| Characters seem alright so far. That cliffhanger actually got pretty intense. |
 |
| I'm kind of surprised that I don't dislike Touma. And his "power" is pretty interesting. I like Biribiri just as I expected, but I also like Index. Even if this will only be pop-corn material, at least the characters are entertaining. |
| Good start, I'm already hooked and interested to see how the story continues. Dat loli sensei, tho xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Hm pretty underwhelming for a first episode tbh. I hope this gets better. |
| Touma seemed like an unnecessary character in Railgun. Although I knew he was the MC from the parent story when I watched it, I didn't really like his appearances as it took away from the focus on the girls without adding anything. After the first episode of Index I'm actually interested in Touma now, and Index herself also seems likeable. So a good start |

Bozzzz said: Bozzzz said: Was the beginning a flash back? Watched it again and it doesn't make sense. It seems like he meets Misaka for the first time and as next sciene is him waking up and every appliance is broken because of the lightning, it seems it's the next day. But Railgun eps 1-14 are supposed to take place before Index. How does that make sense???? Read the source for railgun and Index, and it aligns perfectly. AIM Burst (first arc of Railgun) is suppose to happen at the same time as Index Vol 1. In the manga, you can even see stiyl walking past Mikoto in the first few chapters as he went to get index. Touma meeting mikoto in episode 1 is suppose to be the same as the manga meeting in which she is asking about level upper. (the railgun anime changed all of this messing up the timeline). |

| Okay, okaaayyyy. Good start C: |
| So, I'm watching Toaru in chronological order. After the first 14 episodes of Railgun and an OVA, I think that I made a good choice to start Railgun first. This makes it easier to understand. Here, Touma was introduced in a way that I don't like so much buuuuut since I saw him in Railgun first, I think that is decent. About Index, I think that she works better as a running gag; however, it seems that she was wounded in the end of the episode. I want to know more about her story. |

| Awesome! Episode and like his right-hand a power that canceled everything sweet 🍭 |
 |
| Well, decided to start watching Index/Railgun in chronological order, when they came up.. Won't watch everything probably, or maybe in some months if not years, but here we go.. If I'll even like it of course.. Well, that brown haired girl seems to be very proud of her energy or something.. I hope her personality won't be full of herself girl or something.. Maybe this "holy sister" girl has no taste or something?.. I like her more than the other girl for now, though.. Her personality.. But well, I saw brown haired girl only in battle situation really for now.. Index, huh.. And also her magic name supposedly means about "protecting human's wisdom", hm.. Interesting, what does this mean.. So some "espers" is alright in this world, but not "magic".. Ok, lol.. ;p Damn.. He broke her clothes.. Just how much damage it is, I wonder?.. I mean, it's probably expensive or rare, or something outfit.. Damn, so unfortunate.. Poor Index.. Well, I'm glad if her robe is fixed.. I thought she's seriously in trouble.. So the guy's hand also undoes all the luck that god sends to humans, huh?.. Well, makes sense, I guess, he was really unfortunate with some things so far.. Well, that brown haired girl looks cute, so I expected better personality for her.. But well, it's only with her "enemy" so far, maybe she'll be more warm later to others or something.. But so far, yeah, question, if I'll actually like her.. I hope Index is alright.. Very.. romantic Ending, I'd even say.. Quite melodic as well, I like it.. ;p |
| I was really confused at te beginning, but I guess his power is that he just cancels every other power. But if this can help him survive against strong enemys? Furthermore I rly would like to know if he can rid of his bad luck. |
 |
| Pretty good start ig I'd like to see more of Misaka Mikoto |
 |
| First 2 seasons of Railgun down. Now to start on the Magical side of Academy city :D |
 |
| Thanks to Muse Asia broadcasting this tonight, finally i have been wanting to starting this for so long. i like the concept. When science and magic cross paths, the story begins. |

| Interesting first episode |
 |
| i didn't understand anything that happened whatsoever. |
 |
| Second time trying to give this anime a chance... The phones, landline and cell, should also not of worked due to the electrical shock, so he shouldn't have gotten any call on the landline and the cell getting croshed should not have mattered either. The cleaning machines at his apartment should not have working either. He canceled out Inex's clothes, which means the sorcerers wouldn't have been able to find her at his place or tack her down. So her leaving was a bad idea, she should have just stayed at his place. It is her leaving and being in the open that made her visible. Seems odd that people with "special abilities" would not know about "sorcery". I will keep watching, maybe they explain the difference. |

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating. |
| well pretty good start this has been sitting on my ptw list for years now thought id finally start it with the announcement of railgun s4 |
 |
| I decided to have a look through all the shows I've dropped over the years recently and there are a hand full that I feel like I was too harsh whenever I first watched them, and I want to give them a chance. Thought I'd start with this one :) Is Index voiced by the same VA as Rika? lol I swear it's the same VA The teacher is so cute <3 IIRC I first watched this back in like 2023 or 2022 and was pretty quick to drop it. Honestly don't know why. Index and the teacher are very cute, and I want to see where this goes. |
 |
| so it is actually better to start with railgun huh? ok.. anyway those windmills are unhealthy as hell so close to buildings.. sientific city my *ss |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
