Poor Febri ;.;

Well at least she received a new present that I think is pretty. I liked the bonding moment of this episode. Misaka should be proud to be a level 5.

ITEM spotted. Somewhat awkward to see Shinobu and Misaka reunite again I guess. Honestly, I never did trusted that scientist in the first place. Janie huh?

Seems like Ohara-san's character knows about that experiment, too. "Chemicaloid"? And "Bocchan" (Aritomi?)? And winner? Looks like those in the list who didn't join out of sudden are the lab team (Study corporation). They want to keep getting attention... lol @ Kuroko. Misaka remembering Touma when looking at that bridge. ITEM are moving on their own because they felt that they were tricked.

The lab lady, who was tricked?, got the data to the lolipop and other things?, and gave that to Misaka. Megane guy predicted about it, so he made a fake data, and later destroyed the real data. Febri was a replacement of Janie??

No ED.

Ahh, forget it. I don't have the strength to complain anymore. There's still a lot of things wrong in this episode and arc and I'm not in the mood.
I really hope js06 starts with NT8 already so I can wash off this arc for the moment.

Date check. Night passed and a new day so it's currently August 28. 2 more days and 2 more episodes. With the preview showing a sunrise(?), they might barely make it but ehh...

I'll just leave this here. It's Academy City and the DEEP DARKNESS.

^ Never knew Kihara's were that deep
Also lol'd, loved it when I first saw it , love it now.

I swear this arc has less action than the Sister's Arc. I miss Accelerator and Touma. Fighting robots isn't fun, but I do like the idea of adding a different darkness group. If only they did it better. Maybe add in some esper users into study for more action? Accelerator was great.

I'm just rambling on, I haven't read the manga but I've read the LN up to NT07 (HURRY UP 08). But even as anime-only watcher can tell that this is bad compared to Sisters' Arc

No shit.

Fighting robots/powersuits/cyborgs is fun when done right.See WWIII,Avignon,NT7.Even the last fight in S1 was fun.

Adding new groups if fine.See the Freshmen.Now this here is.....

Watching this episode all i could do is sigh and feel annoyed there are far, far to many things i could complain about but i just can not be bothered anymore it is just simply bad. I do have to say that i wish they would stop retarding out Misaka's character though that is rather painful to watch.

Fuck this arc i was all ready to give this season at least a 9 when the Sisters arc ended but now i don't know wtf to rate it with this thing molesting the series.

First 7 mins of the ep:
Misaka:Dame da.... ZENZEN DAME DA!!!!
Therestina:You are incompetent.

The part where Misaka just decides to believe whatever Therestina says doesnt make any sense.Nor does her decision in the end of the ep.

In the previous ep they made Heaven Cancel look like he is just a usual doctor and here they made the MCs question his status?Cant they at least keep the shit they make consistent?

I see Therestina hasn't lost her bad attitude. She called Febri a "chemicaloid", whatever that is. I'm assuming Janie is like an upgraded version of that.

I'm kinda interested to see what happens with Misaka. Aritomi claims it was a paralytic poison, but he could've been lying. I wonder how she's gonna get out of this.

I really hope the tension picks up in these next 2 episodes. I don't know why but this arc doesn't seem as exciting as the previous one. It kinda reminds of the Daihasei festival arc (i.e. everyone seems to be running but they're not getting anywhere).

All that aside, I enjoyed the scene between Misaka and Kuroko. It took me a while to figure out, but now I know for sure that Kuroko's a masochist. ^^

The only good thing in this episode for me was when Therestina said, "You don't know how deep the darkness goes for those who can't even be guinea pigs". Thought that was really deep. Also the pool part was great. Everything else was like a course that would happen moments. Of course the data was fake. Of course we was going to destroy the real data. Any way can't wait to see Janie.

The thing is Therestina was always such a crap character that even if they do give her some semi good lines occasionally that don't reek of try to hard and generic they sound like crap because it is coming from such a non factor crappy character.

The only actual decent parts of this episode were ITEM's parts.

This. A good line became eye-rolling bad when said out of such a lame character. She acts like she's retarded. That's how NOT to make a villain.

I cringe at every other sentence she says.

I'm sorry but Thelestina is just to cringe-worthy.

I didnt find that line so great.In fact I found the whole scene lame.

As for her acting like she is retarded and being cringe-worthy isnt that how every Kihara-villain is?
I always believed that the Kiharas being so over the top while showing that they can do something, as good.
The only Kihara's that had actual character were Nayuta and Kagun.And they werent villains.

The thing is though i have no problem with the other Kihara's in fact i like them they are normally interesting when they show up in the novels. I also liked NT 4 which had a lot of them show up but i do not like Therestina she is simply a bad character she always has been its not the fact she is the worst Kihara (which she is) she is just genuinely a bad character within the whole series.

I mean come on put say Kihara Amata one of the first Kihara's to show up in Index next to Therestina do you not see a difference?

The thing is Misaka better still have use of her powers it is not like she needs to move her body to use them and her mind is still perfectly clear since it was only a muscle relaxant so she can easily still perform the mental calculations needed to make use of her ability. Also for a "genius" he is retarded for not noticing that and if the anime ignores that then fuck them for shitting over level 5's again this season. They pushed their luck with it in season 1 anime original as well with that Capacity Down and messing with the Railgun by turning it into some random ass beam.

Ofc she cant match Kihara-kun or the others but I think the reason she appears so lame compared to every other Kihara is because of the arc itself and not her own character.

I agree, they should stop making Misaka look retarted. There is no reason to go there alone. Kuroko for example could have teleported that vial out of his hands - or him over the river, not that it matters - before he could say "darkness". Or maybe use your lightning to stun him if you insist on going alone? Or just tackle him while he is busy adjusting his glasses.

The deep darkness really takes it's toll on Misaka's intelligence.

As if she would approach Accelerator.

But seriously, why would Misaka be the only person she could depend, unless she has never met another human before in her whole life. They barely interacted, and Misaka was clearly breaking down when they did (not such a good trait for a dependable person).

This whole build-up to Shinobu being part of the scientist's group just to give her this role was extremely disappointing.

I'm actually fine with Misaka getting paralysed though. The vaccine was right in the guy's hands. As fast as she is, there is always going to be a risk factor. It's not about which has a higher chance of succeeding, but how to avoid that risk altogether (ignoring the fact that the enemy is a horribly cliche villain who was obviously going to break it anyway).

Meh, I'm kinda want this season to end already, not that the filler season is horrible or anything, but I personally want more action with ACCELERATOR! The Sister's Arc was by far the highlight of this season and now this loli filler is just kinda dragging the show til it ends.

The scene with Kuroko and Misaka is probably what I enjoyed most in this episode, and that scene wasn't long either!

Obligatory fanservice with ITEM. Nothing bad to see more of them at least.

Shinobu and Misaka confrontation at the end of the episode. Plot is thickening more.

It was a decent episode alright, but not even close to the last episodes of the Sister Arc, which in my opinion was god tier. This arc is just dragging and it being filler isn't helping either for me. At least some Accelerator would have been nice for a change!

Unlike other old antagonists Therestina isnt one of those "unfortunate souls" that gone wrong.She liked what she did and given a chance she would do it again.She is cruel and ruthless.
In the end,the only real info she got is the term "Chemicalvoid" or whatever,which is useless for Misaka.That none of them thought of searching the DB for the Assembly was CIS at its finest.
Misaka has been desperate before(I am talking about everything written before this)but she never just chose to trust some super evil bastard that didnt seem to care about what he did.The only real time constraint is of the series itself.

Well, that villain's petty villainous actions were pretty predictable. Sisters arc set the bar pretty damn high for this season of Railgun, so naturally any filler will pale and fail in comparison. I'm just trying to enjoy these last remaining eps of Railgun S as much as I can, but it's giving me a hard time... anyway, like I said before this is just a scenario that explores some of the options that were not taken in the Sisters arc.

Well, that villain's petty villainous actions were pretty predictable. Sisters arc set the bar pretty damn high for this season of Railgun, so naturally any filler will pale and fail in comparison. I'm just trying to enjoy these last remaining eps of Railgun S as much as I can, but it's giving me a hard time... anyway, like I said before this is just a scenario that explores some of the options that were not taken in the Sisters arc.

Just enjoy ITEM's fanservice xD

Wtf? Why did they make Misaka go alone again?

Way to go.

The part where Misaka just decides to believe whatever Therestina says doesnt make any sense.


Usually her actions would be involved in some trust-related conversation. I think it's meant to show her desperation and the time constraint this time.

Unlike other old antagonists Therestina isnt one of those "unfortunate souls" that gone wrong.She liked what she did and given a chance she would do it again.She is cruel and ruthless.
In the end,the only real info she got is the term "Chemicalvoid" or whatever,which is useless for Misaka.That none of them thought of searching the DB for the Assembly was CIS at its finest.
Misaka has been desperate before(I am talking about everything written before this)but she never just chose to trust some super evil bastard that didnt seem to care about what he did.The only real time constraint is of the series itself.

I'm actually fine with Misaka getting paralysed though. The vaccine was right in the guy's hands. As fast as she is, there is always going to be a risk factor. It's not about which has a higher chance of succeeding, but how to avoid that risk altogether (ignoring the fact that the enemy is a horribly cliche villain who was obviously going to break it anyway).

I cant ignore that Misaka should have realized that he would break it.Why would he suddenly turn good?

This is how it should be in the end of this ep...
Met Aritoki Harumi -> Electrocute (before he said anything) -> Search anything in his clothes -> Happy end
The rest ep is fanservice @ beach xD

It's very likely that she hasn't because she has never been put into a situation where she had the option to. Unless you can recall anything before this where she was begging her enemy for information, then I don't think we can say anything about it. The time constraint is there, being Febri's time left, but that was funny nonetheless. :P

Regardless of what was going on Misaka's head during that time, it was horrible execution on the studio's part to simply make Misaka say "because I choose to". There was no harm in giving us more information about what she was thinking. In fact, it's almost a need. Indeed, it looks more like she is blindly trusting Therestina for no reason, than her desperately doing whatever she could with the 72 hours left (though the two is more less the same).

Even if he gave the vaccine to Misaka, he still wouldn't be "good"; I doubt she thought that fulfilling his side of the deal meant that he would suddenly turn good.

As for whether Misaka ever accounted for that possibility (a psychological risk compared to the physical one she had to decide on before), we actually don't know, so don't go rushing to that conclusion yet. I'd like to believe that she did, but her level of retardation completely depends on J.C. Staff.

On a related note, while the lengths that they are going through to disable Misaka is laughable, it does makes her seem more of a threat, like the badass aloof allies in other anime, than a main character that is always on the front lines, like how she was in the Poltergeist arc. I like that, since that's how she is in Index, as a side character.

Misaka has been in desperate situations before both in future arcs and in the one just before this one.Yet she never just trusted some villain that not only hurt her and her friends for no logical reason("for science" isnt a logical reason)but didnt even show any remorse.That now she has to save a loli doesnt make it more desperate than
.

That is the point.I want to see Mikasa,Uiharu,Kuroko etc as they are in the novels and manga,not how they are in JC's stories.

The last thing that Misaka looks to me here is a threat.She looks like some kid with some super power that everyone makes fun of.That isnt the Tokiwadai Ace,#3 Level 5 Electromaster,Misaka Mikoto The Railgun.

I dont even like her on the level I like the 3 MCs and several secondary chars but what JC is doing is ridiculous.If they couldnt write a story while keeping the chars as they are ,then they should have gone for a 1,5 cour series and do only the Sisters arc.

1. Great, just an another ASSCLOWN antagonist in this series (Haruki Aritomi)

2. GOD DAMN I WAS WRONG. Shinobu is indeed come back. I should think before I start to jump into conclusion in the first place just like last time. FML!

3. Can someone please kill that BITCH Telestina already?! I rather just bitchslap myself in a face despite of hatred of lunatic jerkass characters!

4. Who is Jannie anyway?! Is it the one who'll be after Febri soon?!

Only 2 episodes to go!

I already got the point that this isn't Misaka's first adversary and that she has faced worse from your last post. I've already addressed the point that you've repeated here. I did prompt an answer from you, but I wasn't looking for a repeat of what I've already replied to. What you're saying here may very well be just a reinforcement of your last post, but you still haven't addressed my post (that part of it, anyway).

It can be seen that way. I personally don't, but my view on this is not very strong to begin with. A re-watch, or more bad plot and I might just switch sides.

Agreed. This outcome was inevitable, honestly. The Poltergeist arc wasn't that well-received already. This is like repeating of a mistake, except this arc is even worse.
