On 4chan there is a link to the site where it is streamed for those that do not live in Japan.
Not sure if a stream site can be posted here, in rules it is not mentioned.

it was a good episode they are doing it right with the adaption so far the pacing is good too i want episode 3 now!

[zaeraal]

It was a good episode, though on a bit slower pace than the last one.

Saten's "sniffing" sound was hilarious , sadly they didn't showed how many cards did she found.
When I read the manga and saw that panel, I thought she had whole skirt made by those envelopes , ( later noticed they just had similar design as the skirt. )

Nunotaba scaring the hell out of those thugs was nice too, but probably will have to wait for subtitles to fully enjoy it.

ED was decent, but could have been better.

[II Maestro]

Saten sure has a good nose to find those cards, It was funny seeing Saten crawling & sniffing on the ground.

[Marina2]

J.C. staff did a good job with this ep. you can really feel the difference in ep's atmostsphere comparing to the first ep.

15.29-21.30 part is awesome.

[Birdway]

Good bye fish eyes, I will miss you.

She looks better without the fish eyes. The fish eyes are creepy looking.

[Yye1]

Wow, that chick(i forget her name) is much less creepy than in the manga.

Isn't she meant to be creepy?

[serenade_beta]

They say Saten-san doesn't have any ability, but these two episodes clearly beg to differ. She can smell out money.

Shinobu looked far creepier in the manga, but being a bishoujo anime, she gets transformed into a normal, cute anime girl! To aru Kagaku no Railgun S... What a fearsome foe!

Index singing the ED... And not really that great of a song either!

Then you see her naked in the OVA and you ask this question again.

You're missing the point. She's not supposed to look good.
