Pffft, finally, this episode... I'm liking what's happening so far, more cliffhangers for the next episode and that little foe yay between Saten and Konori along with Uiharu and Kuroko... hehehe...

That reaction to Mikoto's face... too much... *want next episode*

I'll post my thoughts when I see the understandable and readable version... :P

[cubicjack]

I think Uiharu is a bit overprotective towards Haruue, and the tension between Uiharu and Kuroko is a bit overdone.

[serenade_beta]

Uhoo! *takes out a camera*
As expected of Saten-san! Nice style! @Outfit this episode
*flash**flash*

The rest of the episode was fairly okay. Lots of Uiharu overreacting and being overprotective of Eri, and another appearance of the Pantsu robot. Not much plot movement here.
Mostly, the end was interesting... Very good way to end the episode. I already figured she was connected to that girl somehow, though.

Banri...? Banri-chan...? Ban... Ricchan?! That's why some people said she looked like Keion's Ritsu?!

[Minagi Mikoto]

Hm! Excellent episode 9/10!

Well, we found out that Haruee is a Child Error herself, her friend in her pendant is one too, so they're both students of Kiyama and Telestina tried to hide all of this. Yes, I'd guessed almost all of that before but now we're sure so it can count as a plot movement!

Hm! As expected from a friend!

By the way, why Kuroko is always that adorable when she's in the dorm with her oneesama?!

Afterall, wasn't Uiharu the one who defended Kiyama Harumi, the woman who kidnaped her before? XD.

[Seihai]

Big exposition like we're used to from Index, and also interesting.
Really looking forward to the next episode, enjoying this arc even without too much action.
Of course, some more biribiri-pewpew is always wanted though..

And I agree to Uiharu being overprotective, but I also find it kind of understandable.
It's like the first time she is actually protecting someone in that manner (besides being uberz at PCs to support) and not the protected / captured one this time, so she's gotta take some pride in that. But yeah, she still overreacted, oh well.

I know. I said the part before the end/last minutes didn't have much plot development. The last few minutes were full of it though.

[Seihai]

I was kinda amused by Kuroko and her curiousity about Haruue the entire time so the uneventful middle wasn't dragging me along at all, and yay for randomly trying to kiss Onee-sama without reason yet again!

[Roardel]

Uiharu overprotected Haruue because she found herself before joining Judgement on Haruue.
So Uiharu's overprotectin is very understandable.
Railgun is not only a sidestory of Index, but has own its plot. Cool.

[Seihai]

Btw. a pretty random question, but what are Uiharu and Haruue eating starting around 11:15~? It kinda looks yummy, or maybe it's just the adorable way they're chewing it that I'm interested. xD

Right, its a spin-off.

[ReddyRedWolf]

Ha! I was right! She is Harumi's student.

Sushi rolls.

[FlareKnight]

It's not a surprise that Uiharu is overprotective. She has spoken to the girl more than anyone and had Haruue opening up to her. Plus as was said she sees herself in the girl so wants to be there for her even more. Uiharu is biased in this, but it's somewhat understandable. On the other hand Kuroko hasn't interacted with her that much besides moving the stuff in. During that festival was more interested in Mikoto after all. So it's probably easier to get into investigative mode. Doesn't hurt that she is right.

Nothing we didn't already know though. Haruue is clearly connected to the outbreaks though not consciously starting them. The real problem is again clearly the MAR director and finally Haruue is connected to the girl (Banri) that we saw in the flashbacks. Most likely the director is triggering the poltergeist outbreaks or just knows about them and is taking in experimental data from the results. Pretty poor job of hiding it with trying to gloss over Kuroko's strong point about the profile stating Haruue's ability could jump under the right conditions.

[Haak]

My thoughts:

Spoiler for space:

Is it just me or was that lecturer wary of Kuroko?
Hypothesis: Lecturer = Bad Guy
Kiyama = Brought in to find the cause.

Well Kuroko and Misaka are certainly are genre savvy enough to recognize the coincidence of Erii in all this.

Lol. Kuroko forgot to call Konori. XD

AHAHAHA, Uiharu trying to row the boat. XD

Woah, Misaka the hacker. So why couldn't she fuck up the Accelarator experiment again?

Erii isn't trying to look for Kiyama, is she?

Woah Erii goes crazy and then quake time. If she really does turn out to be a red herring...

Tension between Shirai and Uiharu. It's good that they're using this opurtunity to flesh out Uiharu. And they're doing a good job of it too.

Lol. But they absoultely hate Kongo don't they?

so she's a red herring? No I can't believe they would reveal it so soon. No way.

She's looking for Kiyama's little K-On student!?!?
DUN DUN DUN!!!!

[Haak]

Woah, please no spoilers. I don't read the manga.

[germanturkey]

annoying Uiharu is annoying. wasn't really much of a shocker who was in the locket. wasn't it very briefly shown earlier somewhere?

Yep, it was in Episode 17 for those who were paying that much attention.
