Great episode compared to Index S3 were the story and characters are scattered all over the place this is more focused and better. Can hardly w8 for Touma and Gunha Sogiita to meet that will be the best part in the whole anime.

I agree. Better paced and less messy than the last episode. I just hope Kuroko gets a chance to shine in this show outside of gags.

It was a good episode, the running event was interesting, showing a bunch of hilarious moments (the hamsters, when Misaka and Kongou put the green rivals away usind that mattress). And the second part with Misaka sister replacing the real one in that kind of "prison ball".

On the other hand, love that animation was the same as that of the previous 2 seasons, instead of using that new, more "flat" style, which they used in the Accelerator spin off.

The 3 legged race was pretty cool. :)

Whatever else happens this season I hope that Saten gets a decent sized part. I have been a fan of hers since the Level Upper arc in Season 1.

As to aru fans, I would says that Misaka probably is worst hero in to aru series in term of motivation. When she hit the wall, she always almost broken. Just see sisters arc, also in later series (including this Daihasesai arc).

Dont get me wrong, I like Misaka as character. But after saw all to aru protagonist, I think Misaka motivation isnt that impresive.

JC never do justice to to aru series so makes anime watcher only hates Touma eventhough his motivation is most impressive one (especially in NT). But hey, at least Accel got recognition.

Back to Railgun T

I cant believe that JC cares about Gunha. His scene is most impressive scene in this episode. Also Misaka mother appear on Railgun. Not very impressed since I already know her in Index ii. Then Misaki scene is as good as I expected xD

I cant wait for next episode. Misaki meets Touma directly after a year & 10032 action. Hype for that.

this is probably the only arc where she does besides her own arc in index main series.

Im still confused on how Kuroko got injured. I dont remember at the end of Railgun S her getting seriously injured in the final fight. But it has been a while so I might have forgotten it.


go read the index novels then remember this is a side story and unless you have full knowledge this seasons going to leave a lot out for explanations because it expects you to have knowledge from the main series.

It was shown in Index S2.
First or second arc.

best girl Misaki is still super adorable especially when Konori confiscated her remote control LUL.

i love this series so much 6 years and its still going insanely strong even though its still airing its already definitely my AOTS and tbh wouldn't be surprised to be an AOTY even if its still this early because its already insanely good when there isn't anything happening yet which means when that stuff get animated OMG

Also the second arc of S (which isn't in the manga) was de-canonized as Wannai asks Awatsuki if she "ever got in a fight"


Ah ok that makes sense then. I was confused when she said that, since I vaguely remember them participating in the big fight at the end of the Chemicaloid arc.

Agreed lmao. I decided to rewatch both seasons of Railgun in preparation for T and was given a bit of a shock, since it's been so long. My fondness for the Sisters arc must have made me forget how bad most of the other arcs were, especially the Chemicaloid arc. Those were some of the most hilariously pathetic villains I've ever seen in an anime.

What angers Toaru fans is that it made beloved characters act out of character.

Hell I could have forgiven how they portrayed Kuroko's and Misaka's powers( a)Misaka should have no issues fighting mobile suits/power armor and b) both should have been dead at the end) if at least the characters werent treated so shitty.

OK I was confused why Kuroko was injured, assumed it was because I skipped the last ten or so episodes of S. But nope, it’s because I stopped Index when I finished season 1 😂

Ugh. I wanna be able to follow what’s going on, but man is Index a slog. Mostly because of the titular character, but also I’m just not a fan of harem shenanigans. I really just want to be able to watch Railgun and Accelerator haha

I watched all Index and Railgun..this season feels so average.. It doesn't have the intensity from Railgun S. Is like an OVA filler. Maybe because is been many years since last Railgun season my anime taste changed and I'm not liking the same things as when I started watching anime. So far after 2 episodes is not bad as Index 3 but for me is not what i expected.. Well that's just my opinion

I see what you mean... Basically you feel as though nothing much is happening right?
Well see it like this: the arc starts slowly while stuff happens behind the scenes (you saw that at the end of the episode) and it starts to build up until it reaches a very intense action filled climax!
Railgun pacing is slow, but if you keep watching, you can be sure that stuff will happen.

- Misaka was not a hero.. she is only a heroine and she is just normal shoujo protagonist but with shounen prtagonist plot anime.
- i agreed that she doesnt had a motivation like the true protagonist of toaru series, bcoz she already had anything that she need...
- "she's always almost broken when she hit the wall".. man, she lived on bright side on academy city that had lot of dark side than the bright side, just imagine that her friends know what she was did on the dark side (like kuroko or saten ruiko realize that misaki fighting ITEM alone and number one level 5 to prevent CRAZY EXPERIMENT.)
- JC staff only work on "popular" adaptation.

Feels a pinch slow though I suppose they had to do more character intros. It was fine. Kongo time is always fun. Maybe a little to impatient to enjoy all the small cute characterizations.

Interesting how we’ve moved onto semi acceptance that anime touma is a bit dull. Misakas lack of guts is there to make touma have a great protagonist quality. Balance out her power and brains.

Whatever you says, she still main hero on railgun. And to be honest misaki so far better both in manga & LN. Yes misaka live in bright side of AC, but if you read manga or LN you will know that her character development isnt that impressive. She is not only broke in sisters arc & daihasesai arc, but also in magic god arc. I do want misaka development going better since she is my favourite female chara on to aru series. But to be honest, she somehow overated.

Misaki in other hand gives me homura vibe except that fact she isnt broken at all.

As for railgun T stuff. To be honest as long JC gives justice it will undoubtly give huge succsess since T had all to aru fans like (mostly that Touma & misaki scene). But again, JC never do justice to other series besides railgun is pissed me off.

railgun is the side story and she had the love interest before railgun existed. your argument has no valid logic behind it.

Wonder how Misaka's sister will perform in the next episode because they are apparently trying to affect her powers? But they don't know it's not her ;)

Ah I see how it works now. Railgun S took an good but understated arc from index and then expanded upon it and fleshed it out to the point where it became just shy of a masterpiece. And now, railgun T is taking an arc out of index II, expanding upon it from misaka’s point of view, and making it FUN!

The Dahasahai sorry I can’t spell arc from index was the one I wanted to see more from. I wanted to see more of these games that implemented esper powers. But instead most of the time was dedicated to touma chasing down the hot horny busty blondie. Now, we’re getting an actual look at the games and the actual scale of this festival, pretty freaking huge. Now if I remember correctly the bad guys whatever they were at the time, Roman Orthodox Church perhaps? I don’t fucking care. But anyway some bad guys send I believe two chicks to infiltrate academy city during the festival, busty blonde chick, and now I’m guessing the chick who didn’t know how to use a phone is the other one? A magic user or whatever I guess.

ANYWAY so far I have been super enjoying this and if it keep me this happy for even just the festival arc I’ll be so happy. But there is one or two more arcs afterward isn’t there. HYPE

Shadow metal, hm.. Which is born if many espers abilities are used.. Interesting..
I hope that Misakas get opportunities to do, what they want.. I mean, there are other things besides school in life.. But who knows what they are interested in at all..
Also that's why maybe Misaki is lower than Misaka at level.. Her power can even be better, really.. Just that if you take the remote control from her - it seems she already almost can't use her powers?.. Because in itself controlling people is a very huge power..
