Well... that's quite a start. 2 new characters that I don't really care for...

Kuroko felt like a grandma's voice the more I hear it.

Ayeee rewatching this series before catching up on second season, gotta get into the feels of the series. I have to say, I really love the world building of the Toaru series, and this series is one of my all-time favorite magic/supernatural series. It's a shame there isn't a lot of them out there. You'd think there would be more given that it's almost every young teen's fantasy, it's definitely more deserved imo compared to something with chuunibyo syndrome.

Wish we could've had more Touma x Biribiri scenes in the railgun installment but alas, I love it for what it is.

It's confusing Railgun is a spinoff of Index yet chronologically it starts before index does. Ultimately the choice is up to you.

I enjoy Saten.

It's nice to see more of Misaka. That scene towards the end was badass. RIP road.

Oh and Mikasa is 3rd strongest?
I wonder who's 2nd

This looks better than Index. Different director, the guy who directed Toradora and AnoHana. It shows. The art direction is still nothing to write home about, but the characters move very nicely, and the character art is basically perfect.

Right off the bat, we get the wacky sexual harassment antics courtesy of Saten and Kuroko. Gotta get that squared away, this is a light novel franchise after all (I know the source of Railgun is a manga, but Index was a light novel first). Well, I knew what I was in for, so I'm not going to bring this up again. Probably.

Outside of that, the leads are alright. The famously cool Mikoto is the reason I'm watching, but the other three aren't too bad either. I'm surprised at how much I don't hate Kuroko, because she annoyed the hell out of me in Index. And Saten might just be worth keeping an eye on.

Uiharu & Saten are hilarious comedy duo (Kuroko alone is as well) lol

Judgment really needs to hire Misaka :D

I started Toaru with Railgun. Looks like I made the right choice.

Basically, this episode feels more like an introduction of the main characters.

I hope that it will really enjoyable to watch.

The first episode was pretty much filler tied with actual manga events which was most likely to extend it for the epiosde time so they added a few extra details etc


1) that scene where the other were doing tests weren't in the manga only Misaka was doing a test while students where in class

2) the whole meet up with uiharu and her friend were she lifts up her skirt wasn't supposed to be till later

3) uiharu is supposed to be wearing a mask as she is ill and she has meet misaka beforehand

4) the crep stand was supposed to happen before meeting uiharu and her friend wasn't with her

5) the robbery happens differently too misaka didn't get mad because one of the robbers hurt saten but they made her drop her crepe and no kid was involved

Basically saten was absent in the first few chapters

that's a very funny 1st episode, with all the relationship between Misaka and Kuroko =D
not waiting at all for the fanservice huh? not that i'm going to complain <3


also, as someone who plays Crossing Void, seeing a gacha kick right at the start made this episode even more funny

and ofc, that coin beam is as awesome as it is in the game =D
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons

Since the third season of this show is about to begin, it seemed more than obvious to review the previous seasons. As a start, the story starts well: lots of comedy and new characters for the side story of TAMnI. The narration proceeds well, with a setting that I love a lot, or that of the "Slice of Life". Quality of drawings and backgrounds quite good, CG sufficient as quality. Catchy soundtrack, such as opening and ending.

Well, watched Index not that long ago.. Now wanna watch this one.. Expect seeing more about characters, really.. ;p Their personalities, lives, or stuff like this.. But will see, what we get here..
If Kuroko gets to caress Misaka's boobs like this.. I wonder, if she masturbates later to her memories.. ;p
New pair of girls, who wasn't in Index' first season, hm?.. Uiharu Kazari and Saten Ruiko.. Hope they'll be enjoyable characters.. ;P
Hm?.. Kuroko says that she considers Uiharu to be her one of the little friends she has?.. Interesting.. Nice that they're close.. Though, with what kinds of plans Kuroko had.. It might as well just have been a lie.. Well, will see about their relationship..
Well, introductory episode.. Hard to say, how much I'll like this anime.. I liked Index, while enjoying Index' character the most, really.. And her romance with Touma.. Well, only first episode, so will see more.. So far, only a bit of introduction, really..

Ugh I could only find this dub and I hate it. Other than that, this was a pretty cool episode. I can definitely find myself getting caught up in the world being set up. I just hope railgun girl and the creators of the story will find a good way to keep things fresh. Because as things currently are, railgun seems super op and I can’t really see many ways of one up-ing her

Recently got done watching Index, so I figured I'd give Railgun a go, and wow this is a strong first episode. I really hope they keep that up.

They really went hard on the fan service too it seems, can't say I saw that coming, but it wasn't over the top either.

Loving the characters so far. Obviously I know Misaka and Shirai from Index, but Uiharu and Saten are new to me, their introduction was excellent.

Honestly, I feel like I could have begun watching this pretty easily and understood what was going on even without watching Index, but obviously previous knowledge helps a lot.

Animation is very good too, as I've come to expect from J.C.Staff.

Not really sure what was happening the whole time, I think I'm missing context that should have been given to me.
