| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- ITEM. As expected, they make their debut in the very beginning. I think Fre nda Frenda's VA is okay along with Mugino. Oop, explosive doll spotted. I see a deadly weapon there. Ha, Frenda and her cute little dolls. Dem explosions, shit just got real. So Misaka struggles fighting against her huh. I'm not too surprised honestly. Those aggressive face expressions. Ya, Frenda goofed a bit during her fight. I definitely enjoyed this fight though. Flash grenade, dolls, and all. HAHAHAHA and that dance of Frenda. LOL. That look on your face when she realizes her plan goofed. OST was pretty good too. Nice kick btw Frenda but you got blocked. Aww poor Frenda: Great episode imo. MELTDOWNER BABY |

| New characters... how many of those 4 are level 5-ers? Misaka vs. That explosion girl (she sounds like twin tail girl from chu2 byou). She's weaker, apparently, but has lots of items to block her ability. Then that girl that seems like the leader showed up. That fight that appeared in OP is soon? |

| WTF was that episode 5 mins or what. It felt so sort wow... Shit was awesome. Lot's of explosions and cute things and Misaka being awesome as usual :3 Tbh i didn't like how she blocked her kick at that moment since Misaka has no martial arts knowledge or experience in that matter and that was a really precise block. But oh well this is a small detail i think ^^ Next episode will be full of amazing scenes once again as it seems :3 |
 |
| Wait, I thought Frenda wasn't even an Esper? |
|
| Thank you all for answering, haha... So except 1 everyone else is not level 5. belatkuro said: And Fre|nda is voiced by Uchida Maaya aka Rikka from Chuu2. I know that I didn't see that "-desu" girl from Chuu2's seiyuu on the cast, but she sounded like her to me instead of Rikka. So which character is voiced by Mori Summer (I remember seeing her name) anyway? That level 5-er? |

It's just a matter of actually being able to use your inherent ability. Incorrect: Academy City's total population is about 2.3 million with 80% of them being students and 1/8 of those students living in the city dorms. Of the entire student population, about 60% of them have the ability to demonstrate only a slight amount of psychic ability (these are level 0 Power Users). 20% of the of the remaining students in Academy City pursue other subjects instead of going under the Power Curriculum Program, like Tsuchimikado Maika, who studies in a maid school. There's about a good 150000 non-esper students in Academy City. One example would be Maika (confirmed in NT7). Fre|nda is, however, a Level 0. |

| Mugino - Maou Saiai - Molly Summer Frenda - Rikka Rikou - Tamako Interesting seiyuu choice. I think all did pretty good job, particularly Uchida Maaya (Frenda, Rikka). |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
Ah, Frenda's just too cute: |
|
| ITEM finally debuts! Fre nda's voice isn't half bad. Uchida Maaya used her Mao voice from GJ-bu. Needs more Fre nda puns guys. Kinuhata's outfit really doesn't suit her. I like her wooly sweater outfit more in the LN. And did Takitsubo somehow obtain the Bust Upper? I know she's well endowed and all but it's suppose to be hardly noticeable in her tracksuit. Mugino meanwhile is perfect. Hamazura will probably get a lot of bad reactions later on when we get to Index III. The fight was pretty good I guess. Fre nda did a good job fighting with just explosives but in the end she slipped up. I kinda laughed at where she was pulling them out. Mugino's entrance was badass though. Next episode is AIM Stalker. Been waiting for this battle for a long time. The powerlevel discussions will probably start again with that. inb4 where is Kuroko? The OP showed Kuroko in this fight. inb4 where's Touma? |

And what do you mean by that? |

| I figure people will like Mugino because of her badass attitude and her powers which is why many may hate on Hamazura when we get to vol15. And you know what happens there. Heck, people might even be surprised about Hamazura's role in the story so that'll add more to that. Just my wild guess, don't pay much attention to it. We need Index III first. And we're currently at Railgun so let's stop the offtopic. |

belatkuro said: And did Takitsubo somehow obtain the Bust Upper? I know she's well endowed and all but it's suppose to be hardly noticeable in her tracksuit. Huh? Yes, it's suppose to be hardly noticeable in her tracksuit, but she doesn't wear it right now. She's only wearing a shirt (which she wears under her tracksuit in novel). That's why you get to see a clear view of her bust. |

Stark700 said: Ah, Fre|nda's just too cute: I totally agree. Her voice acting was so amazing!!! I was like: this has actually literally exceeded all of my expectations. It makes me think of absolute perfection. This was done better than the manga in my opinion and for those people who didn't read the updated episode list I posted, we have at least 1 more episode of ITEM as shown in the preview (not to ruin the surprise). I really enjoyed the old OSTS and that one new one here. Fre|nda was as cute as heck. Index 3 with those voices is going to be a blast! Mikoto was great in this episode, she had some really good moves. I'm sure it'll be an even better watch when subtitles come out, but I pretty much know by heart every single word they were saying anyway in english because of the railgun manga, because this part was so good. I feel like so far, the anime has surpassed the manga. I liked the cooler version of Ignis gas, which was great. It looked stunningly well animated in the anime compared to the manga. In the manga it was hard to tell whether or not it had come out of the original vial she had thrown even though she had said that was a decoy. Rikou was great, can't wait to see more of her and the rest of ITEM next episode. Next episode is called AIM stalker! I loved Mugino's electric beam. Now that was totally awesome/incredible. It scared the living daylights out of me even though I was expecting it: their fight is going to be suspenseful/scary to watch even if I know the outcome in advance. J.C. staff really did well with this episode. Hopefully next episode is just as good. I thought Fre|nda's voice was literally like #1 I've seen in the railgun franchise. Mugino's voice wasn't half-bad either. Also, they had the Rikou pool scene :) I enjoyed that. :) Her laziness is the most important thing to display after all. I liked Nunotaba's appearance and they showed the fact she drinks milk tea for continuity (good job remembering J.C. staff). I can't wait for you know what to happen next episode on both fronts. This anime version really is exciting. It still outdid my expectations and I was expecting a lot. Let the next few episodes outdo them even more and I will truly respect J.C. staff. |
CreationBreaker said: Yeah, my point is just that with the two as contrast, Rikou's busts do not look that modest but of course they are nothing compared to what's in the anime character design...Well, Saiai and Frenda are both middle-school aged. Of course Rikou's bust would be bigger. |

| Mugino is actually a playable and fully-voiced character in the Index PSP fighting game that came out more than two years ago. It's nice to see that she's reprising her role. |
Actar said: Mugino is actually a playable and fully-voiced character in the Index PSP fighting game that came out more than two years ago. It's nice to see that she's reprising her role. Indeed. I find her voice great as well just as much as Fre nda |
|
| Hmm, thought I was hearing Mao from GJ-bu from Frenda. VA confirmed it. I will say I liked this episode. Good amount of action along with some funny/cute moments during the fight. |
 |
| 5\5 *q* |
| Loved the episode. Just as good as the manga, or maybe even better. Loved Frenda's voice acting, it goes well with her playful nature. Also, loved Mugino's voice. Misaka was awesome. She was going easy on Frenda. Next episode is gonna be great. Two level 5s fighting... Meltdowner vs. Railgun!!! |
| "We should be more proud of NEETs! Love the country that strives to produce NEETs, for world peace, we must stand up! We must find more non NEET-in-waiting elites, learn from each other , form a new Japanese Party, and bravely challenge the evil! Grow, NEETs! Grow like blazing fire! NEETs!” |
| This episode was very intriguing, much better than last weeks. Intense fights, can't wait for next week!!!! Mikoto!! |
 |
| Today's episode was fabulously electrifying. |

| This episode was fantastic, they completely blew out the first season with this. 10/10 episode can't wait until next week |
 |
| aw yeah. NEXT EP 5V5 |
    |
| What an amazingly electrifying episode... Frenda is voiced by Maaya Uchida! Ahahaha! Can't stop smiling every time I hear her speak! :'D I keep imagining Rikka Takanashi or Ma-chan in her place! x) Man, her voice acting for Frenda is perfect! So cute! :D Two level 5's will face off in next episode? I can't wait for this!! |
| Damn good fight, and great voice acting for Frenda. |

Thought the same, the irony. I don't like Kinuhata's voice it feels different form what I imagined from her character. Meanwhile everyone else in ITEM has great VA, I love Frenda voice. |
| What a great episode with some really nice fight scenes. And oh boy it looks like there's gonna be an even bigger one next episode, I can't wait! Especially with how strong that leader looks in the OP. Frenda is just so cute and fun to watch. Loved her character the moment I saw her. And dat de-hee face... so adorable. |
 |
| episode was hype Fight was almost the whole episode but i didn't want it to end! love Frenda but i was seriously wondering when she would run out of bombs in that skirt she was pretty good at CQC Was pretty funny when Misaka reference people putting bombs in small toys (from the mall in S1). |
