[Initial Reaction] To Aru Kagaku no Railgun Episode 1

Or A Certain Scientific Railgun

Why this? Well, they're currently airing season two and I haven't seen any of it. I guess I technically should be starting with A Certain Magical Index? Not quite sure how this works. Way to be super confusing.

Episode 1: Electromaster

This anime takes place in a mythical place called Academy City, where the technology is extra advanced and most everyone is a student. Some of the inhabitents are espers, with more elemental based abilities instead of   the usual things we'd think to attribute to ESP.

Kuroko Shirai belongs to Judgement, apparently those who enforce the rules of Academy City. She is hot on the tail of some hooligans only to find them taken care of by Mikoto Misaka. This initially upsets her, but she gets over it quickly, dogging behind the elder girl.

On their way to school, Mikoto decides to assault a vending machine, not for any reason I can fathom. Just for the lulz.

At school there's a bit of bickering about esper class during gym. Turns out Kuroko is only a Level 1 and Mikoto, exploding things in a pool some distance away but causing a mighty uproar, is a Level 5.

There's some fanservice lesbonic moments in the shower after gym class.

No really.

The point of this is?

There was also a really weird scene in a diner in which Kuroko climbs in Ruiko's lap. It was another one of those throw away scenes that didn't really need to be there, like the earlier one with the vending machine.

They are joined on a trip to a crepe making food truck/park by Kazari Uiharu and her friend Ruiko Saten.

There doesn't seem to be any male protagonists. Where is their Tuxedo Mask?

Kuroko becomes upset at Mikoto and Ruiko's easy friendship (over frog cell phone jiggly things?), jealous even, making the anime even more lesbonic than before with shower groping.

While the other girls are espers of some sort, Ruiko doesn't have any magical ability.

Suddenly there's a bank robbery and a lost child. The bad guys are stopped, but Ruiko gets hit by a car in the process. But, everyone's fine. No one finished their pastries. Best friends forever.

I don't know about this show you guys, I just don't know.
