AtomikKrab posted:Yes, thus my spoilering it to keep it in the dark for those who wish no spoilers, you were agreeing with me right? Spoilers should be for things that had already happened in the latest episode. Events that will only happen in future episodes should not be posted or, if posted, should be clearly marked as spoilers of future events. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3059901 - ADTRW Forum Rules posted:

Not sure if this is a spoiler but spoilering just in case: I've seen "Frenda" spent as "Fre|nda" or "Fre_nda" on other anime forums. Is this just a disagreement about the canon spelling of the character, or is there a deeper significance to the variations in the spelling of her name?

Yasser Arafatwa posted:I'd be okay with the filler junk this season if it wasn't entirely "Mikasa angsting and brooding while her friends awkwardly look on without actually prying enough to figure out what's up/help out." It's loving boring. If they really did bring in Mikasa for anime filler, that'd make it the best anime filler across all of the Raildex seasons.

I'm surprised the authorities let Misaki wander around freely the way she does. Isn't she far and away the most dangerous Level 5 in the city? Accelerator can only maim and kill you; Misaki can destroy your memories and your identity, enslave you, and make you love her for enslaving you. I would have thought that once you discover someone with mind control abilities, you would immediately lock her in a sealed room instead of going out of your way to develop her powers and make her even stronger.

Zettace posted:Yup. They're also the "good guy" group and made up of side characters from the earlier arcs of Index so if you follow this series they'll come up a lot. The writer may be pretty creative in coming up with ESPer powers and uses for them, but he's not so good at giving names to collective bodies, is he? Next you'll be telling me there's an organization named "ORGANIZATION" and a school named "SCHOOL". JosephWongKS fucked around with this message at 10:08 on Jun 4, 2013 |

Except that Meltdown's crew survives the arc. I went on to the next chapter as well and oh my god Sogita Gunha is amazing.  I don't even know what his power is but I'd love to have another spin-off series featuring him.

Bakanogami posted:Gunha is the best character in the franchise, and his power is that he is Amazing. I'm not even kidding, he seems like he can do anything, nobody has any idea how, and his signature technique is called "Amazing Punch". He's only ranked #7 because even he doesn't know how his ability really works. I believe it's stated that if he ever properly figured it out he'd jump way up the Level 5 rankings. How much money would it take to create the spin-off series A Certain Amazing GUTS? JosephWongKS fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Jun 4, 2013 |

General questions about the series and not this episode or arc in particular: So far in Railgun anime seasons 1 and 2, we've seen four of the Level 5s - Misaka, Mugino, Accelerator and Misaki. The first three have enormous destructive power, and mind-control is always a game-breaking ability, especially when you are able to control an entire library-full of people at once. 1. Has the light novels or other sources addressed the issue of what the other Espers in the series would be able to do if they reached Level 5? E.g.: Kuroko's teleportation Kongou's propulsion Konori's X-ray vision Haruue's telepathy Uiharu's ability to "keep temperature constant" The gang leader girl's ability to manipulate asphalt The bank robber's Equal Speed 2. What are the city authorities thinking, trying to turn Accelerator into a Level 6? As it stands, he's already an outstanding nutcase - why are they trying to make him of all people more powerful?

Light novel spoiler: So that's what "Fre_nda" and "Fre|nda" are referencing. I can't decide whether that's clever or just morbid.

Will the Sisters get more time in the limelight after this arc is over? Their deadpan humour (as illustrated by 9982 before her untimely and cruel demise) is one of the best things in this series.

It makes him more interesting to her than people who are twitching on the ground after pissing her off. I guess that counts as a solid foundation for a healthy relationship in anime-land.

Episode 12 - The Sisters continue to be the best part of this series. I love their sense of humor. "Dog." "Tokugawa Ieyasu". "Schroedinger". "Deferred".  Do they get a spin-off series of their own?

Man, things sure got hell of a lot darker between Season 1 and this season.  Not that I don't enjoy watching this season, mind you - it just feels like I'm watching two entirely differently series, which coincidentally happen to have characters who share the same names and similar appearances.

AnacondaHL posted:This is anime; if they don't show the character in black and white sketch that fades to white screen then she ain't dead. This is Academy City, home of officially-sanctioned experiments on orphans that turn them comatose (Season 1) and experiments involving the methodical and systematic slaughtering of 20,000 girls (Season 2). There are much, much, much worse things they can do to a captive other than killing her.

Which part of Season 1 was anime-only? I can tell that the "swimsuit episode", "dormitory supervisor gets rejected by her crush episode", and "day in the life of the incompetent Anti-Skill officer episode" were obviously filler episodes, but was there anything else that was anime-original?

It also served to wrap up Harumi Kiyama's story, which was also sort of left hanging in the manga. Wait, what? Seriously? So in the light novels / manga, the eye-bag scientist lady still hasn't rescued her students and all of those kids are still comatose? That's one hell of a plot ticket to leave unresolved.

I hope the remainder of the season includes at least one episode featuring Sogiita Gunha. I still don't know what his powers are (other than being AMAZING) or what he actually does on a daily basis, but I've read that one manga chapter at the start of the Sports Festival arc where he and Misaki recite the sportsmanship pledge and I'd love to see him making an appearance in the anime.

Kuroko and Misaka are respectively Level 4 and Level 5 Espers, and have faced literal life-and-death situations in combat against overwhelming odds. Why are they so god-drat terrified of the dormitory supervisor? Is it just played up for comedy, or is the dormitory supervisor actually a secret Level 6 or something?

What would the Level 5 version of that ability look like? Talk to all the cats in the city / the world, all at once? EDIT: Man, even if you don't end up being a Level 0 and actually get an ESP ability, it's still a roulette game with really long odds. You may end up with the ability to manipulate vectors, mastery over electromagnetism, or mind control - or you may end up with the power to talk to cats.

During his fight with Touma, there was a scene when he kicked a piece of railway track and it straightened itself in the air (before it broke off into chunks targeted at Touma). Seems like that could be used for construction as well as destruction purposes.
