Toaru Majutsu no Index

[Salle79]

The series i excellent actually. Only drawback i could see is that the main story really didn't progress. Allot of the series was focused around side/support character deverlopment. The slow progression of main story is (ofcourse) that there will be a second season. And for people who complains about Touma, he will probably face a huge change and progess during the second season as the main plot starts to progress.

I got to the end and felt that was a great introduction to the characters.. now lets move on to the story... but the season was over.  I hope there's a continuation.

Yeah, we're only one third of the way through the published material.

Holy shit Accelerator is awesome. He should get a spinoff of his own... A Certain Mathematical Vector. 
Touma is such an average harem lead...

Last Order is a cuter loli than Index too! (although the repetition of her name gets a little old)

The more accurate name would be A Certain Mathematical Accelerator, since they use the name, rather than the abilities (A Certain Magical Index, A Certain Scientific Railgun, A Certain Mathematical Accelerator). とある数学の一方通行. To Aru Suugaku no Accelerator. Pretty cool name.

I was going for a two syllable word to fit with the pattern, but what the heck.

[Southrop]

I realized, but it doesn't sound right, since Vector isn't his "name" xD

[quekmeister]

When transliterating into Japanese, the syllable count gets thrown out the window anyway.

[Southrop]

Very true. Index is 4 syllables, Railgun is 3. On the other hand, Accelerator is 6.

[quekmeister]

So I'm finally done with this show, and to be honest, it's not as bad as I thought it would be (and hence, why I didn't pick it up from the start).
Touma is about as average a lead as you can get, but the other characters kinda make up for it, especially all the bits concerned with Misaka and her duplicates.
Some of the esper powers I were very well thought out, especially Accelerator's, though the magic stuff pushed it a little for me.
There isn't much rewatch value for a series like this (to me), but I'll probably catch Railgun when it comes out.

Don't forget to vote for Mikoto in the International Saimoe League!

I need a 2nd season or if not every novel is adapted meaning that the ending of the first series is unfinished, please produce a 2nd season!!!

This one is great but

(click to show/hide)

too episodic!

Actually I couldn't see a red thread Either because I watched it in one rush or because it's 7 a.m. now in my timezone and I'm going to bed now xD

That's why: Second Season!!

I'm pretty sure Railgun's not actually officially a "second season" but a side story thingy, and Index will resume next year. Maybe they need to stall time to wait for the light novel or something, but that doesn't seem right because there are 20 volumes of light novel out according to Wikipedia.

Oh, a true second season... Eh, well I don't really care about Touma... So Railgun is good enough for me. ^^

Misaka is way hotter than Index.

You said it. Which Misaka, though? I'm partial to Misaka Imouto myself.

Piece of junk anime, I didn't mention that, did I? Naruto/DBZ-like.
