Well... this was really boring. And I cant stand Haruues voice, Uiharu and Banri arent much better either... Their voices are just so sickeningly sweet.

Touching episode! cute loli appears, and it looks like she knows Misaka.
And concerning the thief scene, Kongou did the right thing by stopping him with her esper powers!!!!!!

Yeah, obviously!

NOBODY talks about this?! Anyone!?

At the end of ep18 it was indeed Shinobu!! I can't believe that I was WRONG!! I never expected THIS to happen!!

Damn it, I feel bad whatever I said that like jumping into conclusion for nothing because this episode has gone into different direction I mean ended up into anime original story arc & it has nothing to do with the manga/light novel.

That's just great. I really should think again before I start something like this. Oh well.. Fuck it.... *sigh*

I feel bad right now. because too much mistakes that I've made earlier this year despite many people wondering including me that what happened to Shinobu after we saw her during Episode 9. I really didn't see that coming at the end, I swear a god. I feel like I'm spammin my post right now due to over-reaction. :(

Because it honestly wasn't surprising.
a) She was in the OP
b) The Railgun anime has a tendency of going into a story-element left open-ended in the Railgun manga.
c) This was discussed in last episodes discussion thread....

I'm not sure why, but I found this to be a really touching episode. I've seen ones like it and didn't really care...but this one was really sweet and emotional.

I really have to give props to J.C. Staff on this. It seems like they've figured things out and made an already great universe so much better with this series.

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.

That was a bit emotional, rather unexpectedly. Even as shady scientists were clearly plotting something in the background after an ambush conducted on ITEM to gather some data. I was surprised to see... Shinobu among the other scientists obviously plotting something villainous. Maybe she's become disgruntled and decided to join others in scheming against Academy City? (do not answer this)

New loli Febli introduced. It seems pretty clear she's related to whatever those scientists are scheming. I'm not gonna lie about being a bit underwhelmed by this new arc though. The Sisters Arc: Railgun S edition raised the bar for my expectations for this anime. I guess I'll just have to adjust again.

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.


Well the fact that the news said there would be tons of characters in this arc might mean angel fall screws with our minds during the arc...

Also, why did this episode get rated so badly? It had Kongou, Shinobu, ITEM, and team Railgun, what isn't there to like?

Also, the bad scientists don't look that Kihara-esque especially since they seem to be against Esper powers...

Febli is interesting... After seeing the movie stream last week, this was nice to see. This arc has some great animation still. I hope it gets better as it increases. Well... if Angel fall happens... I will be really happy lol.

Though... even after watching this plus the rest of the season I know in my heart that Railgun III will be way better than Railgun S...

It's rated badly because:
1.Kongou finally does something in the anime but she gets told by A FREAKING NOBODY.
2.Team Railgun+2 playing round.Yes Team Index does that too but not for an entire ep.Things got good only when Febli was found.
3.The bad scientists definitely arent Kiharas.

About Angel Fall:The viewer,us, being affected by it would be cool,IF we had the magic side's POV.RAilgun only viewers would be ALL "WTF?" because there is no way for Misaka and co to know about it.

Come to think of it, when was the last time we see so much focus on Uiharu...

Also surprised to see Shinobu again....
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.

That's why I used the word "so far." If a character is going to be built up as interesting, his/her personality and relevancy to the story can be felt immediately after the first few minutes. The rule of "first impression" not only applies in real life, but also in anime and any other mediums as well.

Febli strikes me as the third blond in this season without the manipulative nature of sexy Misaki, nor the craziness of loli Frenda. Febli borrows many Frenda's loli features and Mizore in R+V's habit of munching lollipop. I'm not trying prejudge her character since she would fit in very well with a normal SOL series, which builds characterization slowly. But compared to the vivid cast of characters in Raigun 2, most of whom left a good impression in the first minute, Febli seems lacking impact. Furthermore, the first 3/4 of the season has been using the up-front characterization, so a change from that to a slow build-up is a bit sudden.

So far, one noteworthy point about Febli is that she seems to have a hand on helping the merch scratch Shizuri. Thus, she might be a level 4 esper who also somehow relates to Shinobu. I'm hoping that she will not be another Erii whose relevancy in the series is still in question despite being voiced by Kana Hanazawa.

I see what you mean.

Unless they have something really good ,yeah she will end up just like Erii and Banri.The only good thing in Season 1's original arc was that it was related to Kiyama.Lets hope that they will have something good for Shinobu and /or ITEM.

Whatever. I'm seriously cannot believe that I've been trolled after I just saw what happened at the end of the episode. When was the last time that we talk about it during Sister's arc during last episode 9? Apparently we were wrong....
