Bring it down Biribiri.
It’s been a while since my last Railgun post, most of it was because I was trying to over come my disappointment with Kuroko over her un-lady like behavior in 13 and dismay that Mii was in love with a dude… The BIG FIGHT with the hyper ugly baby thing was satisfying enough though through the course of these episodes Biribiri’s limited understanding of others and her unwavering sense of justice has come out in full force. The fight it self was pretty good with Biribiri’s close combat skills shining through, heavily reliant on her powers though it may be. With the arrival of the candy lady I guess we are getting hints of something bigger at work once again. I am more sympathetic to Biribiri’s never give up attitude, but having been enlisted for over five years now I don’t think kicking quitters to the curb is the proper solution. For every broken person there is always a way to rebuild them though scrapping them for spares is not yet ethical…
The obligatory swimsuit episode was well…rather disappointing. In my humble opinion swimsuits ought to be stylish and fit for a lady sadly Mii’s was rather small, which they made much effort to point it out. Still Kuroko was the worst offender of them all, thankfully after a while the initial nausea wore off. It seems that Kuroko had yet to learn the importance of style form Alphard and Liang Qi who must have been greatly disappointed at how Kuroko showed more than she needed to and lacked the fashion sense to go with something more appropriate. I for one think Kuroko should have gone with the one her onee-sama had her eyes on. Maybe then Biribiri would have given Kuroko a bit more notice… I suppose the lesson is that you don’t have to show that much skin to look good. The only highlight was how Kongo-san dug herself a deep hole while Kuroko was gleefully grinning in the background. Judging by the sound advice they were trying to give on swimwear I guess the Railgun team has had first hand experience with swim suit FAIL.
Saten’s special lesson actually brought a better conclusion to the level upper arc, and it was rather fun to see the collection of level upper offenders in one place though I thought that the dark haired invisible girl didn’t listen to bad music. I wonder if Ane-go is going to be a recurring character, she was fairly amusing even if she got owned by Anti-skill CQC. I was hoping that Saten’s yuri stalker friend would make bold decisive moves but I suppose not. I guess Saten only has Uiharu in her heart when it comes to this and that… Yomikawa’s push it to the limit trick was pretty much ripped out of every Drill Instructor routine I have seen though with a lot less yelling and fake cursing. Hopefully one day Saten’s hard work will pay off, but I can sympathize with hitting a wall well sort of. The only thing that gets me frustrated long term is video games though after having yelled at many a system I have learned to put it down for the day instead of trying to fight my way through it and getting more frustrated. I don’t agree with giving up but do advocate a disengage and reassess approach.
The next serious arc after the level upper incident was a minor foray into Mii territory about her gangsta days, I have to say it was as inoffensive as can be though most biker gangs or rather biker clubs I have seen are made up of older folks that don’t fit the popular stereotype as hard drinking troublemakers. I could not help but laugh a little that Kurozuma had almost he same haircut as Zartan from the old GI Joe cartoons who incidentally also rode around with a biker gang. It was nice to see a little history on Mii though I don’t really approve of how they make a point to mention how well endowed she is. My respect for a slipped a bit when she lost her sense of duty and reverted back to her old loyalties though I guess love makes an idiot out of her as well. Iwas looking forward to seeing Biribiri and Kuroko trash those thugs but I guess guess Kurozuma and Mii deserved to have a fight as a couple though I did enjoy watching fists fly and faces getting smashed in interesting ways. Mii’s CQC may not be as powerful as Kuroko’s but it is reassuring that she has some combat capability since her first outing when Kuroko was a little loli was unimpressive. As for promoting a Certain Brand of Milk I wish they would have gone wild promoting fake products. The Capacity Down should have had more bass but I guess it couldn’t be ghetto FABULOUS and be a ECM device at the same time. I guess with the increase in illegal weapons and common thugs having uncommon weapons that we’ll be going into another arc that goes into the dark side of Academy City. At any rate Mii’s roommate totally needs jump Mii and bring her back to the yuri side doing this and that.
Mama…
Just making sure you’re not from Black Water or Executive Outcomes…
Judge her by her size do you…?
She sucks with kids…
That is a weird camo pattern…
IN A NURSE OUTFIT RIGHT?!
We missed that you.
Feelings…
Just like an overgrown kid, not that there is anything wrong with that.
We have no need for Spiky-kun to induce blushing.
Well I think Kuroko earned it.
If only…
So you did get Liang Qi’s guile.
All you had to do was agree in the first place.
Victory.
We must see this and that animated at some point…
FUCK YEAH PHOTOSHOP.
One day Kuroko will grow into full womanhood like Liang Qi and Alphard…hopefully there will be a time skip to see the results.
…
Some people just never grow up.
Well don’t be in hurry to grow up now, your not there yet…
Well that is Stylish Saten for you.
Kuroko, Kuroko, Kuroko, it’s not how much you who but how you show it…
Good looking our Uiharu we must not let this Yuri Party be ruined by a male presence…
I trust that it is at least SPF 30.
Pretty much captures the spirit of the series.
Some how I don;t get the sense that Kuroko is really resisting.
Look who’s talking…
The Droid invasion has begun, Google equipped and only on Verizon…
I see we have three adherents to the cult of Mac.
Now go bash something.
Seems Kuroko has a good grasp on her would be rival.
Rich bastards…
Think of it this way you are by far the best looking microwave to come a long in a long time…
I see some one likes their soup CAMPBELL’S CHUNKY.
I suppose Biribiri’s problem is one of concentration and not of power…
The feeling isn’t exactly mutual…
To memories.
Well that is one way of broadcasting your weakness.
If only Kuroko could see this…
Your thoughts betray you onee-sama…
So long as you give Kuroko something in return…
Yeah your crew looks shitty.
Good to know that these girls don’t like boys.
Lolis are evil…
By the way does she get a happy ending when the massage is done?
Ah it’s Saten’s yuri stalker.
Your logic is impeccable.
Well it’s not legally torture…
He runs on Energizer.
This is some dance class…
Do you plan on doing this and that to Saten-san by chance?
Motherfuckers hating on yuri again.
Indeed…
Having been raised by Alphard and Liang Qi, Kuroko knows a thing or too about villainy.
Kuroko’s happiest day yet.
You didn’t have to milk the bull you know…
Ah yes shameless product placement.
I share Kuroko’s dismay.
Because LOVE WILL NEVER DIE!
I suggest renaming your home…
You know surprise does hinge on the minimum of people knowing about it…
So let Kuroko protect the feeling of love in onee-sama’s heart.
Biribiri can get quite frisky when she is in the mood.
Unlike her parents Kuroko actually gives people a chance to surrender.
Also your purple van was ugly.
Big Spider meet the new Snakes…
Why can’t TSA agents be that pretty…
Sure what ever you say.
Silly suicide bomber your trigger is most lacking…
Damn you heterosexuality!
Let’s share this special milk that Kuroko bought…

I actually liked the swimsuit episode, and I don’t think it would’ve fit Kuroko’s personality if she wore a non-skimpy swimsuit. I also found the product placement to be funny at first, but not necessary.
I expected a little more sophistication on Kuroko’s part, considering her views on undergarments…
The 2001: Space Odyssey reference in the swimsuit episode were hilarious. I couldn’t stop laughing at both the monolith and their reaction to it:

The perfect combination of epicness, humor, and bikinis — pure win! I love these type of scenes in shows i watch; makes it all that more meta.
It would have been complete had they inserted “I’s sorry Dave, bit I cannot do that”…or have Kuroko Bash something.
Hmm… the swimsuit episode, was just okay I guess. Turned off a bit by the character development of Mitsuko, nothing in the series has really made me care about that character. Maybe later in the series I’ll come to like Mitsuko, and then the swimsuit episode would be more enjoyable.
I don’t know why they put the make-up class episode after the swimsuit one. In my mind the series would have flowed better if those two episodes flipped. I blame the 13 episode series mentality.
And go Mii! Don’t turn to the dark side!
It probably would have lowed better or perhaps it was because the team took a holiday. At any rate it seems that Mitsuko is going to start polluting the minds of the swim team with utter nonsense. We can only hope one that one day Kuroko will give Mitsuko a talking to.
The swimsuit episode was, indeed, epic. And I really like Saten’s character development over the past few episodes.
So that’s a real-life brand of milk? Wow. That’s maybe the most blatant product placement I’ve seen since Lelouch.
Heterosexuality FTW, thank you very much!
I doubt that it is a real brand of milk, oddly enough Musashino is where Maria-sama ga Miteru is set, perhaps that was the subtle in joke…
YURI WILL PREVAIL!
At the Animesuki forum they started calling Kurozuma the Stripper Lord. Mii no longer the Pettanko Kurozuma remembers. If Touma is Mr. Amnesia , Kurozuma is Rip Van Winkle. The guy was in the coma.
Also LOL at Mii thanking Kurozuma at the preview for teaching her “this and that” and the joy of being a woman.
They should just call him Hosaka II since Hosaka has been stripping in public for three seasons…
In order to redeem Mii, her room mate must do this and that to Mii three times over.
Fuck yeah heterosexuality!
Needs moar Touma.
The swinsuit filler episode was enjoyable, so I have high hopes for this series! By the way, most yuri series have one hetero, so I think you should just let it slide. But alas! What an impossible request!LOL
hmmm hmm well it’s nice it goes on but somthing like plot would not be bad , but I don’t complain just wanna see more lvl 5 esperes… ><
i love this anime…. is so coool
To Aru Kagaku no Railgun really rocks, but watching only one per week is always kinda sad, but well its one of the best 20 minutes of the week.
I love the swimsuit filler episode!
swimsuit is the best
i like this anime
it`s so cute and cool
i love the swimsuit its amazing!
thumbs up with this anime. its cute..
Hiyas!
I tried watching this anime because I heard the theme song and loved it. It seemed really cool until it went all Yuri, and I don’t really like yuri. Oh well!
Yume-Chan
This anime reminds me of Alice Academy (Gakuen Academy) where they learn on how to both control and enhance their powers to make the world a better world. There was one picture here of a character which reminds me so much of Hikari Hanazono from Special A. Really love watching anime.
why are you so S*TY NEGATIVE! Crusader!
This is a great manga/anime and its awsoume!
it maby take some time for Misaka to say the “I Lov…” to Touma, everyone has wekneses -_-
go away if you are so “disappointment” go and do a own manga if you can.
In the end you are a PERV! if you whant somting like that I recomend
“Rosario+Vampire” its a great anime too.
I am still hoping for Index sesion 3 and railgun sesion 2
do anyone have som information? plz tell me
(My englis is bad I know)
Is this anime worth watching
ademas alguien puede decirme como lo encuentro sub esp?
I want to see more of Misaka cmon season 2!
A mysterious message coming from nowhere…
