again with the earthquakes maybe it'll have something to with the next arc or something

DJ Trouble · 2010-02-06, 07:22

Saw (most of) the ending coming from a mile away. I'm glad it wasn't played for laughs. This was a very enjoyable episode.

I think Kuroko doesn't teleport inside of her room because using powers inside the dorms is prohibited. If she doesn't physically go into her room, and yet appears there, then she'll be punished for using her powers instead of being late. A better question is why can't she learn to be on time? You'd think a level 4 would have a little more discipline. Maybe that's why she's not a level 5 . . .

-Sho- · 2010-02-06, 08:17

This episode was quite hilarious .

Now it's Dormitory Supervisor's turn .

4:30 did i saw child carrying the pizzas specially the lil girl ? lol?

What a coincidence to meet Saten and Uiharu yeah ..

Well , the Supervisor was moe no?

But the end killed all .............

Seriously wtf ...

Next episode : Maid Powaaaaa ! So , they decided to cosplay Misaka and Cie for this show .

Kuroko was damn lucky Dorm Manager didn't catch her with Touma. I'm sure there would've have been a misunderstanding. Plus the fact she couldn't get a man Dorm Manager would've been ticked off for Kuroko bringing a guy over.

Daisu · 2010-02-06, 10:22

Kuroko so violent to Uiharu

I liked this episode over the last one.

Roardel · 2010-02-06, 11:19

No powers entire episode. Still it's enjoyable.
I think because the scenario is well made.

Why do you suppose Uiharu said she would have revenge and do this and that for her suffering if Level Upper was true?

RedWing · 2010-02-06, 14:54

This was beyond boring. Does this show want to annoy its viewers? First few eps, rubbish then it gets better so they then decide to put it back to the trash.

Haak · 2010-02-06, 15:05

How much more of this crap do we have to put up with? -_-'

Raiga · 2010-02-06, 15:12

I dunno, I liked it. I mean, I will be disappointed if there's no big story arc to wrap up the series, especially considering all the foreshadowing, but I don't mind the character antics in the meantime. Plus, this episode made me laugh quite a lot. Poor dorm supervisor...

Because her and Mikoto's room is too far inside the building for her range. She has to be inside the lobby at the lift doors before she is close enough.

Evidence is the Dorm Mistress knows this and lies in wait when she knows Kuroko has skipped curfew.

In the Manga and novels, she's always had a reasonably good reason, Visiting Saten in hospital after the Level Upper fight and Judgement paperwork mostly.

Marcus H. · 2010-02-06, 20:02

I feel kinda sad for the (yet unnamed unfortunately) dormitory manager for being a bridge for the love affair between her colleague Daigo-sensei and Kazuko-san. It hurts a lot when you don't know that you're helping the one you like propose to someone else, isn't it?

I'll give this a 10/10, and KHoldStare certainly posted my point of view regarding these so-called fillers.

BTW, has anyone noticed that Daigo-sensei looks like Yuusaku Kitamura and the dormitory manager has a similar hairstyle with Sumire Kanou? (both are from Toradora! btw)

AlitY · 2010-02-06, 20:29

Pretty average episode nothing special but I enjoyed it none the less it's quite refreshing to se the girls up to more carefree adventures between arcs. Next episode looks good though or at least pleasing to the eyes with kuroko in a maid outfit.

AlaAlba · 2010-02-06, 21:33

the question is... to drop or not to drop this show.

seriously, no more of these useless episodes please GJ. next is no better I guess >_>

Spectacular_Insanity · 2010-02-07, 01:17

Wow... Placement advertising much?

But more on subject, good episode. However, I wish a real storyline would emerge once again....

7/10

DarknessLord · 2010-02-07, 01:25

Ugh, I don't mind filler but, I spent the whole time thinking that this was a waste of an episode, there had to be something more interesting to do then the dorm supervisor in a run of the mill, "I'm actually kinda nice when I think the guy is in love with me but he is really in love with someone else" plot.
Pizza Hut was the best part of the episode, at least it made me laugh, Misaka playing with the kids was cute too if not lacking in animation quality.

velvet nightmare · 2010-02-07, 02:22

the episode was a bit too cookie cutter for my tastes, but hey, we get to see another side of the dorm manager

what other characters are left to explore? so far we have konori, the 2 anti skill teachers, dorm supervisor.

Eater of All · 2010-02-07, 02:36

Pretty decent episode, better than the last at any rate. It's better to just enjoy these fillers as is (which'll allow the final arc to tie the myriad of hints back together like Level Upper did) rather than expect plot-heavy episodes and get disappointed everytime. J.C. Staff probably only have resources for one more intense arc, and it most definitely won't be starting this soon.

You know, now that I think about it, this whole Railgun season seems to revolve around the Child Errors. They were the cause for the Level Upper, and presumably they'll also play a central role in the next arc too. I wonder if the CEs were expanded on in the novels this much.

Marcus H. · 2010-02-07, 02:40

My guess would be that next episode will be a meido fanservice episode + some bits and pieces of foreshadowing. Then, we might get to the following details:

> District 10 Academies (from Zassou Academy in Episode 17)
> The cause of the tremors (from 17 and 18)
> Connections with Harumi-sensei and Child Errors
> "Misplaced technology" (from Episodes 15-16)
> The Margery Daw look-alike (from Episode 12)

Now, who says these fillers are useless?

Minagi Mikoto · 2010-02-07, 03:11

Actually I like this episode very much. Don't forget that Railgun is a side story for Index series, so character development is the best thing. I liked the dorm supervisor very much and I felt pity for her at the end. What can I say about that teacher?!
"What do you think about someone like me marrying someone older than himself?"
What this sentence can probably mean?!
Overall 8/10!
