GUYS XD
WHOS GONNA HAVE A HAPPY ENDING? XD
TOUMA AND MISAKA
OR
TOUMA AND INDEX XD?

You think there will be a romance ending? As long as the Manga has no end they would never make a pairing so fans wont be disappointed by it.

Also i think Index is more like a little sister for Touma.

Man, Touma being the night in shining armor. His portrayal seems much more admirable here than in the index series imo. I suppose watching it from a different perspective makes his heroics stand out more.

Again, excellent episode by JC staff. They certainly are getting better at this. The direction for this adaptation is incredible and hopefully we will see this great quality in Index III.

This episode was great. It's nice to have a touching episode in between all the action. It mediates the series making it even better :D

I was looking forward to this scene ever since this season started!

Awesome episode.
Misaka's voice actress did a great job, sounding like on the verge of crying. She put so much feeling into her words!

Misaka's voice actress really is a good one she does such a good job with Misaka it for me is easily her best role she has done.

Also yeah i have been waiting for the bridge scene since this new season of railgun started as well.

Lol.
Yeah, I remember they did do that while this was happening. Komoe-sensei did some exposition there though on the AC Curriculum and its overall purpose of developing psychic powers so it wasn't all worthless. Though I'm sure that that information is already forgotten by 99% of the people, and those two who are with her. Oh well.

That bridge seen was a whole lot better in this series than the original for some reason.. Possibly because we got to see all the events leading up to it this time and I'm pretty sure they added a line or two this time.

Too good for a score/10!!!!!!!

Can't believe they managed to piece together such an amazingly well written episode.

On another note, did anyone notice how the ending still of Touma and Misaka is a continuation of that from episode 11, where in that, Misaka's turned her head and now Touma turns his head?

Fine little details that randomly caught my attention...

Railgun S has definitely been the best part of the To Aru franchise, but, this episode was actually amazing - it was done so much better than in the Index version, everything about it was pretty much perfect, heck, Touma even seemed legitimately cool for once.

I'm now really looking forward to the Accelerator and Touma fight next week, I just hope that the series keeps on going like this and that the second arc of the series will be as good as the amazing first half.

That brings back memories it's always funny to see how laid back this anime can be during the tense moments.
Well i guess it's the same in real life who knows what's happening in the world right now.

Kuroko's hate for Touma probably increased after the trick he pulled in the room.
Well i guess she will learn the truth at some point.

Pretty sure that's all you are getting in Railgun S. Personally I'd like to see one arc done as utterly brilliantly as this than 4 or 5 done half-assed like in Index and Index II.

I finished season 1 like 2 days ago and then ended up marathoning all 14 currently aired episodes for this season. And I have to say, this season is MILES, MILES better than season 1.

Can't wait to see that fight next episode, so disappointed that I now have to finish this series on a weekly basis.

The whole point of the season was to give a focused, fleshed out, SISTER's arc. We all knew this going in.

If it skims/rushes content, it's a 'bad adaptation', but when it fleshes some things out and does everything possible to create a perfect adaptation, it "drags on" there's just no winning..

But it isn't as though they're so bad it's a chore to watch. They have their flaws, but they are still certainly worth the watch if you love the Raildex universe.

to be fair index season one felt above mediocre to me it actually was fairly good but index season 2 good lord(i blame the directors because they had issues since they were working on guilty crowns and kinda mess up the series in that process).

Yeah you're right, Index I was definitely more concise and focused, but II, pacing and execution issues and all, is still well worth watching for those preparing for Index III, because of the relationships developed and new paths followed, and that awesome build up at the end.

i just hope j.c. staff can adapt touma this well in index 3 like they did with touma in railgun S. he was amazing this episode and his likability sky rocket to me(and how can i forget accelerator as well?) i couldn't believe how great touma was this episode. it reminded me why i liked his character allot and why i ship toumaxmisaka kind off.

This was done so much better than the Index version, I can barely believe it. The soundtrack and the voice acting were incredible, not to mention the animation... even the smaller details like the cat in the last scene, the way it moves so smoothly (almost looks like CG, not sure).

Well, this episode raised this series up another notch for me, and it was already very high to begin with. Can't wait to see the fight next week.

Crap, it looks like I should have watched Index before Railgun after all. While everyone else here seems already emotionally attached to "the bridge encounter" because it was probaby in Index makes me pretty envious.

To me, who only watched the Railgun anime in the Index series, in this episode, I couldn't shake off the absolute deus-ex machina that is Touma in this anime. The encounter to me seems really cliche (Frequent in shows with a action heroine and loyal hero) and even random because Touma hardly ever makes appearances except for cameos in Railgun.

Ughh... I think I just ruined the entire series for myself...

Don't worry about it too much. Index actually extends beyond what is depicted in Railgun, so in a certain sense it works both ways. You just experience things from Touma's perspective in Index, so you will have a different set of moments that'll make you go "oh yeah, I already saw that part in Railgun." You'll learn more about his backstory and whatnot. I remember in Index the Mikoto parts often felt random like what you are describing Touma's moments in Railgun. Once you watch the other one you get more of the background for why they are there and what happened to them before/after and the puzzle fits together nicely.
