi.

PS. lol @ how Touma reacted during his negation on one of Misaka's attacks when Misaka was "grrrr" (?).

ah yeah she may be paku romi. that would explain why i recognized her. i guess we'll have to wait for windy's verdict.

and after having just watched the episode again it turns out they did mention the "level upper" as one of the urban legends in the part i missed the first time. so it turns out i was right about that.

hey, this is important. ;)

Touma and Mikoto are so awesome. That episode was great, nice blend of comedy, action, and win. Now I have to wait another long week for the next episode.

Also, it was so cute when Mikoto thought she was going to get hit.

I can say they are doing a super job handling Railgun for now, even the scene they add are great, I was awaiting to see Misaka's ability animated and they look great.

I love all these Misaka vs Touma encounter.

I hope they will just add more
than going for plain comedie between the important part.
Anyway for those who awaited the plot here it comes,..

Best episode so far. Biribiri honestly surprised me by using her powers like that. I never even considered that fact until now, truly deserving of her Level 5 status. I like all of Touma's parts as well XD, and yes, I feel you for your broken eggs T^T.

Finally an episode that doesn't suck

The first episode was good and the rest went downhill from there However this episode was great.

Loved the Misaka/Touma fight

The tie in between the introduction of Kiyama and Touma was very well orchestrated and of course there was the very subtle mention of the Level upper

Oh this was just fun to watch. Had Touma calling her Biribiri, an embarrassed Mikoto, and chainswords :). It's pretty frightening the things she can come up with when she wants to destroy you. I mean one touch of that sword would have cut him in half. Without a doubt my favourite episode of this series so far.

Lamenting the sad fate of Touma's eggs. So much time waiting in line for nothing....

Just a fun episode. It was a great fight. Plus a tough spot for Touma when he had a chance to counter attack. I think Mikoto's most effective attack was that scared pose she threw at him. Couldn't block that :).

In my opinion best episode so far...or maybe i'm just being baised since Touma was in it a lot lol. I couldn't stop laughing when Kuroko freaked out in the reasturant and when Touma deflated when giving up in the fight.
Lol Mikoto is a Tsun...tsun...tsun...

the female scientist's eyes creeps me out a bit in the OP, like some insane scientist... but now i guess it is probably becoz she is too obsess with research n doesnt has enough sleep... =.=

the "fight" between touma n mikoto is quite decent, but u cant really call that a fight... it is more like a quarrel between 2 kids to me...

Actually, I doubt it would work on Kuroko, as she would most likely stop for a second and then proceed to ONEE-SAMAAAAAA!! assault Biribiri even harder than before XP.

"And stuff like 'The man with the ability to nullify all other abilities' - Urban legends like that could only happen in Academy City, right?" xD.. I lol'd
"There's no way such an unbelievable ability could exist." xD.. Once again, I lol'd

And I went a bit "wut" when I saw the magazine with "Shakugan no Shana S OVA" stuff on it xD
And some other stuff too, Biribiri for example : >

Also, cool, when Misaka met Touma : p

And Saten looked good in those clothes : o

The Legendary Stipper-Lady xD...
Also, as to it being contagious, I think Kuroko is overreacting... slightly : D

Tsun.. Tsun.. Tsundara? Tsunjire?
I lol'd once again xD
Oh and then she blushed x)

Touma, looking kinda cool.
And also.. Moe : o
Want more of this : D

Also, Kuroko.. lol
Best way to describe her would be a facepalm, but my forehead's pretty sore, since I facepalm to alot of things O.o

Good episode. something missing from making it perfect but enjoyable nevertheless.
Kuroko going wild of thinking Biribiri going naked was funny although i thought she would enjoy it.
OP and ED are getting more enjoyable every time i hear them.


Also amazingly cute. Want to hug her so much. Lucky pillow.


And this was really funny.

Sure, Kuroko would enjoy a naked Biribiri, but then again, not one who goes around town stripping, because others would also see her, and thus it wouldn't be only Kuroko's privilege to see her naked.. Or at least that's what I think : p

Great episode. Best part was the fight of Misaka and Touma. The beginning was scary for a minute because of the music but it became stupid when it was over because I noticed it was daytime when they did it. Was the thing with Touma saving Misaka from those guys part of the first episode on the bridge from the Index serie? What is this "Imaginary Number School District" urban legend thing? Is it real? Does it have to do with the AIM dispersion field research of the "Undressing Women" and this person from Index: http://myanimelist.net/character/20464/Hyouka_Kazakiri ? I did not get how did this chainsaw thing was made from iron sand but the fight of Misaka and Touma was great! Really enjoyed it a lot and missed those fights since finishing Index! Good comedy came from Shirai freaking out at the curse of the "Undressing woman" on Uiharu and the panties on the head part. Of course the tsundere part of Misaka/blushing of Misaka was nice too. I really missed Touma's imagine breaker. Does the upper level device exist? Best episode for me but more questions came up also.

So this was just another incident that Touma just wanted to help Misaka get out from of his own free will with a invented scenario. Ok I get it.

Too much Touma in this episode... that guy is so annoying.
Though I almost though he would hit Mikoto there for a second on :O

Talk about getting a bit out of hand with that chainsword ability, I mean what if he would not be able to dodge it?
It definitely would leave more than a scratch =P

Laughed so hard at Kuroko in the end when she was wearing those frog panties on her head and started to slap Mikoto with another pair of pantsu xD
