I hope the Director is just trolling us to give us a surprise over this "Original Summer Vacation" story.

[Chaos2Frozen]

...yeah when has that ever happened =_=

[AdmirerofSatenRuiko]

It's probably too late to restore what's been lost due to the entirely different atmosphere and character focus of the Sisters Arc, but I hope at least at the end I can get something I can wholeheartedly enjoy.

The director has stated that the final parts will be going back to the atmosphere of the original season.

Whether or not that is a good thing is highly debatable.

And pretty much there is:

If it has Shiage, I don't care what else it has.

If it has Styl I'm still happy

(it should have Harue anyway) If they have her as that one-time appearing character, that's a cop-out...

@Ilidsor: if Dvds sell well, there's always a season 3 to fix this

[Ihaxlikenoob]

Y'know, I'm wondering if J.C. Staff will keep how the clone's eyes were drawn in Railgun S.
Like will it carry over to Index season 3, or will their eyes go back to being drawn near-blank?

[Rising Dragon]

I don't care if they go back to the near blank look so long as they have Railgun S's eye coloration.

Pfft noobs- this is obviously the superior Imouto eyes design that they should keep to!

[zibi88]

its a railgun general thread so I wanted to ask if anyone can tell me what is the usuall time whne a manga chapter gets out in japan... I mena the usuall release (raw) time per month ?

last chapter was 60 so I was wondering when can we expect c61

[Rising Dragon]

IIRC, the manga just went on a hiatus, or something to that effect.

[zaeraal]

You should look in the Manga thread. http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=68018
But it comes out 27th of every month.
Hovewer it was on hiatus this month, so chapter 61 should come out July 27th

And pretty much there is:

What about Meigo Alisa? She appeared in that one shot special chapter.

Spoiler for Railgun music ending:

And she's doing the ending. And they've shown lots of Endymion

and the timing feels kind of right.

I think it's possible. Agree/disagree?

ANN reviews Episode 1-12 of Railgun S

It started out so well... Then it just lost its good start. This review is sorely lacking. I understand it did episodes 1-12... but episode 13... was kind of important because at least for me it clarified a lot of things...

This mid-way review should not have been done after episode 12... this is disappointing...

Also, they said the music was ok... that's ridiculous. This season has excellent music!

Also, they don't even talk about Accelerator. They obviously made a very shallow review (only dealing with the "main cast" ) and from the snarky remarks about

Spoiler for from the link above:

"over-crazed looking characters,"

this person reviewing obviously has no familiarity about any content from the light novels (which explains/justifies everything really...)

I guess its his opinion though hmmmph... (I'm still complaining it was done after episode 12) and gave a B/B+ ...

[Ilidsor]

Meh, I wouldn't pay too much attention to reviews if I were you. Personally I've never read an anime reviewer who likes the same things I do, and I've seen a lot who just plain out didn't understand the anime they were reviewing.

In fact I remember a review for Index 1 on that sight where the reviewer thought that the Hyouka arc was a through away arc. I mean even if you don't want to read the LN's at least watch season 2 before you make that kind of a judgment...

[darkchibi07]

Except why should the anime-viewer be required to "go the light novel" in order to fully experience it? The anime should be able to taken stand-alone, and that how that review reflects on.

I'm not saying reading the LNs is required to understand the story and you have to do it. I'm saying that it makes no sense to label an arc a throw away arc without any idea of what you are talking about. And as I said even the LNs aren't necessary for this as even watching the second season would have showed it was not.

Now how did you interpret that from what he said?

People generally don't mind criticism when it's fair, but when a reviewer makes a statement claiming a certain arc or character is a 'throw-away' when actually it isn't, it hurts their credibility in a huge way.

People are less likely to take ignorant people seriously, or just people who don't know what they're talking about.
