I’m just hoping to see more of Touma X Misaka, certainly the best part of this episode was Misaka chasing touma, but sadly it just lasted like 1 min and touma never appeared again, well the episode was alright but kuroko jumping over misaka who in return pushes her away is getting old, I just hope that they dont spend the damned whole season doing the same thing over and over.
Moar Touma X Mikoto please ^o^ .

Shikabane Hime anime is a lot better than the manga it completely deviated from.

1) Actually the swimsuit thing took place after the major fight of the Level Upper arc which was chapter 17, not the epilogue; the manga continues on after that.

2) No it doesn’t end there, it’s still on-going and continues into the Index series timeline. In order to deomnstrate this, I have to put the spoiler that right now in chapter 23-25, Misaka is facing off against Accelerator for the first time. So no, the manga isn’t over yet, it’s still continuing on into the Index storyline.

2 things your should know:
1) The suimsuit thing towards the end of the episode actually took place during the epilogue of the manga, so it’s really more of a restructuring of events than anything else. I suspect they did so to move all the light hearted parts to the beginning to avoid mood whiplash when the plot kicks into high gear.

2) The railgun manga expands on the relationship between Touma and Mikoto quite abit. Without spoiling too much, the upshot is that their rivalry extends quite abit before the beginning of Index. Railgun is ensentially a prequel to Index, with the story ending just after Styx attacks Touma. So, yeah, it does not happen between episodes one and ten.

Yyyeah, and I disagree with the idea that the majority of the anime-dom has that all manga-based anime are bad; hence why I said I rarely say this. But I digress as that is a totally different matter.

Shinji,
I really cant think of a single anime that is based on a manga that was not followed, and it turned out better than the manga.

Ah I think I get the misunderstanding. I dont think it was ever stated when they actually first met. And having seen the episode now, that scene dosnt give off the first meeting impression either. It fits the misaka trying to pick fights with touma that was going on at the time.
