Swimsuit fan-service filler.
Summary:
Mikoto and Kuroko are invited by Kuroko's two swim club classmates to go to a swimsuit photo-shoot. The four of them are also joined by Kazari, Ruiko, Mitsuko, and Konori. After the girls pick their swimsuits, they are led into a holographic virtual reality room for the photo-shoot. The photos are automatically taken by computers, so it's just the girls posing in the room. The room starts off in beach and pool environments, but it quickly goes on the fritz and forces the girls through a host of strange and hostile environments including in the middle of winter blizzard, in a hot desert, on a boat in the middle of a storm, and on the moon (with reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey).
The swimsuit company eventually notices the room is malfunctioning and puts the room into a camp environment where the girls can make lunch. The girls choose make curry, and in order to impress/make fun of the other, Mitsuko somehow convinces everyone that she is an expert at making curry despite not knowing how to cook at all. After a few awkward moments, Mitsuko eventually tells the truth and nobody really cares, and afterwards all the girls enjoy the delicious curry they made together as the photo-shoot resumes.
After the photo-shoot, all of the girls except Mikoto meet up and they wonder where Mikoto is. It turns Mikoto is still back in the holographic room with the remote control in hand. Mikoto had her eyes on a frilly swimsuit earlier and she is now trying it out with the room set to the beach environment. Unfortunately for Mikoto, she had accidentally set the room to public broadcast in big screen on the outside of the company building and her performance is seen by Touma who is passing by.

Not much to say this week. This was the expected swimsuit fanservice filler episode, which meant that there wasn't much of a plot and there were lots of shots of T&A. The non-Railgun-manga character Mitsuko received her first significant amount of screen time, but we didn't really learn much about her other than that she has a snake, is haughty, can't cook, and has a good swimsuit body. Given that Mitsuko is not in the Railgun manga, she probably won't play a big role unless J.C. Staff gives us an anime-original story arc. The highlight of this episode was of course the end where Mikoto broadcasts her own joyous moment for Touma to see. I wonder what Touma will think of Mikoto now lol.
No new episode next week due to holidays.
