... Looks like "Jealousy Of Shirai Kuroko" is becoming of something I'd love thinking deep upon.
Especially when it involves a certain Level 0 Esper named Kamijou Touma. Just to what extent does she... uh, admire her senior, Misaka Mikoto? And just to what extent can she keep this "jealousy" in check? Of course, she knows Mikoto's best interests at heart but I think there's more personal stuff she needs to know of herself.

the word jealousy fits her surprisingly well. :P twin-tails, sexy underwear and yuri preferences makes her one of my favorite characters.
I didn't quite like her voice at first, but it has been growing on me (together with her character); plus her antics are something you can't help but enjoy. somehow I've seen myself rooting for her evil plans to succeed, even if you unconsciously know that it's not going to go very smoothly---she needs to try harder! :P. |

Though there was potential for hijinks when she allowed Touma in their dorm room. One boy, one girl in a girls dorm. Kuroko made it out with her life on that one. She was like... Why wont my powers work?! Its fascinating that Touma can't raise Kuruko's flags. |

Best thread ever.
I found myself to like her more and more everytime I watch Railgun. Eventually I found out that the reason is because of her jealousy (= humor). Therefore, this is the best thread ever.

I think Kuroko is most interesting when she isn't super-over-exagerated obsessively jealous about Misaka. Whenever she's most 'funny' in the anime, she's the most boring and stale, or at least cliche and not amusing. Like McMilk's user image at the moment: not amusing at all, in the same way that anime fanservice is hardly erotic.
On the other hand, subtle jealousy/obsession is more amusing in its own right, and highlights Kuroko's immaturity; like when Touma learns that she sleeps in Misaka's bed in secret. Her overall, non-exagerated, jealousy is an interesting character diminsion, especially in regards to her age as Misaka's junior (when Misaka herself is still pretty young and not developed). I wouldn't have much good to say about Kuroko in general (her never having a great point in Index anime), except that I read the chapter of Railgun where she's forced to fight another esper, and has a hard time of it. I saw some things I respected in that: dedication, responsibility, thoughtfulness, and selflessness. Many of the same things, ironically, that Misaka admires in Touma. Kuroko is young, and immature. Probably too immature to really appreciate what Misaka means to her in anything but a childish way. And it's that part of her that's the most repulsive. But if, when, she matures and grows up mentally, she'll be a fine psychic, and might stand an honest chance in her own right. |

Kuroko is a good character when JCStaff don't make exagerate her obsession with her onee-sama. About the novels, I'm really waiting for her time to shine like the main character in Vol.8 fighting the other teleporter girl . |

beats me. I like both. The exaggerating part and the mild delusion part. Both are well depict for her. Though the old lady seiyu for her kinda fits her but when they show the flashback. Having the same voice well.......... its not right in tons of way for me.
The doujin of that one will be number 1. Though I hate to say it but I will say it. It just won't spark and interest for me. Having touma and kuroko. She should just stay with her oneesama. OR JUST CREATE A YURI HAREM FOR HER!!!! |

Is this thread an excuse to discuss her yuri inclinations?
Quote:
I think her speech pattern is meant to cater for her high-strung attitude as a Tokiwadai girl. Elegant and snobbish, but willing to enslave herself to the Railgun. Similarly, her name is an oxymoron as is her character : Kuroko (Dark Child) Shiraishi (White Well).
