Still better and cheaper than one machine running it.

dunno if cheaper, l mean, in normal circumstances you would have to support the life signs at peak capacity, altough she uses 10K of them to minimize the strain l think, lol, a 100GHz CPU, imagine what cool games will run on it XD

I liked the scene of the girl's hairband with blood.
it looked traumatizing.

I don't know, it was kinda sad, the scene with that little girl was really touching, l can't wait for the next ep to see what happens next, and how the "ghost" or "apparition" wil lrape Misaka :D

I'm really loving this series so far.

But then again, Misaka was my favorite character in the original show.

And for what it's worth they pretty much established that Level 0 and no level are different BUT that it's possible to go from no level to Level 0.
(click to show/hide)


I think their level system is a tad odd, though. After all, while Misaka could take out Devastator (as shown in Transformers 2 Devastator is weak against railguns and similar effects) I think Kurouko's power is significantly stronger and more useful on anything other than the mass destruction scale.

The linear nature of your Euclidean geometry both confounds and befuddles me.

So I finally got up to date on railgun.

It's silly, completely predictable, filled with flawed logic and pseudoscience, and littered with plot holes.
It's also completely awesome.

I still think it would be leagues better if it were just a true slice of life show, since its main strengths are awesome production values and great characters. Trying to make a serious anime take place in a nonsensical setting completely devoid of internal logic isn't generally a good idea. But they somehow managed to pull off tired writing clichés in a way successful enough to make the show really enjoyable so it's forgiven.

Also, Saten is love - I think it's time for new ava/sig.

?

Still another 14 episodes left, IIRC. Looks like next one is a beach filler, which I'm not entirely opposed to.

This episode was fucking crazy, though. Great way to wrap up the arc.

oh? I just got the impression that with the professor woman captured we'd reached the end or something =P

Kiyama is basically the good guy here, so if the series would end with her going to prison and the whole GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENTING ON HUMANS business being ignored, it would be more then a little broken.
Anyways, nice ep, Misaka was pretty damn epic - her final fight gave me major Nanoha vibes, and that's always a good thing. Too bad she's only powerful when it's convenient for the plot, eh. Railgun is still dumb as fuck, but enjoyable nonetheless. Oh and this episode made think that Misaka X Saten(and Shirai x Uiharu) would be the superior pairings.

That last episode was great. I always get chills when Misaka goes all out... like... wow. It's seriously a billion times better than Index. All we're missing is Kanzaki and Last Order and then everything will be perfect.

it's kinda obvious that that woman talking on the phone near the power plant afterwards is going to be involved isn't she ?

Erious is right, Kiyama is the good guy, however, she wanted to right the wrongs the rong way, altough l don't blame her because apparently it's the brass of Anti-Skill thats behind all this, l only hope the beach episode is well deserved vacation for the girls for what they went through recently :]

Not to mention Kuroko getting it on again with Misaka lol :D

dumb as fuck

HEY LETS MENTION GRAVITONS SO WE CAN HAVE A POWER WHERE A GUY BLOWS UP SODA CANS

Did they even bother to come up with an explanation for that? I would've been happy with almost any remotely plausible explanation, like supposedly being able to control gravitons to create a singularity which then for some reason would explode. But I guess that wouldn't explain why he was limited to using it on soda cans...

Anyway, I agree. It doesn't seem like they have a clue what they're on about at some parts.

It did seem like the end, cause of the credits.
BUT
there was a  "next episode preview"
which makes me rethink that the series has ended.

and I must say
I liked Misaka's powers at max


oh! loooky looky at what me found
