Kek what?
Lots of anime original stuff in the PV
Never thought I'd have zero interest in any form of Raildex media. But Accel's anime/manga is just not my cake. Feels so filler-y and bland. I'll still watch it, tho.
It will be Gunha on the front
I am completely indifferent.
Watch it to shitpost?
Another one with the ED and some more scenes.
>Watch it to shitpost?
Also out of respect for the younger version of me who got no Raildex anime for 5 years.
I'm gonna say it. I think the Accel OP sounds great and could be the best OP in the whole Raildex animated universe if JC Staff makes good animation.
The anime original stuff here actually looks good, so that's pretty impressive in itself, actually expanding DA in a way that seems believable and obviously more actual Accelerator interactions
Estelle's funbags got an upgrade
A decent amount of anime only stuff in there. I'm fine with this if it helps the story flow better and doesn't go pants on the head retarded like Railgun's filler.
My wife Leader is so cute.
Look at him enjoying those boobs pressing against his weak baby body, he's so cool isn't he?
>monkey paw Index III and Railgun 3
>Accelerator comes along for the ride
>gets the best treatment out of the three
Can't fucking wait for Hishigata. One of the few reasons I'm looking forward to this.
The ED is nice too.
Cool but where are the nude scenes
Hishigata's voice is exactly how I imagined. I assume the one saying "found you" is Leader, so I can't wait to hear the other Scavengers as well.
>neither OP or ED has a death metal scream
I haven't been so disappointed in an index adaptation
The artist who drew this predicted the future!
Based. It's about time we got male vocals in a Raildex OP. Mami Kawada and Kurosaki Maon got old after a decade of hearing them.
>filler
Cursed franchise.
This looks better than Railgun filler though
Who gives a shit. LN content will only get butchered to hell as it already has.
>LN content
Accel manga has an awkward as fuck beginning with Esther just running into his room. I welcome the anime adding something to make it start off better.
The manga is already filler.
I assumed he was calling the anime as a whole filler. If he's complaining about the specific original scenes, other people have already said it actually ties into the main plot and should help fix Arata's pacing.
I feel like Accel's anime has a younger target demographic than Index/Railgun
You seriously can't think this when Railgun 1 was marketed like a SoL
Solfags are actually more adults manchildren]/spoiler] but this feels like it's doubling down on how immaturely edgy the manga can be, which would imply it's trying to get more teens into the series which it probably does need
Accelerator at its core isn't even anymore edgy than Index is. If anything Railgun's anime stands out by having its filler fit a different tone from the other two. But even then Railgun can get pretty stupid edgy just look at Raifu
Accelerator's VA and LO being LO are the only thing I look forward to.
Completely disagree. Touma's constant motivational speeches and his antagonists almost always getting a chance at redemption and surviving are what I'd consider targeting a younger demographic.
Why did Kamachi write the Accel manga if it had no bearing on Accel as a character and the story overall? That's wasteful of resources
I look forward LO being cute and funny
>He still thinks Kamachi writes the spinoff and not just a very rough set of ideas
>he thinks Kamachi decides what gets a spin-off
I didn't think freckles would be IMAGINE-tier based on the first PV.
How is it that she's looking more and more better than anything Nagai came up with?
Well Accel had primarily high schoolers voting for him but Touma had college students primarily. I don't think violence is seen as a mature thing
Blond Itsuwa...
>magic side's misamisa, but shit
Meh.
>magic side's misamisa, but they're not braindead Touma orbiters
fixed
Is Mugino really this nuts or is it the translation?
Oh hey it's Anna
They didn't censor this? Wow, yes that's legit. Kamachi does go a bit wild sometimes like with Amata and semen
Mugino is batshit insane, but the anime cut that part.
What part of her face in Railgun did you not understand?
Too bad Touma is predisposed to violence then.
Mugino is batshit crazy and yes, she said that,
In comparison Accel’s redemption seems more mature than Touma’s moralfaggotry since he consistently works for it in the LN, but if a teen is just being introduced to the series the edgy “punishment” angle is what baits them.
So wait..... do we know how many episodes Accelerator is yet? Most people were expecting a single cour since it's just adapting the 1 arc, are they going to adapt the arc and a filler arc? Sure it's better than any of the Index seasons pacing wise but still that's a bit worse than what Railgun had to deal with if it's still just a single cour.
It's not a whole filler arc, they're just additional scenes which I think will all be in episode 1. Like how Railgun S episode 1 was filler before getting into the real plot.
I've never heard of teens liking moralfags. Tokyo Ghoul wasn't popular among adults in Japan. In the first place, Accel is an expy of OT Touma in NT.
The vagina burning part is one of the funniest things anyone said in OT. People often cite pre punch Accel and Kakine as the craziest but Mugino is easily on another level. It also helps that her insanity is borderline mental illness according to Hamazura.
1 cour and probably not more than 12 eps since they're starting mid July
>I've never heard of teens liking moralfags.
How do you think Shounen Jump made it this far?
People don't like Naruto because he's a moral-fag. They like him because he's powerful and charismatic. This has been a pretty constant theme throughout history that charismatic people with the barest amount of ability tend to rise to the top.
Desu I think they're both more aimed at teens as far as what they deal with. Unrealistic stuff like Sisters and NT9 aside they deal with a duality of growing up issues. Accel figuring out what he wants to be, Touma needing to let go of things, etc. Hamazura's harder to pin though since he has an ongoing relationship, isn't a student anymore, isn't prodigy, but doesn't have a major malfunction. But back to the topic, I doubt the age gap between any characters for polling would be big
The new D.A characters definitely won’t be in a single episode user, not especially since they took a decent bit of the PV
It's pretty normal for PVs to only show content from episode 1.
It’s pretty abnormal to make three new throwaway characters when the source material already had no name mooks take their place
Accelerator isn't even in the same league, even back then. In NT6, Mugino straight up called his sins "innocent" lol
Kakine isn't the crazy type, not sure where people got that. He's full hatred and is apathetic but not flat out insane.
Welcome to raildex anime
That’s not how Raildex anime works at all
There’s no way scavenger, both D.A mechs and all is entirely episode 1
Adaptations aren't going to be 100% the same as their source. If they need to add things to make a smoother introduction then that's what they will do.
The adaptation isn’t going to be 100% that’s why it’s obvious they’re expanding D.A by giving them more characters to sprinkle across the episodes, you don’t even see the OG D.A guy from the manga in the PVs and the two mooks who attacked the hospital is still there as well, it’s pretty clear they’re setting them up to have a bigger role than the manga
Rereading the manga, it's crazy how Yomikawa looks better in chapter 1 than in the most recent chapter. His art actually got worse.
Only a madman would threaten to stomp on cute flowers.
Arata did draw the covers too right?
Because they are actually fairly decent.
I have NO idea why he is like this.
Is that Mugino's VA?
You’re going on a bit of tangent here, pal. I won’t disturb your headspace any further.
Anyone have the link to the official Roar AMV? I think it was posted in the OP a couple of days ago
HOW CAN INDEX III EVEN FUCKING COMPETE?
>bike of love
Bros. I think we have the winner for the Accelbowl.
I ain't even mad.
AWWWW YEAAAAHHH I can't wait for their cameo in Railgun 3
Yes, Mikoto.
Saiai/Frenda tier in height.
Are these the only well-animate parts of Index 3? What a fucking sham
Has Estelle even appeared outside the Accel manga? Like in NT or Railgun?
W-wew lad. She's absolutely tiny
Only Idol Accel so far.
Imagine her pregnant with that tight bodysuit
anti-Nagai bias?
Personally, I'm not expecting good things from anime-only content, but on the other hand, the entire manga is already like Nagaispace as is.
>Accelerator looks better than Index III
When I come back from this shithole, I'm gonna rage
Accel doesn't do anything in Railgun ever again and Estelle has never been mentioned in Index
It's totally fucking me up. She seemed at least Mugino size or taller, especially with her face. Now it looks like you can bully her by putting things on the top shelf.
Can't wait to see Siscon go through 2-3 episodes of slowly bleeding to death
Being inconsequential to the main plot and being Nagaispace are two very different things.
If I had believed that it was not the case, I'd have called Railgun Nagaispace as well.
Wasn't the first shot we saw of her Accelerator or something punching from below her? What was he doing, lying on the fucking ground?
That was Yomikawa who was doing some kind of weird maneuver.
Still weird considering she's apparently 3 feet tall
RAILGUN MANGA APPEARANCE WHEN?
Who is this sassy lost child?
Hishigata did literally nothing wrong.
Kyousuke would've agreed.
>Accelerator saying "stop" that we didn't get from the Kakine battle...
I don't think you understand the problem with Nagaispace in the first place, that being said the girl shown here already has more character than the likes of Febri and Haruue so he isn't far off in saying that
So a cripple can ride a bike now?
This is worse than Nagai and Nishikiori fillers now.
I guess you tried friend
So the anime is only going to cover the Accel manga's first arc? Lame. Scavenger and the blonde loli arcs are so much better.
>Scavenger and the blonde loli arcs are so much better.
But this is the arc the Scavengers are in. What are you talking about?
There is no arc before the scavenger arc dumbass. We're only on the second arc now.
I didn't expect that fight to have the results that it had
I did. Coronzon had already ran away from magic gods once before, why would she have done any better than she did?
It was one magic god this time, the first time ran from the entire gang.
So?
Infinity divided by (what, 50 or so?) is still infinity
She ran because it was too many and might have been able to win a 1v1
You have literally no reason to think this. The only thing Coronzon EVER showed was that she was very durable. There was zero reason to think that she ran from the magic gods because she could totally take them if they went one at a time. You absolutely know those battle maniacs would have gone easy on her, and they did, so if she could have dealt with them she would have.

wtf I love dead girls now?
Which is which? Is this one of MP's tricks again?
I wanna see the smelly squid in the Accel anime's style.
You're just labeling age ranges to tropes now?
All lns are targeted to young teens all the same except no one cares to age rate books and if they do no one takes them seriously.
But hey if saying Touma attempting to reason with another character is by your definition not very mature; then I wonder what kind of shitty adults you had to meet to get that impression.
Green is the right one.
Why does NT 11-NT 14 always seen to be the problem when people try to made 5 seasons for NT?
Who are the two on the left?
I love frenda!
W-We're gonna get a Railgun 3 PV with new animated scenes soon, right?
I just want them to confirm whether or not dream ranker will be adapted. All the cool stuff in the Daihaseisai arc happens towards the end so it's not like the PV would be exciting.
It's gonna be like Index III and Accel, user. Only the first couple of episodes' scenes will be used in the PV. But then again we have Scavengers in silhouette and they don't start fucking shit up until in the middle of the arc so I could be wrong.
I should teach my friend to say Sogii (with double ii) or Gunha properly this time
Absolutely based
>implying the music of A Certain Singer and her best friend ever get old

Those are some "I've seen some shit" eyes.

You could ask him.
>he's still at it
This is the first time I'm asking, please ;-; you're talking about another user.
>You have literally no reason to think this
It did say that she didn't want to really try to kill Niang Niang and was just providing cover fire for Hamazura, so technically he does have a reason. I personally think Coronzon was a weird, clever, and specialized enemy that could probably do anything with enough time, which I liked since it contrasts the MGs preset abilities that they can activate instantly.

Hey-zuus pls. Shouldn't you be curb stomping israel right now?
Do we have any info on Railgun III? PV or key visual etc.
>flatkawa
K I N O
We already have a key visual (with the wrong shorts).
PV probably after accelerator airs
Wait at least until after Accel airs. They probably don't want to cannibalize each other's marketing. If nothing happens then fear for the worst.
So when normally girls start to grow some hair down there?
Depends on how developed they are but in anime, never unless you're going for a specific fetish
Coronzon has the coolest power of any big arc antagonist and pure magic will be a big thing in part 3 I bet
high school.
>the absolute state of Niang Niang
Flaming sword was cool but I don't know about the hair stuff.

I am unironically more hype for Accel than I am for more seasons of Index or Railgun at this point, hot damn.
I love Mikoto
I love Accel-tan.
Will we see doujins of Mikoto giving electric training to Seike-tan's Seike-tan?
I lose my shit every time Touma just glances over his shoulder.
I bet licking a magic god's bald pussy would be heavenly
you have too much hair
Will this ever be translated?
The novel is
I meant the manga
the manga is an adaptation of the novel
Probably not, it got prematurely ended due to licensing stuff anyways so it wasn't complete
The manga adapted the entire novel though
But I like drawings more than letters
Did it? I swear it skipped some stuff near the end
Did the game also have licensing issues I thought there was something that came up with sales on it?

Read, nigga, read
manga is an objectively better medium than LNs, don't let anyone tell you otherwise
(You)
Well only 1% of LNs are worth reading so you're not wrong
cope
Is it really only uploaded to AB?
I have no idea where it's up. I'm talking about the titles my own copy has.
Buy the BDs
I agree. I won't discount R/a/ildex opinion about reading, but no anime adaptation will ever do a well-made manga justice.
>Manga are better than LNs
>I agree, manga are indeed better than anime
Thanks captain obvious
>Please dont point out that I'm not actually agreeing and made a tangent while trying to make it sound like I had backing.
People are biased towards NT8-10 and sacrifice other arcs to make it "perfect," when it's perfectly possible to split all the arcs into their own seasons. Adapting the side stories is unnecessary.
I’m a Railgun fan!
She's here boys, hide your (you)s.
I do not like this series
I’m currently watching attack on titan while I wait for the next volume of Railgun and AB so don’t worry.
I think it's more so that 5-6 volumes is just a good median for how much to cover in a season, and NT10-12 are all perfectly fine stopping points for a season. It's a lot easier to pick a spot to end a season there than it is afterwards, go 5 a season and end on NT10 or 6 a season and end on NT12 (or toss SS2 in there somewhere). But it gets a lot harder to decide where you should be halting midway through Kamisato's arc since a lot of it is connected to the volume previous.
Was a reason ever given?
>NT 12 6 episodes
What the actual fuck, St Germaine please you barely need half those episodes for how little happens in NT12.
NT15 is a good ender desu
It's not hard at all.
NT1-6
NT7-12
NT13-17
5-6 a season as you said, done.
I doubt the anime will ever make it past NT10/11
They should just skip NT11 and leave that for Railgun/AB anime
Maybe he's throwing in a filler episode of Index and Othinus shopping, you don't know his life
I think people are hesitant to put NT8-10 in the 6 volume season though is more the point. Because it's the climax of an arc and a definitive moment for two characters. That said if you trimmed either NT11 or NT12 down a bit or both, and threw those episodes at them it'd probably be fine.
Kamikoto in NT22R!
Kamachi really needs to soft reset the series
Did you salute your Commander today?
>Fucking accel needs a fucking bike
It took Araki 20 years, i think he can do a few more
I can believe it because he's partially cripped, he even uses a helmet like a good boy.
Why waste battery? Especially when he needs to drag the jew around apparently?
If by salute you mean masturbate then yes.
>Its good to end on Kamisato losing his hand
I mean, if you want a cliffhanger ending suddenly every volume is fair game
>I think people are hesitant to put NT8-10 in the 6 volume season though is more the point.
Yes? That's what I meant by people being biased towards those volumes. I think people overestimate how much running time they need out of fear because of the precedent the Index anime has established. Also people are stubborn and want a 1:1 adaptation when that isn't viable translating from text to animation.
How would a Railgun NT be like?
Theres only free time after WW3, between NT2 and 3, NT4, and then only after NT10, I guess theres a few weeks after NT19
It'll never happen
That works
Its gonna end with Mikoto going crazy so yes, its a good ender
Besides NT16 is a good start since its a non-sequitor anyway
>Because it's the climax of an arc and a definitive moment for two characters.
You seem to have skipped the part of my comment where I point out an objective reason to not want to rush that segment. If you're ever going to slow down and put focus on the character development over the action, that would be the time to do so. Because sure, you *could* spend 3-4 episodes on each of them, but you're going to get a lot more out of putting 5-6 episodes onto those volumes than if you put that time into NT11 or 12
>Kamisato working with his harem to get back the hand he lost in the last volume, and paralyzing the city because Yuitsu started her plan the moment she got the hand is a non sequitr.
user...
It literally starts as one, go back to see the reactions to the first chapter in the archives, you only say that because you have the context of reading the whole volume
I know full well how people reacted. That doesn't change the point.
1 week in raildex time is a lot of time. It could just expand on her characterization and descend into madness/overprotectiveness. It's a pretty extreme change, we know why it happened but showing the gradual buildup wouldn't be bad. And IIRC the editor has already said that he wanted to see the Ichihanaransai.
>the editor has already said that he wanted to see the Ichihanaransai.
And Chuuya's waifu is Himegami. We dont always get what we want
Yeah, like Pokemon, do it every 3-4 years.
What point?
A drastic change in a character works better as an ending than Tsuchi shooting Aleister
It's for the cool aspect, user.
Chuuya forgot about OT2 and 4
>Fucking Mikoto needs a bike
Didn't his editor tell him to cut them?
No he didnt, he was told to cut them. You're referring to Chuuya joking about how he was told to draw Misha/Sasha and Himegami before he was actually working on the series, and then promptly skipped the arcs
Where did he said that they told him to skip the arcs?
>Chadcelerator and Chadazura can drive their own vehicles
>the virgin Touma needs others to transport him all the time
Where did he say he forgot to do their arcs? Hint: he didn't, he said he forgot who the characters were. With no evidence for either side, common sense says that the manga isn't so hilariously hands off that he could finish OT1, and just go straight into sisters by accident and no one would notice. And then do it AGAIN on the very next arc. No, it was on purpose, much like Railgun, because they wanted to get Sisters out quickly to hook people.
He has eggs now no bully
>Accelerator is rich
>Hamazura steals shit
>Touma is poor and can barely afford anything outside of food
Lay down the Railgunhate pill mate, you sound like a conspirancy loony
>the virgin Touma needs others to transport him all the time
Not so fast
I didn't address that because that point isn't unique to the Othinus arc even if it is objective.
Also you just proved my point by jumping onto the assumption anyone was talking about rushing those scenes. You could very well give NT9/10 5-6 episodes like you want and still have plenty of episodes for the rest. It's not like I'm imagining giving NT11 of all volumes 4 episodes, that's overkill.
>It isn't unique to that arc
It's unique to the first half of NT though, which is why it gets the most focus in these things. You think people are going to say to rush NT21 and 22?
>You could very well give NT9/10 5-6 episodes like you want and still have plenty of episodes for the rest
It's *almost* like I literally just said that >That said if you trimmed either NT11 or NT12 down a bit or both, and threw those episodes at them it'd probably be fine.
Maybe you should read posts in their entirety before replying. That's twice you've done it now.
>this guys is supposedly one of the most powerful characters in the series
Why does Kamachi do this? It isn’t cute and it isn’t funny.
Cringe thread at least MP genuinenly loves the series even if he is cancer
Anna is now and she is CUTE and FUNNY
Touma 3 will be Shota Touma
Aleister is very cute and funny though.
Hes a tranny hag now though
I want run over Othinus with a toy truck
Who needs a vehicle when you have a swarm that can fly
A Certain Scientific/Magical Isekai when?
Kamachi needs to get with the times
>Lola
>Tranny
>Hag
Castrate yourself please
Aleister is a MTF tranny and very much a hag, he even called himself a lolibaba but now isnt a loli anymore
With Frenda getting bought as a sex slave?
We already have Isekai with Othinus throwing Touma in different worlds to make him suffer
Is NiangNiang a niggerfucker?
Niang Niang doesnt even know how babies are made
But you cant selfinsert as that
We already had the crossovers, though he needs to make more.
Untrue and slanderous
Just self insert as Odin and rape Touma in the dungeons
Accel will be so good that Kadokawa will realize that Index is a waste of time and continue doing spinoffs
He needs to finish the damn speed dating crossover. You don't just introduce a time loop and then never solve it.
I want to make Kadokawa pregnant.
Bukake for Bayloupe
I suppose that's one advantage of being a spinoff not entirely connected to the main plot. If it succeeds, great. If it doesn't, it's not like it had expectations anyways.
She cute
>>Touma is poor and can barely afford anything outside of food
He can have lots of money if he wants to. Index plays online games that gives prize money. She is really good at it so she earns tons of money just by playing. Instead of adding it to their monthly budget, Touma gives all of the money to Index and let her decide what to do with it because he reason out that it is her money.
>the virgin Accelerator and Hamazura need to go to places
>the chad Touma is needed in places and offered transportation
imagine if batman didn't have a batmobile and had to take the bus
that's how cucked touma is
For me it’s:
moderate hourglass > tall and lithe > Justice > moderate pear > muscular > average > JC > exaggerated proportions > top heavy > Amazonian > all lolis > fridges > all fatties
>the uberChad doesn’t move
>Justice and lolis are different categories
>JC is a bodytype
Even putting aside the matter of your shit taste this list makes little sense
If Touma wanted money he would just marry Mikoto
There are adult women who have less than C cups.
Pretty sure her dad is going to let his precious little girl marry a bum ex-skillouts thug. Totally would go down well
>“Listen, Index. Use this money carefully.”
>The boy named Kamijou Touma placed an envelope of money in her hands.
>“This money came from all the puzzles you solved on that reward site. You solved so many so fast using my account that I’m a little afraid some counterintelligence people are going to be watching me, but this money definitely belongs to you. You can buy whatever you want with it and you don’t have to buy anything you don’t want. Think carefully about whether you want to save it or use it and make sure you don’t regret your decision.”
Really, if Touma just asked, I'm sure Index would be happy to help with their finances.
Well, Misaka's mom already knows him and his parents. That said he'd be much better off marrying one of the other rich girls, they're much cuter both in looks and personality.
Touma is misuzu certified and Tabigake acts like a thug when hes in trouble too. Not to mention their dads have met.
>ex-skillouts thug
Touma beats up thugs you're thinking of Hamazura
All truant kids who skip classes are grouped under the name skill out whether they join a gang or not.
>Directly control ALL the other MGs' emotion and made them stop with just a single tear
>Cover fire
Who's actually reading the wiki, retard? The god brawl made it clear that in their nerfed form, Niang is capable of soloing a couple of MG's at once, and Nep has the power to shut them down immediately when she felt like it.
Mikoto is small time money, if he really wanted money he'd marry Carissa.
Please learn the english language before attempting to discuss something written in it. Please and thanks.
Monarchs arent wealthy, their expenses are just paid and they get a salary. This might be different in their universe though.

At least you admit he was an incel until Touma punched him twice
I was wondering what NT4 would be like if it was the sole volume of Index, and would like to ask you lads which volume do you think would make for the best one shot?
>the virgin MCs
>the CHAD Kamisato
NT9, I've considered using it to introduce friends to the series before.
NT4 would be completely incomprehensible as a one shot. The entire first half of OT is episodic, but OT15 minus the DRAGON name drop, OT16 minus Fiamma, NT11, and 14 to an extent are like that too. Most of the series is just cliffhanger/seguing though
NT 7. It had great suspense and an unfolding mystery, a rampage from a cool and collected character, a variety of powers on display, and a final battle with an antagonist that arguably had better motivations than her enemy. Plus characters who usually get lucky such as Touma and Hamazura weren't the deciding factors in how things concluded. As a one-shot you'd have to do some tweaking but it would work the best.
Kamisato has some pretty bad anterior pelvic tilt
>the virgin Kamisato
>entirely convinced he has no appealing qualities, thinks harem would instantly drop him if not for MGs
>the chad Touma
>has suffered through so much misfortune he's fully willing to take responsibility for any of his actions
Extremely advanced cherrypicking tbqh, but it isn't funny if I don't reply claiming the opposite.
>NT4 would be completely incomprehensible as a one-shot
Not really. At least, not to anyone familiar with shounen.
Nice choice.
OT1, OT3, and NT7 would all be fine.
>The volume that was literally designed to be a oneshot would work well as a one shot
Thanks champ
NT4 is literally anti shounen though
>tournament arc
>tournament never actually begins
>MC is almost completely absent
>all new characters killing each other
>MC comes back at the end to get oneshot by the antagonist and then the antagonist one shots his secret ability too
Unless you're talking just the concept of the volumes in which case I'm wrong about most of what I said
>MC gets oneshotted
I don't see the problem, we did say this would be a oneshot after all.
NT7 would be ideal.
You cheeky little shit
No, I mean literally the volume. Other than Touma all characters are new and have internally contained plots, and Touma is easily identified as the protagonist by anyone who's watched shounen.
It could use some modifications, such as explaining what is the imagine breaker or what is magic, but it isn't particularly hard to infer from context.
>all characters are new
>page 383
>anons repressed NT3 to the extent they forgot Othinus, Marian, and Kagun were all either in it or mentioned
>Noukan's first appearance was NT14
Do you guys think Railgun's next chapter got pushed back to July because something in it would have spoiled NT22R?
Like how the dragons work and if they're sentient or not.
I doubt it.
You really think we're jumping to Kimi right after Saten's bullshit started?
>implying a character is only new for their first appearance
There are people who honestly believe this.
>Aleister is still a new character in NT18
Yuiitsu was introduced in 2012
Do I think a spinoff is going to have plot critical reveals in it? No, obviously not. I'm not delusional.
>Kekine pays cute schoolbois to dye their hair white to mimic Accelerator
Including something as relevant as a dragon from Touma but not providing any information on it would be pretty bad writing. Why bother having it at all?
>Including something as relevant as a dragon from Touma but not providing any information on it would be pretty bad writing. Why bother having it at all?
>this entire argument
I'll stop replying.
>implying Kamachi didn't time the plot progression in railgun and the release of NT22R to deliver the reveal simultaneously in both mediums
This is the first time we saw it, not immediately explaining it is reasonable. But now it's been 15 years, it's time for some reveals.
>Implying a spinoff would ever be half as important as the main series
It took until NT22 for Railgun Daihaiseisai to be mentioned. He's probably light years ahead of the slow ass spinoffs
Yeah, and we're going to do this main plot important reveal in the...spinoff? Now there's a great idea that's definitely not bad writing, requiring you to purchase supplementary material to understand the main series. Brilliant!
>implying I implied that
The Index anime is half as important as Railgun, yeah
When was the last time you've *ever* read a spinoff that was dropping reveals from the main series at even close to the same pace the main series was?
If we go by sales, the Index manga is supplementary to Railgun manga
>Revealing details of the main plot in the spinoff that's months behind in the timeline isn't trying to paint it as important at all, honest!
Spinoffs are supplementary material. Get over it, that's how they work.
It doesn't even need to be a huge reveal, just little details that would support the main story. You do realize they're sacrificing time spent on developing Mikoto's character to focus on this dragon stuff right? Surely there will be a payoff.
Just like in the sports festival, right?
>wasting time
Mikoto and Accelerator can't develop in their own spinoffs. This is why you don't do spinoffs for big characters in an ongoing long series.
>implying a spin off can't use details recently revealed in the main series as long as it doesn't imply that the original's major characters don't find out
>they're sacrificing time spent on developing Mikoto's character
lol. They literally can't develop her character in the spinoff. They're not sacrificing anything. You can't seem to understand this simple point. It's a spinoff. One set *before* the current events of the series. They literally can't develop her. Of course they're going to make pointless tangents, that's all spinoffs do when they involve main characters. You have to focus on a character who isn't already getting lots of limelight if you want anything relevant.
>They're not sacrificing anything.
They literally skipped her pivotal scene in OT16 in favor of a little gag with Uiharu and Saten. For a series titled "Railgun" it sure does love avoiding things relevant to the Railgun. There's also no reason they couldn't have gone past this Jailbreaker stuff and gone into WW3 with some additional screentime and bonding with a clone, who is also more relevant to Mikoto's character than anything we've seen in the past 5 years.
You really think they'd do WW3? I don't think the spinoffs will ever leave Academy City.
That's why we've been getting a lot of that so far right? Because the spinoff is so important and tied to the main series, rather than being it's own thing, like, you know, a spinoff. That's why we got explanations about dragons in the sports festival. That's why we got Dark Matter expansions in Dream Ranker and learned more about Kakine and the members of the fight in OT15 instead of a pointless side story that didn't give us anything new. That's why we've seen Accelerator developing and explaining how his wings came to be. Those things all happened in the spinoffs because they're tightly tied to the main story, right? Right? Do you watch filler arcs in anime expecting them to develop the characters and explain plot relevant details from 10 arcs in the future too? No? Then why are you doing so here?
>pivotal scene in OT16
Pfffft.
>Why isn't Railgun covering every little scene that Mikoto has in the main series? Why is the SPINOFF manga doing it's own thing? Shouldn't it just be repeating the same things that the main story did?
This is why Astral Buddy and Idol Accel are the best spinoffs
>user struggled to understand my post so much he somehow came up with a paragraph about how reveals don't happen in spin offs
The absolute pinnacle of reading comprehension.
>Mikoto noticing she has a crush (but not actually because it actually never says that) is a pivotal moment to her character
Kamachi didn't have Kamisato interact with any of Touma's harem because they wouldn't have been able to resist him.
>but not actually because it actually never says that
Do you need every single detail to be spelled out for you?
Are you this braindead?
>I have no argument and yet I must deflect anyways
Sticking to AC is what holds the spinoffs back imo. The lack of a spinoff that takes place anywhere else is a disappointment.
>OT16 wasn't important to her character
This is a joke right? Are you really so desperate to deny that something important to her character was skipped that you'll outright say it wasn't important at all? Without that scene she wouldn't have gone to WW3. I truly hope this is a joke because we've had literal years worth of discussion on the matter.
Catch you in 3 years when Kamachi says Mikoto was just obsessed with power and everyone acts like it was impossible to see coming.
>pointing out to people they've completely misunderstood your post and found no flaws within your argument is deflecting
Sure thing, brat.
>Without that scene she wouldn't have gone to WW3
user you are a little behind on the novels
But he doesn't have a dragon dick
>I can't name a single example of this occuring BUT it's going to happen anyways and Kamachi designed this reveal so poorly in terms of timeline that Fuyukawa was been delaying releases for YEARS just to time it perfectly.
Ah yes the classic smug image followed by greentext. Completely shattered my argument and my life is in shambles. How do I recover?
He's not a freak like Touma, he has a normal dick you can find anywhere.
Do abnormal girls want a normal dick? Or is there no such thing as a normal dick, the kind you might find anywhere?
>argument
Baseless claims aren't arguments champ
>he insists he's found a flaw in my post in spite of being told he completely misunderstood it
You aren't even putting in any effort at this point.
>Fuyukawa was been delaying releases for YEARS just to time it perfectly.
>implying I implied that
Are you going to actually try to present an argument anytime soon or are you just hoping that getting the last word will be good enough?
Actually stupid Kamisatofagging aside, I can see most of the girls besides maybe Index falling for him. It is literally just a matter of who was where when between him and Touma. The girls seems to all like him for pretty much the same reasons.
>baseless claims
You mean logic? It must be a foreign concept to you I'm sure.
>besides Index
>Who basically just likes Touma because he feeds her and helped her
What? The real answer here is Othinus. Either because Kamisato dies in NT9 or because he never tries to understand her and just tries to solve the situation with WR
Listen, there isn't anything particularly weird about Fuyukawa delaying the manga for one month so that Kamachi can include stuff from the latest volume into the current plot.
Yeah sure kid. It's "logic" that while Mikoto was constantly chasing Touma day in and day out until that point, she wouldn't have done literally the same thing she's always done until she's seen him get hurt.
Touma barely has a harem in the first place. Index, Mikoto, Misaki, and obviously the headfairy.
Just like that time Arata delayed Accel for a month because he was totally waiting to put 545 getting created in the manga, right?
It's a spinoff, not a dual release, get over it.
>Kamisato would just erase Othinus and be done with it
Based.
>>
Touma would have never restored to understanding had it not been for his weakness, take that away and he would have immediately solved it with a punch. Just look at his reaction to St.Germain.
>tfw for every post saying something I have to make five saying I didn't say something
Fuck off, go argue with MP.
You're retarded. Chasing day in and day out is one thing, but flying across the world into an active warzone? Would you do that for someone who you haven't realized you have feelings for, which is what OT16 was for? It's logical narrative progression. Without that OT16 scene her future decisions would be be baffling. It's like putting the cart before the horse. Maybe you just forgot or are doing damage control, I don't know. OT16 being critical to her character has been accepted for years.
>The lack of a spinoff that takes place anywhere else
This is part of why I keep asking for a Magic Side spinoff.
And Kamisato never resorts to understanding even when he can't use WR. Your point? He beat Noukan to death rather than trying to talk to him.
Yah I mean you can add Index too, I don't really care. It's just that a lot of their interactions wouldn't work without Touma's personality.
I didn't consider Othinus as one of the girls, she's more like a high ranked pet honestly.
>Would you go into a warzone
Considering Mikoto is cocky as fuck and thinks she's more or less invincible? What are tanks and bullets going to do to her?
>Without that it would have made no sense
Sure thing.
>OT16 being critical to her character has been accepted for years.
By Mikotofags maybe.
>Index isn't a pet but Othinus is
Oh it's just MP
There are other girls who like him, too, though. They just don't follow him around like Kamisato's cult harem.
>Stop disproving me! Just because it never happened and would make little to no sense to bring up in the spinoff over the main series doesn't mean I'm wrong!
Cool. Guess I'll see you at the end of the arc complaining yet again when a spinoff acts exactly like a spinoff but you were stupid enough to delude yourself into thinking otherwise.
Its hilarious to see all these Mikotohaters getting so butthurt over a guy that wanted to have some Railgun specualtion
The seething will get more intense the closer we get to Railgun 3 air date
The only one butthurt here is the guy desperately trying to tell everyone that his baseless speculation is totally going to happen. How long have you been pushing this meme that Fuyukawa isn't delaying the releases because he's a lazy piece of shit but its totally leading up to something amazing? It's been years, let it go.
I don't think talking to Noukan was really ever an option at the time even if he wanted to.
You don't need to be a Mikotofag to understand the importance of that scene. If you cluelessly claimed another character's scene was unimportant I would call you out there too. There's not much else for you to say other than deny what's in front of you.
>There's not much else for you to say other than deny what's in front of you.
The irony
I'm the one who made the original post and I'm not even arguing about that part anymore.
Talking to Terra wasnt really an option either but Touma still tried it. The point is they're two different characters. Shocking I know.
Go ahead and post another smug image if it makes you feel better, consider your concession accepted. To this point you haven't made any post other than "nuh uh".
>To this point you haven't made any post other than "nuh uh".
You need to take a good long look in a mirror kid.
Thanks for proving my point.
Thanks for proving mine.
>The only one butthurt here is the guy desperately trying to tell everyone that his baseless speculation is totally going to happen.
>tfw you tell an user he needs to stop pretending you said things fifteen times but he keeps insisting on it
Actual mental retardation.
>I didn't LITERALLY say X
>So it doesn't matter that I'm saying things close to X and it's being used to make a point
The irony here is almost as thick as your skull.
>he literally keeps insisting this is true
>no, I claimed it was possible
>WHAT A HUGE FUCKING DIFFERENCE INNIT
>I didn't...
Whoops too bad your posts are there for everyone to refer back to isn't it? Because that lets me do this;
>You do realize they're sacrificing time spent on developing Mikoto's character to focus on this dragon stuff right? Surely there will be a payoff.
>every poster in this thread who isn't me is the same person
That's not his post, that's my post.
>It's not me it's someone else in the same chain about the same topic in an anonymous forum
Cheers on making the most pointless posts in the thread. No one cares.
cringe
So, the thread turns to absolute shite because of lame Mikotofags/antimikotofags/MPspamming and I didn't even get to see more cute Misakis or at least Junkos from Nogi? This sucks, I'm out you clowns. See you when the cover actually drops.
>all these anons chimping out and proving my point
heh
The cover came out already
Thanks for the (You)s, faggot.
For some reason people here have a habit of assuming every view point that isn't theirs is by the same individual. It's always funny to see your post get quoted when you stopped the discussion a while ago.
Probably because it's irrelevant if it's not actually you or not unless you plan on joining an argument and taking it so far away from it's original point that it's unrecognizable from the original point.
For what reason
I'm hoping a smart user can give some nice commentary on the parallels and the differences this shows between Touma's and old Touma's characters.
Also, good discussion subject.
Too lazy to properly quote what it is he wants to talk about is my assumption
No, the subject is the entirety of both parts. I can't fit the entire thing in here because of post size limits.
Seems like it
It's an interesting explanation of Misaki's inner conflict between excercizing powers and the moral ambiguity she feels while doing so. It's been done before with other telepaths in other works of fiction of course, but it brings a level of nuance to her character that Kamachi rarely gets to explore. The people who disregard that volume because it doesn't adavance the plot literally can't seem to understand what Kamachi was trying to do with it, even when he pretty much spelled it out in the afterword.
>People who don't like Misaki's character having taken an entire volume to get some minor depth and think it should have been an SS "just didn't get it dude".
NT11 wasn't a main volume and shouldn't have been. Not to mention a second instance of localized specifically to Misaki brain damage was entirely stupid.
I for one look forward to Scavenger lewds
Particularly Naru since she has the best body
>NT11 wasn't a main volume
By what standards? Because you say so? It was pretty obvious that after just finishing a major arc Kamachi couldn't go and up the ante immediately, so the smartest thing to do instead of mindless dicking around was a character exploration volume, and that's exactly what Kamachi did for both Misaki ans Touma, because on top of what I mentioned for Misaki it furthered the answer to a question many readers probably had by the end of the gremlin arc. If his memories or the circumstances aren't the things driving Touma's heroism then what is it? It turns out it's an inherent part of his character, and it can't be reduced to his morals or a single specific trauma. It's as natural as breathing to him.
*and
>turns out
Nigga everyone knew that was just how Touma was. How could you read 30+ volumes and think he was just doing it for kicks? Immediately after you had just had a big delve into what his character was? Come off it. It was a side novel, deal with it.
Until the gremblin arc, especulating that Touma's antics were possibly just a coping mechanism for him feeling alienated for his shitty luck streak,or the result of him feeling indebted to his agrandized image of the old Touma, or him just doing it for the hell of it were all equally valid explanations for his motivation, but then the narrative weight started to shift towards Touma being a hero by nature, which is still an ongoing plot thread by the way. Don't try that revisionist crap here. Also, repeating that it was a side volume over and over isn't an argument. Your butthurt ass doesn't get to decide that and never will.
>were all equally valid explanations for his motivation,
If you skipped OT maybe
Repeating it isn't a side volume over and over isn't an argument. Your butthurt ass will never change the fact that NT11 was less relevant than Neccesarius SS or Norse mythology were.
The main theme is vengeance against some form of unconscious mental manipulation. In the Queen Divers's case, against Shokuhou Misaki, and in Kamisato's case, against the Magic Gods.
The main difference you'll notice is that the Queen Divers are avenging themselves, while Kamisato is avenging his harem.
Original Touma's counter argument is extremely concise and incisive. I'll go on a leg and say he's actually saying what he thinks. By contrast, new Touma's argument agains Kamisato is substantially weaker, even if it's more logical. He points out an important methodological flaw in Kamisato's plan, the fact he didn't even put in the effort to check if there really was a victim in the first place, but it doesn't really get to the heart of things. If Kamisato spoke with Ellen, and she revealed that she hadn't even noticed he existed prior to WR events, new Kamijou's entire point collapses. New Kamijou most likely doesn't really think that the girls would like Kamisato regardless, he just brings up the possibility for the sake of argumentation.
I've been trying to think of what original Kamijou would respond to Kamisato with, but the closest thing I thought of was that Kamisato was a regular high school boy, who two days after gaining a mysterious power decided to take revenge on beings who could destroy the world, and in this way old Kamijou would turn the situation into a problem of saving Kamisato.
It's 2019 user, people who have actually read the first half of OT are the minority now.
They always were
They dont consider it a main volumen because it doesnt has their self insert on the fore front
I always defended that he did all that crap because that was just who he was, just not to the extreme later volumes clarified but many people argued otherwise and without the benefit of hindsight like we habe now, who was there to tell them they were definitely wrong?
Necessarius and Norse mythology were deemed as not important enough to be main volumes by the author whereas NT11 was, and that's all there needs to be said.
Cute understander
Don't even start with that crap MP. You're just as wrong as those morons. Touma is not the main character in NT11, but he was incredibly important for both th e heroine and the villain. Arguably, it's just a better setup in that one since rather than Touma playing the meddlesome outsider, he's got a personal relationship with all the people involved in the conflict.
Kamachi himself said Misaki felt like she was from a different series, and that's all that needs to be said.
*uncute jailer and torturer
Fixed that for you.
He said he felt like until that volume, she was more of a character from Railgun, a manga that he also authors that takes place in the Index universe by the way. Until that volume being the key phrase here, which you conveniently omitted.
>Until that volume
Until NT22 you mean
Did you guys know that Uiharu is voiced by a girl?
She is a girl.
Fuck people who skipped volumes. Read the whole thing, you fucking plebs.
Yes, even ice boats.
No. Read NT11's afterword.
>But this might have broken free from that
>Might
>Then says 10 volumes later that she still feels borrowed
I rest my case
Having read all of OT, I can say that many volumes can be skipped if you've already seen the anime, but I don't regret reading them either.
Touma pledging to fight the world for Agnese (Othiwho?), Shota Touma being stabbed, and almost everything about OT1 were worth reading for content the anime did not or could not include.
All the good characters are.
You're thinking of NT21
He’s thinking of love.
I regret reading the sports festival and ice boats, but otherwise agree.
OT1 and OT6 are honestly some of my favorite volumes, and I found OT2 and OT4 much more enjoyable than in the anime.
This list is garbage, but I won't completely shit on you because you actually had the decency to include Yomikawa.
Railgun's version of sports festival was fun though, even the competition fluff at the start.
I don't hate the actual plot either, but it was too long. If there was an arc that needed a second volume, that probably wasn't it.
Rest your case all you want because you're still wrong. Even if you want to argue semantics, all that means is that he's rather dedicate an entire main series volume to write about his "borrowed" character than to talk about irrelevant saints or necessarius church members.
>I know that I lost the argument but you're wrong anyways
>Yes, even ice boats.
Ice boats you can skip
What about Silent Party?
What argument? How does arguing over whether he feels like Misaki is more from one or another story from the same universe both of which he writes modifies whether a volume about her that he decided to include in the main series is a main series volume? Are you just unfamiliar with the concept of a red herring? Because that's exactly what you're doing right now.
Kakine will cameo in NTR 22 foreshadowing a return
Not in novels & not in the manga or side stories= non canon.
HOW? Even with 1-2 bars of internet, HOW CAN I GET OFF BY 2?????
Why do you always have to be so rude? Really? The truth is you have no clue if it’s cannon. In fact online most sources that are somewhat official claim it is canon. The only proof you have is your own word. You don’t know.
Your entire argument was "Kamachi says its a main novel so it is". And yet it turns out that he also said Misaki doesnt really belong, almost like it should have been a side story. Whoops! Suddenly user has no argument, but of course, he's still right, because he's such a smart cookie.
>*most* sources that are *somewhat* official
You have absolutely no official source at all. Nothing that even resembles an official source. All you have is your dumb word.
I forgot.
Because one thing being truth doesn't invalidate the other, you moron. Especifically because in this case both stories are written by the same guy and take place within the same universe.
>almost like it should havr been a side story
But it wasn't, so you're just repeating a vapid subjective opinionated claim as if it was an argument. Better luck picking your battles next time, sunshine.
Hey! Don’t call him a moron!
>There is no source that says that the arc is canon
>The fact that EVERY other arc is confirmed is irrelevant
>Since I have one or two non official sources that say it is, CLEARLY I'm right
I'd say cute but dumb, but you're not cute either. How will MP ever recover?
>If I throw enough insults into an argument I clearly and objectively lost, maybe people will think I'm right
top kek. Better luck next time kid.
I don’t have to recover because it’s canon and you look dumb right now for even arguing about something not confirmed to be not canon. You don’t know anything.
Close one, not even gonna lie.
