I'm not really blaming them, all I'm saying is that it j.c. staff has to sell the product so they do have to stoop down a bit to do it with filler and other things not relevant. I love Raildex anime, I can't help that fact all I want to point out is that the ln, manga, rail gun manga are completely different from the adapts j.c. staff did. |

Nice review, I'm considering re-watching Toaru Majutsu no Index sometimes in the future again. Good times, good times.

Yeah, JC Staff messes up enough things without needing the extra blame for whatever the original novelist put it. |

Are you telling me that in late 2008/early 2009 that JC Staff was able to put in an arc from the Railgun manga that didn't start until 2009? |

That makes absolutely no sense. The problems I have with Index can all be traced directly back to the original work.
I suddenly get the idea that Cecil here has no idea what he is talking about. |

The Railgun manga didn't finish the events with Accelerator until AFTER the Railgun anime ended. Thats why those events weren't in the Railgun anime either. |

Precisely what filler in Index are you talking about? As far as I know, all of it is from the novels, with the possible exception of the last ~2 episodes of the first season. Also, filler isn't always bad. Case in point: Railgun. See also Kannagi and Toradora, which had one off "filler" (god I hate that word) episodes that were highly entertaining and completely in line with the rest of the show, but people who read the manga/novels pitched a fit about how terrible they were purely because they didn't exist in the original work.
Has it actually finished that arc yet? |

That arc didn't finish up in the Railgun manga until chapter 39, which wasn't even serialized until early to mid 2011. You clearly have no idea what you're saying. Volume 3 of the Index light novels deals with Misaka, her clones, and Accelerator. |

All in all, the review's basicly about the the first 14 eps not the rest of the series, and the second half will probably oblige more to nitpickers since in all honesty it dosn't quite match up to the first half.
as for railgun, I didn' finish that (maybe I will later) but I personally found the manga pretty sub-par compared to the acctual series. Its still fun because Misaka's doing something and we all wanted that, but compared to some of the stuff happening in the series I can't help but want to see something more major happen. |

okay you proved me wrong which is fine I accept it after looking it up. I could have sworn it happened earlier but that's my problem with being an drunkard. Everyone just ignore my other post in this thread.. I really need to calm down =_= Not only do i feel like a jack-ass, I'm embarrassed as hell and willing to admit manga is not my field of expertise. If not for wiki, I really would have carried on like a dumb ass ... aye Last edited by Cecilthedarkknight_234 on Mon Jul 02, 2012 2:41 am; edited 2 times in total |

I found Railgun's smaller scale, but more personal, stories to be far more engaging. Also, the two final battles in the Railgun anime (vs. spoiler[AIM Burst] and spoiler[Telestina (both forms)]) to be way cooler than anything Touma has ever done. Also Index has a tragic lack of A CERTAIN ORDINARY SCHOOLGIRL |

They're pretty much cooler because Misaka's got the powers to do more stuff than Touma, either way, its your opinion against mine which ultimatly means nothing. And are you talking about saten? she could possibly appear here and there in the series, but IMHO its best she stays in Railgun with BiriBiri's group. |

Its almost as if she has a versatile ability that allows her to adapt to various situations, instead of the story having to contort itself so that the enemy can always be defeated by a punch to the face!
I'll make you a deal, Saten stays in Railgun, Touma stays in Index. |
