Then please by all means enlighten me about what part is "dumbshit" to you and I might be able to refrain from posting similar things in the future. Was it me trying to solve a doubt, voicing my personal opinion of this show and recommending its manga or the "horrible" 7/10 I gave it?

Don't worry he's talking about my post. :] I forgot the air friction, good point there, I must have missed it in the anime. Well who cares anyway, overthinking about an anime is only for the lulz. :D

Overall the series wasn't too bad. When not going into fillers, most of the episodes were indeed enjoyable. Of course, even though this was filler also, I enjoyed it. Most of the second half of the series was dull with some episodes even devoted to the side kicks of side characters.

This series gets a 6/10 for me. If the fillers didn't take up half of Railgun, it'd probably get a 7 or 8. Oh well.

Oh my, I can't believe this is the end! D:

I must say though, the fighting scenes were splendid! Definitely did not disappoint. Although I sort of wanted to see Konori do more than just ride her awesome motorcycle...the rest was great!

The giant railgun that Misaka pulled off was BEAUTIFUL. :'D

I also loved Kongou and Kuroko's teamwork. Girls shooting trucks at helicopters? Yes please.

Ah...and somehow, I liked Kiyama sensei with bags under her eyes! xD Ugh, the reunion was touching between her students though. <3
Bleed for me.

I was really surprised by Kiyama's prominence in the first arc, then doubly so when she showed up again. Having the midpoint and ending tied together made for some great continuity - and Kiyama is just such an amazing character.

The relationship of students and teachers seems to be at the heart of the show. In a city where learning is the most important thing, it was perfect to end with the conclusion of her struggles.

Epic last epic is amazingly epic. I loved it. All of it. I can't believe it's really over...but I'm glad it showed Touma and Index and the other Index characters at the end. It wouldn't have been a real ending without them.

Animation was nice, really good battle scenes too.
Final fight was a bit cliched, not exactly predictable, but nothing innovative either.
Eh, that was pretty cool of a ending episode, but the last strike of Misaka vs. Telestina was so... *wince*... i mean, it's two projectiles going against each other, why the heck are they doing that harry potter overpowering thing? The projectiles would've been annihilated on spot when they make contact...

Is there anyone besides me that think seeing Misaka railgun vs Telestina "railgun" is just like seeing kamehameha vs kamehameha ?

Anyway a good episode and overall this series is not bad but the fillers is disappointing. This is supposed to be an action anime but the fillers sometimes make this one looks like a slice of life genre.

My weekly dose of railgun is over : )

In this episode the action looked great
The end boss with his dumb laughter was very cliche but ok it can't be helped.
the ending scene was very well done they showed every character again,
it felt like a nice good bye.
hopefully there will be another season with index.

The plot wasn't always preseng but I enjoyed nearly every episode even the fillers because the well made characters made up for them.

maybe one point I disliked was that there were too many female characters and the handful of male characters in this show were mostly violent and mean basterds who attacked my lovely Kuroko XD

8/10

but I still liked toaru no index better

Just like Index, it went downhill towards the end. Sure, this episode was good, but this arc as a whole was terrible. I like this series more than Index, though, so I will be starting this manga.

7/10 overall for me.

Not bad. I give it 7/10 because it had a few redeeming factors that made me raise it up from the 6/10 I had it for quite a while there.

I do have to say though that regular railgun vs synthetic railgun was actually kind of a disappointment. Although, it did remind me of the Ranma epsiode where they fought Copy Cat Ken, and we learned the mimicked techniques aren't as good as the original ones. I can let that one slide.

p.s. Misaka needs to carry around larger pieces of metal for her railgun.
Either that or something that is more streamlined and made to be a projectile.

Wonderful ! The battle was excellent, and it's really nice Kongou-san joined in the fight :)
She isn't just a snob, she is powerful :D
Telestina-Beatrice's freaky laugh was so enjoyable again ^^
And it seems Saten-san was also the most powerful character, she saved them all with a good ol' baseball strike ;)

It was BY FAR the best episode of the series and a fantastic ending with lots of action, emotion (on the good side for once), and of course a very good direction and animation. I'm happy to have watched the series just for the ending, especially after the wreck that episode 23 was.

Overall a very nice series with well-developped themes, interesting characters and a great ending which made me overlook its various flaws (basic script - even weak at times, a lot of filler episodes, drops in animation, corny chara development at times). And it was obviously two good levels above Index, which was plain shit. 8/10

The entire season season has been fairly average, and with that I didn't expect a lot out of the finale. Even so, it was still a highly generic way to end the season... maybe if I had seen Index beforehand it would have meant more.

The only real reason I kept up with this series in the first place was because of the enjoyable characters, so the filler episodes were right up my alley. Then as soon as "story" popped up it would become more action than anything else... disappointing me since that is definitely where this series fails.

Anyway, the subs I watched said "see you next season," so if there is actually a follow up season I would totally be on board... the characters make the show for me that much!!! Also, is a second season confirmed?

Railgun is just to damn awesome! Can't get enough of it. It's power is just to great O.O

But the last attack, it just had to turn like Dragonball. Is it really common for 2 attacks colliding like that?

Anyway, great anime. Nice end. No news for a second season for Toaru Majutsu no Index?

Hate it or love it, Railgun has made BiriBiri a star, NOT index(anime, not character)

In fact BiriBiri at the moment has almost 900 favorites, before Railgun, she had less than 200!!!

Kuroko has also enjoyed a popularity boost, she's currently at 174 favorites, before Railgun she had 40.

I also want a season 2 for To aru majutsu no index, HOWEVER, I HATE index (the character), she's 100% fail as a main character, also BiriBiri and Kuroko will go back to being worthless side characters.

In the end Railgun gave us a great view of what we all wished, Mikoto as the main character in her own show.

I just wished this could happen in other shows, for example:

Make Hinata the main character in Naruto (KILL SAKURA, SHE'S FUCKING WORTHLESS)
Make Hinagiku the main character in Hayate no Gotoku
Make Kyou the main character in Clannad......oh wait they did that already

As someone who has never watched Index, I can say that I really enjoyed this series, 9/10. I'm glad that Touma didn't show up too much, every time he did he just annoyed me anyways. It just felt out of place to me, but that's probably because I haven't seen Index yet.

I loved Kuroko, though, because she kicks ass and though her constant rape attempts got a bit annoying after a while, I still think she's adorable. I wish there were some more Kuroko and Misaka moments at the end. However, I loved the Kuroko and Misaka combo railgun! I also loved Saten, Uiharu was a bit useless, but she was still pretty cute. I really liked all the characters, so the filler episodes were actually pretty enjoyable to me.

I thought the ending was really well done and summed this up nicely.

I hope that they make a second season for this, but in the meantime I guess I better try Index. :)

13:8 is the time.
which will obviously play a large role in determining railgun's timeline alone with index.

railgun was a good anime. it was much much better than index, and i really enjoyed it. will be one of my favorite series
the fight on the highway, as well as the fight in the lab was good.
saten's bat was also good, but i was hoping to see more higurashi-style batting.
i also hoped to see the railgun actually doing damage, like how they showed the railgun go through the monster thingy in ep 13.
hopefully railgun 2 and index 2 will be announced and animated soon

the songs were the best part
shame that there was no real force.

Ah great another one to object to.....listen you! As a personal opinion of yours about Index.....I respect for choice but she is not fail....she can use magic and proved more than anything at the end she could handle the Golem....now things happened and of course she had to be helped but before even that her magical powers were tremendous......and impress but naming me one character that can have over 100 000 tomes of taboo magic in their mind.......not sure there is. Sure Index cries and can be helpless but still has a cute aspects like her childish side....like her expressions.......like her way of acting at some points.
wabowser said:

Index is not useless and compared to Uiharu has much more power....Index does not cry as pathetically as Uiharu did that it took a slap to wake her up. Moe idiot? Index is not as dumb as you think when she understand the mystical powers of magic itself......there did my part to protect Index since I like her...

I think Index is boring and annoying. I'm not trying to get anyone worked up, just saying I much prefer Railgun. I don't mind serious stuff, and I don't mind the random slice of life stuff, but what I do hate is the random mini-arc fillers of supporting characters we never really see again. Get rid of that and the show will get a 10. :3

The show is over, but I don't feel fulfilled by this ep..
They could've skipped some filler eps to make this episode feel less fast paced. Maybe even split between 2 episodes.
Sure, there were good moments here and there, but I didn't get anything out of them because of the pace.

I doubt that there will be a second season.
But who knows.

I'll probably get killed for this statement.. but anyway: in the Index show you could compare moeidiot index with moeidiot misaka xD

Shall I explain? Misaka never had any shining moment in index besides her moe attributes and attemps to commit suicide xD
Yeah, index helped some more in this show with comments about how to defeat someone or as francis said fighting against the golen which she would have won if the connection between golem and master wouldn't have disappeared.

Now i could also discuss the fact, that uiharu wasn't useless, too but there probably won't be anyone listenening to me anymore after saying that about misaka xD

I honestly thought this last episode sucked. The entire car chase felt ripped out of a video game, the theme song usage was tacky, and I felt zero sense of urgency. Telestina was a massive disappointment as a final bad guy, going from cold calculator to a psychopath in 5 seconds flat in one of the most jarring character shifts I've ever seen. Her motives also felt far too underdeveloped to boot.

Honestly, I thought the whole show was a vast disappointment. A Certain Magical Index wasn't an anime classic, but it had some good arcs and slick action. This show was just bogged down in mindless filler, added nothing to the Academy City universe and introduced one-dimensional characters that I frankly couldn't bring myself to care for. It was just 24 episodes of Misaka fan-service. I liked Misaka in Index, but she just can't carry her own show. None of the story, to me, ever felt like it revolved around her. She was just there to fight the bad guys, the story itself didn't revolve around Misaka or her ability at all.

Seriously, you could've thrown Touma into Misaka's position and you could call it a second season to Index. The only change you'd have to make is that Touma can't room with Kuroko, thus Kuroko would have less screen time....huh, that doesn't sound so bad.

2 out of 5 for the episode. 4 out of 10 for the whole series.
