Spoiler for Ep 12 Raw:

Ep 12 in brief

Okay that thing… is nightmare fuel. Mikoto is cool in action. Power station in danger. Without it they can’t distribute the cure.

Aww Kuroko worried wants to go into the field of battle but sempai stops her.

Uiharu joins with the remaining Anti-Skills to distribute the cure. Cure is distributed via speaker system.

Kita! Densetsu no ITEM!

Artificial Angel down but not quite.

Mikoto hear the thoughts of those in the network. Tells them to do their best and shoots the Imaginary Number thingy to pieces. (Ref: To Aru Majutsu no Index last episode arc)

Kuroko arrives and takes advantage of the electrically exhausted Mikoto.

Saten awake and is greeted by Uiharu. Flips Uiharu’s skirt.

Kuroko wants to kiss Mikoto for her good deeds. Mikoto gives her divine punishment for earlier.

OP song in English?!

[shitashii]

it was an awesome episode. can't wait for next week. also the ED song is Smile - You& Me - By ELISA

[Avegaille]

@ ReddyRedWolf: You mean ED song. It's ELISA's other song "Smile -You & Me-" from the same album where Dear My Friend is... XD

Anyways, episode 12... omg, the tension, and some explanations to Uiharu suddenly having no handcuffs, thank goodness... XD

Scary monster, yep yep... some scenes changes, but at least they kept the important parts.

But yeah, overall, it was awesome, I'm glad they changed the ED song to match with the mood of the ending of the arc... yeah, it is English... xD;;

[RPG_Fanatic]

That was good episode, and closed the arc well.

Spoiler for Episode 12 spoilers:

The battle scene were well done, but I'm sad they cut out the before and after scenes of the level upper espers. I wanted to see 'Amazing Punch' animated.

The Level Upper voices that appeared once the cure was administered freaked me out when I first heard it.

I like how they added some scientists towards the end, foreshadowing the creation of Hyōka Kazakiri.

They also cut out the foreshadowing of the Sister Arc. Hint that it will not be animated this season.

I don't even want to know what Kuroko did to Misaka while see was weak.

Next episode, the obligatory swimsuit episode.

Also, they explained the missing handcuff from that disappeared during the last episode, so we can't complain about that anymore.

[General_Asakura]

wut? is it over?! i wants moar railgun!! >.<

Awesome episode is awesome. I vaguely remembered the fight between the fetus and Misaka in the manga, so everything was fresh and delicious to me. Loved the BGM played at 11:00 makes you pumped up, and those two anti-skills (Yomikawa and...forgot the other girl's name) with the big-badass shield just made the scene even better.

yeah, a bit disappointed about that. My expectation on that arc getting animated just got lower. On that note, I was glad to see the short cameo appearance of ITEM.

This one deserves a 10 (though I preferred the rooftop scene in the manga than the anime; god that was funny )

Oops, I meant to say Arc, I'll fix my post.

[Miraluka]

... Who is that girl with glasess?
Why "Amazing puch guy" was skipped?
What happened with the reference to the sisters arc?.
Why I felt weird(or anticlimatic) the OP as a insert song?(I started to facepalm when the sog started =_=
Putting aside the fight in the episode...well... still was enjoyable, though.

[tsunade666]

wilri putting that all aside plus the battle scenes I got to see the ITEM ><.

Railgun is finally complete. I'm happy and contented. That's enough for perfect 10 score.

Despite some stupid errors all's well and ends well.

ITEM ITEM ITEM ITEM!!!!!

Yeah but only showing them is not enough I also wanted to her them .

[yozaku]

good eps, i personally think this better than its manga

[Miyuki-ism]

Epic episode was epic.

Really enjoyed to see Misaka in full battle action.

[DJ Trouble]

There was no tension in that fight. I wasn't excited about it at all.

The best parts of the ep were definitely Kiyama's cleavage when she was leaning against the pillar, the sounds of Kuroko kissing a weakened Mikoto, and the skirt flip.

[MrTerrorist]

Spoiler for ep12:

That was a satisfying fight between Mikoto and "Ye Child of Guts & Casca".

The ending was very heartwarming especially the ED song used.

Yeah, Team ITEM finally appears.
But i'm surprise those Mech suits from the novels appeared that early.

[tsunade666]

I like the tentacle parts.

[Serpit]

To all the people doubting that the Sisters arc will be animated - What the hell else do you propose could take its place? Especially since they already showed ITEM.

[serenade_beta]

Oh, thread finally created.


Good ending to the arc. Some anime original stuff were pretty good too, like the tentacle attack and inner thoughts of the victims of the Level Upper. Animation was also pretty good.
Though kind of weak/lacking tension for a boss... Well, it was just a monster.

As always, the Anti-Skill are useless.

Is it just me, or did Mikoto say "i... ku" when she got hit by the tentacles...

And Saten is finally baaaaaaaack!!


...
And preview...
Seems the staff understands what they are doing, instantly bringing up a swimsuit episode. Do it some more, more!
And so, Toaru Majutsu no Railgun turned into the 2nd Zero no Tsukaima, The End.

Tsk tsk. Oh you!

Battle was... pretty bland and flat. only my railgun didn't help at all either.

Next ep - beach episode. Am I the only one anticipating Mitsuko in her swimsuit?

[matrigs]

did anyone notice the use of a certain sound from the game "starcraft" in this episode ? i'm curious if that's completely legal.
