A Certain Scientific Railgun ... the anime !?

^ don't you mean episode 3?, btw i can't open your link

Bleh. With Kuroko pushed to the background, ep 3 failed at being funny as well as dramatic/surprising. To make things worse some sort of plot is indeed beginning to raise it's ugly head, making me doubt I'll be able to take any of these characters seriously, no matter what occurs.

I didn't get pissed at Index for waiting (like with every other anime), but because of shounen speeches and a mess of a plot (Hello there, Angel's Fall!). My ability to enjoy Index was in such a state of flux, that I feel like I must have a masochistic side to have been able to finish it. Each arc started great, then dived into disappointment, then came out with an adequate or BS ending. So, even if Railgun fails at my favorite parts of this arc, at least it will be more consistent than Index.

Also, for once, I feel like I'm the only one who's been reading the manga.

right now i just consider this show to be a fun take of index, much like fumoffu for fmp. in that aspect i can enjoy it, since i only expect this to be amusing. although now i'm seeing that they want to bring a plot into it which could ruin this...

Actually, the plot they bring in is halfway decent. Even Kuroko gets some glory moments in it, which is pretty surprising.

I thought that episode three was a little bit less enjoyable than the other two, but I still liked the majority of it. I I'd rather have a mix of a plot and fan-service, and that's the kind of vibe I'm getting from Railgun.

meh, if its decent or not ill watch it to the end, the worst that can happen is i delete it from my hdd. but i hope it stays good since i do see some promises of good things in the show

IMO, these fanservices really degrades the whole "Upper Level" arc.. they even haven't shown were Mikoto fights "you know who" and lose.

I'm not taking this series seriously at all. Given J.C. Staff's poor record in making TaMnI, taking this series as actually having a coherent plot may be dangerous. So far, the series is a riot and I'm enjoying it.

Episode 4 was just great. Truly Touma and Mikoto interactions at their best. Besides it had a chainsword, once you add that the whole episode is automatic win :).

I really like Saten now, despite how little she appeared in the episode. The episode was also a surprise since the preview from before indicated filler.

Ep 4 made up for the previous, epic loss performed by Touma. :D

since you read the manga, what i really want to know is:

I like it so far (^_^)

That's what makes Misaki Mikoto our biribiri. She was so damn cute this episode, especially the tsundere part, "Arienai!" STOMP*

And Touma's too much of a nice guy, but I like that part of him. The Touma x Mikoto interactions are nothing but win, like FlareKnight mentioned.


That was the funniest shit ever.
