I imagined it only happened when she was using her powers in a certain way.... *looks at episode 1 of this season* I guess I imagined wrong. The one she was sitting on there was rotating opposite the others in the scene.

I will admit that I was disappointed because I want to get to the meat of the story. However, I am happy about several things: 1: If you are going to slow down and have an episode about the rest of the cast, then this was correct point in the story to do it. It wouldn't work in a movie, but it can work in a tv series. 2: This means we just had a lot of time spent on the other 3 girls so there won't be the pressure to inappropriately splice them in during the more intense parts of the next few episodes. This decision demonstrates that the production team is trying to handle the several different audiences, and they are doing better then expected. 3: This was the perfect atmosphere for the slow down episode. It's not happy or silly slice of life. It was pensive, wistful, and a gentle melancholy. Perfect way of showing how Mikoto's suffering is impacting her friends no matter how much she tries to shield them. If you're goal is to just tell the Sister's Arc story... not a great episode, but not terrible either. If you are trying to tell the story of four friends, while focusing this time on Mikoto... then this was well done. I'll give it a 7 out of 10, which is slightly low, but I'm biased in favor of moving on with the story. Also, was that a Chrono Crusade reference from Saten? Salvation comes to those that believe? Or was that just a reference to something Index says?

I'm an Index-watcher, though not a Manga-reader, but I have knowledge of what's coming, and I'm loving every minute of what we are getting. As long as it doesn't do something to contradict the original source completely, I'm fine with whatever they give us. There's still plenty of episodes to go, so expanding on the other characters, who have always had more prominence in the Anime anyway, is far from a big deal. Especially after the many Misaka focused episodes we've just had.
And with the turbines thing, I assume it's probably her electricity finding it's way back in to the system (those lab machines must be plugged in somewhere) that flows all the way back into the turbines and causes them to spin the other way. |

It doesn't make sense for her to be attacking alone, when she has a roommate who would gladly (and usefully) assist her.
The advantages of using a teleport over just hacking or burning out the locks, seem obvious. I suppose the combination of a locked room with an unexplained fire of an electrical character would be even more suggestive, but they ought to be able to come up with something better by pooling their skills.

EDIT: Also just mentioning, Mikoto did say something along the lines of "Uiharu-san could have probably kept up the hacking for much longer", acknowledging that she does recognise how helpful her friends could be if she DID actually ask for help.

Not to mention that as one of only 7 level 5s in the city she has a level of fame that protects her to some extent against retaliation. Kuroko has much less protection from being retaliated against.

Accelerator's involvement makes the Level 6 Shift project far, FAR too dangerous to justify involving her friends. She can't risk them coming into conflict with him. Not to mention the potential official displeasure from whoever is responsible for the project. She already has something of a reputation as a vigilante, and they're using her clones in the project, so it makes sense on multiple levels for her to get involved and oppose them. They would have reason to expect that, and might not necessarily retaliate beyond whatever force they consider justified for defending the project. But her friends' situations are an entirely different story. Their involvement could actually attract more official attention, because they don't have Mikoto's justifiable reasons to be hindering the project. They would likely attract a lot more detailed scrutiny from the higher-ups responsible for the project, and the possibility that someone might decide to have them killed in retaliation is much higher.

When all this is done, I suppose someone ambitious will probably re-edit the content to condense it down into an action-packed movie, and that will no doubt appeal to people who keep wanting the story to move forward. But I also appreciate what they're doing here. They have extra time and they're using it, in my opinion, pretty well. I don't think Railgun was ever trying to strictly be an "action show".

(That aside, I again lament the horrible misuse of "Slice of Life" as if it has anything to do with this content. ) Edit: Also, let me just say for the record that it's not that I don't get why people don't enjoy this content or change of pace. I just think its purpose/intention is being somewhat misrepresented.

Too much filler this episode. This was like a fanservice episode for Kuroko/Saten/Uiharu fans, which has always been my problem with Railgun. Can't wait for ITEM next week though, that's going to kick ass.

Personally I found this episode quite enjoyable, if you cast aside all the future material from the manga. Though I have to admit having that much slice of life just right after such a tensed episode like episode 6 is quite a downer, and that part when they went out searching for a 4 leaf clover is sooooo cliché...
7/10 for this week, should have been 8 if I hadn't watched episode 6. |
