| yeah, stream was epic crap this time. also missed the part before the op but that may have been my network. and yeah they left out the bridge scene that started index. i was actually talking to my friend about this the other day and i think they may have done it because it didn't work very well in the manga. by that i mean it was clearly different from how it happened from touma's perspective - it even seemed as though touma was meeting her for the first time in index which is definitely not the case in railgun as everyone has seen. so there are two explanations: 1) mikotosama said a bunch of things to touma that he doesn't remember when you're seeing it from his perspective (i.e., the first episode of index) - being a typical male? or - 2) they retconned the scene. so no retcon in the anime (at least not thus far). but things are moving right along with the harumi hospital scene so it's not as if they are going on a big detour (at least not right away - that new chick who calls herself atai may distract for a few episodes). i thought everything leading up to the atai was very well done though - and it was clearly a high budget/talent team doing the animation this time. i could tell that even from the insanely crappy stream. really looking forward to the hd raw for this one. crappier than normal crapcaps: |
 |
| High quality episode, not only animation-wise. Really nice fight there, but it was somewhat left unresolved. Only revelation was that level upper doesn't come without strings attached. We'll see. Kuroku was really near to killing herself twice this time. Impressive regeneration by the looks... |
| Why do people watch the eye-cancer causing stream? It was an ok episode, Kuroku was quite funny in this episode. |
There is not much that happened except level upper! Comedy was good with Shirai in a panic when Saten was feeding that ice treat to Misaka and when Shirai was banging her head on the table as Misaka was talking with those guys to see where is that level upper. Guess now I can say all that my friend told her on MAL about level upper that was said in this episode. It is a song and people do fall into a coma after using it but the time is random. You can access through the internet and I think download the song. If I heard correctly Kaitabi Hatsuya with the graviton was level 2 and got to level 4. He was listening to the music a lot too...is why he had his headphones on all time...right? Was the bridge part skipped after the restaurant part or after the fight part again girl with red rose jacket? Is that girl also the Kiyama Harumi? She looks like it. Find Saten being very nice to heal Uiharu and Uiharu kind of cute when sick. Fight....was excellent and it was interesting to see red rose jacket girl to use cement manipulation. Liked a lot this part: when Misaka shoots her electricity only to be blocked by a cement block. Too bad in the end Misaka made electriciy go out in many places...caused traffic problems. So at the end Kiyama Harumi comes...and I know what happens to Saten....I am afraid for her now that she found out level upper song.HoaRy said: Mikoto and Kuroko did great. And the fight was short, but very nice. Yeah that was the problem the fight was too short and no Touma = :( HoaRy said: Now with Kiyama and the level upper unconsciousness, there is potential for nice plot now. Oh yes, there is a lot. Thanks to a friend of mine who explained it to me. HoaRy said: And Ayako seem to have broken any sub record with this. Just 3 min after the first raw, wow. Yes, I was surprised at that too. They must like this serie. H3i said: Why do people watch the eye-cancer causing stream? To me it is faster than torrents sometimes, comes out faster than torrents do also. |

 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| So, the use of Level Upper comes at a price? Hardly surprising there, as the general rule that anything you can get for cheap or even free comes at a high cost eventually. I laughed at Kuroko in the restaurant scene. Mikoto acting all cute was pure win. |

| Kuroko was absolutely hilarious again. First tragedy with indirect kisu, then martyrdom of hers in the restaurant :D |

| Hmm i felt something missing on the restaurant..what was it..hmmm oh Well it's good to be different..the battle make up for it Kuroko really make me laughing again how she bang her head, and her voice suit her very well, nobody can resist Misaka if she is begging like that XD |
 |
| No Touma this week? -__- Misaka's acting towards those guys in the restaurant was adorable and funny at the same time :D Laevantein said: Hmm i felt something missing on the restaurant..what was it..hmmm oh Well it's good to be different..the battle make up for it Wait Touma appears here in the manga? Maybe I should start reading it then. I've been wanting to read it anyway. Anyway, the fight was good so it's still okay :D |
| This is a signature. |
| The quantum theory of human consciousness on changing reality is actually scientifically proven (sounds impossible right?). Looks like the characters isn't just saying random scientific stuff to make it sound "deep". I am interested on seeing what kind of power Saten will get or if she will get one. Maybe it only works on people who has abilities? Her dilemma is understandable. After all... we all want to know why we are here or our purpose... Well, in their universe it is more dramatic. Fascinating episode indeed. |

| Kuroko slamming her head a lot in this episode. Seeing Mikoto acting cute was pretty funny. |
 |
| Wow seriously who would have thought all the episodes before actually had a meaning for the main plot very very interesting. |
| OMFG Mikoto has outdone herself with that act!!! What the hell was that XD And crying? The story about parents :D She thought of it very quickly :D I was just a bit surprised, like i was watching a completely different character :P Never expected her to put up with it, not even for work XD |
| AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Misaka in innocent loli mode was so moe I almost died. >< Stop doing this, JC Staff, stop trying to kill me. D: One of the better episode, with the plot finally moving forward. That ice cream tasting part made me laugh and once again Misaka putting on that act at the restaurant was fuck*ng awesome, moe and funny at the same time. |
| Awesome episode like always. Next episode looks very promising! |

kage-bunshin said: everyone is just falling unconcious for no apparent reason, so they turn to... the streaker woman! Hey in times of strife, only fools turn to those that aren't a little crazy! You know, if Kuroko keeps beating her head against blunt objects throughout this show, she's liable to accidentally transport her brains to the outside world. Assuming they're still in one piece at that point... |

| BiriBiri's act was irresistibly AWESOME!!! @ everyone, STFU about Touma, he's a lame character and the less we see of him the better. The fact that he has already appeared in this anime will keep it from getting a perfect score from me. ONCE AGAIN......... RAILGUN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>crappy index anime |
| Woo. We are getting the plot. |
    |
| I LOVED the episode! Kuroko was LOL and Mikoto was just........MOE!!! But yeah Touma was supposed to be in this episode...oh well the fight made up for t http://gamesmind.wordpress.com/2009/11/21/to-aru-kagaku-no-railgun-08-headesk-edition/ My blog entry on this episode if anyone is interested |
| Damn, I so wanted to see the scenes below animated -_-' by that i mean it was clearly different from how it happened from touma's perspective - it even seemed as though touma was meeting her for the first time in index which is definitely not the case in railgun as everyone has see Rather say Index Anime. In the light novels, during the bridge prologue it is mentioend that Touma and Mikoto knew one another for few months. |

The fact that he has already appeared in this anime will keep it from getting a perfect score from me. God Mikoto was so moe. Irreversible damage to my nutbladder. As for Level Upper, I think it's rather predictable where they're going to go with it but I'm interested nonetheless. |

The fact that he has already appeared in this anime will keep it from getting a perfect score from me. No Touma is great! Has his own unique personality and power. Don't think anyone can be him. He is in no way unique, almost every harem anime have an exact replica of Touma.. And I for one absolutely despise the characteristics of those characters. They are all useless, throw themselves in unnecessary dangers, are stupid and usually just suck at everything. Yet against all logic they always managed to save the day and everybody loves them, it just make me sick. My fist to Toumas face would easily put him down.. or a led bullet to the head, I'd love to see him block that -.- Anyway really exited over the next episode :D I wonder if Saten will use that level upper (talk about a lame name) and gain a ability of her own :) Also too bad they didn't show the part where she washed all of Uiharu body ;) |

I wonder if Saten will use that level upper (talk about a lame name) and gain a ability of her own :) Lame name? Lets see the alternative's: 1. Espero-Steroids 2. Touma's Fortune 3. Dream-Maker 4. Level+ 5. The Strnghtening Machine of Doom Hmm... Level-Upper is a great name... |

Nayrael said: It's short, it's easy to memorized, it's described it's purposed..good way to advertise "Lv Up your Lv with Lv Upper" XDI wonder if Saten will use that level upper (talk about a lame name) and gain a ability of her own :) Lame name?

EternalDreamer said: I don't think Touma is exactly like that but I like him even if he is like that just because he does have a power I did not see in other animes....then again I did not see a lot but still I don't hate his type at all. There are some exceptions but we all have our likes and don't like.francismeunier said: alexcampos said: @ everyone, STFU about Touma, he's a lame character and the less we see of him the better.

| nice episode. interesting about the level upper stuff, and decent action scenes. |
| awesome xD the take off clothes women appear again xD |

| Does anyone know what is the point of Heinseberg's uncertainty principle of quantum theory and Shrodinger's cat have to do with the Personal Realities? |
In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| A lot. Lets leave it like that because those theories are worth a whole bunch of complicated text. |

francismeunier said: Does anyone know what is the point of Heinseberg's uncertainty principle of quantum theory and Shrodinger's cat have to do with the Personal Realities? Because basically they are all about perceptive and just leave it at that because am bored writing 2000 words. For more information just study them. Moe Biribiri certainly was the most funny moment in the episode. Seeing her acting like that i completely understand why Kuroko was acting like that. I bet she couldn't believe what she was seeing. It looks like now we are getting more deeply in to the plot. A certain level 0 girl would do something dangerous from the looks of it. |
| Another great episode. This show keeps growing on me. |
| Did they just make a retcon of what happened in Index? |

| Whoa, mention of synesthesia was random. Or maybe not. Secret soundtrack on board elicits leveling up? |
   |
| Where was Touma? Why did they change that part of the manga? That's really, really bad. |
| Kuroko is really growing on me. Her voice is still annoying but she's got a great personality, lol. This was a great episode. It looks like the Level Upper is some sort of music? That would make sense why the graviton guy always had headphones on him. Can't wait for the next episode now. Seems like Saten might try out the Level Upper. |
