I don't think I'm overthinking anything, or if I am, that's not necessarily a bad thing (as long as it's fun). The setting of the Raildex franchise is one of its few worthwhile aspects to me, so of course I'd want to learn more about it. After completing it a few weeks ago, I still ended up preferring Railgun 1 over Index 1. The only thing I liked about Index 1 was the Sisters arc anyways; the main reason I tried Railgun was because I wanted to see more of Mikoto. I could go on about what I liked or didn't like about Railgun, but if you visit the rest of the episode discussions, you'll be able to see my ramblings anyways. I think dropping shows one doesn't enjoy is the only way it makes sense to watch anime, or any kind of long form media. I only have one life, why waste it on entertainment or art I don't enjoy? |

The setting of the Raildex franchise is one of its few worthwhile aspects to me, so of course I'd want to learn more about it. Oh, I wasn't implying I thought it was a bad thing, more that it would take a spinoff dedicated to, to establish an in-depth hierarchy of those organizations and that this anime is an unlikely place for that. I find it interesting too... in general, I find the whole of Academy City much more interesting than the "school themed" worlds of most other anime I've watched. I'd appreciate ANY additional content they release to flesh the world of this out. I think the theme is very overused and stale by now, but sometimes an anime can do it right. Academy City is tangible enough for me to be interested in, unlike many others. There's a massive amount of potential here, and most of it is untapped. (at least, as far as I can tell, being more or less anime-only) LeeTailor said: I think dropping shows one doesn't enjoy is the only way it makes sense to watch anime, or any kind of long form media. I only have one life, why waste it on entertainment or art I don't enjoy? I agree with this - usually - but I guess it depends on which we're talking about and why. I've just noticed a plague of people on the internet (not just these forums) that appear to be Index fans, but for some reason drop Railgun. It never struck me as that bad even in the slowest of episodes, so it surprises me to see people turn on it, but not it's sister show - though I was told recently that the novels are far better than the anime - in which case I understand, because the Index anime was a disaster imo. Index was almost bad enough for me to drop... but it takes a lot for me to permanently drop a series, evidently. As far as Railgun S - it's a bit more intense than the first season, and they revisit some things in greater depth - showing what Misaka was up to in-between her appearances in Index, which I thought was a good touch. I'll leave out any actual info in the event that you do watch it, of course. I found it to be worthwhile, *easily* my favorite of the 4 "a certain" anime seasons at this point. Well, I'm still not sure about the final episode, I feel like many, it was rushed or hashed in ... but still, it was entertaining, if a little too fast. I'm hoping for more in this vein ... I see that Index is getting a S3 ...somehow... so there's hope yet on this. |

| This was a fun episode with some cute moments, and a little character development for Misaka, so nothing too special but pretty decent overall Also it's nice that Saten continues to show she's no level 0 when it comes to playful humour. Always enjoy the Uiharu/Saten dynamic |
| So the guy who gets bullied is the bomberman, who would have guessed. An okay episode overall, was pretty generic imo. |
| Kuroko always makes me laugh and the ending was hilarious. |

| Such a waste of Parfait 😭😭 |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Graviton explosions, those powers are pretty cool. Misaka thought that being part of Judgement would be kicking ass all the time, but it's definitely quite more than just that, she definitely appreciates Uiharu and Kuroko more now. |
 |
| well that was something..that I have to say...but this still seems a bit of light humor hmmm |
 |
| Misaka working with Judgment for one day was fun to watch. It was a bit weird that the bomb was forgotten for most of the episode but the post-credits scene was interesting. It seems that glasses guy is suspicious. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Little exciting episode, except for the few seconds following the ending, in which the narration revives in a dramatic and interesting way. Storytelling that still manages to convey an underlying message. |
 |
| Misaka, this is not children game.. You shouldn't really say that you are indeed from Judgement.. Oh man.. I mean.. What if they have some secret hand gestures to talk during operation for example, and you don't know such thing?.. It'd make trouble.. Oh well, let's see.. Well, this anime is truly more focused on the work and cases of Judgement really.. I have nothing against this, though.. I guess Index first season (which I watched) was more about Index only in the beginning.. And then more about other characters.. So even if show from Toaru series is called by someone's name, it's not necessary focused primarily on him.. Understood.. Even if this episode in particular had Misaka more involved into Judgement, and more focus on her as well.. |
| Hmm so now she knows her work is not that easy as she thought. That guy who got bullied could have had a better role with different mindset. |
| these episodes looks like fillers to me, idk... i hope the story gets better, i'm really enjoying until now, but it's starting to get boring with these "small arcs". maybe next episode it gets better, let's see why the hell that guy is exploding things/places. |
 |
| Misaka day in life as Judgment... given Misaka nice perspective. ohh shit the after credit scene, things got real real. |
 |
| Nice episode, but besides setting up plot for future episodes, it didn't do anything particularly interesting |
| Lamest episode so far looks absolutely out of place |
