No matter how many times I see this fight, Touma's humongous plot armor takes away a lot from the enjoyment. Well, things should be wrapped up in the next episode and I hope the last few episodes won't feature him. 3/5.

I have to praise the OST though, some excellent music under the scenes.

This might be irrelevant, but I just thought that Himegami shouldn't have been made as a character, unless she is going to ntroduce a vampire loli later on... Thats pretty much the only reason she could possibly be useful to me.

Its isnt just irrelevant,it is 10000% off topic.
The whole Deep Blood arc was there for foreshadowing
and add some backstory to Index(char).Seeing how Vampires are extremely OP according to the LN and also immune to Imagine Breaker since it is natural for them to exist(just like souls,Saints,Valkyries) unlike magic and espers,I doubt they will ever appear.In short Vampires=Saints but even more OP.

So, we have the MC who was EASILY defeated by the supposed STRONGEST character in this world.

Said MC, is now lying in a pool of his blood, presumably quickly dying.

Thankfully Mikoto with the help of the Sisters have at least prevented Accelerator from unleashing one serious attack on them.

Cool.


Now, if the MC really has no hax powers, he shouldn't be able to stand, much less defeat the STRONGEST of the strongest, next episode....correct?

Because I'm pretty sure that my logic is sound on this one.

No your logic isnt sound.

It's like calling Accel's powers hax because the STRONGEST Electromaster who also has hax powers and is the MC of the show cant touch him.

If everyone has hax powers then nobody has.

Emphasis on supposed.

By this same logic, Tsuchimikado is also hax given how easily he was able to beat Touma. Part of the charm of the Raildex-verse is that characters cannot win by simply over-powering their enemies.

A human dying in a pool of his own blood is somehow going to defeat one of the strongest persons in the world he resides.

Ok.

Give it up man, it's not like I don't like touma because he has hax powers.

I dislike the way they present him.

You forget how he beats him,which is one of the points of the fight and arc.
Blood pool and hax powers....What do you have to say about Okabe Rintarou?

Because if we go by that logic every char that found himself in a blood pool should actually die not just Touma.This includes several chars in Raildex both good and evil.

And unlike Okabe since I brought him up,Touma actually has a reason to get up move and fight(see end of Deep Blood arc in Index I)

If Touma doesnt have plot armor.. then what do you call it when a character survives crashing into a pole at high speed, falling from like 30 meters and then bleeding for 15 minutes without any treatment?

Isnt that just a nice way of saying plot armor? That would mean that no character ever had plot armor and they were all just "super durable".

I call his actual powers are at work.Just like Accel didnt
Misaka
Kakine
etc etc.

Again, if every char has plot armor and hax powers then nobody has.

Before saying anything about Touma's power you guys should first learn about it.
And about every other char's abilities as well and then see how "haxed" they are too.

Different from the Index fight scene, but I enjoyed this whole episode.
Flying Touma was a bit much for the suspension of disbelief, but he's a lot tougher than Accel.

Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

Sales figures won't be available until next week, but pre-order estimates are way down when compared to the first season. In fact, they're more in line with the Index series than Railgun, which suggests that the laid back style drove sales (which nearly doubled that of Index S1) the first time around.

Railgun S has generated way more buzz on western blogs and message boards than among Japanese netizens.

My point WAS that Touma survived impact and fall which normal people cant survive. But I already got my answer to that question. As ssjokg put it "If every character has plot armor and hax power than nobody has".

i totally agree with that. i mean, i've accepted accelerator's rather ridiculous power on top all of the other uber characters, so i don't find touma's feats so unbelievable. it's really a moot point.

i felt Heaven Canceller was worth mentioning because i can imagine someone being able to push their body harder if they know he's in the same city. it's no secret that touma's quite the dead man without him. touma haters can always keep that in mind if it makes them feel better.

When I say "membership", I meant a card that would reduce the cost cause he's such a frequent customer, lol

BUT! As far as in volume 16 at least, he got used how many times? IDK, but it is really, really unfair that he does not get paid AT ALL for all the shit he's going through.

Am i the only one who thinks that battle scene(and probably every other battle scene in the season) was kinda meh? All previous seasons had amazing BGM that made fight really intense, the made me shiver. But this season they practically have no BGM at all and that makes fight rather boring.

I agree, Railgun S is almost perfect but the bgm is knda meh during the fights compared to the awesome Index soundtrack.

I doubt that. Railgun season 1 is the leading most popular series in the entire Railgun/Index franchise based on sales and polls (plus it even brought in a shit ton more fans to Index), and the second highest selling JC Staff series ever in the history of the company. Once this arc ends it will be more like Railgun season 1, which will, if anything, make it much more popular again and also hike up the preorders for later volumes. That is, as long as those people notice the change in pace back to season 1 style.

It certainly won't make the rating go down when that change is what a pretty massive number of Railgun fans want. This change to such a dark, heavy, and somewhat actiony arc actually lowered the ratings and sales (which people were literally just talking about). The lack of the other 3 girls certainly didn't help either. Biribiri might have the same status is big celebrities there in terms of popularity and how much you'll see her just about anywhere in Japan, but she's not the only draw to the Railgun series for many fans.

I've loved the fuck out of S, it's something I can easily say is one of the best things I've seen in years and that episode 14 is one of the best episodes I've seen in anime overall. So don't try attacking my tastes on this one, anyone. Based on how incredibly well Railgun 1 did compared to Index and this season it's pretty clear that style of writing and pacing is better for ratings and sales, so saying they will drop by going back to that after it dropped from NOT doing that is just kind of silly to believe.

I mean it factually did better by being in that style it's returning to once this arc ends - that style and pacing that did so much better than this season lacking it has done so far - so I just don't see any way you could reason out believing the ratings will drop when it returns to the formula that made it the second most successful JC Staff anime series in the entire history of the company (and one of the most successful anime in the history of the medium in general as well, not just limited to JC Staff).

You make an amazing product that is one of the highest selling and most popular things ever to be in the industry your product is in - and then you make something pretty drastically different and that factually does less well, pretty clearly because of that big change - and then you go back to how it was originally...and you think it'll do worse? That defies common sense, business sense, and basic logic.

His(and anyone else's) brain is nothing like Last Order's or the other clones.

Dont you think it is a pity that(as you said)S although the best thing in years has(or is supposed to have."Read somewhere" from Goldzero isnt exactly a reliable source,and since it was 1 day before the sales started I guess he meant the pre-orders)sold less?
The rating,at least in MAL, is way higher for S.

Yeah, and I don't see why that should be the case if it's true, so I'm hoping it's not. Railgun S is fucking incredible, the directing, writing, cinematography, animation, and every seiyuu's execution of their characters is some of the best in the medium. If it's true or not, I find it hard to believe something of this level would be overlooked, especially by already solid fans of the series.

But like you said, it's not really reliable right now, so we'll see. I have a feeling it'll do at least close to as good as Railgun did, there's no way it's only on par with Index (not to say Index is bad, just talking sales numbers here) when it's this damn good. And if it does end up that way, as much as I just explained out how, I really don't get how it'd do that poorly when it is the quality that it is.

But like you said, it's not really reliable right now, so we'll see. I have a feeling it'll do at least close to as good as Railgun did, there's no way it's only on par with Index (not to say Index is bad, just talking sales numbers here) when it's this damn good.

I dont think that it will do bad.It just seems weird to me that it is rumored to sell less(even for a copy) that the previous season when it is better than season 1.Unlike other series(lets say Bakemonogatari vs Nisemonogatari,cant think of something else now)the opinions on S arent clashing that much.They barely clash I have to say.

Lets hope that some fans(Railgun fans,Index fans,Raildex fans) just forgot to pre order them.What else can I say?

If we're talking about pre-order estimations, this is how Stalker has it:


Which is definitely not bad at all and actually similar to the first season's actual sales for the first BD volume as well:

(from here)
(a quick check tells me the later volumes didn't sell much more in the first week)

One could argue it should be doing better considering Tallon is right in saying the Railgun anime brought more fans to the series and S is doing a way better job to please those who were wishing for a more faithful adaptation, not to mention it has been great when it comes to directing, soundtrack, voice acting... well, all that, I'm just going to repeat what several people have already said here. However, the pre-orders are not the actual sales and them being this close to the first season's actual sales sounds like a good number to me. Let's wait to see how it actually goes.

Does anyone have full data on the sales numbers for Railgun's first season in general?
Also, shouldn't we just create a separate thread for talking about sales numbers instead of talking about it in the Episode 15 discussion thread?

Is this really made by JC Staff? I can't believe this has turned out to be the show I look forward to the most every week. Great episode as usual.

Just a heads up: The Index SS which came bundled with the Limited Edition Railgun S DVD/BD is called Necessarius Special Entrance Exam and is currently being translated by js06.

Wow Railgun continues to surpass itself each episode
Luckily it's been a while since I've seen Index

The tension between Misaka, sister, Touma and Accelerator were marvelous
Final of the arc is next I guess

Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

o.o... So when Touma said, "get away from Misaka's little sister this instant!" with scary eyes I got goosebumps and was like fuck yeah!...anyone else get that? lol =3

Tbh I've grown super attached to the Misaka clones as well. =< I'm so sad when one of them gets killed. =< The little black kitty helps humanize them as well. >.< Kitty so cute!

Touma's so badass when he gets mad. =P
