| yeah, i think the genius of this episode is that both people who have read the manga and people who haven't will like it more than the last one. asdf basically already said the rest of what i was going to say about that, save one thing - hilarious as it may sound, i'm pretty sure the reason they changed the rogue espers who pop up first was purely budget. think about it - is it cheaper to animate a character vanishing or a ton of bombs going off in crowded public places? but the most brilliant thing for me in this episode was saten putting on the tokiwadai uniform. somehow whoever did the screenplay really understands how to do character development. it's gratifying for someone who has read the manga to see all this and, of course, it will be gratifying to people who are rewatching the anime after it ends and who haven't read the manga, as well. i mean, what i'm talking about is enjoying the anime for itself storywise, almost as if it were an extension of the manga rather than a (possibly inferior) copy thereof, something that didn't happen for me in the first two eps so much. and it's nice. now i have two nice memories instead of one. random thoughts: - aw yeah, "ojousama no nichijou", my favorite track off the index osts! - why are there crts in university city? - loving the panopticon. hello, foucault. - don't bother telling us what you're about to do, judgment + mikotosama + saten -- just do it! so much better than index. - the breakup flashback reminded me a lot of shaft's output. wonder if the director is a fan. - kuroko's va is amazing. crap caps from the stream: |

| Does this show actually have a plot... or is it just going to be episodic? |

| The Railgun series does seem to be much more episodic than Index ... but hope the main storyline will develop itself soon... |

| That was a pretty entertaining episode. But I'd rather they get into the real plot soon. |
 |
| It was funny. Saten is awesome. |
| This was a enjoyable episode with the whole eyebrow thing. I'm pretty impress by Uiharu computer skills. |
 |
| Seems like the setting up an actual story with the level 2 girl having powers above her station. I would just like to see more rampant destruction honestly. PS: Haven't read the manga. |
| just watched episode 3 and OMG this episode was just pointless. i really did not enjoy it... if the rest of the anime will be filled with episodes like this i might even consider to drop this. i rate the episode a 2/5, i really hope they will get the main story plot movie... if they even have one... :/ |
| lol an episode with an emphasis on eyebrows xD lmao and hmm the database can be wrong eh =O |

Their little convo at the end of the episode is already hinting at what's coming later. |
Crimsonwill said: lol an episode with an emphasis on eyebrows xD lmao and hmm the database can be wrong eh =O Isn't the database built on data from Tree Diagram... and wasn't Tree Diagram destroyed by a little accident involving our good friends Toma and Index? And without the level calculating super computer, people who improve their abilities won't go up in level? Or am I looking too far into this? |
|
| This was probably the worst of the 3 episodes. No funny moments like 2 and no cool action scenes since the criminal was nothing but a silly girl. Nothing interesting about catching her. The only interesting thing was the hint that something is wrong with the computers and there data. I guess that is a hint of the plot that we are going to see in the future. On one hand of course it might be good they didn't use Kuroko lesbian jokes since it won't be a good idea to over do it. I hope something better is coming along. With some really good evil guys and not a silly girl with an eyebrow complex. |
chinlamp said: That hasn't happened yet. Touma and Biribiri haven't been introduced to each other yet, nor has their first meeting on the bridge happened yet, so he hasn't even met Index yet. That's what I was wondering, I haven't read the manga. Thanks for clearing that up. |

| Let the arc begin ffs. |
 |
| yeah that was stupid but still it was fun to watch. but now i really start to worry if they will continue like this with those 1 ep mini arcs. |
     |
| rawrs ... i wan Touma to make an appearance x_x |
     |
| Finally close to the right amount of action, powers, jokes and yuri. What Railgun should be imo. |
and hmm the database can be wrong eh =O The database is NEVER wrong. You will out later on why she was stronger then she should have been ;) and wasn't Tree Diagram destroyed by a little accident involving our good friends Toma and Index Touma has yet to meet Index yet alone accidentaly make her destroy the Tree Diagram so the Tree Diagram still exists. Touma and Biribiri haven't been introduced to each other yet They have, few months before. In ep2 you can even see that they know one another. And just to repeat it: the scene at the bridge in first episode of Index was NOT their first meeting, neither in Railgun nor in Index (only in Index manga, but Index manga is not canon). rawrs ... i wan Touma to make an appearance x_x Judging by episode titles, it seems that he will get some more screentime in ep5. |
 |
| Hmm...looks like they are slowly getting to some kind of main storyline. I look forward to more. |
| Not enough yuri. |
 |
| The OP is still good : > So... What happened to them? When will we know?x) OH SHI-! They got huge eyebrows! That' actually pretty weird >.> Alhough I understand why, since I suppose it's not that fun to have huge euebrows while being a girl |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
Oosran said: The OP is still good : > I agree : ) Also, I give the first episode a 5/5 and these last two were funny but I personally would like to see more KABOOM and WTFPWNAGE like the first episode |
| They should go and follow the manga and not do these one episode arcs .___. But anyway, I enjoyed watching this one, it was pretty funny. CherryHawk said: Oosran said: The OP is still good : > I agree : ) Yeah ! \o |
     |
| Yeah it was good until the eye brow foolish thing. The music playing in the beginning with Kongou Mitsuko was something I did not hear since finishing Index. That was nice. Since I am French, I love the reference of "Amour De Pierre/ Bijoux Mineraus" (means Love of Rocks/Jewelry Minerals) and "Les Anges"(means The Angels). Garden of Education looks like Old Europe. I was a little scared off to Komari warning that the pic are not pretty but guess not after I know what happened to Saten. "Dummy check" power is nice. I do find Juufuku Miho's story sad. If that guy did not reject her she would not do this stuff. It was funny that Miho tried to shock Misaka and did not work. Great Italian reference to treats. So now Miho is in love with Saten? O_o more girl love? The best was this: Oosran said: The OP is still good : > So... What happened to them? When will we know?x) OH SHI-! They got huge eyebrows! That' actually pretty weird >.> Alhough I understand why, since I suppose it's not that fun to have huge euebrows while being a girl It was weird yeah but also reminded me of Charlie Chaplin nad Hitler. Hhaha! Nayrael said: and hmm the database can be wrong eh =O Nayrael said: The database is NEVER wrong. You will out later on why she was stronger then she should have been ;) Maybe they forgot to update or someone was making her stronger. and wasn't Tree Diagram destroyed by a little accident involving our good friends Toma and Index Nayrael said: Touma has yet to meet Index yet alone accidentaly make her destroy the Tree Diagram so the Tree Diagram still exists. Yeah that is true since all this happens before Index. Touma and Biribiri haven't been introduced to each other yet Nayrael said: They have, few months before. In ep2 you can even see that they know one another. And just to repeat it: the scene at the bridge in first episode of Index was NOT their first meeting, neither in Railgun nor in Index (only in Index manga, but Index manga is not canon). Yeah I know that but when was it officially the first meeting? When Touma got into the city? rawrs ... i wan Touma to make an appearance x_x Nayrael said: Judging by episode titles, it seems that he will get some more screentime in ep5. It is good to hear. Like Touma since finished Index. |

 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| Good that this episode didn't have too much fan service, but eyebrows? xD |
Tosi ystävyys ei jäädy pakkasella! Thank you for your visit. Welcome again! |
HoaRy said: Monad said: This was probably the worst of the 3 episodes. I think the exact opposite. This was the first one that entertained me. Was about to drop it after this ep, but this was some little entertaining action. Definitely the first episode worth watching. The only thing I don't get is the point of the eyebrows. Could there not be something else? |
In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| It's not the database is wrong, just like the older post said, this episode is just an introduction to the plot, see the flag right?, probably 2-3 episode until the real plot kicks in, more probably if we count the fillers. I had enough Yuri..Kampfer and Railgun already gave me too much Uiharu is much much more useful than Saten, probably she will catch up later There is no one evil in this series, they just lost |
 |
| Quite nice but brainless episode. I hope the scenario won't be as silly as Index's one when it takes off in some episodes. Animation and art are still great though. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| what a pointless episode. Why are there only girls in this show? ( except touma) |
| Fantastic show. |
 |
| erm, is this a mugi-based episode? lol. |

OftheFlesh said: greenmush said: HER EYEBROW PFFT EYE... PFFT eye... PFFT eye... AHAHAHAHAHHA Why dont she just cut some off Even if she did cut some off, it will still be visible because she used INK (it'll reach the skin man) don't worry guys we're slowly moving to the main plot, slowly but surely... You're talking about Saten right? But why don't the eye-brow girl just cut some of hers off? |

| Nice episode. This is a good action-fantasy slice-of-life series. So even when we get to the plot, don't expect it to be extremely serious. The database is never wrong indeed. They clearly got an ability boost from something which will turn out to be a main plot. |
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? |
| decent ep! this ep is in reality 4/5 but I gave it 5/5 (will in comparison with the previous ep, this ep completely rocked!) I should say again welcome back my beloved BiriBiri <3<3!! n how naive of the eyebrow-girl .. no would be able to use a stun-gun against my BiriBiri ^.^ n just like what Uiharu said, for the next ep: "Kimochi waroi!" xD hope it's gonna be fairly fine ... looking forward 2 returning on the right track with the manga! n can't wait 2 c more of my BiriBiri <3! |
 When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. |
| Boring episode IMO. Not much enjoyment in this episode. Yuri action was pretty low too. Didn't like this episode. Needs more BiriBiri and Touma |
| I haven't read the manga, but I'm not disappointed with this episodic progression either. It still manages to keep things interesting while foreshadowing whats to come... |
 |
| This was a hilarious episode. I love the way the taser was completely ineffective! can't wait for the naked granny on a saddle next week. |
 |
| I like the episode it was funny :3 I want to watch more |
