Mikoto fans have been busy researching and comparing the various differences in character design/animation apparent between different production staff for the anime, yielding up a quite surprising comparison image.
The table’s layout should be simple enough to interpret – numbers just refer to episode number involvement. Towards the end are various illustrators, including the designers of the light novel designs.
Fans can’t help but notice a rather wide degree of variation amongst character designs for the anime, let alone the various other media.

forehead-moe
I lol'd
MIKOTO <3 <3 <3
Never noticed how retarded her hair looks before now.
15 is totally off her face on something..
I like 18 the best; nothing better than a girl embrassed!
#4. She got the K-ON look.
As a fan of Haimura Kiyotaka i love the #20 one.
I second that notion.
I third the motion.
Are these all official illustrations?
The evolution of the RAILGUN.... NICE!
Hey how are you counting?
1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
etc
Or
1 5 9 13 17
2 6 10 14 18
etc
misakaaa kawaiiiiii~
Tōma Kamijō has seen most of her anger faces and some cute side of Misaka.
There's a face she does that isn't here. That cat-eyed "w"-mouthed shape when she thinks of that frog. uhh... Geko.. Gekopin? Gekopa?
Gekota i think
Gekota.
9 & 18 are the true "Mikoto" ones in my opinion
can I take them all home?
You should remember, Rena never manages to take anything home. Also biribiri is only my railgun. I'll share a Misaka imouto though.
I'm not yours, nor anyone's
any face misaka onee-sama makes is delicious in itself nyaaa!<3
I demand my 20 faces of Kuroko.
i like 9 the best, feels the most like her.
Me? 7 & 18.
7, 8 and 13 are responsible for the second op, I just can't see it from the design. 6 look more like the one who did the second op.
2,3,6 for the handsome factor. Probably how Kuroko sees one-sama
7 is cute but it's not quite Mikoto, 18 definitively is teh Mikoto.
loli Misaka is not technically Biribiri. Note the lack of the goggle wearing Sniper wielding type too if you're going to include the numbered Misakas.
Hoi, 2chn! Where da heck is loli-Misaka?! You missed the most important one! xD
10, 11 and 12 seem the least on target... 2 just looks like another character.
add 20 to that and im fine, also 19 reminds me of maka lol
1 looks like its from the same artist as toradora and to reminds me of Kaichou wa Maid-sama
i like 4,9 and 17 the best i guess
Yeah 19 looks like Maka with untied hair. ^^
My favourite is the 3rd one. I also like 4,9,17,18 and 20.
12 looks like strip dancer, sexy, i <3
2, 6 and 16 are totally my type of girl.
Mmm confident Biribiri
I like 19 best
looks.....Unique?
me too, looks better than others
It has a more mysterious air to it than the others.

*points @ 2 picture with circles* BAD@$$!!
I like 4, 9, and 17.
But, strangely enough, I also like 20, despite it being one of the ones that looks a little bit not like her.
If you think about it, it could be close to what she'd look like if she simply grew her hair out. But whatever.
and 20 to that and im fine, 19 reminds me of maka
1 looks like its by the same artist as toradora, 2 reminds me of Kaichou wa Maid-sama
i like 4,9 and 17 the best i guess
nr2 for me she is sooo cute there xD <3
I like #C76 - Ero Dakimakura look
18 for me, blushing Mikoto is the best..
No cat-face [http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/5366/vlcsnap2009121912h41m33.jpg] Biri-Biri?
None of these are screen caps, guess there's no still artwork that features the gekota face.
Still never realized there were this many artists
everything i see a post related to BiriBiri i feel happy inside =)
All of those Mikoto faces are simply kawaii!
Misaka is awesome. Coolest anime character since Kaname Chidori!
Completely agree. They are an awesome combination!
Misako, her moves and tsundere attitude remind me of pikachu...
No wonder the appeal!
i love all of them
