touma well have a fairly amount of screen time so don't worry and you aren't the only one complaining about the lack of touma i tell you that.
I definitely agree with you guys, I want more Touma. I'm pretty there is absolutely no Touma in the Liberal Arts and Sciences field trip so... we better have him early on, or they could just show him a little for fun during it...

touma is a very popular character so i bet jc staff are gonna try to make sure touma gets a fair amount of screentime and if you looked around youtube lately and other websites you notice many MANY fans seems to be asking for more touma screentime as well as accelerator seems like both are MC became quite a success in the popularity thanks to index season 2(but in my opinion it wasn't all that great compare to index season 1 and railgun as well).

If the same thing is happening on Japanese websites in Japanese then maybe J.C. staff will listen. I just think that J.C. staff probably isn't that aware of stuff happening in the U.S. Their main target audience is in Japan. Maybe in this case they are taking a little more notice, because they are going as far as to have funimation streaming/showing the subbed version. This implies that they might be more focused on the West. I hope this is so and they listen to us. But they show should be Misaka cenetered, this is about Mikoto after all.

We're still at the part where she still didn't know about it. The current timeline is around the Deep Blood arc in Index. August 10 is the current date to be exact. This season won't overlap with Index until later on.

Index Episodes 10-14 take place on August 21st.
Railgun S Episode 2-3 is August 10th (The day after the Deep Blood Arc-Touma is right now sitting in a hospital after Heaven Canceller reattached his severed arm). Mikoto only finds out about the original Radio Noise Plan (as well as its cancellation) on the same night. She finds out that the clones are still being produced and about the Level 6 Shift Project on August 15th which will be a couple of episodes from now.

This needs spoiler tags since it contains more than just the content someone would remember from Index anime.not to mention those new to the series.

It's kind of funny though. When I noticed that the Liberal Arts City arc is maybe two weeks after the Sister's arc I was surprised at how little time difference there was between the events. Then I noticed that
almost all of the events in the novels occur within the period of less than 6 months (so far anyway)
. That made me realize that 2 weeks is actually a lot of time relatively.
And yes CreationBreaker, try using spoilers.
I hope they do this arc correctly. More than likely they will not just because it's so hard to put that in a show like railgun with a completely different first season. If they manage to actually do it as well as the manga or better, I will be the happiest person alive (It doesn't take much to please me).
I had one problem with the episode ... not enough Saten.
That being said i liked the pacing alot more then the first episode, which to me felt alot like Railgun + 1 now i can truly say the series looks like it's stepping up.
MoonxArtemis said: With Saten thinking she saw Misaka earlier, even though it wasn't her. And this new character telling Misaka that she is the original makes it clear there is another Misaka. And the talking about the clones of a level 5 esper. So exactly how many clones does she have?
You would know about it, if you already watched To Aru Majutsu no Index I & II
New this girl was probably there that day. I smell plot coming thick like gravy
Be thankful for those you have near who are dear
For time is not always kind to those who would be on your mind
Seize the day, some exclaim, but that which is past, no more shall have its day.
Lol Saten, that sense of smell so sharp?
Lol Kuroko, she even had that secret collection Misaka's voices
That performance so impressive..
I hope there's new Misaka Misaka, Accelerator, and Touma next ep XD
If you can keep your head when all those around you are losing theirs, you can be a scary boss. :)
I figured her 'ability' was psychological warfare after she turned out the lights. She wasn't shown doing anything, so I figured there was something hidden. Misaka has an interesting theory: anesthetic. Wonder how those guys will feel when they wake up in custody... but why were their eyes open? Did she really kill them?
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

Had a similar thought as well, I thought her ability was to amplify fear to the point of causing the opponents to faint.
Forgetfulness said: I'm really wondering what the purpose of the cash cards is. Also thought it was pretty interesting how Saten is still going around collecting stuff after the Level Upper arc.
Anyway, can't wait to see the sisters and how all the other random characters are related to it.
Just wondering, is the whole anime about the Sisters arc or just part of it?
Also, did they just say that her clothes cost 37,000 yen? That's like 370 dollars for a set of clothes. What the actual fuck?
The majority of the series is about The Sister arc.
Misaka's family is considered rich and due to being a Level 5 she has a very big extra income from Academy City as well.There are also the cards she found.
Pretty awesome development, the dream and flashbacks she had, that girl in those is now that girl she met in the end? Well what had she to do with her and her clones? Either way some real interesting development so lets see what's next!
Great! The plot starts immediately in the fourth giving mystery and new characters. Narration more than satisfactory from the prints mold comic that softens and welcomes the vision of one of my favorite series. Too bad there is more slice of life, I do not know that I would give! XD
Design that maintains a good quality and cleaning, also coupled to a work of animation is not bad! Color and design scenarios promoted!
Rating of 5/5 more than deserved today! * _ *
Misaka is been op an there doesnt seem to be any rival worthy of her (besides spike haired guy) so the idea of seeing her fighting her clones could be great
WTF?Why take free money to police?xD
This new girl woooooooow so OP wow!Those guys messed up with the wrong girl.
Misaka clones?wow It seems that Railgun S will be alot better :D
Shirai got some Onee-Sama voice recordings ahaha

Those doctors SICKEN ME! How dare they use her DNA Map for their selfish desires! They even let her see stuff that kids should not be subject to. What a world. Corrupt, sinful.
That girl in the blue hair was that girl in Misaka's flashback! Her ability Critical, even with al that explaination still isn't clear.
Looks like people just have too much money on their hands =P. Can't people just leave it at that?

Mmm, I don't know if I'm looking too far into it, but is it me or that girl have a very similar personnality than MISAKA? It was also the girl from Misaka flashback. Maybe the sisters are a mix of the two.
About those envelope, maybe the sisters are supposed to search them and Accelerator is supposed to kill them while they are looking for them. Like those credit card are their way to keep themself alive, but it's also big traps.
Well, she really fooled me, that sneaky girl. I was wondering why Misaka wasn't stopping her from killing those guys, but I feel like I was as dumb as those guys. Well, no, those guys were particuliarly dumb, but whatever.
Oh Saten... You weird girl. It was also hilarious those people who were casually crossing that alley, with that fucking fatty at the end xD
That dude gave no fuck.
