| Very impressed! GJ JC staff 10/10 |
| Most of the events of this episode were already done in Index season 1, am I right? |
| everything is just really the same in Index but ill still watch this |
| great episode... just like in To Aru Index but in better animation... xD |
| Man props to J.C. Staff they have been pulling all strings to make this season of Railgun amazing, even though this is the same scene we saw in the 1st index, they completely redid it with better animation, better osts to fit the mood. Can't wait for the next episode to see how they revamp Accelerator vs Touma, since if I recall the fight was done differently in the manga series compared to the anime. |
| Everything about this episode was great i faintly remember this in S1 but because of all backstory amazing ost ques this time it was far more impactful say what you will Touma was a total boss this time around before all punching bitches in the face lol.. |
 |
| Amazing episode, I think they did better job on this part than in Index season 1 Touma is the best |
 |
| Wow, this episode was sooo good. The emotions, the animation, the OST. I don't remember Index's bridge scene being this impactful. |
| so perfect |
| ....lost of words. seriously J.C, after all this time.. this is the masterpiece so far. next episode, epic battle is on baby... |
| This episode was just outstanding. I mean damn, they really sucked me into the episode. So many great moments in there. But it just reached a great peak with Touma getting blown away and what he said afterwards. Finally, Mikoto didn't have to carry all the burden herself. She's just been punishing herself and blaming herself for all of this and trying to resolve it all on her own. Everyone needs help at some point and glad she finally got it here. |

| Well done J.C. Staff this episode was one of the best so far. |
 |
| Another epic episode. Way more awesome than it was in the first season. |
 |
| My long awaited episode! <3 Haaaa... I'm speechless. Epic OST btw. |
| ToumaxMikoto. Perfect. Loving that ratio on the episode rating. Not even a 3/5. |
| Uhm why does Touma tells her to help him and then he goes alone? A bit boring watching something I've already seen in index. |

He tells her to do him a favor: to trust him and let him do his thing. That means not to commit suicide so he can save her and bring a smile back to her face. That's very different from helping him fight... And this was much better than the Index version... (rofl at those who don't notice this) The way the conversation is done doesn't make sense (at least in the subs) Misaka basically says "you can't beat him!" and then touma goes "So... how about you help me, then?". Yeah I know than then he says her to wait him but the whole conversation is kinda misleading. And I didn't way it wasn't better than the index version, but it's essentially the same. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just not really exciting for me. |
| dat crying Misaka ;_; |

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just not really exciting for me. I wouldn't say that watching an opera concert in a great concert hall as "not exciting" JUST BECAUSE I have listened to those songs at a much smaller concert hall (performed by much more inferior orchestra) years ago. But well, of course everyone have different tastes. Anyway, excellent episode. Now considering Railgun as a candidate for the season's personal most favorite. |

| I have always thought that the Index novel of this arc combined with the Railgun manga of this arc made one of the greatest things that has come from the Index series and watching this new Railgun season it only made me think that more. This is by far the best of all 4 of the anime seasons that have come from Raildex, JC Staff have truly stepped up their game to a whole new level and it really seems like they have managed to grasp onto how to animate the Raildex universe. I have always loved that bridge scene i loved reading it in the novel, i loved watching it in the original first season of Index, i loved reading it in the railgun manga and i loved it here this has always been one of my favorite scenes out of the arc and JC staff an even better job with it for a second time. Now we move on to the climax of this whole arc from now on lets see how the animate the fight this time because the original novel fight was a little different to the first season Index anime fight and the Railgun manga fight was different to the Index anime fight as well though i can not remember how close the Railgun manga fight was to the Index novel fight does anyone remember? |

| Othinus Touma Pairing http://hestia.dance/ |
| Oh my...Touma CAN be cool once in a while. And I always considered him to be a spineless stupid bacteria. Well, he pissed me off seriously in the second season of Index. Can't say the same about the first one, as i simply don't remember. Aaaaanyway, I really liked how Touma acted. Cool. |
| This episode was god tier, the animation, the ost and the well directed scenes was pretty much perfect for this episode and for us fans one of most anticipated scenes at the "Bridge". JC Staff did a fantastic job on this episode. Now I can't wait until the next badass episode, Accelerator incoming! They did well on bringing out the feelings Misaka has inside of her in the scenes and what her thoughts were when Touma confronted her about the project, so good! This season has gone beyond my expectation and now is a 9 on my list. I hope JC Staff will continue with the trend and we get one hell of an adaption for the novel.  |
 |
| That's Touma for you, stepping in on someone else's anime and taking on the strongest guy :) |
| This episode was simply perfect! 10/5 |
| Oh my f*cking gawd! Just wow...JUST WOW! The scene between Touma and Misaka is just epic! Dem Feels dood! It reminded me again of the first season but this episode had more emotional impact. Add to that the ending song was just perfect for the scene. It was on that day the Misaka is starting to fall in love with him. Dammit JC Staff! Bring Index III! |
| I'm surprised that I got the chills from Misaka's reaction, I mean I felt nothing in Index (I believe that was partly since we never witnessed Misaka's previous attempts on foiling the experiments) so this was really a pleasant surprise. The direction and visuals were a strong step up and now I'm pretty excited for next episode. |
 |
| Epic so much epicness here So Touma just go without asking where the experiment is? I love this pairing, you call them hero & heroine :) Next ep, it's TouMAN vs Accelolicon! Can't wait.. Saturday come faster Welil said: That's Touma for you, stepping in on someone else's anime and taking on the strongest guy :) Lol, well he had his own anime too xD edwd2 said: WTH I DONT THINK TOUMA HAD A SMARTPHONE IN RAILGUN S1 Lol he never used one in index |
"Signature removed"   |
edwd2 said: WTH I DONT THINK TOUMA HAD A SMARTPHONE IN RAILGUN S1 Well tbh either way their phones should be much more advanced than ours Academy City is like 30 years ahead of us technology wise have you ever seen kuroko's one? Either way Touma's phone has god like duribility throughout index though he has broke the screen before by simply stepping on it lol |
| Othinus Touma Pairing http://hestia.dance/ |
| Seriously, I can't believe this is the same JC staff that did Index. Really, it exceeded my expectations. It didn't leave a big impact on me in Index I but this time in Railgun S I teared up. I loved Kuroko in this episode and the bridge scene was just awesome. Even though sometimes I get annoyed by Touma in Index but I started loving him in Railgun S. The emotions are overflowing and the ToumaxMisaka moment was >.<. Best episode so far IMO and I loved how Touma is now front and Misaka at the back in the ending credits. In short, I fckn love this episode! 1000/10 By the way, what's the name of the OST used in the bridge scene that was also used in episode 6? That track was really emotional. |
 |
| Oh god, this episode. This is anime movie-level quality (where budget is not as big of a concern unlike TV eps). Direction, voice acting, music, animation... way better than I'd expect from a mere TV episode. J.C. Staff did it again, pulling out all the stops for this one. Now I understand why Mikoto is hopelessly in love with this guy. Not only is Touma one tough bastard surviving that attack without using his power (and standing up to fight later), he was her knight in shining armor when she needed one the most. She was there, preparing to die; and here he comes: the hero who'd do more for her as a friend than someone else as a lover might do. This episode alone might have already caused me to "jump ship" regarding Raildex pairings already... lol @ poll results having everyone except 4 people score it at 5, and those 4 scored it a 4. Best episode yet. |
| Friggin loved this ep. It had me all wiping the tears from my eyes even though I knew what was going to go down! The animation was beautiful and there was so much more emotion conveyed then the index scene. Urg I still have goosebumps. Mikotos expressions and Toumas portrayal was fucking awesome. ALL THESE FEELS |
| I must admit i enjoyed it alot especially due to the fact that in the Index Anime we were not able to hear what Biribiti was thinking and her talking bullsh*t at the beginning of the bridge scene. But i dont understand why he doesnt respond to her when she said "Do you don't care if those cloes die!?" Ofc the conversation they had afterwards was pretty intense but in my opinion Touma should have said something. Touma: "No i don't want them to die..." Biribiri: "Then let me go! This is the only chance for me to end this mindless killing" Touma walks slowly to Misaka and says: "But i don't want you do die either!" and hugs Misaka. I know this happens too often in other Animes but still... Also wow @the animation of the cat when touma is lying on Biribiris lap. Most people wouldnt have cared about animating her as such a small detail. |
| Touma!! Yeah!! Reminded me why i like Touma so much! Excellent episode, them feels! Finally the fight! Wooooo!!! Wonder how it will be different from Index(?) |

| Excellent episode, looking forward to the next one, the final battle! |
| Meanwhile.... |
| 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. |
