To Aru Kagaku no Railgun 12-16: Of Big Fights and Beaches

Railgun 12-16 04

Bring it down Biribiri.

It’s been a while since my last Railgun post, most of it was because I was trying to over come my disappointment with Kuroko over her un-lady like behavior in 13 and dismay that Mii was in love with a dude… The BIG FIGHT with the hyper ugly baby thing was satisfying enough though through the course of these episodes Biribiri’s limited understanding of others and her unwavering sense of justice has come out in full force. The fight it self was pretty good with Biribiri’s close combat skills shining through, heavily reliant on her powers though it may be. With the arrival of the candy lady I guess we are getting hints of something bigger at work once again. I am more sympathetic to Biribiri’s never give up attitude, but having been enlisted for over five years now I don’t think kicking quitters to the curb is the proper solution. For every broken person there is always a way to rebuild them though scrapping them for spares is not yet ethical…

The obligatory swimsuit episode was well…rather disappointing. In my humble opinion swimsuits ought to be stylish and fit for a lady sadly Mii’s was rather small, which they made much effort to point it out. Still Kuroko was the worst offender of them all, thankfully after a while the initial nausea wore off. It seems that Kuroko had yet to learn the importance of style form Alphard and Liang Qi who must have been greatly disappointed at how Kuroko showed more than she needed to and lacked the fashion sense to go with something more appropriate. I for one think Kuroko should have gone with the one her onee-sama had her eyes on. Maybe then Biribiri would have given Kuroko a bit more notice… I suppose the lesson is that you don’t have to show that much skin to look good. The only highlight was how Kongo-san dug herself a deep hole while Kuroko was gleefully grinning in the background. Judging by the sound advice they were trying to give on swimwear I guess the Railgun team has had first hand experience with swim suit FAIL.

Saten’s special lesson actually brought a better conclusion to the level upper arc, and it was rather fun to see the collection of level upper offenders in one place though I thought that the dark haired invisible girl didn’t listen to bad music. I wonder if Ane-go is going to be a recurring character, she was fairly amusing even if she got owned by Anti-skill CQC. I was hoping that Saten’s yuri stalker friend would make bold decisive moves but I suppose not. I guess Saten only has Uiharu in her heart when it comes to this and that… Yomikawa’s push it to the limit trick was pretty much ripped out of every Drill Instructor routine I have seen though with a lot less yelling and fake cursing. Hopefully one day Saten’s hard work will pay off, but I can sympathize with hitting a wall well sort of. The only thing that gets me frustrated long term is video games though after having yelled at many a system I have learned to put it down for the day instead of trying to fight my way through it and getting more frustrated. I don’t agree with giving up but do advocate a disengage and reassess approach.

The next serious arc after the level upper incident was a minor foray into Mii territory about her gangsta days, I have to say it was as inoffensive as can be though most biker gangs or rather biker clubs I have seen are made up of older folks that don’t fit the popular stereotype as hard drinking troublemakers. I could not help but laugh a little that Kurozuma had almost he same haircut as Zartan from the old GI Joe cartoons who incidentally also rode around with a biker gang. It was nice to see a little history on Mii though I don’t really approve of how they make a point to mention how well endowed she is. My respect for a slipped a bit when she lost her sense of duty and reverted back to her old loyalties though I guess love makes an idiot out of her as well. Iwas looking forward to seeing Biribiri and Kuroko trash those thugs but I guess guess Kurozuma and Mii deserved to have a fight as a couple though I did enjoy watching fists fly and faces getting smashed in interesting ways. Mii’s CQC may not be as powerful as Kuroko’s but it is reassuring that she has some combat capability since her first outing when Kuroko was a little loli was unimpressive. As for promoting a Certain Brand of Milk I wish they would have gone wild promoting fake products. The Capacity Down should have had more bass but I guess it couldn’t be ghetto FABULOUS and be a ECM device at the same time. I guess with the increase in illegal weapons and common thugs having uncommon weapons that we’ll be going into another arc that goes into the dark side of Academy City. At any rate Mii’s roommate totally needs jump Mii and bring her back to the yuri side doing this and that.

Mama…

Railgun 12-16 06

Just making sure you’re not from Black Water or Executive Outcomes…

Railgun 12-16 07

Judge her by her size do you…?

Railgun 12-16 08

She sucks with kids…

Railgun 12-16 09

That is a weird camo pattern…

Railgun 12-16 10

IN A NURSE OUTFIT RIGHT?!

Railgun 12-16 11

We missed that you.

Railgun 12-16 12

Feelings…

Railgun 12-16 13

Just like an overgrown kid, not that there is anything wrong with that.

Railgun 12-16 14

We have no need for Spiky-kun to induce blushing.

Railgun 12-16 15

Well I think Kuroko earned it.

Railgun 12-16 16

If only…

Railgun 12-16 17

So you did get Liang Qi’s guile.

Railgun 12-16 18

All you had to do was agree in the first place.

Railgun 12-16 19

Victory.

Railgun 12-16 20

We must see this and that animated at some point…

Railgun 12-16 21

FUCK YEAH PHOTOSHOP.

Railgun 12-16 22

One day Kuroko will grow into full womanhood like Liang Qi and Alphard…hopefully there will be a time skip to see the results.

Railgun 12-16 23

Railgun 12-16 24

Some people just never grow up.

Railgun 12-16 25

Well don’t be in hurry to grow up now, your not there yet…

Railgun 12-16 26

Well that is Stylish Saten for you.

Railgun 12-16 27

Kuroko, Kuroko, Kuroko, it’s not how much you who but how you show it…

Railgun 12-16 28

Good looking our Uiharu we must not let this Yuri Party be ruined by a male presence…

Railgun 12-16 29

I trust that it is at least SPF 30.

Railgun 12-16 30

Pretty much captures the spirit of the series.

Railgun 12-16 31

Some how I don;t get the sense that Kuroko is really resisting.

Railgun 12-16 32

Look who’s talking…

Railgun 12-16 33

The Droid invasion has begun, Google equipped and only on Verizon…

Railgun 12-16 34

I see we have three adherents to the cult of Mac.

Railgun 12-16 35

Now go bash something.

Railgun 12-16 36

Seems Kuroko has a good grasp on her would be rival.

Railgun 12-16 37

Rich bastards…

Railgun 12-16 38

Think of it this way you are by far the best looking microwave to come a long in a long time…

Railgun 12-16 39

I see some one likes their soup CAMPBELL’S CHUNKY.

Railgun 12-16 40

I suppose Biribiri’s problem is one of concentration and not of power…

Railgun 12-16 41

The feeling isn’t exactly mutual…

Railgun 12-16 42

To memories.

Railgun 12-16 43

Well that is one way of broadcasting your weakness.

Railgun 12-16 44

If only Kuroko could see this…

Railgun 12-16 45

Your thoughts betray you onee-sama…

Railgun 12-16 46

So long as you give Kuroko something in return…

Railgun 12-16 47

Yeah your crew looks shitty.

Railgun 12-16 48

Good to know that these girls don’t like boys.

Railgun 12-16 49

Lolis are evil…

Railgun 12-16 50

By the way does she get a happy ending when the massage is done?

Railgun 12-16 51

Ah it’s Saten’s yuri stalker.

Railgun 12-16 52

Your logic is impeccable.

Railgun 12-16 53

Well it’s not legally torture…

Railgun 12-16 54

He runs on Energizer.

Railgun 12-16 55

This is some dance class…

Railgun 12-16 56

Do you plan on doing this and that to Saten-san by chance?

Railgun 12-16 57

Motherfuckers hating on yuri again.

Railgun 12-16 58

Indeed…

Railgun 12-16 59

Having been raised by Alphard and Liang Qi, Kuroko knows a thing or too about villainy.

Railgun 12-16 60

Kuroko’s happiest day yet.

Railgun 12-16 61

You didn’t have to milk the bull you know…

Railgun 12-16 62

Ah yes shameless product placement.

Railgun 12-16 63

I share Kuroko’s dismay.

Railgun 12-16 64

Because LOVE WILL NEVER DIE!

Railgun 12-16 65

I suggest renaming your home…

Railgun 12-16 66

You know surprise does hinge on the minimum of people knowing about it…

Railgun 12-16 67

So let Kuroko protect the feeling of love in onee-sama’s heart.

Railgun 12-16 68

Biribiri can get quite frisky when she is in the mood.

Railgun 12-16 69

Unlike her parents Kuroko actually gives people a chance to surrender.

Railgun 12-16 70

Also your purple van was ugly.

Railgun 12-16 71

Big Spider meet the new Snakes…

Railgun 12-16 72

Why can’t TSA agents be that pretty…

Railgun 12-16 73

Sure what ever you say.

Railgun 12-16 01

Silly suicide bomber your trigger is most lacking…

Railgun 12-16 02

Damn you heterosexuality!

Railgun 12-16 03

Let’s share this special milk that Kuroko bought…
