Railgun – 05: Alte Kameraden

November 16th, 2009

Well a bucket of sweat saves a gallon of blood, that it does…

After a wee bit of background on Biribiri and her boy troubles we get some glorious fluff about Kuroko and Uiharu. While both are rather young in years they were quite adorable in when still in elementary school. I was surprised that Kuroko was so negative about going to Tokiwadai and had some very nasty things to say about the Tokiwadai no Ace. Uiharu however seems to have always been into yuri and imagined going to school with Long Haired Kanako and Ayarin, I wonder how far her fantasies go…

At any rate Kuroko seems to be Alphard onee-sama and Liang Qi’s adopted love child given how she has strong similarities to both. Her combat abilities were superb for a young girl at her age and her courage was beyond questioning. Still while herèlan is in force it needs to be sharpened by experience which I shall enjoy watching her gain. Kuroko’s first opponent was a champion marble player gone bad but despite the difference in size Kuroko bested him and made a firm stance on her ideals. Perhaps one day Kuroko could be the hero Alphard wanted to be, but at any rate in Kuroko Alphard and Liang Qi’s spirit shall live on. I will follow Kuroko’s career with great interest… Uiharu might have zero combat ability but I like how she stood up against Kuroko who forgot their childhood promise. At the very least Uiharu isn’t spineless and can stand up for what she thinks is right. Ah to be young again full of ideals and immune to cynicism. Overall I liked it better thanCalawain because I think Kuroko is awesome in her own right, even if she wasn’t assaulting her onee-sama.

Calawain’s Admiration of Railguns

Pretty mediocre episode overall, with fillertastic nonsense mostly surrounding Uiharu, by far the weakest character of the four mains. Reckless loli Kuroko was rather awesome though, no guts no glory. The distinct lack of Biribiri really took a toll on the quality of this episode.

Come ON! ONE FOR THE CORPS!

…

Hmm…It seems Kuroko was passing out PC Parts cocktails for a sometime…

…

Just because you have been in the field doesn’t mean you have been in the shit…

In boot camp everything you do is wrong, what matters is that you never give up.

…

I habve prayed long for a year of yuri and BEHOLD!

Uiharu believes in overwhelming superiority.

Only if you go in with with teleporting needles blazing…

Kuroko would rather write love letters to onee-sama…

…

Well that diffused her anger quick…

Oh ho…an illicit affair between two imoutos…

That’s one way of getting excuses to spend time together…

Take your time.

It’s just not fun when Uiharu doesn’t get all flustered.

I bet…

Komori rather enjoys her yuri couples.

Tenderly of course.

I see that the Yuri is strong in this series, just look at those two girls ogling Uiharu…

Oh it’s confession time…

…

So can you you please accept Kuroko as you petite soeur…

Kuroko wants to kick ass and take names…

Kuroko wants to outshine all the others like her mother Alphard onee-sama.

:3

The Yuri is strong in this one.

Someone likes to pet the loli…

There is no “I” in team but there is a “we” in weapon…

It’s only because you are so cute.

Uiharu be stalking.

…

O_o

Looks like it.

Oh but when you are older you will want it the other way around.

It was destiny…

…

It totally should be like this.

But it is better to live in a fantasy of Kanako’s creation that go along with moribund reality.

Hard to believe she would be gushing about being a proper lady and sipping tea later in life.

Well they will raise that level cap in the next WoW expansion.

Well a bucket of sweat saves a gallon of blood, that it does…

Oh you will know her name and never forget it, that you will…

I trust that eventually you will never be so glad you were wrong…

Futari ga kitto deaeruyouna mahou wo kakete
Ryoute wo sotto kasanetehora hohoemukara

Komori wants to see if Kuroko is wearing that T-Back…

Integrated scouter…?

I suppose so assuming he plans to hang himself…

So stern this one is…

I see that Alphard onee-sama’s love of boots has rubbed off on Kuroko too…

She’s an ojou-sama from a distinguished family that has been continued for a thousand years, skilled in both literary and military arts, with wit and beauty, the intensity of summer, the grace of autum, the pride of winter, and the gentleness of spring…
