I want to watch her show, but I know Index happens first, so I'm supposed to watch it first.

The problem is I'm 7 episodes into Index and it's fucking shit. Does it get better? Should I just dump it and watch Railgun instead?
>>
If you don't like Index you're going to fucking hate Railgun. My advice would be to watch index, then watch Railgun S.
>>
I actually started with Railgun and never once felt lost or like I was really missing out on anything.
>>
>>155931419
I just want to watch the show with the cute tsundere zappy power girl. Are you telling me it's even more insipid than Index somehow? This is distressing news.

Railguns a lot worse than Index unless you prefer CGDCT with some action every now and then over what Index is giving you.

Also isn't Raildex like Haruhi in that the Chronological order is better watched than broadcast order?

It's not better. It's worse.

Railgun takes the only good arc in Index, fleshes it out, and essentially cuts out things about it which are bad (Touma).

Railgun is actually a better anime. You don't have to watch Index first. The only plot that develops in Index is the pseudo uncomfortableness that Mikoto has around Touma, but they introduce that in Railgun. Everything else is developed concurrently.
>>
>>155934407
No anon.
If I like the characters I can sit through a confusing plot and wait for it to make sense,.
If I like the plot and it interests me I can suffer some poor characterization.

Index has neither and I have no intention of sitting through the entire first season until the fucking thing finally starts making sense.

Railgun's Level upper arc takes place before Index, and there's even a Railgun sidestory novel that takes place a month before that. What you should do is read the fucking manga before watching the anime, because it's not a very good adaption outside of the first half of season 2. When you're done with that, and you still want more, dive into the Index side of things.

Index gets way better when Accelerator shows up then becomes shit again for a bit then gets way better later, and so on. Tbh it doesn't hit its stride until the last arc of S2, and S3 never
>>
I would assume you are better off sticking to the novels.
Index fluctuated wildy in quality in the anime.
Episode 1 was standard worldbuilding initialization, but I forgave it and moved on.
Episode 2 made me fall in love with the show, but the rest of the first arc left a lot to be desire.

Beyond Index and Deep Blood arc, Sister's arc and three story arc was enjoyable for me. I prefer science arcs in general. So I do get more enjoyment out of Railgun, but Index has those moments.

And I do want Dark Matter vs Accelerator animated.

It's been about 3 years since Accelerator's manga and Touma has yet to make an appearance there (no, one panel of Accelerator thinking about Touma's back isn't an appearance) so I doubt Touma will appear in the first chapter of Astral Body either, considering Touma should be in England.

The series does have the shonen tropes but it's unlike typical shonen in a lot of ways. That being said the beginning of the series is pretty episodic with villain of the week tier shit until the latter volumes where things really heat up and the story comes together aka Academy City Invasion, Battle Royal and so forth. The powers and abilities are pretty interesting and thought out too, but you'll probably get more enjoyment out of the science side arcs instead of the complicated magic arcs.

Railgun basically takes the arcs that people didn't like in Index and amplifies them in better ways, Sisters arc was amazing but no shit it was about her to begin with. In general though cute girls doing badass things and the story is pretty good. Read the manga instead if the anime bothered you.

It doesn't really matter how she dies.
The only thing that separates Touma from Aleister at this point is that he hasn't lost someone as ridiculously important to him as a daughter.
>>
>>155931318
Magic arcs in early Index can be pretty awful (see: Ice Boats) but things start to pick up once Vento of the Front appears. The arcs that deal with science seem to work better overall, maybe because Academy City and its sci-fi concepts are just more well-written and interesting than all the pseudo-religious magic BS Kamachi comes up with.

True, her dying in any sort of way would hurt him. But it being a stupid accident that had no malice, no tricky antagonist, no insane accident that Touma couldn't have prevented no matter what - just a regular, every day accident that Touma could have easily stopped but didnt because he was too busy doing something else would really kill him.
>>
>>155945062
The world is his antagonist then.
Clearly the current phase is to blame for her death.
>>
>>155932804
The absence of Index, who is a fucking awful character with no redeeming qualities as presented in the anime. Also, I feel like Touma actually works better as an out-of-focus character than he does as the MC.
>>
I imagine the Windowless Building and discovering the secrets of his powers will really push Touma over the edge, I wouldn't be surprised if Aleister tried to fuck his mind repeatedly and make him a magician by force for his grand plan. If Kamachi makes Touma the final antagonist I'd laugh.
>>
>>155945247
There's going to be something serious happening in the WB. And anyone who thinks it's gonna be as simple as "Join me, Touma" and Touma refusing with a punch is retarded. I think it'll start out as a simple hostage situation but quickly grow into something more difficult to deal with

I disagree. In anime form, they didn't work that much but in the light novel form, every single one of these arcs which I didn't enjoy that much in the anime (Deep Blood, Angel Fall, Orsola Aquinas Rescue and Ice Boats Arcs) were just so fricken enjoyable and interestingly unorthodox

>>155946138
Kamachi knows that cheap shock value such as killing off characters left and right is objectively bad writing. Not that he's the greatest author or anything, but he's not gonna start doing it now.

One Piece is probably one of the most creative manga I know of, the only issue is post timeskip it feels like the characters have had little development. Even when the crew splits apart they still hardly get the proper focus outside of I guess Sanji because this is literally his arc.

He was disguising himself, although he does look like a young adult in this volume because of how nuclear he was going.
>>
>>155948648
Then it has to be shonen because it was serialized by a company that focuses on this demographic?

Well, the manga anyway.

Couldn't find anything indicating that LN's were splot into demographics, because apparently, adults almost never buy them.
>>
>>155949166
Most of Kamachi's fans in Japan are adults it seems. At least from what I can see on some of their image boards and forums, a lot of his fans have been sticking with him since Index s1 or 2. Although those are the ones who still follow him. I know there's been some (probably younger) fans who don't like how weird his writing has gotten, and stopped buying.

But when you look at stuff like SAO and the other big names, it's mostly teens buying them.
>>
>>155948982
>it feels like the characters have had little development.

I believe this is largely due to the fact that everybody sans Sanji already had really good stories in regards to the characters they knew before joining the crew.

Kinda like how Luffy's origin story wasn't as emotional as his story with Ace.

There's also the fact that Oda opened up the story to extend beyond the Straw Hats (allies like Law and likely Ki'nemon and the other people of Wano Country getting fleshed out backstories for example) did get in the way of any Straw Hat development.

To get back on topic, I've been interested in checking out Index because I like the stuff that goes on in the background when the focus isn't on Touma, but the stories shown in the show so far are mostly Touma focused and are usually formulaic.

>Touma meets new character who has a problem
>Touma meets antagonist of the story arc
>Touma punches antogonist to save the new character
>ends up in a hospital
>usually the new character ends up irrelevent or cast aside for jokes in future arcs
>repeat
I did however like when the show focused on Accelerator since it gives more world building more often than Touma focused stories which has slight teases of it, and I don't know how often that'll happen in the source material.

That's early OT. Volumes 1-11 were written with just minimal foreshadowing and essentially like a battle harem. The last 8~ episodes of s2 is when the series really takes off. I can assure you that formula gets tossed out the window.

Later on you'll get entire volumes/arcs without Touma, or where the villain has the perspective, or Touma get BTFO and only appears a few times in the volume. And for the second half of the first series, there's a MC trio dynamic.
>>
>>155949392
That is true, it feels like each arc that introduces a new crew mate jumps straight into their backstory or at least builds up mystery behind their character every other arc for a future arc on said character.

That being said though that is pretty true for most arcs with Touma in them. That's probably why some people prefer Railgun. Typically the arcs where another character is a major focus like Battle Royal get the most hype, but I don't hate Touma as a character in general so all the arcs are pretty cool to me.

>>155948920
I'm just saying that there's so many cameos/references to Index that it kinda just feels really weird. Tried it, but there were too many unexplained shit like:

Who's this random ass guy who keeps jumping in at the randomest times?

Why is Kuroko in a wheelchair?

Why are they putting so much time on making us care about ITEM?

Who is this random ass shotacon? Who is that random ass magician? Who is this random ass group that didn't get any proper introduction?

At first, it's quite easy, but once you go further and further into the manga, the more and more it becomes dependent on you reading Index to fill in so many of the blanks. There's always a note saying ''READ INDEX'' ''If you want to find out this, READ INDEX V.8'' ''IF you want to find out that, READ INDEX V.15'', ''And if you want to find out this, read ACCELERATOR

I like Index way better than Railgun.
The men in Index are far more interesting than any of the girls in Railgun, so the more screentime they have the better.

Sadly this is the opposite for Touma. The less screen time he has, the more interesting he appears.

Why can't Raildex just be about AC and espers? Kamachi's sci-fi concepts are pretty creative and original. The magic elements feel like the weakest part of the plot imo (tons of bullshit about religion and idol theory and magic babble blah blah). It's as though two completely different genres are trying to coexist in one story, and it doesn't always work.
>>
>>155952554
When you get down to it, the technobabble and religion babble is the same shit.
>>
>>155952554
This is the author's explanation of why he did it that way:
>——So the science/magic setting started with Index?

>Kamachi: Yes. I started it as a story only about magic. However, to make the magical elements stand out, I needed some kind of power to oppose it. For example, you can have them defeat a normal special forces unit or see how powerful some magic is compared to a tank shell. Having something to compare it to makes it all easier to understand. If I was going to do that, I felt it would be better to have it all bound together in a consistent worldview than to have more scattered elements the magic is compared to. And that was how the science element of the story came about.

>——And so to give those two elements form, you created the stage of Academy City, right?

>Kamachi: Right. Although technically, I only came up with the setting of Academy City after completing my ideas on the character of Kamijou Touma. Touma can negate not just magic but any kind of supernatural power, so I needed to have some kind of mysterious power other than magic that was constantly around him. For that reason, Touma technically belongs to the science side, but he doesn’t really fit in with the other characters from it. At the same time, he is not a magician.In order to show the irregularity of Imagine Breaker, I could not have him be a normal high school boy in a normal city, and yet I could not have him be a special person living in a special world either. That was why I had to create a city where science, espers, and magic would gather.

I am not really defending Railgun or Nagai for that matter, but the first season did a good job showing how most of the mooks see the city with their flowery lenses.

Drop Index. Forget it exists. Railgun is better by miles and the main character is about 1000x more likeable than that uninspired 'hero' Touma. They also handle Misaka better and make her more than a generic tsundere. Until the couple of episodes touma shows up and she acts completely different around him because reasons. Also the humor is more varied and doesn't really ever get stale unlike in Index where every light moment is punctuated by Touma doing something perverted and getting bitch slapped by whoever he creeped on.

You got me to reply, asshole.

So the real Crowley was really into sex, right? Will that come up in Index? I don't mean full on porn scenes like Fate. I mean off screen sex that's confirmed to have happened and may even serve a plot purpose. I feel like Kamachi may be toeing a line if he tries that

Well Aleister had multiple kids, and Index/Laura could be related to him.

Birdway a best!
>>
>>155959067
Although I think it was the filler shit that came afterward that made it sell so significantly less.

Index 2 on the other hand got an incredible boost because of 0930.

>>155959087
In Japan, they did. Railgun S1 sold incredibly well because the Raildexfags, Mikotofags, and SOLfags all bought it. The latter got disgusted by Railgun S actually showing the true colors of the series in the Sisters arc and raged.
>>
>>155959183
I don't think there's anything wrong with SoL, or just having contained episodic stories. For god's sake though, they had to know it was coming. Even the beginning of railgun wasn't exactly SoL.
>>
>>155959298
It's just the SOL in Railgun was really shitty, had someone eating every 5 minutes, followed by some contrived reason for the characters to be crying about something.
>>
>>155933854
> Index a shounenshit
As if railgun is any better. Misaka is even more of a shounen MC than Touma ever is.
>>
>>155959406
You're not wrong, which is why I was never upset with it taking the 'turn' into the sisters arc. I enjoy most of Railgun's stories, but it was never meant to be an SoL anime or manga.
>>
>>155934521

Well, I can't deny that.

Given how long arcs take in the manga, those sol aspects are best left in Index I think. Sorta how they're usually in prologues or the first chapter.

>The only well written antogonist in the history of franchise<<---[ Discarded opinion ]
Like? You need to mention a good antagonist to prove your statement.

>A protagonist with actual development<<--- [ Discarded opinion ]
Typical deluded Railgun ass licker. She's still poor at the development generally regardless if it's Index or Railgun.

>Well choreographed and thought fights
This concept already belonged to Raildex regardless.

>Complete absence of coherent plot
It seems you are new when it come to Index plot. It first glance, Index volumes will be kind of random, but it the end all of this random volumes will come together to create something big at the last point. As an example, Wolrd war III.
>1-dimensional characters except Accel and Mikoto<<--- [ Discarded opinion ]
>Mikoto
Ass licker absolutely confirmed here.
Even though Mikoto with us since volume 1, a lot of character already exceeded her in term of character.
Hamazura, Aqua and Othinus.
Kamijou and Accelerator are the only ones deserved to be called well-written character if you take this Novel seriously & read it carefully.
>1-dimensional characters
Sorry, but Mikoto belongs to this category.
Like I said sense Volume she's with us, but many characters exceeded her in term of character. She had her potential in volume 15 - 16 to put herself in the next stage, but that didn't happen.

>Abysmal amounts of asspulls and bullshit talk in fights
It's an Idealism clash. Other series like code Geass use it also.
Surely, not all of them Is good and most of them are cliche.
However, there are some good ones also like Touma vs Accel in volume 20, Touma vs Fiamma in volume 22 etc etc.

From shounen heroine to tsundere to creepy stalker. Kuribot might possibly be the last antagonist Misaka faces who has nothing to do with Touma.

Othinus was just bullshitting him, making up false "arguments" as if he ruined anyone's life with his idealistic babble or intervention into affairs of other people. That's not challenge, but forced drama.

Yeah, that speech in Mikoto's defence in NT13 was clearly genuine and not just another load of idealistic bullshit like before.
Anon please. His whole development in the franchise is just him becoming more violent in the last volume.

The Othinusfags here probably only like her because she is openly a slut and doesn't wear clothes. If you ask them to justify her actions, they cannot possibly come up with an explanation within the bounds of logic of how she did no wrong. It's high time she got the painful death she deserved.

OT 1-11 and some of 12 is pretty bland and sets up characters, abilities, settings and so forth, etc. 13 and onward is when the story starts to move and shit gets real, if Battle Royal didn't hype you up then I question your taste.

NT3 is when things pick up for me but all in all NT get's very weird and has a lot of seinen tier moments. The Kamisato shit wasn't that bad but it get's pretty redundant and stretches on for too long.
>>
>>155975310
I wonder if Dengeki told Kamachi to drag on the gap between GREMLIN's arc and the new one. Assuming Index 3 is coming next year, they might've been trying to replicate Index 2 where it helped OT's climax tremendously.

Because NT11 could've been a side story and NT12/17 could've been reduced to 3-4 volumes.
