I don't even read the LN and I'm depressed right now [/spoiler]

DarknessReality said:

Also can someone explain to me what all this "Cant stand her reaction when Touma came in" thing. Im an anime only and that blonde has had like 3 seconds of screentime so Im confused. Cause I took that scene as Misaki thinking "Oh she has a boyfriend" sort of thing and deciding to mess with Misaka but if people are reacting this way then theres clearly something else Im missing.

SInce you dont seem like you will ever read Index :

DarknessReality said:


Hmm, interesting. Thanks for letting me know cause yeah I wouldnt read the LN.

ssjokg said:


Yeah, At first, before they drop that bomb everyone thought she was referring to his complete memory loss back in Index I.But it turned out to be so much worse.

By the way, I still don't like Satan. The skirt gimmick has NEVER been funny. At least with Kuroko the psycho lesbian stuff has some variance - with Satan it's the same old gag over and over. Uiharu needs to get a pair of Misaka shorts and shut down that bitch Satan.

Zaphkiel_El_Rem said:
Yes...... In a sense, out of all the girls that Touma saved, she's the most tragic heroine.

I was afraid about Railgun after seeing Index 3.
Thankfully, it's pretty good. And many thanks to Gremlin that is fixing official trash subs.

Railgun is adopted from manga.

Damn son spicy ep

Misaka's clone was the highlight of this ep
thats some sick dodges

hazarddex said:
honestly i am going to put my foot down here.

if people are going to continue to treat the LN like dirt even if they never have read it then they shouldn't be given an explanation

railgun is explicitly a side story and it always will be. as such it expects you to KNOW whats going on.

if they don't want to be invested with the series then they should stop asking people to explain things they could literally learn on their own. it's beginning to really annoy me.

I still have problems with their "Isn't it fun to do sport competitions ?!" way of thinking or the way the teachers think the event is extremely important. It's just some annoying event than more than half of the student would try to skip or be involved in the less possible in real life.

I suppose it's just like the clubs, japanese are maybe way more into these kind of stuff than we are in my country...

ssjokg said:


Really?

You have a bunch of schools were students that are just Level 4 can fight off entire battalions,dont you think that gathering data even in that environment is important?
We just saw a school of low levels beating one of the top schools.
It is the best way to decide what can be improved or not.

Not to mention the profit AC would have from all the visitors coming to see ESPERS, their main selling point, fighting.

Koldmotro said:



If it's really the point they should organize real battles/tournaments... I doubt having datas about destroying little balls while using or not (because no one in the students attacking the sister use his ability so 0 data) is so relevant...

ssjokg said:


Yeah sure lets have them literally kill each other. As if the already build up tension between them isnt enough. And lets have their parents watch as well. That will be great marketing.

And Level 0s beating level 3 or higher is very valuable.Even more valuable than power x beating power y.

It is pointless to have the power to fire beams that decimate warships if some punk without any power can beat you, or worse almost kill you, because he can use his head more. TWICE.

And no I am not talking about Touma.


Also even if they had powers, they assumed it is the Level 5 Misaka Mikoto. Would you attack someone like her because she supposedly is banned from using her powers?
Forget the festival, she isnt allowed to use them in general but she goes out of her way to stop criminals with excessive force and the only reason she isnt always in and out of an Anti-Skill office is because a) Kuroko makes up some bullshit or b) she leaves the scene.
And that's not counting every time she used deadly force on Touma because she wanted a duel.

Koldmotro said:

You can fight without killing... nearly everyone with a level 3 capacity can kill someone easily but they still can fight without doing so. Look Kuroko wich is one of the character of toaru who can kill groups of people instantly, still fight quite often without killing anyone.

In the competition of the 3rd episode student do fight each other in front of their parents and it don’t seem to bother anyone.

If your are studying abilities then you are more interested in confrontation of power than in weak people who use traps to win because this situation will not ask espers to use their abilities a lot. Being interested in how can low levels can win is studying psychology and strategy not ESP and it’s not something student of the academy city have to study so it looks like it doesn’t interest Aleister so much. Touma is a false weak that would be dead against accelerator the first time if accelerator wasn’t so stubborn and the other guy who beat Mugino is just some lucky random. Even « winning » 2 times against her doesn’t make him strong in any way. The only thing that those fight shows is that lvl 5 are arrogants and by not being serious when fighting sometimes you don’t have luck. I hope they didn’t need those example to understand that...

As for either they would attack Mikoto if she want to use is ability if she is in danger then using your ability or just punch her is as dangerous. They have no way to tell if she would prefer loosing because she shocked someone or because they broke her ball. It’s dangerous anyway and depends only on the personality of Mikoto. They could have use ability in an authorized way and she couldn’t that’s the fact.

and then the clones again fell victom...or is it just me

death604 said:

just because you don't like sports competition and you stay away from it doesn't mean that everyone would feel the same way. rofl, your ideology literally contradicts the existance of the olympics people shouldn't be competing there or even watching it right?

half the students should ditch it? its a competition between schools hence the pride of the school is on the line, so even if the student doesn't want participate i don't see why the school board wouldn't force them to participiate and give incentives because again the school name is on the line.

Koldmotro said:


I don’t think more than half of the people who are able to access a diffusion of olympics are interested in it. But even if only 20% are it’s more than enough to make a huge fuss. Look at Kobe’s death, I’m sure less than 5% of the people on internet knew him but it still looks like everyone is talking about it.

As for why students are willing to participate so much I think it’s because it’s a fiction and it wouldn’t make sense otherwise. I mean, the author will not make his characters hate his story right ? And I don’t know if it’s some anime effect but Japanese people looks particularly interested into events and collective stuff.

Anyway I’m just indicating something that bother me because it’s the point of this place: giving feedback. And I hate Japanese school live/sports anime mentality and since it’s something we very rarely saw in toaru until railgun T... Yeah it’s quite bother me, but I’m sure that’s not something than most people will notice or even if they do they will maybe like it idk

Misaki and touma.....god...why?
these who watch railgun for "CUTE GIRL ONLY" and complain about touma pisses me ,
Railgun Story itself need the other side to keep the story interesting,it called World Building

don't get me wrong i like CGDCT but Raildex is interesting because of the characters,and the world,if you want cute girl only anime go watch azur len or something

Comander-07 said:
Im already more interested in this sports event than in the entire plot of Index 3.

Even the CGI looks leagues above anything from Index. Im really glad JC has its priorities right.

Comander-07 said:


And the sports event isnt even the main plot apparently. All Level 5s except for Misaka are insane in some way. Go save your sister!

Tsumilk said:
It is more a question of circumstances than priorities. Index III was fucked up so they are trying to save the toaru.project with railgun. If Railgun T was the one aired in Fall 2018, not sure it would have looked like this.

ssjokg said:
Oh come on, we dont have to lie. They always put more effort in Railgun.

Tsumilk said:
Not gonna lie, it is somehow not wrong. But I would better say the Index director being awful does not help to mobilize effort and people for him and his project.

ssjokg said:
If the studio cared they would pick someone else.

ssjokg said:


Yeah nearly killing people, seemingly everyday, because you have no common sense is sane.




Oh come on, we dont have to lie. They always put more effort in Railgun.

Comander-07 said:
Then coincidentally Index is always fucked up and Railgun is always there to save the IP.

Like I said, priorities on point.

Tsumilk said:
Of course if you see that way I can't deny this. But I don't think the index adaptations always being bad is just results of priorities, of course circumstances & other factors matter. There is no valid reason to intentionally fucked it up.

But it is the case, unfortunetely. :(

Comander-07 said:

Like I said, priorities on point. Nani?

Comander-07 said:
The other way around really. It would be a stretch to say its outside factors EVERY SINGLE TIME. Its always a coincidence. The reality is they care more about Railgun.

ssjokg said:
Sane people dont fire railguns at others , be it robbers, or some misfortunate Level 0.

I mean, would you call someone sane if they had a gun and used it for whatever minor or major inconveniences?

In her case it is even worse since her powers are more dangerous than any gun.

Sure, when a villain is around he shoudl go all out. But Anti Skill and Judgement are there for the everyday punks.

Tsumilk said:
I did not say it is a coincidence. It is obvious that in some way they care more about Railgun. Just sayin' that the index director being really bad at his job, and the railgun one being good & other stuff are also part of the problem.
It is not since Index III that we know Index adaptations are way lower than what it supposed to be or than the railgun always are.

Comander-07 said:
thats a very convulated way to say "Yes they care more about Railgun"
