To Aru Kagaku no Railgun – 01: The Greatest Railgun There Ever Was and the Kuroko Who Loved Her

Railgun 01 07

She is so kinky…

So right now I am stuck behind the Great Firewall of a certain socialist government and it remains to be seen whether a Railguns and yuri are acceptable to communist theory and theories on market socialism. I know for certain that not everything here works the way it should, but whatever jet lag is kicking my ass anyways. In any case as a member of the Imperial Navy, though sadly not part of the famed 501st Legion, I am obliged as sailor to be positively in love with railguns, and by extension Biribiri. It was pretty nice for an intro episode with the four principle girls being introduced and much is made known of Kuroko’s love of her one-sama Mikoto. I just hope that they end up happier than Liang Qi and Alphard onee-sama. At any rate Mikoto has mastery of electricity and can make instant railguns out of coins, and Kuroko can teleport. The former has no abilities that really enhance her day to day life, but the same does not apply at all to the latter.

Biribiri is made of seven kinds of win and hawtness, but I cannot help but admire and cheer for Kuroko as she tries to make her onee-sama know that HER LOVE WILL NEVER DIE. Saten-san is my kind of bold, but I am not terribly sure what to make of Uihara. Action wise it was pretty good though I was hoping that Kuroko would not only be dodging effortlessly but also be capable of Alphard’s defensive feats and do some sweet reversals. Ah well with a little more polish I guess Kuroko can become as skilled as Alphard and about 10% as crazy as Liang Qi. I just can’t help but love Kuroko for making the most of her teleportation powers to further her skinship with her onee-sama, and as they say if at first you don’t succeed try, try, and try again!

All in all Railgun seems to be living up to expectations, and I eagerly look forward to more.

Calawain’s Admiration of Railguns

One of those shows I was looking forward to the most this season and it didn’t disappoint. Biribiri was definitely my favorite character from Index, with her tomboyish brand of tsundere and electricity. As superpowers go, I think most people would agree that lightning/electricity is wicked cool (and another electricity superpower comes next week with Darker Than Black, interestingly enough). I was glad we got to see some action right off the bat, and was pleasantly surprised at how much they showed Kurko kicking ass.

Oh yeah, and then there was naked shower groping, and glomping in a restaurant. The yuri action was the other half of the reason I am watching this show. The two other protagonists got some exposure, with the skirt flipping Ruiko my preferred of the pair so far. I don’t really care for the meek types like Kazari. That being said, the production values were decent, about the same as Index was some months ago. The voice work was solid, Rina Sato is quite delicious as Biribiri. Definitely a watch for this season.

No Pantsu NO FRILLS!

Railgun 01 09

One day she will slip up…maybe…

Railgun 01 10

At those loose socks, so very rare these days…

Railgun 01 11

My kind of School

Railgun 01 12

Man how much longer until she gets her EPIC mount?

Railgun 01 13

That is a pretty low level cap..

Railgun 01 14

She can do that to my unit coin any day.

Railgun 01 15

The time to Strike is NOW!

Railgun 01 16

You felt a disturbance in the yuri?

Railgun 01 17

INDEED

Railgun 01 18

Size matters not! judge them by size do you? Well you should not…

Railgun 01 19

Such a fragile heart Kuroko has!

Railgun 01 20

Who dares wins…eventually

Railgun 01 21

Strike at the tail.

Railgun 01 22

RUINED FOR MARRIAGE!

Railgun 01 23

Now that is some daily dose she’s getting.

Railgun 01 24

Proof that Album art is not always a good thing…

Railgun 01 25

SO PLEASE BUY THE DVD!

Railgun 01 26

Is she skilled in literary and military arts too?

Railgun 01 27

I would have called it Operation Enduring Love.

Railgun 01 28

Such a thoughtful gesture it was…

Railgun 01 29

Hey at least she did not try a love potion.

Railgun 01 30

I would have tried getting caught in the rain first…

Railgun 01 31

Friends are people who like you even after you throw them under the bus.

Railgun 01 32

It looks like these Patrick tactics are having the desired effect.

Railgun 01 33

This is LOVE.

Railgun 01 34

Kuroko got the best seat in the house.

Railgun 01 35

Disturbing? Not in the least but it is quite fascinating…

Railgun 01 36

Like Milia Jenius she has a thing for arcade games.

Railgun 01 37

If only they were of interest to you…

Railgun 01 38

I have my doubts…

Railgun 01 39

but it seems that Kuroko know every little thing about Biribiri in intimate detail.

Railgun 01 40

…Hey whatever floats your boat.

Railgun 01 41

Well you don’t make much a secret of it…

Railgun 01 42

Despite her awesome powers Biribiri still waits in line with the rest of humanity.

Railgun 01 43

Though on occasion her non-abuse of status gets troublesome at times.

Railgun 01 44

She’s far too proud to beg.

Railgun 01 45

Saten-san holds a most powerful bait…

Railgun 01 46

ARE YOU SURE YOU WILL NOT TRY AND GET A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL FOR IT?

Railgun 01 47

Kuroko wanted to make a bouquet for her onee-sama.

Railgun 01 48

Why can’t you just give Kuroko a kiss, ignore her long enough and she’ll end up like Liang Qi…

Railgun 01 49

Taking Saten to claim Uihara…

Railgun 01 50

Even though Kuroko is a little weird she is at the very least a one onee-sama woman.

Railgun 01 51

And Kuroko is the clenched fist of said Judgement…

Railgun 01 52

You have the right to scream in fear and agony. Anything you say or do will be used against you at the military tribunal. Cast in the name of Zeus…YE GUILTY.

Railgun 01 53

Ah the Three Stooges Robbers…

Railgun 01 54

Ah you can dodge, but can you do a reversal like the Great Alphard? If you can you might make Alphard Mk III yet…

Railgun 01 55

Fat man can’t dodge…

Railgun 01 56

At this point Kuroko should have put a gun to his balls and ended it.

Railgun 01 57

Yeah they are significantly longer than anything in your arsenal.

Railgun 01 58

GET SOME.

Railgun 01 59

Saten-san may have no special powers but she has the most HP of the four of them…

Railgun 01 60

MAKE WAY FOR PRINCE BIRI!

Railgun 01 01

I never heard of that but by Zeus that is what Kuroko will do to ass holes like you who spread vicious lies about her…

Railgun 01 02

THE RAILGUN.

Railgun 01 03

Level 0 make you badass normal, remember that.

Railgun 01 04

I approve of this pairing.

Railgun 01 05

Screw you hetero feelings for what’s his face you have Kuroko who is superior in almost every way.

Railgun 01 06

A night of Kuroko and Onee-sama that went on forever and ever…

    good luck with the firewall, though a socialist govt with an imperial navy sounds schizophrenic…

    So J.C. Staff is basically admitting that they can’t mask the lack of a plot worth and damn and admit they can only do fanservice. Yeah, this series is nothing but Spiral all over again.

    Shana and her friend from Shakugan no Shana were possibly on the line for ice cream, if anybody missed it.

    I agree with lubczyk… It was pretty hollow. I mean, still a decent watch, but it doesn’t seem to be getting anywhere. And I so hate those ego-stroking shows, “oh I’m level 5 top of the school number 3 with over 9000 power”.

    Still, that “skinship” part in the baths was NICE. I’ll take that over pantyshots any days. I guess that explains the overwhelming number of screenshots in this review… you H…

    I was extremely skeptical, but decided to give the first episode a watch today. While I’m sure it won’t be a favorite of the season, I have to love Kuroko’s determination.

    “MAKE WAY FOR PRINCE BIRI!”

    Will we have another song re-do as with the great Prince Ali? Princess Biri, mighty is she, level 5 railgun…
