Yeah I’d be interested in reading why you thought so, because that’s the way I felt about Index the original.

The “ED” was actually the OP; Gundam 00 season two did that for the first episode — along with a few other series — too.

Well, here I am opposite everyone else again. I hated this episode. I thought the direction was terrible, and the show has none of the kick that Index did. It was a complete letdown for me. I guess I’ll explain more when I get back to posting on my blog again…

Definitely. That’s what makes the final arc particularly disappointing — it really comes off like a story that should be in the middle of the season rather than something to close things out. If it had been anything but a season-closing arc it might have been fine, but … yeah.

As long as Railgun doesn’t try to do too much with its story I think it’ll be good. I remember Index introducing this big story of conspiracies, and then being frustrated, because they’d then show whole series of arcs that had nothing to do with the main story. I know it only covered a few of the books, but the direction was absolutely horrendous, IMO.

Hmm, that’s strange. But I was thinking the ED seemed a little fast paced, I guess that explains it.

lol, this is probably not a family-friendly blog to begin with anyway.

Nope, haven’t read the manga. Index is a light novel, but Railgun is a manga?

The show is called Railgun, but Kuroko hogged all the screen time this episode. I like Kurogane's title for this episode: "A Certain Berserk Yuri Telelporter" lol. .-= TJ´s last blog ..To Aru Kagaku no Railgun 01 =-.

[...] RP’s contention that Kuroko’s yuri lust was ‘pretty restrained’, I’m pleased to report that [...]

I enjoyed this first episode, too. Agreed that the standalone style of this episode is cool. It is a nice way to ease people back into the world of Index. Love Misaka, and I like the new characters quite a bit, too. Plus, more badass railgun action. Hell yes.
