So today was spent….sleeping and watching anime. XD I am a very productive person you see. But I managed to eat some real food! Exciting progress!
No one can resist cute Saten!!!
Also the cherry on this lazy Sunday was To Aru Kagaku Railgun was GOOD today. I have been complaining about filler episodes and how each minor character known to the series/mankind got an episode dedicated to their…specialness. But now there seems to be plot! Come and enjoy the plot with me!
Episode Overview: Kongo is in her room studying when an earthquake appears to hit the area. But when several objects move in her room it seems that this earthquake was not really an earthquake. Uiharu is asked by her teacher to help a new transfer student out and to be her roommate. Uiharu says yes so some interesting plot stuff can happen to her too. Uiharu introduces her new roommate Haruue to her friends and they all move Haruue’s junk inside the small room. Kuroko and Uiharu have to go to a Judgment/AntiSkill meeting so Saten and Misaka show Haruue around town. Then there is an overlap of Saten talking about a rumor of a supernatural force attacking the town in the form of an earthquake and what is really going on during the meeting. Telestina (suspicious person seen many episodes ago and probably the one who helped out Big Spider) steps up and explains that RSPK syndrome is what is causing the earthquakes. Basically the espers going berserk with their powers again. Shocking.
MOG FLASHBACKS!!! X_X No bug catching!
Uiharu is eager to spend time with her new friend while Konori is suspicious of how AntiSkill is handling the situation. The junior high girls take Haruue to the arcade where she can showcase how special she is and how she's never done anything ever. Uiharu spends a lot of time not being able to put on a yukata and talking about how she is helping Haruue because she used to suck at life too. The girls then go watch fireworks and take part in a festival and it is all Endless Eight again. Konori is finding sneaky stuff on the internet and Haruue starts clutching her necklace and wondering where SHE is. She runs off and Uiharu chases after her. There is an earthquake and Telestina in a weird space suit saves her. Haruue is all sad, Harumi is seen clutching the same necklace, and Telestina smirks evily. The end.
I was thinking this was Haruue's power. It was disappointing to learn it was a normal suit. :(
Look at all that beautiful plot! Isn’t it magical!
Winning is overrated anyway. X_X
So let’s talk about Haruue. We saw her before during one of the boring fillery side character stories. I believe the one with the AntiSkill Tsuduri being useless. I think Haruue lost her necklace in that episode and Tsuduri wasn’t able to find it because she sucks. Overall Haruue reminds me of another character that might have gotten on my nerves. Her name might have been Hyoka XD Haruue a bit loopy and doesn’t seem to know what is going in the real world. Think of the poor whack a moles. She did overdo it with the grabbing the necklace bit though.
It's not obvious at all....
So now let’s talk about who Haruue really is. When we first saw her briefly in that past episode I thought her weird hairstyle hinted at her being Jufuku’s sister. But with her continuous “wow I have never done this” raised a red flag. Almost like she is an alien visiting Earth for the first time. OOOOOOOOR if Harumi is holding your matching necklace oh so tight….someone who has been in a coma for a really long time.
So Haruue is one of Harumi’s kids that got tested on and went splat. Probably the main one. Not much of a secret there. XD
Okay we get it! You sucked. Life moves on.
I could have done without Uiharu’s over the top….craziness. Wasn’t she tired from going crazy last episode? I think she was stretching her issue at sucking in Judgment to being the new transfer kid. But meh people often try to find ways to connect with people when their stories really aren’t that similar. But of course I find the entire concept of being close to a person after knowing them for 5 hours pretty weird anyway.
I think I understand this better than the AIM stuff. But still being an esper sounds so dangerous....
Confusing terms are once again confusing! But now they are bringing back the AIM fields to explain the RSPK syndrome. Basically (in Tenchi terms) it means that one esper can’t control their power very well and sorta releases a bit of power unconsciously. This happens naturally and all the time like the AIM field. But what is happening now is when multiple esper users have a RSPK attack at the same it creates these earthquakes. Now…to me this sounds like a serious issue and would make me want to keep esper users separated if accidents like this can happen. But no let’s gather up all the esper users in one spot so this occurrence can happen more often yay!
Right....rumor control...
I love how AntiSkill and Judgment want to limit the rumors on these earthquakes. A day late and a dollar short like always. But I am not sure what Konori thought was so weird about how the team was handling the situation. Considering she is just Judgment and she didn’t hear how AntiSkill was handling the matter her burning the midnight oil made no sense to me. GRANTED SHE IS RIGHT….still it made no sense to me.
That is not a big hint at all!!! Never....
Telestina came off a little strong. But since she has been shown in other episodes acting a little shady it shouldn’t come as a surprise that she is the bad guy. I guess somewhere in that mess Konori caught on to something. But since everyone missed Telestina’s evil smile in the space suit (WTF was that space suit) no one is going to suspect her of wrong doing in the next episode. The real mystery is why she is making the espers have RSPK syndrome. I doubt her reasoning is as awesome as Harumi’s.
Roger that, next week will be just as amazing!
I like this episode and where the plot is going. Please keep this pace up for next week (although I think at this point they have to!). Except with 50 percent less Uiharu maybe?
