Well Saten and Uiharu were in both of the Index OPs, so that isn't surprising. And I did call on Touma being in the Railgun OPs just so we can say he still appears every week.

And those hoping for an episode like the manga won't be disappointed,

Spoiler:

The little scene at the beginning of the OP where the characters are running across the open field.......was unnecessarily corny though.

And the OP animation didn't feel as "flowing" or good as the Index OPs at the beginning and ending parts of it.

Clarste · 2009-10-02, 18:56

It's not like Touma doesn't appear at all in this series, unlike Uihara and Saten from the Index opening. He's just a minor side character.

As for the opening, it wasn't bad, although the beginning was a little cheesy, as pointed out.

Nvis · 2009-10-02, 19:05

Well, if it makes it less corny, they weren't running on a field.

LOL... The vending machine scene at 22:57. And was it Takasu Ryuuji from Toradora in the cafe scene at 11:56, or was that Touma?

Great... Very excellent! Bravo~ Bravo~ Yahoo~
As expected of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. A hundred times more interesting than the original source. No incredibly annoying Touma lecture, no air heroine (what was her name...?), and the story is more interesting and easier to follow (not that anything has started yet).
As always, Kuroko's voice is.......(-_-)
But Ruiko and Kazari's voices are good.

It seems, from this episode and the preview, that they are basically following the manga while replacing some parts and maybe switching around a few plot-unrelated events?
I definitely don't remember the fight going the way it did in the anime... Both are interesting though.
Poor Ruiko though, getting a kick in the face in the anime... (´・ω・｀)

The OP is pretty nice. Though the spoilers... Will it end after the first arc?

And Yoshida.
Come to think of it, there was a Louise and Saito cameo during the school festival in Shana II too.

Lummie · 2009-10-02, 23:10

An awsome first episode, the animation/voice acting and even the OP. A great start for the adventures of Misaka Mikoto

it's a 10/10 for me.

Miraluka · 2009-10-02, 23:29

The girls running in the OP reminds me a lot Sora wo kakeru shoujo OP. I felt silly watching that scene

Kuroko, her voice is itchy, but she is the soul of Railgun

Rate: 8,5... I'll vote 9 cause soon will appear my favorite preaching character

There is a chance to get animated the next arc like they did after Psi-Missing op.

PD: I don't like yuri but when they have the comedy inside, I approve

Freeter · 2009-10-02, 23:34

MUCH better than the disappointment that was a certain annoying nun

Kuroko's yuri antics had me rolling, and Biribiri is far more entertaining to watch than that cocky idiot Touma.

Not to mention the whole show looks incredible in HD. Kampfer looks like Akikan compared to this

Can't wait for the Biribiri-tan extra with stalker Kuroko

Jerseykid · 2009-10-02, 23:43

These chracters without touma is sad

LoweGear · 2009-10-03, 00:17

I knew what awesomeness to expect from this episode since what I saw of the manga was similarly so, but the first full-blown railgun shot from Misaka this episode, complete with smooth animation and slow motion...

EPICALLY PERFECT

velderia · 2009-10-03, 00:20

7/10

It's a good start.

That boob-touching scene was weird, and yet, something I haven't seen before. -__-

I find it better than Index. Easier to the eyes, easier to understand too...

Clarste · 2009-10-03, 00:30

Index basically took this interesting and unusual "Academy City" setting with the psychics and the levels and everything and proceeded to ignore most of it in favor of constantly introducing random magical elements that deliberately could not be explained in a way that made sense compared to the rest of it. It's pretty easy to see why focusing on one side of the magic vs science story makes the story a whole lot more coherent.

You probably want to mean that Kuroko's actions and thoughts are epically perfect. Or would you rather be in Kuroko's place in the bath?

Uiharu is cute!!! Unyuuuuuu..........

FuzzyWuzzy · 2009-10-03, 00:40

I gave it a 5/10.
It's just not that good without a guy in the mix.

SaintessHeart NYAAAAHAAANNNNN~ Join Date: Nov 2007 Age: 35	Spoiler for ^counterspoiler: It could be Ryuuji because he doesn't respond to biribiri. But then again, at that time is probably before the original Toaru, and Ryuuji should be seen with Taiga, so it could be Touma. And Shana in the pic lol. Is it a ploy to buy more DVDs? KUROKO!!!!
