Railgun review

Kabitzin, over at Sea Slugs, finally got around to watching To Aru Kagaku no Railgun. And he loved it. "5 out of 5," he says.

Too bad Pete is so busy with aereoplanes these days.

UPDATE: I wonder why Sofuteni hasn't hit the torrents? The only raw I've seen is 512*288. (What's with that size?)

1 I just wish they'd publish Railgun in the US.  Maybe if we can get Wonderduck to write a review for it - after all, Ga-Rei Zero didn't get published in Region 1 until after his review.  Then again, his most recent review was Rio, so perhaps it's best to hope that his reviews don't actually sway the publishers...

2 It's a stream webrip, Steven, which accounts for the weird size.  I'm sure a normal size will be along "real soon now."

Siergen, I'd love to claim I had something to do with GRZ getting picked up by Funi, or that any series I do an episodic review of will get R1 distro, even I'm not delusional enough to think that.

Though I did predict that RRG! will get picked up and will make decent buckage.  We'll see. 

By the way, Robert has GRZ for sale now.  My copy is winging its way to Pond Central as we speak.  Type.  Whatever.

4 Railgun was good, but no 5 out of 5.  Kuroko was too much of a pain in the early episodes, and there were about 4 episodes of padding about side characters in the mid teens that were just tedious.

Worth watching though.

5 I didn't rate it that high, either. I gave it 3 out of 4 stars, mainly because of the filler episodes in the teens.

6 You never mentioned if you were watching Index II, are you?

7 No. I've downloaded the whole season but haven't started watching it, and I have no idea when, or even if, I'll get to it.
