JustALEX said: Insanely ridiculous ending....especially the whole space bit. Whatever, I didn't expect much after the Sisters arc, but I really didn't think the Febri arc would be like this. I didn't particularly enjoy it. Railgun S was very strong through the first half, it was 10/10 strong! But it just didn't stay like that for me, combined with the nonsense of Hax man and the Febri arc, Railgun S took quite a bit of damage in my rating. All the way down to 7.5/10....I guess my bias will round it up to an 8/10. I still think the first half of the season was easily the most enjoyable episodes I have seen from the Raildex universe, (well it's pretty easy when Index sucks). That is true, lol. Best animated version, I love the universe, but the Anime kind of sucks... The novels are okay, but it points out of things rather obnoxiously, maybe it's just me. |

| I'm just curious that they did show the remote controller blonde chick yet we never got some more information about her on this season. Too bad that Touma didn't do some action even just a little on this arc. Anyway, 8/10. |

| done watching railgun series and give me a reason to continue watching index, im at ep 10 and its not really entertaining.. the downside of the series was the silent party arc,. anyways 8.5/10.. |

| Contradiction-ahoy! Let's pretend this arc never happened and Railgun S ended at episode 16. |

Lanik said: This arc was illogical to me. First off, I don't see why would Misaka use the mecha suit as ammo for her Railgun power. Second, Aritomi had little to no justification for threatening Academy City. I wish I could look into his past further. Misaka using the robot for her railgun isnt an issue.The issue is how they survived up there,how she was able to aim at the pod and how they survived the reentry. The villains of this arc are filler ones.They have no background,char,motives,guts or the means to do whatever they wanted to do. |
| 5/5 In this episode the drawings at times were a bit subdued, Add gooders and also an excess of zeal, to give a sphere of exaggeration, however, springs from a nice finish! Strange to say but with all these downsides I found to my liking vision. Range topping, in my opinion, the previous one. Of undoubted value, are the arches where there is a crossing between TAMnI and Railgun to have the greatest impact. But the rest of the sub plots, manage to be interesting. I hope that the next series based on Railgun or always in the sphere of the characters in TAMnI, manages to be even more beautiful and exciting than the last. Final rating of 8/10! |

| Sisters arc - 10/10 Silent Party arc - 8/10 Total score - 9/10 I almost gave this anime full 10 but I guess I just can't call it a masterpiece as it is, even though the sisters arc deserves 11/10 ^^'' The final arc just wasn't that good. I'm not saying it was bad but it just wasn't even nearly as good as the first :/ Anyway, I loved this anime a lot, actually even more than the first season, even though I liked that one very much as well :) Lots of feels and great action ^^ |
 |
| I'm glad that was a lot of Saten in this Arc. For me, Saten is one of the best anime characters ever, I love her *. * My score : 9/10. I'm waiting for Index & Railgun III |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Silent Party arc wasn't that good as Sisters arc but it was still very good, especially the last, 24 episode. :) Story: 7/10 Music: 9/10 Art: 9/10 Characters: 7.5/10 Total: 8/10 |

| Let's see... Ep 1-10: Pretty awesome, was really fun to watch, especially the new scenes with Misaka and Misaka imouto and the fight against item. Ep 11-16: Way too overdramatized and too 'Railgun-centered'. Also, the scene with the vending machine with Misaka and Touma was better and funnier in the original Index anime, imho. Most of these six episodes felt like seeing a worse version of what already had been animated. Also, it's not like they couldn't have done it better: In the novel, as far as I remember, it's described well how Misaka struggles with herself when she electrifies Touma on the bridge (when he's stopping her from going to Accelerator). In the anime? Not much of that :-( Ep 17-24: Well, they were not completely shit, as most people here say^^ The fact that Misaka actually does rely on her friends instead of doing everything alone again was pretty cool. But then again, no need to repeat that over and over. By the last episode, it was like "YAY! FRIENDSHIP ALWAYS SAVES THE DAY!!"...come on, couldn't you have been a bit more subtle? D: Another big problem here: Febri. Again, a girl pops out of nowhere and of course, immediately she's the most important thing to the heriones. Misaka imouto pointed it well out in Ep. 21, even though it was meant as a joke there. Couldn't they have at least made a story about Saten or Uiharu instead? And yeah, then there are also all the illogical parts which have been already pointed out in the thread. But really, a lot of the stuff in the Index series (also in the novels) aren't really well explainable, so why bother about that? Just take it as the blockbuster it's supposed to be. Another thing is, what happened with Aratomi (or whatever the name of the scientist was) and his fellows afterwards? Also, apparently one slap from Misaka was enough to realize him that what he did was wrong. Come on, you're kidding me!! His motives actually made sense, and yet the makers of the series let him be the one-sided, inhuman villian, contrary to Misaka and her friends, which are the super-good heroes. This is really a common weakness for this series and it's novels: Touma (or Misaka) is always doing the right thing and is the super-hero, while the villians, despite of having reasonable motives, resort to unreasonable methods and in the end, aren't much more than one-sided villians. Accelerator is the only really interesting hero/anti-hero of the series...But well, despite it's weaknesses, the series, including Touma, is still pretty entertaining ;-) Anyway, so the verdict: First 10 Eps were pretty fun to watch, the rest felt like a never-ending fanservice to Misaka-worshippers. And that's coming from someone who really enjoyed the first season of Railgun. All in all, 7/10 because of the first 10 eps which were really worth watching. |

Railgun S has done a far better job in adapting the scenes both in the manga and the LN, compared to the Index anime. |
| :' it has end.. gonna miss this show and there will be railgun III and index III <3 anyway.. this episode is really cool! I admitted it! XD those judgement! hoho.. kuroko is really cool too.. with her spear shit! :p even ITEM show up.. hoho.. mugino still scary.. that moment when misaka go to space with kuroko and give her best shot! XD woohoo.. a bit too much but still cool! XD love it! most of all: - sisters finally smiling <3 really really lovely! <3 - febri and janie wearing that gothic dress.. and - shinobu.. lol XD tbh I more like when she wearing her usually uniform :3 but it is okay :3 10/10 |
| This final episode was so epic, I really love it despite I didn't care much for the arc itself. Misaka's final railgun WAS SO DARN EPIC!!! What I loved the most was that Level 5 Judgelight got played, I seriously love this track, and also that injured Accelerator got a screentime, as well as Touma. Well, I didn't really have any expectations for the ending, but still it sucked pretty hard. But, either way, this anime was an enjoyable run. 1. Characters. +1. Misaka got a really good development during the Sisters arc, but what's better Accelerator got introduced and Touma played a very strong role as well. The sisters' characters were good as well. 2. Atmosphere. +1. I think the atmosphere was good enough when it counted - during the Sisters arc and Accelerator's past. 3. OST. +1. It was really good at times, especially one of Accelerator's themes. Level 5 Judgelight was played as well which made the final episode so much better for me. The Sisters OP was good as well. 4. Animation. +1. Can't complain at all about it, the quality was great. 5. Background story. +1. Again, I give point because of the Sisters arc, Accelerator's past was good as well. 6. Storyline. +1. It was good in the Sisters arc, but I can't really say the Febri arc didn't have a storyline(it was just boring). 7. Ending. +1. Pretty epic final episode, I'm giving a point here just because of this. 8. Drama. +1. Accelerator and the sisters, Misaka and Touma, this moment was pretty dramatic back in TMNI as well. I liked it. 9. Overall affect. +1. I really liked this season for the first 16 episodes. It's not that I couldn't stand the last arc, but it was really boring for me, especially compared to the Sisters arc. This is probably the only reason I'm not giving this anime 10/10. Overall score: 9/10. I hope the next thing we'll see will be TMNI S3 first tho. It's about time. |

| Didn't like the Silent Party arc at all as a whole but god damn this final episode was epic as fuck. I guess I am just a sucker for good action scenes with the OPs/ EDs playing tho haha. Can't wait to see what JC Staff will do about Index/Railgun III with how great this season of Railgun was, or at least with what they did with the Sisters Arc. |

| Silent Party is a blasphemy to Raildex franchise. The only good thing in this arc are the OSTs |

| anime with cute girls is my thing. |
| In the end it looks like Accelerator's role stayed minimal. |

| Didn't like this last arc that much but that Sisters Arc made up for it. I wasn't too much of a fan of the first series, the slice of life episodes and the cutesy stuff isn't exactly my cup of tea. That said I'm glad I stayed around for the second series, very good. Misaka 10032 was very funny, and the arc was a heck of a lot better in this series than in Index. Also I have to admit I prefer Misaka as the protagonist over Tomua he's pretty boring/generic. |

Again I dont really see the difference between them. Sure when Misaka says she will help/save someone she says it because she knows she can do it(Sister's arc aside) due to her powers not being restricted to the reach of one hand,even if her plan is destroy everything around she could do it easily, while Touma is just reckless, most of the time heading out without a plan.But That doesnt make any of them better than the other. |
| wtf was that? i thought those mechas were inmune to Misakas attacks, Saten piloting a humoungus mecha? i dont think its fair for me to give this second season a lower score than the first one so ill give it a 6/10 instead of the 5 i think it deserves can i watch the movie now that i finished this season? |

What did you expect from a filler original arc that just caters to the Railgun anime only fans?That's why we recommended to watch up to 16. The movie had nothing to do with Railgun.Index is the series that you hav eto watch for that. |

silversaint said: THey only share one arc and that was eps 2-16 of this season. Railgun S just took what in Index (Light novel) was Touma finding out about the clones and saving them and gave Misaka's POV that was only implied during the bridge scene.ssjokg said: What did you expect from a filler original arc that just caters to the Railgun anime only fans?That's why we recommended to watch up to 16.

You can even skip this arc in Index(which was like 4 eps). Everything else is a different arc with mostly different characters. The Index chars and its magic side is what matters in the movie. |
| i felt somewhat opposite to the popular opinion. I felt like the Sisters arc was a little overplayed and way too heavy to be at the beginning, but couldn't possibly see them end on it either. I liked the idea of the last arc, except the last episode. It was just way too over the top for me. The first series killed this one dead imo. I also thought using ITEM as a plot device failed. the only rewarded us by using them in the last episode. Otherwise i thought it was just convient usage of a bad guy club. With all that said, i really hope they make some more of this series, even though i was a disappointed with this season, it still gets a high 7 from me just because most of it was so well done. Some of the most enjoyable anime i've ever seen. And pretty weird that its about middle school girls. Hopefully we can get back to Index now. |

ITEm isnt even a "bad guy club".They take on jobs as mercenaries for the good of the City.They didnt attack Misaka because she is the good guy , they did it because she is the "bad guy" going around destroying facilities.That aside they are one of the important parts of Raildex. Railgun isnt about middle school girls.It is like Index a story of citizens of Academy City trying to lead peaceful lives that just dont seem to come. That the director feels like making Railgun seem like Tyru Yuri with superpowers isnt the fault of the writer. |
| That arc was so painful. I would have preferred 8 beach episodes, or at least similar SOL situations. Why are only kids espers? |
GarLogan78 said: Academy City has been around for only 20-30 years.We dont know when exactly it became a city for "esper students".Assuming that they started taking in kids as students 10 years after it's establishment then the older espers(18-21 years old or so) should be at collage(and thats assuming that AC has been around for 30 years.That arc was so painful. I would have preferred 8 beach episodes, or at least similar SOL situations. Why are only kids espers? |

I just thought it was odd that we never saw any adults using powers. |
| All these mechas made me think it was a different anime for a second there. The cheesiness and openings are everywhere. Still the execution was great at some parts which got me absorbed and turned my brain off. The Accelerator and loli Misaka cameo of them being together during the ending sequence made this episode worth it. 4/5 ep 8/10 series |
| Damn these shit anime original endings. At least the sister's arc was great. |
| So many insert songs. |
 |
| What a great ending.Impressive :D Everyone was so amazing.They brought so much people to help them JUDGEMENT!!!FTW :) The fight was epic.That Kongou transformer WOOOW epic!!! So the original melting girl discovered that they were testing her and destroyed all their robotos xD Everyone whas there to help even Harue and Banri ^^ Nunotaba worth to insert that "thing" to try to give Misaka clones feelings,at least it worked in 1 of them all :D Misaka & Shirai did it yeees. Aahaha Nunotaba in a maid outfit taking care of Febri and Janie.What a great ending Onee-sama <3 :D 10/10 This anime is really great.I loved it. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Overall weaker second arc compared to the first :/ Ah well. Overall pretty good second season. :) |
 |
| Better than the first season ... but still had to give both an 8/10. I enjoyed Index more. |
 |
| lol mechas wtf. 7/10 I guess. A very generous score to be honest. I didn't mind Febri. I didn't think the sister arc (canon arc) wasn't THAT GREAT anyways. (8/10) I seriously hated Misaka's cringey dialogue throughout the series. |
| Mechas? Really? The power of friendship saves the day again. >> |
 |
| Slightly better than S1 but still nothing special 6/10. I just can't seem to bring myself to like J.C.Staff's adaptions of Raildex,they're all so underwhelming.Though Index was atleast decent while Railgun was just terrible overall. I hope by the time they make Index III they do a better job at adapting the novels. |
| BGM-kun? BGM-kun?! Why you so OP?? (*pun lol) The last episode was decent, if we ignore the horrible build-up to it. I watched it for the action and music. |
| My Reviews and Rants: http://bunny1ov3r.wordpress.com/ 痛就是爱 |
| The Sister's Arc was probably the most interesing part about this since you got to relive Index season 1 though Misaka's eyes and a little bit of Touma's with a little bit of refined detail. The Accelerator fight was much better too. I looked back and forth between both anime while watching and looking at the differences and mainly the vending machine scene had the most differences, but it was mainly the animation detail overall from Index season one that couldn't beat our current gens. I'm going to hope an Index 3 comes out BEFORE another Railgun season. |
