dniv said: Also, Thanglong, I'm sorry. I just read your post slightly wrong and I had not yet seen the episode. I very much agree with what you were trying to say. My Apologies :D Nah, there is no need to apologize :) we are not always seeing the same as others even though we all watched the same show. That's why discussion thread exists :D Your love for Railgun series is admirable. Although I do not like it as much, it is one of the shows I update regularly this season. I agree that JC Staff is making a good adaptation. They've redeemed themselves a bit after Index. |
 |
| Filler. What can you do. They gotta give Saten and the others some screentime as they're obviously needed >_>. Could have been worse but it's okay I guess. At least the preview looks great. It's Fre|nda! Yeah, I want to join in the in-joke as well :P Oh and we already have the seiyuus for ITEM. Saw it on /a/ earlier. Fre|nda will be voiced by Uchida Maaya. Kinuhata will be voiced by Akasaki Chinatsu. Takitsubou will be voiced by Suzaki Aya. Mugino will be voiced by Koshimizu Ami, same as the one in the PSP game. Good choices overall and glad they kepy Koshimizu for Mugino. Should be good. |
 |
| Oh same VA as Rikka for Frenda from Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!, nice. Actually, I see two voice actresses from Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! for ITEM's members. I just also listened to Koshimizu Ami's voice for Mugino in the PSP game and seems decent enough. |
 |
| boring as fuck. finally we get to something new. |
    |
| Bring it on ITEM!!! YES! Can't wait >_< |
 |
| Is it just me or did the animation feel really poor this episode? During the first half, the characters felt really poorly drawn and Kuroko was extremely rigidy. Maybe it's just me. |
tsubasalover said: More level 5s next ep. SO EXCITED A nice episode full of Kuroko, so I'm hapy |
| soft spoken Kuroko >3 excited for next week knew they would call for some help after all those labs were blown up Misaka is already worn out and she has to fight level 5s?! D: |
 |
| 2/5 weak sauce. Definitely looking foward to the next ep tho |
| This episode may have been mostly filler, but it was good filler. I especially liked the focus on Kuroko. It was far more respectful to her characterization than the anime has been to her in the past (especially the first season *shudder*). Now for seven days to pass. I can hardly wait for a certain group of characters to show up. :3 |
| I almost fell asleep.God, how i hate fillers (at least most of them). 2/5 and can't wait to see next episode.Looks like new characters show up :D |
 |
ssjokg said: Hey look it's Fre nda!! Made my day. Anyway, terrible terrible ep. Really hope they don't have more of these filler eps later on. |
 |
| Ok. Whoever said this filler would suck was sorely mistaken. It was a nice and heartwarming to see more of how Kuroko is dealing with Mikoto's actions. At the same time, we had decent characterization of Kuroko as somebody more than just an obsessive Mikoto-sexual. While it wasn't the best episode and I am going to be pretty hard to impress until next week after I read NT07, I was genuinely surprised about the filler. It didn't feel out of place or break the mood at all. It was a nice, alleviating transition before the fun stuff. So, JC Staff: 5/5. On the next episode: ITEM! WOOT! dniv said: For those of you who might care: here are the next few episodes names: Episode 8: ITEM Episode 9: Episode 10: I am putting the episode names in spoilers just in case. So, it seems like the adaptation schedule for the next three episodes will be On another note, about the title for episode 9...JC Staff is being pretty subtle with the WWIII arc spoilers, isn't it. Oh well...more hints that an Index III is definitely happening soon. |

| A far more atmospheric and relaxing episode that kind acts as an intermission to all the things that have happened up so far. I liked it, well probably because it was basically a Kuroko episode. Oh for anyone curious to why people put a space half way in that blonde girl's name, don't research it or you'll spoil yourself big time. |
 |
| This was an okay episode. The preview for the next episode looks good. |
 |
| LOL @ Uiharu's expressions to Saten.. Wow the preview looks badass! |
| I actually didn't mind the focus on Kuroko, it's good story telling to show how hard this is on her. Little boring, but a good bridge episode I guess. I did think her metaphor with the butterflies was touching. Shingeki no Facilities!!! |
 |
| waha! A ponytail and a cap looks really cute on Misaka! |
| Next ep seems awesome. ONEESAMA no chikara ni naritai desu no～ AlexTheRiot said: Shingeki no Facilities!!! 'Shingeki No Kyojin' doesn't mean 'Attack on Titan' So, no, 'shingeki no facilities' doesn't translate to 'attack on facilities' |

| 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. |
| At least it wasn't a completely filler episode. The next episode will surely make up for this one. |
 |
| I know Mikoto is doing something important, but... She's still (IMO) kind of abusing Kuroko. She knows that Kuroko would never go against her and she takes advantage of that. Also, I don't know why they didn't have Kuroko help Mikoto, with her Teleportation abilities I'm sure Mikoto could destroy these labs a lot quicker. |

Misaka won't endanger her friends, or risk them becoming too involved in AC's underbelly. Not to mention if Misaka can't defend herself against Accelerator, then how can she protect others? It's something she needs to do alone (at least for now). |
 |
| Meh episode. Next episode looks good though. |
| My Anime Blog: http://www.Entravity.com/ Episodic overviews of the latest anime. |
| I demand more Misaka in short shorts and a ponytail. |
| Just a bit fillerish, but we get to see Kuroko's feeling from the side. And Mikoto already begun to physically break down. Some facilities blew up. I'm waiting for Item. |
 |
| I don't really like the direction this is going. I always see these sorta things. And is getting repetitive. I am watching for that guy to appear with the right hand. This anime has officially been turned to one of those which i would watch during my shower. |
| anyone care to enlighten me about the "FRE | NDA" joke? XD I still have to watch season 1 of Railgun (almost done DLing) and I don't read the novels nor read the manga :( so if there would be someone kind-hearted enough to educate an ignorant like me XD |
...if you're going to say what you want to say, you're going to hear what you don't want to hear... |
| We see some side of Kuroko that rarely exposed this episode. And it look like we will see Mugino and Fre nda next episode. |

 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| a good filler episode... LOL at saten doing the fast hand moves and sniffing money card... can't wait to see Fre nda and the ITEM next week... xD |
Well, that choice isn't half bad. ... Sorry... I know that's a bad one ): About Mugino: I can't really imagine Kallens VA to fit her personality that well... Was she really that good in the game? |

It's something she needs to do alone (at least for now). On top of that, involving Kuroko here, someone who is a member of Judgment, would ruin continuity for the rest of the series. To say it without spoilers, things would progress quite differently from how they actually do in the manga and in the Index novels/manga/anime. Remember, this is fairly early in the Toaru timeline still. Since it would ruin continuity and also be OOC of Mikoto to get Kuroko to help her out in something so dangerous, horrifying and personal, it seems that the best that J.C. Staff can do to involve the other three main girls and give them screentime is filler like this. Thankfully it is good filler that helps develop the bond between Mikoto and the others (especially Kuroko). Just because Mikoto doesn't want to involve them and will avoid doing so doesn't mean she can't still receive support from them in various ways. The support Kuroko has for Mikoto isn't going by unnoticed, as we saw toward the end of this episode. :) |

| Hm, was a fun episode. Sure I would have preferred it continued the story but at least it had its nice moments. Especially seeing Kuroko being worried was worth watching the episode. |
 |
| The effects of turning a small amount of material into 24 episodes is becoming glaringly obvious. So much filler, comparable to a long running action shounen -_-. I also hate when shows take the view point of someone boring as shit or doing nothing while something interesting is going on. |
| This episode was kind of boring.. but! next episode we gonna see ITEM so i'm happy. |

The issue is that they are adapting this into probably something like 14-18 episodes as JC Staff is adapting other material. In the manga, the arc is 22 chapters long (monthly chapters, mind you. Not weekly style 18 page chapters) and have only covered about 8 chapters so far. At the same time, this filler was meant to show you another perspective to this arc.

| certainly could've used more action, but i didn't mind the filler-ish parts. the main story is mixed in enough that it didn't feel like your typical ignore-the-main-plot filler episode that we get from most anime. misaka in a baseball cap wins points by itself, and i always welcome more appearances from serious-kuroko. shirai really pulled at the heartstrings this time. |

Exactly this. There is good filler and there is bad filler. I would easily say that this episode fell into the category good filler. |

| Kind of a waste of an episode... |
| Last week was one of the best Misaka episodes ever and this week was a solid Shirai episode. Just putting it out there: This definitely has the potential to be better than season 1. |
 |
| The episode kinda felt like a filler. Though maybe it's not all too bad to have an episode that would focus on Kuroko and her feelings, since she wouldn't get much screentime otherwise in this arc... |

Naoki-Saten said: The episode kinda felt like a filler. Though maybe it's not all too bad to have an episode that would focus on Kuroko and her feelings, since she wouldn't get much screentime otherwise in this arc... It felt like a filler cause it WAS a filler. In the manga Misaka immediately goes to destroy facilities, and Kuroko with friends haven't any time to shine. |

I think it's well on its way to being better than season 1. Sometimes you need something on the light side to balance out the darker tones and this episode did that plus provided some nice Kuroko characterization in the process. |
