A Certain Scientific Railgun ... the anime !?

Brilliant part lol. =D

Finally one of the episodes I've been waiting for.

Cute is fine, and is an aspect that exists in all tsunderes ("I-i-it's not like I like you o-or anything!"). The idiocy I can do without, and is not necessary to see Mikoto's cute side.

To Aru Kagaku no Rail Gun .

i loled at the battle where touma fake his loss and misaka end up geting even angrier and chase him.

@ZeroOBK: but yea, stupidity can only go so far, but it doesn't seem like Mikoto is the type to learn from her mistakes. She's a pretty stubborn character.

Oh yea, bondage in this episode where Kuroko is tied up under Mikoto's bed = win. (Though too bad she can't teleport out of that because then the dorm manager would come in and pull some suplex move on her.)

Tsunderes are emotionally stubborn and stubborn to listen to advice from the object of their affections. Mikoto already learned from her previous encounter. She had anticipated that the iron sand wouldn't work at all. So, it makes Mikoto seem stupid since Touma might as well have his left arm lopped off for how often he uses it. I mean, Touma always THRUSTS HIS RIGHT ARM OUT when blocking an attack. I mean, we're talking Accelerator levels of stupidity here.


... What's your point?

All characters seem pretty stupid, but I live with it because it makes the show that much more fun.

ah Nothing
just showing the link
that's it.

5th episodes came out yesterday, and I thought that was nice episode that explains why Uihara is part of Judgment and partnered with Kuroko. fripside's OP song is getting reeeal catchy the more I listen to it.

Also, the graphics alone make this show a very good watch.

OP and ED songs are out from LONE and Nipponsei.

Who's releasing the best quality, most uncensored versions of this anime? The groups I know of that are subbing it are Mazui, which are speed-subs, and Ayako, who I really don't know anything about. Anyone here have moar info on subtitle-quality and use of uncensored raws?

3 groups are currently up to date with the show: Mazui, Chihiro and Ayako. Neither got particularly high ratings but they're all easily watchable and present similar level quality. My personal choice of the 3 is Mazui mainly because I had the least unpleasant experiences with them in the past. Also a group named Nuke is running 2 episodes behind at the moment and is imo the best one to follow for the show (similar quality/superior subs). You can somewhat compare them here.

PS/ No censoring differences between the four nor have I ever heard about other versions.

@Das: I'd have to disagree. I'd go for Ayako over those three, as they're a pretty well-established fansub group in my opinion that mainly does ecchi-related anime. Mazui was a new fansub group that I barely heard about until they took over the entire second season of Wolf adn Spice. Chihiro is much better than before, and they also do anime similar to that of Ayako, except they're often slow on the releases.

Like I said g-money - it's only my personal choice (for this particular show) and all 3 are fairly good. It's true that Ayako is a well established group by now but it doesn't mean they always bristle with quality/flawlessness. Besides, try as I might I can never forget that they were partly-born from the possibly worst fansub group to ever exist - Your-Mom (though I'm aware that it's practically a new group by now). I also agree that Chihiro is making constant progress but after comparing ep 1 from all 3, I found them least to my liking. As for Mazui I think they're doing fairly good considering how young and fast they are and find them promising.

I don't know how long I'll be able to keep watching this unless it get's a tad more interesting, Uiharu, Saten and Kuroko in oneesama mode are more annoying then the few scenes with Misaka, Touma or that girl voiced by Ueda Kana(I'm fanboy) are good.

On the fansubs I'd go with Ayako, Mazui is alright as well but Chihiro did to many episodes in the past where they just guessed what they were saying so i don't have any intention to watch any of their releases again.

If anyone that has read the manga could tell me this show is gonna continue to be plotless for the next 17 episodes as well I'd be grateful.

It gets plot fairly soon, from the looks of it. Next episode should get things moving for the end of the arc.
