A Certain Magical Index (light novel)
| This discussion should be brought here cuz sooner or later a Mod is going to see the ep 23 thread. Please give your opinions and reasons on why or why not Index III or Railgun II. Spoilers are allowed but put tags. No FLAMING and respect others opinions. Debate maturely K ill start, I dont hate Railgun at all, Though i did stop halfway and didn't really care much about the end. The characters aren't necessarily bad and yes ut has its comedy, Its nothing less of a great show. But since a majority of viewers are most likely Index novel readers they know whats coming, and whats coming is much better than a railgun. It also works for misaka fans in season 3. I also wouldn't mind a railgun if Shana wasn't coming this season but since it is i am not waiting 2 years or more for a season 3. Heres what u can expect from a season 3 of index. Heres what u can most likely expect from Railgun II,sorry if its offensive |

| I'll go for Index III. I wish they'll give Kaori Kanzaki more screentime :] |
 |
| Both. But I think Shakugan no Shana Final Season should come first from J.C.Staff. Then Railgun 2 and Index 3. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Shana 3. |
 |
| I would prefer an index season 3 over railgun season 2 because I'm more interested in the over all storyline than the spin off full of fillers. Don't get me wrong both of them have their pros and cons but I'd rather watch Touma's BS speeches and hax powers than watch Makoto hang out with her friends. |
| I do prefer an Index III than a Railgun II because of the plot, not that railgun is bad but just not as good as Index, but either way, none is better than the other it all depends on your taste. |
SuperSaiyen said: Index III Railgun sucks the first time I agree with LoGH fan... |
| I want more accelerator....so I go with Index III. |
Onibokusu said: Shana III. i don't expect it this year,so im not going to be ignorant about it. This is also a "If it happens" thread. Though to be honest I wanted to like Shana but Season 2 is a bit boring. I got to ep 8. MMclarinet23 said: I want more accelerator....so I go with Index III. An arc is dedicated to him. |

Though to be honest I wanted to like Shana but Season 2 is a bit boring. I got to ep 8. Why even bother making this thread if you just want Index III? Also, it's early in the year. I made the thread to find others opinions on the matter and not to make mine the only one. Others say Index 3, i don't make them. You want to say railgun 2 just give ur reason why. I dont support the flaming like SuperSaiyen did cuz it leads to shitstorms. Sorry if u found it offensive about my opinion of shana. I just though of it like that but like index i heard from my friend its really good so im definitely giving it a try. Kinda funny how JC staff messes up on the second seasons for the LN adaptations they do. |

| Railgun II I never even finished Index. It just wasnt really interesting. Though, on the other hand i though Railgun was really good. It deserves a second season!! |

I mean, it isn't as if your first post is biased enough. According to your list, you haven't even watched Railgun. Also, it's early in the year. There's a high chance that there'll be a SnS III, y'know, considering it actually has some backing. Um, it was already said that they are making a Shana 3. Thats why i said it'll be a long wait. What do you mean by backing? |

| Honestly I would want BOTH... Based on some of my previous comments some people think I'm a HATER....but that's not true...in fact I DO like the Index series....just not as much as RAILGUN. If I had to choose between the two, I would obviously pick RAILGUN II. I love the characters and the setting, that's my reason. As for Index III, I would accept it.....BUT, J.C Staff has to do a better job, Index II is confusing and not that great. Overall, I hope both series get better and more popular, also, I have not ill feeling towards Index fans who don't like Railgun. |
| After what they did with the Railgun adaptation (I hated the Anime tough I love the Manga), Index III definitely. Index II had its flaws (most notably the fact it targeted LN readers exclusively), but at least I am getting what I expect it to be. |

Index II makes things REALLY confusing unless you're a LN reader, that's kinda UNFAIR. Most anime try to make the story understandable to EVERYONE, regardless if you have read the LN or Manga or Visual Novel, however J.C Staff only cares about LN readers....WTF??? |

It is unfair, though i don't think they really count people outside of japan. Cuz inside its one of those series that if someone messes up Fan Rage takes over. Its a good thing i read the books and if anything in animesuki the translators for the novels and the experts are there to answer any questions. You can also look at it this way. If a season 3 is made the ideal start is V.14. Index season I adapted Volumes 1-6. Season 2 adapted 7-SS1 which is alot. Compared to season 1 season 1 explained everything due to the fact they had time. The reason they probably shoved SS1 in is cuz of Shiage and GROUP which is the other kind of fanservice. I myself got a little tickle hearing Terra just mention the name Fiamma. Novel readers thought SS would be an OVA but now that i think about it OVAs are usually for something totally irrelevant where SS is very relevant even in the recent novel that came out.A necessary sacrifice. |

| You should have put up a poll, Index III, Railgun II, or both. As for my answer; Confucius said: Both |

| From my posts in the episode 23 thread, I obviously want a Index III and since gets really good with the next arc being Accelerator (my favorite badass being badass) centered, God's Right Seat arc starting up, and hopefully The only way I'll accept a Railgun II is if it's only 12 episodes long and purely cannon with less fanservice episodes and more emphasis on Misaka wrecking shit up. Also, Index III needs to be done by a different studio and director. Seriously, JC Staff pretty much raped this season in the worst ways possible for anime viewers with tons of QUALITY moments, prolonging an arc that could've been shortened, leaving tons of plotholes, and shortening an arc that was supposed to be one of the best of the series just to throw in a side story volume. Index I had good enough pacing so we wouldn't get lost at every turn and decent to good animation, but for Index II they decided to ride on the success of the first season and Railgun and just went with it. This series deserves better especially with the upcoming volumes. |

| pfft, no toaru majutsu no index III or toaru kagaku no railgun II. I want a toaru kagaku no accelerator=3 but seriously, i wouldn't mind. I rather have index III, seeing what they currently are doing with the anime, but i loved railgun. |

LOL. The only way I'll accept a Railgun II is if it's only 12 episodes long and purely cannon with less fanservice episodes and more emphasis on Misaka wrecking shit up. ^ This.. I've had arguments becuz of the railgun manga messing with the fight between Touma and Misaka on the bridge and he stopped her railgun dead with his hand.

"alexcamposs" said: The first half was pretty accurate to the manga, unfortunately they didn't have enough material to keep going with the manga so they did an ANIME ONLY story in the second half. The alternative: make it only 1-cour series and use additional budget to either: 1. spend on next season of Railgun to make it better 2. spend on TAMNI by making it 3-cour and thus make it less confusing rather then this freaking mess we have now "alexcamposs" said: Most anime try to make the story understandable to EVERYONE, regardless if you have read the LN or Manga or Visual Novel, however J.C Staff only cares about LN readers....WTF??? Usually, this would be an economically a bad idea. However, if the novels are popular and there are many readers, you will still profit... tough of course it would have been even more profitable if the targeted audience was wider. BUT J.C. Stuff is afraid of series longer then 2-cour it seems... as most studios these days... If TAMNI S2 was a 3-cour series, it would have been much better. Tough I knew it would have been a mess when I heard that number of novels animated would be even bigger then in S1... which was also almost turned into a mess by animating way too many novels... but the Direction lessened the negative effect. "IndexFanboy214" said: Novel readers thought SS would be an OVA but now that i think about it OVAs are usually for something totally irrelevant where SS is very relevant even in the recent novel that came out.A necessary sacrifice. It SHOULD have been an OVA. This way, the end of S2 feels weird... ending it with Vento arc would have been a better conclusion. "TheMetalOverlord" said: From my posts in the episode 23 thread, I obviously want a Index III and since gets really good with the next arc being Accelerator (my favorite badass being badass) centered, God's Right Seat arc starting up, and hopefully And I agree with Accelerator: he is da best... the third protagonist also feels better then Touma IMO "legomaple" said: I want a toaru kagaku no accelerator=3 In Index III he becomes the main protagonist of the story (alongside Touma and another guy but who cares about 'em?) so you want that then. Railgun II might also have Accelerator |

| ^I dont feel like organizing quotes so i'll respond like this. 1)2 cour is fine.But too much in 1 season is too much. 2)Season 1 was perfect i heard. Yes some stuff left out but i didn't read the novels back then and i still knew what was going on. Only got confused with stuff thats was too scientific. 3)Heres the thing an OVA again is totally irrelevant to anything. Movies also. I believe they are going for Volume 14 prologue which is a very good way to end it. If they go for the SS epilogue I'll be pissed since it doesn't leave a cliffhanger. V.14 epilogue 4) 5) im waiting for V.19 to be translated to see more GROUP badassery. |

jpem said: hmm id say shana 3 as other's are saying. i liked index for a while but it got really meh and pointless. theres no coherent plot so far from what ive watched. not that shana has much of one either but that cliff hanger at the end of the ova made me actually give a slight shit about finding out what happens.(not much though, just more than index) as far as railgun goes its a fail mix of action and slice of life. it doesnt excel in either and it also destroyed misaka's character imo, for what little screen time she gets in a series about her. when i watch a series supposed to be about her i dont want to have to sit through all of her annoying friends problems for half the series. u should watch the first video on the first page to see what comes if a season 3 happens. There is a reason why index is the #1 novel. |

| Is there even material for a Railgun II... ? I'd stick to the main series, since it's finally starting to get interesting. So, Index III please. |
Is there even material for a Railgun II... ? The 2nd Arc in Manga just ended so there is enough for a 1-cour series. With fillers, they probably could stretch it to 2-cour... like they did with S1... |
|
| Both. Seriously, it is the best thing with this universe, a flamewar between fans just ruin everything. Personally, I was really happy with index 2. index 1 was slow sometimes, but season 2 is perfect and clearer, and the global quality is A LOT better than the first season. Railgun was awesome until ep13. After this, there were good things and bad things. I want a railgun with less fillers, or with GOOD fillers, like some parts of railgun 13+. With Merry, Shana, ZnT,Index and Railgun, JC staff will have quite a lot of work... Well, at least they still have time before a sequel to HnG... |
Onibokusu said: IndexFanboy214 said: There is a reason why index is the #1 novel. Because 'The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya' isn't released until May of this year? I guess. Idk i gotta finish that series. But i guess since the novel hasn't been going on for a long time. It doesn't change it's love from the fans though. In October 2009, the Toaru Majutsu no Index light novels were reported to have sold 5.2 million copies.[24] In May 2010, it was reported that Toaru Majutsu no Index had sold over 7.7 million copies and became Dengeki Bunko's No. 1 bestseller.[25] Later that year, in August 2010, it was reported that the novels had hit 9 million copies sold[26] and became the fifth best selling light novel in Japan, beating other popular series such as Full Metal Panic!, Shakugan no Shana, and Haruhi Suzumiya.[27] In November 2010, it was reported that the novels had sold over 10 million copies.[28] and its new novel that came out March 11 rack a total of 121,410 copies sold. I'll admit though that they haven't beat Haruhi. But thats something VERY big and u have to give credit to index for at least being some competition to Haruhi. |
