| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nunotaba is a cool girl tbh. Oneeeesama. Obligatory Misaka face: Kinda like the new OST, can't wait for it to come out. Misaka clone spotted at the end. I saw that coming considering this is the Sister's Arc. |
 |
| That girl introduced Misaka into investigate the rumor that she heard everywhere. She also experienced that experiment. 37000 yen of clothes and needing hotel room for change? And by cash? Misaka's so rich! lol~ Haruura getting more cards than Saten! LOL~~~ KUROKO!! Misaka clone was already created before she realized (that past scene in last ep. is when). That Misaka clone deleted the data! Next Title: Sisters, that means more clones meeting Misaka? |

| Omg this was such a perfect episode. Seriously it had such an eerie atmosphere that i loved. Misakas expressions were superb and the music nicely paired with her feelings . Everyone else got a bit of screen time too. Kuroooooooookoooooooo!!!! <3 <3 Why is she always the best :3 PS> These eyes <3 |
 |
| I really wish they didn't cut away from the plot for Saten, Haruue and Uiharu to talk about not much at all for a pretty fair amount of time, but I realize that this is JC Staff. |
 |
| I wouldn't have minded it so much if it was the only scene, but then it followed it up with 5 seconds of plot, then another scene of Kuroko being Kuroko (though this one was in the manga). That sequence just felt disjointed as a result. |
|
| Things are starting to shape up now with a clone out and about. Man, I think Arai, Satomi was literally screaming "Onee-sama!" as hard as she could during Kuroko's scene. So funny! |

Have you heard of easing in the tension and not throwing away other characters in a show? I like Shonen anime and manga a lot, but one bad thing about many shonen shows and many anime is that they focus too much on one character and ignore everyone else. That is not only amateurish, but stupid. The plot is going to get darker soon. They didn't want to go any further with the plot this week because it would ruin the pacing. Like CreationBreaker said last week: They are doing one chapter per episode apparently. It was the perfect stopping point. It was nice seeing her friends doing things. Being able to see their opinions while she's going through this might end up being important in some way. Since it is the anime, maybe The show is called Railgun after Misaka: but there are 4 main characters. And Harue as well.. So I mean... why else would they have asked for 24 episodes of material. When the series is over: if you don't like anything except the manga plot: then just watch the scenes that you like from the episodes and don't complain about the good character development we are seeing that was not present in the manga. I think it's important to see this. Regarding your comment in the spoiler, if that happens it had better damn well be done in a way that still since that would ruin continuity with the rest of the Index series. It is an important fact in Index II and the Index novels that I'm all for good filler and slight changes to improve flow and pacing, but I dislike when it ruins other things. Like continuity. |
| SISTERS ARC HERE WE COME Accelerator <3 |

| Lol that piano piece when Kuroko goes full yuri mode. (s1 memories) With the way Kuroko lewdly attacked that bear, I think Misaka may have bigger problems to worry about than her clones. |

| meh.. this doesnt feel like a s2 since i watched index. |

NghiemxHuynh said: I'm confused here, This is a sequel right? Why is the storyline going backwards? I mean, in the first season, didn't all the clones get killed off leaving a child version of Mikoto? Unless, this is a backstory on how the clones came to be, but then wasn't that covered in the first season as well? I'm confused as to the sequence of the episodes. O_o Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying this season a lot but i'm just confused as to why Mikoto is surprised that there are clones of her, when she encountered them back in the first season. Could someone shed some light on this for me? Railgun happens before Index S1. It's not a sequel. Eventually, there will be concurrent events like this one. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| lol, didn't u know? First season of railgun is a prequel to majutsu and railgun S. The sister arc is happening at the same time as majuutsu but we're seeing it in misaka's perspective now. |
| Heh so there is someone who can get away with beating on Misaka :P was kinda cool seeing her in different clothes for once Kuroko pls can't leave that girl alone to long! |
 |
| Kuroko's final comment after the credits LOL! |
| A breathe of relief for Misaka, but only for a bit! The Railgun Anime is MUCH more enjoyable to me... |

| Misaka looked really cute this episode. |
 |
| There it is! The other side of the Sisters Arc that we don't know. Misaka, that is your biggest miscalculation. I really can't wait to see Misaka finding out the truth and destroying all of the related labs. |

| Well this episode was really interesting to watch, seeing how Misaka first learned about this whole Radio Noise Sisters project and her reaction to it. Can't wait to see what she'll act like when she finds out it isn't time for relief yet though and meets one of her clones. Misaka looked so nice in her street outfit. And haha Haruue is just too good. |
 |
| i was really confused at first why Misaka was confused about the clones having watched index s1 and s2, but it makes sense now that this happens before S1. Good episode overall. |
| I had just finished rewatching the sisters arc in Index S1, so this episode felt all sorts of weird for me. It took me the longest time to realize that railgun is set before index xD |
| Sister Arc Misaka Pov ! Come come ! Come at me ! |
 |
| Liking the direction it's going a lot. Definitely stronger than the last season. |

| Wow that didn't really feel like a whole episode. And wow I really thought she would run into her "clone" this episode. THE SUSPENSE...not really. Anyways as always kuroko is hilarious. |
 |
xEMx said: Yeah it's a bit confusing at first as an anime only watcher. I don't even remember if Index season 2 finished the story or not.Man good thing I came to read the comments here. I was all kinds of confused. It'd been a while since I watched Index and Railgun I mixed up their plots haha. |
| Shisutaazu. Nice prequel. Nuno the Westaboo. ONEESAMA! |
| 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. |
| Lol at Kuroko playing with the teddy bear. ONEE-SAMA!!! lol |
 Lol. @ the guard watching Shakugan no Shana. |
 |
| I'm confused. I thought Misaka already met her sisters? I guess it was on Index. Damn, I don't remember what happened in Season 1 of Railgun =.= All I remember was the poltergeist. I guess I need to rewatch it and also the s1 and s2 of index. |
| Wait.. what? In Index I when she met Touma she could introduce her clones.. In Railgun she already met Touma.. In Railgun S (the sequel to Railgun) she doesn't know about her clones? This makes no sense.. someone care to explain this for me? |

This makes no sense.. someone care to explain this for me? I always knew this would happen to anime only viewers. XD Basically earlier Railgun S1 happen before Index S1. First three ep in Railgun S1 happen much earlier which is before Touma meet Index yet. At that time Misaka knows Touma earlier because he did save her from the thugs from flashback you can see from ep 4, thats why they knew each other. After that when Level Upper arc occur, Index S1 start there where Touma meet his misfortunes. There actually hint of this in manga where Touma ask where to find a church which is a reference to Index first arc (The anime change it to statue & Kiyama do not appear in that scene, she first introduced in the hospital scene in manga) From there on they don't meet much because Touma busy with his story at that point. In Railgun S, Railgun story starts to intersect with Index timeline. The Sister arc in Railgun happen at the same time with Index first & second arc. After that Index Sister arc & Railgun Sister arc intersect when Misaka met Touma again where she introduce her clone. This is important since at that point Touma From there on Index Sister arc happen from Touma POV while Railgun Sister arc are from Misaka POV. I hope that could help you understand the timelines :) |

GrayFT said: Lol. @ the guard watching Shakugan no Shana. Wait, I thought that is some kind of Mahou Shoujo shows :) This episode was handled really well. Suspense was built up nicely with Misaka being a convincing lead. Kurono has upped her lesbianism considerably lol xD |
 |
so this season is about misaka's clones maybe i should read info first before watching xD but that`ll spoil me lol EVERY PEDOBEARS' DREAM  |
