| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ya, first half felt fillerish to me. Well, I'm glad that Kuroko got some screen time as she was missing some from the previous episodes. Ohi Saten. Yup, I see her sniffing around. Such a funny girl imo. Otherwise, too much filler in this episode imo. Uh, nice clover I guess:  |
 |
| While Misaka is secretly moving, the rest of the group are doing things their way with Kuroko feeling lonely. Then helping a little girl out with giving her friend who's going away good luck. More level 5s next ep. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| HELL YES. I see a cool chick next episode along with her group:  ITEM. Can't wait. |
|
| Well yeah. I guess it was kinda fillerish episode but still i loved it. <-- Kuroko fanboy Anyways starting next episode the serie will turn epic. If i remember good from the manga at least. It's been a loooooot of time since i read it but yeah. Can't wait for the high level esper fights ^^ |
 |
| yeaaah ITEM is comiiing . can't wait.. Mugino shizuri, Kinuhata, Frenda, and takitsubo |

| Yes, thank you JC Staff. That was the perfect way to build on the mood established in the last two episodes, by having characters talk about food for half an episode and tell us the extremely crazy plot twist of Kuroko caring about Misaka. Wonderful. Amazing. ...I'm trying to deny that I watched an entire episode just for the PV. 2/5. It isn't 1/5 simply because Frenda was in the PV. |

| Not much happened in this episode. It looks like Misaka has found the location of various facilities included in the clone project. However, to destroy them, she needs to get past their body guards that we will encounter in the next episode. Back to Kurono and the gangs, they are showing concern for Misaka and obviously will find out about her secret and offer help. In the mean time, they get some side stories and character development. Some people may forget that Railgun is not only about Misaka. Liking the series requires us to care about other characters too. That said, not much love for Kurono from me. Her stalking is sometimes over the line. Touma encounter is still several episodes away :( |

Amarrez said: ssjokg said: Hey look it's Fre nda!! That was a half baked joke. Too bad. I am going to be referring to her as Fre|nda on this forum forever. :P I take it the episode was all filler until the end when I am assuming that Mikoto starts attacking the research facilities. |

Amarrez said: Half-baked...oh...*facepalms* Clever. Clever Joke. Oh well, at least we are getting ITEM in the next episode. That's definitely something to look forward to after an episode of mainly filler. |

That's definitely something to look forward to after an episode of mainly filler. Agreed. But filler doesn't have to be bad... just saying... This one was. Boring, out of place, ruined the mood set by the last two. I just hope that the next episode is worth it. |
|
dniv said: Agreed. But filler doesn't have to be bad... just saying... I know. Filler does not necessarily mean bad. I'm just going to wait to see the subs for the episode before I make any judgements. But, like Amarrez said, this one seems like it ruined the mood of the series which the previous two episodes brilliantly set up. |

dniv said: ThangLong said: Not much happened in this episode. It looks like Misaka has found the location of various facilities included in the clone project. However, to destroy them, she needs to get past their body guards that we will encounter in the next episode. From the toaru wiki summary... I'm pretty sure Mikoto already has been doing what you just said... Kuroko was out on patrol and heard about mysterious fires (this episode)... so... not entirely true... anyway, next episode she's just finally going to encounter the body guards (ITEM)... from the PV. Well, that's a little nit-picking ;) since the body guards do not entirely comprise of ITEM and my statement does not mean that Misaka haven't destroyed some of them already |
| |
dniv said: Also, Thanglong, I'm sorry. I just read your post slightly wrong and I had not yet seen the episode. I very much agree with what you were trying to say. My Apologies :D Nah, there is no need to apologize :) we are not always seeing the same as others even though we all watched the same show. That's why discussion thread exists :D Your love for Railgun series is admirable. Although I do not like it as much, it is one of the shows I update regularly this season. I agree that JC Staff is making a good adaptation. They've redeemed themselves a bit after Index. |
| |
| Filler. What can you do. They gotta give Saten and the others some screentime as they're obviously needed >_>. Could have been worse but it's okay I guess. At least the preview looks great. It's Fre|nda! Yeah, I want to join in the in-joke as well :P Oh and we already have the seiyuus for ITEM. Saw it on /a/ earlier. Fre|nda will be voiced by Uchida Maaya. Kinuhata will be voiced by Akasaki Chinatsu. Takitsubou will be voiced by Suzaki Aya. Mugino will be voiced by Koshimizu Ami, same as the one in the PSP game. Good choices overall and glad they kepy Koshimizu for Mugino. Should be good. |
 |
| Oh same VA as Rikka for Frenda from Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!, nice. Actually, I see two voice actresses from Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! for ITEM's members. I just also listened to Koshimizu Ami's voice for Mugino in the PSP game and seems decent enough. |
|
| boring as fuck. finally we get to something new. |
    |
| Bring it on ITEM!!! YES! Can't wait >_< |
 |
| Is it just me or did the animation feel really poor this episode? During the first half, the characters felt really poorly drawn and Kuroko was extremely rigidy. Maybe it's just me. |
tsubasalover said: More level 5s next ep. SO EXCITED A nice episode full of Kuroko, so I'm hapy |
| soft spoken Kuroko >3 excited for next week knew they would call for some help after all those labs were blown up Misaka is already worn out and she has to fight level 5s?! D: |
 |
| 2/5 weak sauce. Definitely looking foward to the next ep tho |
| This episode may have been mostly filler, but it was good filler. I especially liked the focus on Kuroko. It was far more respectful to her characterization than the anime has been to her in the past (especially the first season *shudder*). Now for seven days to pass. I can hardly wait for a certain group of characters to show up. :3 |
| I almost fell asleep.God, how i hate fillers (at least most of them). 2/5 and can't wait to see next episode.Looks like new characters show up :D |
 |
ssjokg said: Hey look it's Fre nda!! Made my day. Anyway, terrible terrible ep. Really hope they don't have more of these filler eps later on. |
 |
| Ok. Whoever said this filler would suck was sorely mistaken. It was a nice and heartwarming to see more of how Kuroko is dealing with Mikoto's actions. At the same time, we had decent characterization of Kuroko as somebody more than just an obsessive Mikoto-sexual. While it wasn't the best episode and I am going to be pretty hard to impress until next week after I read NT07, I was genuinely surprised about the filler. It didn't feel out of place or break the mood at all. It was a nice, alleviating transition before the fun stuff. So, JC Staff: 5/5. On the next episode: ITEM! WOOT! dniv said: For those of you who might care: here are the next few episodes names: Episode 8: ITEM Episode 9: Episode 10: I am putting the episode names in spoilers just in case. So, it seems like the adaptation schedule for the next three episodes will be On another note, about the title for episode 9...JC Staff is being pretty subtle with the WWIII arc spoilers, isn't it. Oh well...more hints that an Index III is definitely happening soon. |

| A far more atmospheric and relaxing episode that kind acts as an intermission to all the things that have happened up so far. I liked it, well probably because it was basically a Kuroko episode. Oh for anyone curious to why people put a space half way in that blonde girl's name, don't research it or you'll spoil yourself big time. |
 |
| This was an okay episode. The preview for the next episode looks good. |
 |
| LOL @ Uiharu's expressions to Saten.. Wow the preview looks badass! |
| I actually didn't mind the focus on Kuroko, it's good story telling to show how hard this is on her. Little boring, but a good bridge episode I guess. I did think her metaphor with the butterflies was touching. Shingeki no Facilities!!! |
 |
| waha! A ponytail and a cap looks really cute on Misaka! |
| Next ep seems awesome. ONEESAMA no chikara ni naritai desu no～ AlexTheRiot said: Shingeki no Facilities!!! 'Shingeki No Kyojin' doesn't mean 'Attack on Titan' So, no, 'shingeki no facilities' doesn't translate to 'attack on facilities' |

| 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. |
| At least it wasn't a completely filler episode. The next episode will surely make up for this one. |
 |
| I know Mikoto is doing something important, but... She's still (IMO) kind of abusing Kuroko. She knows that Kuroko would never go against her and she takes advantage of that. Also, I don't know why they didn't have Kuroko help Mikoto, with her Teleportation abilities I'm sure Mikoto could destroy these labs a lot quicker. |

Misaka won't endanger her friends, or risk them becoming too involved in AC's underbelly. Not to mention if Misaka can't defend herself against Accelerator, then how can she protect others? It's something she needs to do alone (at least for now). |
|
| Meh episode. Next episode looks good though. |
| My Anime Blog: http://www.Entravity.com/ Episodic overviews of the latest anime. |
| I demand more Misaka in short shorts and a ponytail. |
| Just a bit fillerish, but we get to see Kuroko's feeling from the side. And Mikoto already begun to physically break down. Some facilities blew up. I'm waiting for Item. |
