Myurton posted:I'm thinking that Toma will probably help Misaka during that one since he'll probably be able to just touch people to remove her creepy mind control crap. She has the perfect traits for a Touma punching: -Hugely reliant on superpowers thus most likely to break down after her power don't work -An rear end in a top hat so Touma can spout his speech about morals and stuff -A girl

After learning that the project is real, Misaka probably did more research on it and then stashed it there. It was most likely in Index since this part of Railgun happens before the storyline in Index.

They are both level 5s but if I recall correctly, the level 5s themselves are ranked and Accelerator is ranked above Misaka.

Dan7el posted:I think this is the first ever Japanese anime where I heard someone say "meow" instead of "nyaa" for the sound a cat makes. And then, the cat said "meow" also. Which, I think, is more accurate than "nyaa" anyway. Actually, if I were to imitate it, I'd do more of an "rweorw" sort of. I don't understand the whole "nyaa" thing. It's just not very accurate, in my opinion. Zettace fucked around with this message at 00:37 on May 13, 2013 |

Well, it is kind of a natural stopping point between finding out about the project and doing something about it. I'm guessing they need to pad it out again since that's what happened in the first season.

Yeah, he can turn on his reflection barrier to be an automatic thing. In Index he even uses it to cancel out all sound around him to give him some peace and quiet.ChronoReverse posted:Speed doesn't really matter. Not sure why you'd think it would. Accelerator can bend light since it has a vector. Zettace fucked around with this message at 20:16 on May 21, 2013 |

Next week's episode preview shows Misaka fighting espers. Looks like the city is fighting back with their big guns now.

I wonder if Item is strictly a contract group or do they have direct connections to the head of Academy City like GROUP. For those that don't know, GROUP was a group of espers in Index who were blackmailed into following the orders of Academy City and had a similar structure to how Item worked in this episode (middle man gives the orders and they do it). And yes, it is a really unoriginal name.

JosephWongKS 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?

Well, there's a group named "SCHOOL" so you're partly right.

I don't remember. Did Misaka ever meet Last Order in the anime? I know Touma has seen her but I don't think we ever had a scene were they were together.

This weeks episode was another action packed episode and some of you guys might like to know that there were no slice of life segments in this episode. Kuroko and co didn't even appear outside the opening and ending theme. Why do I have the feeling Meltdowner is going to do the facility destruction for Misaka next episode

SatansBestBuddy posted:I'm kinda curious now how many people here are watching the show cold, and how many are neck-deep into the LN's and manga and already know everything that's gonna happen. Cause the normal reaction to excellent episodes like this isn't "oh hey more action ", it's typically more "what do you think the repercussions of uploading emotions to the MISAKA network is going to be? Why did they call in the scientist girl anyway? How does Meltdowner know where Misaka is headed? How much info was ITEM given about this mission, since it appears that girl who could stop bullets wasn't interested in the clone in the pod and is somewhat aware of what's gonna happen to scientist girl." Basically: 1. The upload failed so nothing is changed. There's a new security system that was installed as shown in the form of Last Order who acts as hub for the Sisters Network. 2. They called in the scientist girl to help them transfer all the data in the facility to a new one because they know they'll be attacked by Misaka sooner or later. 3. Meltdowner knows where Misaka is through the other girl's power. The girl with the Stalker ability or something. Frenda explained the power in this episode. 4. ITEM probably doesn't know much. They were contracted through a 3rd party and only care about doing their job.

Railgun has now caught up to the start of the Sisters arc in Index. They'll most likely retell the story through Misaka's point of view in the coming episodes so if you want it through Touma's view you can start watching from episode 10 of Index (that episode starts off with the vending machine scene so it starts where this episode stops).

On the other hand, Touma doesn't hold back against anyone, neither the old or children are safe from getting punched in the face by Touma. He's also gender neutral in his face punching which is a refreshing change of pace. If you're an rear end in a top hat you are going to get your face punched no matter who you are.

Redcrimson posted:The only real problem I have with the resolution is that the character that Misaka ultimately confides in is Touma. A character that got maybe 10 mins of screentime in season 1. And while I realize the Sisters Arc was originally an Index arc, it feels incredibly dumb in Railgun. Misaka already has her own posse of sidekicks, but instead Touma just stumbles in and Deus ex Punchinas Accelerator in the face. I think the arc would have been great with literally any other character in Touma's place. Edit: As an example of this show being for Index fans, the Niconico comments on the Railgun episodes are overjoyed when Touma appears and everyone is calling him "a cool dude" and that he's awesome.

The lasts episode was certainly something. It was a little too wacky for me with a huge battle with lower level espers but no one seemed to get hurt even when bullets started to fly, a giant transforming robot which Saten could pilot with masterful skill for some reason, and a convenient plot device so everyone forgets about the whole thing. It also tried to shoe horn every character in which seemed kind of awkward.
