Finally, it's starting to feel like what Railgun should be again. I do think Haruue's personality kind of overlaps with Uiharu's personality, though. It would be better if she were a bit less.......moe and clumsy.

Avegaille · 2010-02-19, 13:23

This episode is the start of an even bigger action, can't wait...

Aside from seeing the girls in those outfits as well as Konori-senpai, well, I'll just have to wait for the translated version to get a better grasp at this episode...

Pfft, next episode preview is making me excited already. >D

Minagi Mikoto · 2010-02-19, 17:25

8/10! Very good episode!

This Haruee is the girl from episode 17 that had lost her pendant! And from that episode the earthquakes started! Interesting!

This Boss of MAR looks too suspicious too me! Are the big bosses finally showing up?!

That girls looked very good in yukata! Especially Saten! And Kuroko was mad at her oneesama for wearing shorts even with yukata!

Roardel · 2010-02-19, 18:27

The Poltergeist arc is starting. Who makes this Poltergeist causes landslide? Whom was Haruue looking for? Very good episode.
Uiharu and Haruue in Yukata are very cute. They looked like sisters.

serenade_beta · 2010-02-19, 20:05

Nano! Nanonanonano!
.......................
Douiukoto... nano...? (=What is this?)
The new girl would actually be cute if it wasn't for the fact she has a speaking pattern that almost is as annoying as "JYAN" "JYAN" "JYAN".

But it was a nice episode, for the most part. Yukata appearance, FTW!
Ruiko-nee-chan,

<--Ruiko part is, of course, most important

...Though... That it one heck of a lame robot design. Reminds me greatly of Tomoki's pantsu robot...

Marcus H. · 2010-02-19, 21:41

Is Haruee and Erii Harukami the same person? o.o

Miraluka · 2010-02-19, 23:02

Good episode for this week....

woah.... Serenade.... thats the legendary G-molester!.

Bonta Kun · 2010-02-19, 23:45

Aww I'm disappointed, I love yukatas cause for the most part the girls tend to have their hair in a different style than usual but only person here was Rukio, and I really wanted to see Kuroko-sama with a different hair style

but then I guess I can let that slide since theres that little scene at the end "The Undressing Woman"!

Shinji103 · 2010-02-19, 23:48

Nice to see stuff happening again, although it's certainly not jumping back into the fray. But that's not a bad thing.

Yukatas aren't bad either, but I'm neither for nor against yukatas in general, not just in this episode, so "meh."

Except we could really do without the basic Uiharu Clone.

8/10

Year, the same person. Exactly, her name is “春上衿衣”. “上” is called “ue”, as well as “kami”. So they call “春上さん” as “Haruue-san”.

KholdStare · 2010-02-20, 02:23

That as very...uneventful, but nice.

6/10

Nya~n · 2010-02-20, 02:51

The way things played out, I'd assume that Haruue used to be one of Kiyama's students? The way she clutched the pendant, sceneskip to Kiyama and then another sceneskip to Telestina with a knowing smirk seems to suggest that. I'm also taking into consideration how Kiyama's old project was on berserk abilities and AIM stimulation, so there's a possiblity that the results of that is what's interfering with the AIM Dispersion Fields to produce the RPSK Effect. Of course, pure speculation here, but that's the only theory I can think of.

germanturkey · 2010-02-20, 03:00

good episode. quite obvious she lost her best friend. this may or may not be causing instability when she's close to the person who licks the pill in the op.

Syntron · 2010-02-20, 03:21

Am i the only one who actually likes the new girl? Okay she is on the moe side, but as a roommate she's perfect for Uiharu. And did any1 notice how Saten did not want to flip her skirt? This seems to be a special move only for Uiharu ^^

9/10

You actually notice the details

I didn't hate the girl but she seems a bit suspicious. Maybe she is something like Kazkiri Hyoka from Index.

Certainly there is connection between RPSK effect and AIM Dispersion field and that means another connection between Railgun and Index!

lol, I was expecting something badass from that scene. I mean, the bot was cool and all, but the paint totally ruins it.

A slow start, and it seems like this one is following the similar pattern with the level upper arc. Still, I'm expecting some kind of plot twist here.

I guess the Poltergeist arc will lead us to the climax of this series.
