So? I already knew that. Even before you read the manga.
Even if they said the author himself made this, it didn't turn so well. Or did you enjoy this bad arcs? Telestina can't compete with... you know who.
Well then i don't know why you're claiming they pulled it out of their asses
Personally i didn't find this last arc all that bad, it's just that most of us we're already fed up with railgun at that point for all the ridiculous naruto-like fillers we'd been getting as of late and the ones like yourself that had already read the manga were disappointed so much content didn't make it to the anime
To finalize, it's no Toaru Majutsu no Index but still an overall enjoyable series 7/10
Look at it like this. They said this episodes had the input of Kamachi to be done? Right? They said the same thing about the Six-tails arc of Naruto and the Humanized-Zanpaktou of Bleach.
I find hard to believe Kamachi did episodes like the ones of the Antiskill girl or the Dorm manager. Kamachi probably only said: "you can expand on Kiyama's story and bring back the children" and the studio filled the gaps.
Kamachi's plot on Index and the Railgun manga have never been so messy like this Telestina arc was. It just seemed to borrow ideas from here and there to create it. They made Mikoto preachy like Touma and then they created another Level-6 experiment.
If Kamachi had indeed wrote all of this, First Sample would have been Mikoto. Im almost sure the guy on Mikoto's flashback, during Index, was Kihara himself.
And do remember they messed up the timeline. We never got to see Mikoto chasing Touma to the bridge, for the start of Index, like we saw on the Railgun manga.
The ending shows both Index and Aisa already on Academy City. Heck, Aisa is already with Konoe-sensei. They left very little time for Mikoto to fall into despair in preparation for the Index Arc.
The studio messed it up. Not only the Railgun manga, but also the Index Timeline.
I have to agree on this episode being largely worthless. It didn't give me a grand final battle vibes for a second, nor was it exciting for a moment. The giant robot appearing out of nowhere was the stupidest part of it by far. The earlier exoskeletons they sported in disaster relief were somewhat plausible since even in RL they would surely be used. But this huge thing that still moved as fast as Kiyama's bloody Italian sports car..?
They should have made this a 13 episodes series instead of this shitty latter portion. I certainly won't be missing this.
last ep was awesome... well, haters gonna hate
must be a manga-reader thing, I m a bit disappointed because I expected to see a lot more Touma+Misaka stuff but thats all.
I don't know why ryou says they messed up the timeline though, not showing the bridge scene doesn't mean it didn't happen.
and after all... why do you care? They didn't give away dates and to be honest, its weird that Touma doesn't know about such events in the first place..
srsly... he's the same type as Shirou from FSN... whenever something is wrong, he is around to help

I just had a slight concern about a massive and huge mech outrunning a lamborghini gallardo and Misaka using electromagnetism as an attractive force towards that same car that is mainly made of aluminium (though you'd probably wouldn't need that much iron to attract such a light body)
Other than that, it was more of a shounen end, wasn't it? Not that bad with some great deal of power and "I shout so I'm getting stronger" final shot.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
If you're gonna be anal about it that first railgun was pretty wacky too with the coin ignoring any air resistance at all and gently falling in front of Misaka
I think that we can agree that the attention to detail and foundations in science and metaphysics that Index and Railgun are usually very well grounded in were not present at all in this episode.
It was still cool though
Dates were ignored in the anime version. The novel and mangas are full of dates.
The manga chapter where Mikoto Railgun's the bank robber is titled July 16th
The chapter where Mikoto is confused as a Judgement member and seeks a 'bomb' was titled July 17th. This same day she chases Touma all night and uses the iron-sand sword.
Bomb guy appears on the chapters titled July 18th
Then Mikoto investigates with Kuroko the Level upper and acts as a cute girl. Touma interferes here (but wasn't shown in the anime) and its titled July 19th. This is the same day Index starts.
Kiyama´s story comes to pass through chapters titled July 20th onwards until July 24th
Then we see several flashbacks, including how Kuroko and Uiharu meet, to resume the plot on August 10th.
How are this dates important?
July 20th is the day Touma meets Index
I don't remember the exact date... but Touma meets Aisa around the 1st of August
And then Touma meets the SISTERS on August 20th
Touma lost his memories around July 25th, so he forgets all he did with Mikoto prior to this. So I don't understand why you mention its weird Touma doesn't know any of this. Its obvious he didn't know. He lost his memories.
Looking at the gap between dates... they could really easily fit all this anime-only railgun eps after all. Still... they changed how key events took place. We never saw the bridge scene which had importance to both Railgun and Index.
I'll stop ranting there. Kamachi probably knew the gap existed and allowed the story to be developed there. But I still dislike how they explored this side of things. I still don't believe Kamachi wrote it. Kamachi probably only gave the ideas.

So.. with a huge assignment on the horizon.. I decided to catch up on this instead..
Haha, I find myself agreeing with you. Not something you can call original or coherent, but it was fun, no?
I was just itching to see Kongo's ability, and Aerohand turned out to be pretty cool. Jut give her some airspace (or exemption from collateral damage) and something to fling, and you're in for one troublesome fight. Despite our previous debates on Kuroko's ability, we've never seen her teleported objects carry any momentum. She doesn't usually teleport anything moving, but that fact still stands, so I liked how they considered each other rivals. One is fast, while the other packs a punch.
Still, it's not like Kuroko's ability can't take out big targets. She's just never been brutal enough to completely slice an enemy in half by putting a window in him, or taking out a chopper by replacing its chassis with truck.
Probably my favourite scene too. I always imagined Tandem scenarios with the pair, though I never came up with the "reload" scenario. They could have executed something a bit less cliche with Misaka overpowering the cannon (which is supposedly stronger) by having Kuroko jump in and take away a powerpack/arm or something along those lines (jamming it like she always does?). I was actually expecting something similar to happen as Kuroko just woke up to hear about Misaka's supposed "disadvantage", so I'm a tad disappointed there.
As much as they tried to making that Misaka's "moment", it still didn't beat Kuroko pulling out an entire belt full of ammo.
<3 Kuroko.
edit: oh yeah, Uiharu was annoying as fuck. Good job Kuroko.

If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I liked how she called Kuroko for the tandem super railgun. Other than that, I think I only liked the scene when the children woke up.
Peace.
*insert random bashing here*
Other than that, it was an ok series. Exactly what I thought it would be. Filler with fanservice. Kuroko entering the bathroom while spouting crap was hilarious. Funniest part of the whole series IMO. Love her character, even though she's the less cute one. The powerless girl (forgot her name, too lazy to look it up) was the cutest IMO.
his memory loss has nothing to do with it... he's the guy whos always around whenever something weird/strange/big happens in the City.Touma lost his memories around July 25th, so he forgets all he did with Mikoto prior to this. So I don't understand why you mention its weird Touma doesn't know any of this. Its obvious he didn't know. He lost his memories.
