Recently the 24 episode series of Railgun finished which was a shame because they could have done the anime so much better.

Let me say now that I will try and keep this brief because I know you dickheads either cant be assed reading or simply dont reply so I have no idea who actually cares about this shit.
Background:

Misaka Mikoto of Tokiwadai is a level 5 ability user (the highest known level) and is affectionately known as the Ace of Tokiwadai: Railgun. She has the ability to create and control electrical fields and that alone is an extremely useful skill but she takes it one step further by taking a common coin and forcing it to accelerate at horrendous speeds using her electrical field mastery…thus she is Railgun.

Misaka was introduced in To Aru Majutsu no Index…an anime I didn’t particularly enjoy but it had its charm I suppose. She was a sub character throughout the anime and I guess someone just thought: “Man people like this chick…lets make an entire anime out of it!” and you can almost guess that it would have notorious filler eps…which it does.

Anyway, Misaka lives in the Tokiwadai school dorms with Shirai Kuroko…a level 4 teleport user who is also crazily in love with Misaka and on many attempts she tries to make advances on her. Shirai is also a member of “Judgement” who are essentially the Police of Academy City (the city they live in). The story follows Misaka as she helps Shirai and judgement using her ability and they throw in Uiharu and Saten from another school nearby and you get a crazy team of young girls who are apparently the only ones that can save the city from total destruction.

The anime itself is pretty boring to be fair…I can’t honestly recommend it to anyone other than Index/Misaka fans. Here is my reasoning:

• Its just fanservice…Misaka and Shirai psuedo-lesbianism throughout the series with overly cliche characters everywhere.
• The story is thin…honestly the first bad boss helps defeat the last boss even though they tried to destroy the city.
• Cliche characters…seriously…as soon as the intro stops you should have been able to predict every single character.
• Uiharu has the worst power ever…its actually so bad its laughable…and no one explains the head-flowers.
• It sounds as if it was written on the fly…after episode 12 the whole series just falls apart and fillers hit from eps 13-19 and then suddenly they introduce and kill off a major bad guy in the last 4-5 eps.
• The ending sucks…After wasting 23 episodes watching crap, they finish it off with crap. Ugh.

I think I’ll leave this short ass review there, basically watch this anime if you are horribly bored and liked Index…other than that it simply isnt worth it.

Misaka is fucking cool though.

Rating: 7/10. Barely hits a 5 but gets 2 extra points for the fight scene in ep 12.

In unrelated news, I took a photo of my desk for a mate…and I might as well share it…check it out here
