It's comin closer, I wonder how they will handle the change of mood....

[ACertainStark]

Going to be weird, but I'll watch since I have nothing else to do on the weekend and for any random surprises.

[Ihaxlikenoob]

Let's see if this filler will keep me interested.

[Arararagi-Senpai]

I'm looking forward to this one. For one, Frenda is in it, secondly, it's gonna be nice to have a cooldown episode after all of the SERIOUS BUSINESS.

[hamazura]

huh? im sure i saw someone post that they will air 1/3 part of endymon movie instead :X

[Chaos2Frozen]

That's next week.

[Marina2]

Frenda in preview is enough to interest me. Let's hope that other members will appear too!

ITEM SOL FTW!

Also, will we get new OP in this ep?

I hope so- that was the case for every other Raildex season.

I want to see the opening kind of badly actually. I can't wait to hear eternal reality. The PV sounded really good. I hope I like it even more than Sister's noise. I wonder what we'll see of Frenda this episode...

[hamazura]

there will be mugino

[Shinhwa]

Frenda is your Frienda!!!

Looking forward to the cookie making part more though x)

[dniv]

Episode was interesting... Subtitles should make it better.

The opening was pretty amazing. It had Touma in it! I liked the music.

The ending music was ok. It got better near the end.

It looks like a dark arc, I'm surprised.

PV was nice.

I'm happy about that scene with Frenda/Kuroko.

Spoiler for comparison to manga:

it was even better than the special one shot image of their argument that they had in the manga

The scene with ITEM was absolutely hilarious.

The episode was ok, but the opening is making me hopeful.

ITEM made it 11/10 though...

I will say that without subtitles, pretty much the only part of the episode I actually liked was the part with ITEM, well that and the amazing opening.

That's for next week, dude.

Which this week's preview for next episode has kindly notified us and the rest of the world about it.

... And sadly enough, only the one scene in the preview made this week's episode any level of agreeable with me.

[zaeraal]

A bit mixed feeling from the episode.

The new OP was interesting, we probably get Kongou and her friends in this arc too.
The new blonde girl (Febli) looked cute, hopefully her story will be interesting.
But I am curious how at this pace they plan to finish this arc in 6 episodes.

The ED was ok, about average, not exactly super good, not exactly super bad.
Similar to the previous EDs Railgun had, so I am fine with it.

As for the episode itself:
The "Cooking with Saten" was as great as I hoped for.
The Frenda vs Kuroko confrontation was epic.
The "Study Group" didn't studied at all, like I expected
Uiharu part with Konori mentionig "Gatekeeper" was interesting, but will have to wait for subtitles.

The episode felt a bit slow at some places, but the variety of characters saved it.

The preview showed the Movie.. sigh, I wanted the episode 18 preview.

[Haru-kun]

Looks like Harue and Uiharu are hiding something, notice Uiharu hesitating whenever the group asked about where Harure was?

[dniv]

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that ITEM was also in the opening as well as Touma. I am rather pleased. The opening just looks so amazing... Hope the rest of the season doesn't disappoint.

[Darkmousy0198]

I saw Shinobu in the Op, guess that means her story isnt over yet after all.

[SibylEnd]

The ED was ok, about average, not exactly super good, not exactly super bad.
Similar to the previous EDs Railgun had, so I am fine with it.

are you kinuhata?

[ACertainStark]

Sounds like the episode wasn't so hot without ITEM, lol.
