Hehe, you said it.
Like the others, I watched this series with high expectations, which quickly devolved into fan service, cute girls, half-assed enemies with even more half-assed explanations for motives and background information, etc. Oh yea, let's not forget the all important Touma impression, "I'm a guy, you're a girl - Imma save you and while I'm at it, I'll deliver my awesome shonen speech to shame you to kingdom come, so eat my right Imagine Breaker fist, kono yarou!"
Yea, I don't expect anything more from the Railgun series, but I still liked this series because the animation was great.
