THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------

ITEM, hell yes. I wonder if they will make more appearances in this arc later as well.

The part where Kuroko got turned on also gave me a good laugh. The episode felt really relaxing but I think one of the scientists made their debut. Mm, I hope this arc will be enjoyable. Tears were also shed ;.;

Regarding the new girl Febli, she probably knows Misaka and I'm guessing it might be connected to Shinobu.

Item people. The girl who was in the hospital is ready for going out, and Uiharu's roommate is leaving with her. That megane guy blaming Kotobuki-san's character for relying on her power too much to capture the thief without thinking about the worst possibility.. Mostly about Uiharu and friendship separation, then blond hair girl. EveryFevry (voiced by Iori Nomizu)? She knows Mikoto?

That megane guy seems like one of the lab guy who investigates item people.

It's only been two episodes, but this new OP is already growing on me.

Woohoo more ITEM!
Really hoping we see them more this arc cause Kinuhata seems pretty badass.

Dawww, that Haruue/Uiharu crying scene was just too sweet.


I like how they brought back a lot of the characters this episode. Almost forgot how cute this show could be haha. Especially Uiharu and Saten <3 . On another note, those scientists and Shinobu are pretty interesting so far. Overall I enjoyed seeing the group together again and seeing new characters for this arc. Nice episode.

So the promised new original character finally is here...
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.

Weekly reminder that Kongou is a time traveler and we will never see her transfer to Tokiwadai in the second semester.

Eh, didn't really care about Haruue and Banri. They hardly matter now and they won't matter again.
And these scientists are definitely not Kiharas. They don't have the same appeal as them and just reek of the cliched bad guy thing. Whatever they're planning, it better be good. They're observing ITEM, seem to have something against espers with that exchange with Kongou, and revolves heavily on the blond loli, with Shinobu(?) on the side. Plus an unexpected connection to Misaka. That last part isn't as surprising as it seems. Ah well.

They spent 2 days in the episode so the current date is August 25. 2 more days till Angel Fall. Watch as they ignore that phenomenon completely. And watch as the days go on endlessly like those episodes in s1 that seemingly happened between Aug. 8 and 9 where you see Himegami with the cross from Necessarius already but the Poltergeist arc ended on Aug 9.

I didnt like Kongou in S1.Then I read the manga and guess what,I like her more than half of Misaka's friends.sigh

They probably couldnt come up with new Kihara name that is some kind of reference....

I dont see AF as a problem.We probably are supposed to be affected by it too and not notice the changes....It would be funny if Kuroko suddenly became Obama,Misaka Touma's cousin etc....

The head scientist only say rank 4 Level 5's data.
Likely they're just hiring ITEM, let them fight to get Mugi's data for some kind of anti ESP project (battle robot to counter esper ?).
Mikoto, either they have did it or will bring her a fight later.

As for the rest, Misaki and Gunha is probably too weird, while Accel and Kakine too dangerous and difficult to contact ^^;

Gunha would be more difficult to control than Kakine or Accelerator due to the sheer stupidity guts of his.

Is this arc another filler arc like the second half of the first season? Or it is based on novel material. I was hopping to see the latest manga arc animated...

But not a bad episode nonetheless.

Filler arc, the daihaisei arc in the manga isn't fnished and was too long to fit on Railgun S,(its already longer then the sister arc and it isn't even finished)

It was a pleasant moment between Haruue and Uiharu, but that aside, I'm feeling this whole plot is going to be similar to the whole "I'm going to negate your powers with some noise frequency from a tower and then try kill you with a giant mech." except they'll involve that little girl and there probably won't be a giant mech this time. But I reckon whatever's coming up won't be that bad.

Right. I forgot we were past halfway the episode count... They could very well do that arc in 12 episodes, if it don't extend much after the current chapter. Maybe in Railgun 3 we will get a whole season w/o fillers then, but I really don't have my hopes up now...

There were mechas at the start of the episode, and at the opening. A gigant mecha, or at least some boss-level mecha, is very likely.

Leave it to project Railgun to mess up the Raildex timeline. The best way to get around this is to not accept anything in the Railgun anime as canon unless it is either a) an adaptation of existing material or b) mentioned in either the Railgun manga or Index LNs.

Ditto to that. After the Railgun manga (especially in the Daihaseisai Arc), I feel like the minor characters are just better than Mikoto's friends in general.

The problem is that a bunch of nobodies is going to cause trouble that only Misaka can co will be able to solve.
It would be different if it was one of AC's dark organizations or a FUCKING KIHARA but no....The only thing that makes them interesting for now is that Shinobu is with them for some reason.

I dislike people like that professor the type that claims to know everything better and starting preaching others about it, sure people could have been hurt when Kongo intervened but by letting that thief run like that people could have been hurt as well.
So Kongo did the right thing, if you go by the logics that guy was using you could not stop the criminal at all even if you where a normal police officer.

Exactly. We say Angel's Fall from Touma's perspective in season one of Index, but for everyone else, nothing was wrong. I'm just glad the stalker was mentioned in terms of keeping continuity.

The episode itself was ok. The villains looks pretty one-dimensional with some very generic motivation. Hopefully things get interesting in the next couple episodes and it not just look how cute this little girl is.
