>Anbu Item anime>Railgun DEADAre we so back or is it over?
Will we get Mitsuari cameo?
>>287033001
>>287033268Yes, even if the anime is only single cour, we will get the Ayu fight. I predict episode 7, maybe 8.
>>287033001Sex
reminder that nagai butchered mugino's shower scene in railgun t and will probably ruin all of her good moments in item too.
>>287033001Serious, why are they making all those anime spinoffs? Meanwhile New Testament yet to even get an anime.
>spin off about a group I don't give a shit about GROUP would be more based unironically
>>287033800This. I'm still mad
Surely Scavenger will be next
Next up: A Certain Ordinary Student's Daily Life
gouranga will deliver on a certain exhibitionist courier. trust the plan.
>>287033864Because Index is shit.
>>287034225Too lewd for print or screen, I'm afraid
>>287034225she has no powers so what would she be doing?
>>287034225They wouldn't be allowed to show that on TV
>>287034448everyday stuff
>we´re finally back in Academy city after 5years
>>287034407faggot
>>287034491The perfect woman.
>>287033864A big problem is NT would be viewed as having to "make up" for everything that went wrong with S3, so at this point they basically can't make it unless they're sure they can deliver an actually good adaptation that restores faith in the Index anime (I think Miki even outright said something about "doing it right next time"). All while the material itself is more challenging than it was before and they also have to work around details that were omitted or rushed through in previous seasons.By comparison, adapting a fresh spinoff has none of that baggage. If it goes well, that's some money and goodwill earned, if it's a disaster, the fallout remains relatively limited to that small corner of the franchise.
Honestly unless they go All in and make 100 episode NT anime I have no faith of of us get a good adaptationOf course that impossible the only studio that can do it is toei
>>287034448Pleasing old men for views
>>287033001Super love Saiai.
>>287034448Teaching little boys the wonders of sex
So were just waiting for typesetting for Railgun 170?

>>287036418shower steam covers 90% of what is depicted in that image
>>287036471>>287036560Even on BD?
>>287036575As far as I know, yea. Though to be fair, I only watched Railgun T while airing. But I dont think people would be still bitching about it if they did fix it.
When is he getting his spinoff?
>>287036631I'll check it out, what ep was it?
>>287036668A true slice of life spinoff with him as the lead with Fukiyose ,Himegami and occasional touma ending with the Trip to district 12 that lead to him getting banned from the district
I can defeat Saten.
>>287033864>>287035342I mean railgun F and ITEM should have things in it that helps people get used to some concepts and characters that will appear in NT, there’s still a realistic chance it’s happening and they’re just waiting to reveal it
>>287036806Ah I found it. Damn this is much worse than just simple steam. You can barely even see her.
>>287037627Its a god damn crime
>>287036821Anon dont do it, she's playing possum. She'll drain you dry.
>>287034448Urbex, investigating local rumors, browsing /x/, me.
>>287037705Uiharu browses/pol/
When is Touma getting his dorm manager onee-san back?It’s unfair he had to part with the woman of his dream like that
>>287036821Impossible, no one even knows how the Fourth Wave even works.
Y’all think the angel dragon and uiharu asspull will be better explained in the anime or nah?
>>287038996>Y’all think the angel dragon and uiharu asspull will be better explained in the anime or nah?Depends. If they do Jailbreaker and Past arc then probably not because Jailbreaker will probably be crammed into 8-9 episodes and have no room for extras. If they do Jailbreaker and an anime original cour than they have about half a season to do whatever they want. They did this with the Level Upper anime and we got the Poltergeist arc out of it which explained what happened to Kiyama and her kids. Jailbreaker is chronologically the end of Railgun which suuucks so I hope they give it a proper anime original send off with a proper big bad who wants to use ascended Uiharu in some nefarious way. Past arc is so long it would take up most of its own season, if they adapt it as such they could use the last 8 or so episodes to reunite Mikoto with Kiyoshi in the present and save Yayoi who presumably never killed herself in prison. That would be my ideal handling of Railgun anime.
>>287038996No chance on the dragon outside something minor like how it got dislodged from Touma. Hopefully something about Uiharu, but I doubt it.
>>287036418this is what that page looked like in the anime
>>287039486but then if you think "wow they censored the titties what a lame adaptation" he still showed frenda's underboob and made it like 4 times bigger. it's pretty clear what the agenda is.
>>287038996Trying to explain dragons was above Railgun's pay grade anyway. That's Index's problem (come on Kamachi).The Uiharu asspull was probably setting something up to be paid off later, but Fuyukawa didn't have it in him after the flashback arc to do another arc about how Aihana was the one behind the asspull (shitting you not). Now Kamachi has to do an Index volume about it at some point. That's a whole 3 days he won't get back.
>>287039538iirc they also had anime only kongou fanservice in railgun. So they just fucked over Mugino for some reason
how long until another tension escalation between Touma and Stiyl?
>>287039538I'm pretty sure that Saiai didn't look like a boy in the manga in this scene.On other hand when you think about it more, she's so flat there, it almost hot.
>>287040628how long until AaArRrGgGhHh KANZAKI HELP ME, IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN
>>287040339What a strange episode that was. Back when Railgun adaptations were more freeform instead of sticking to a shonen pace. I hope the new season has silly stuff like this.
>>287040339>for some reasonclearly fanservice is ok but only when it's for middle schoolers. the closest nagaiverse ever got to sexo for anyone older than 14 was konori in her swimsuit, and that was mostly just for a breast envy joke.
>>287041516That's why they're called JC Staff
Isn't it a bit disrespectful to throw the trailer the same day the Railgun manga ends?
>final chapter was missing 7 pagesThe final volume in a few months may end up having an extended ending
>>287041869Isn't it a bit disrespectful for Kuroko to be walking around in public, teasing me with her body?
>>287041869Trust the plan, the final episode of Item will have a post-credit scene where Saiai is watching a movie to announce Heavy Object S2
I never mentioned this during the story time but does anyone else find the way Fuyukawa draws the back of Kuroko's head erotic?
Kakine short story should have gotten an OVA before these this
>>287041869>Railgun manga endsWait, they're actually axing it? I've been out of the Raildex loop for like 4 years
>>287039342LAC was considered for T so maybe something like that
>>287042047Sells too well for it to be an axing, Fuyukawa is probably ready to move on. But yes the final chapter came out yesterday
>>287041982Volume 5 adaptation LET'S GO!Mariydi bros we might still make it
>>287042053Going from Past arc to the Russian Shopping Mall for S5 would be pretty cool.
>>287042053LAC should've been considered for S, let's be honest.
>>287042117Damn, end of an era.
>>287041869After Biribiri carried this whole franchise, this is how they threat her.
>>287039342The amount of volumes they covered in Railgun T is the same amount of volumes left for them to cover now
>>287042013>
Kinuhata is the bestI love her tomboyish personalityI love her short hairI love her flat chest
Aureolus was wasted
>>287042407I love that she doesn't wear pants
>>287034225A Saten manga that tries to be SoL but with all the crazy shit happening in Academy City across NT and GT in the background would be fun
How was the Railgun ending?Was worse or better than CSM?
>>287042149Yeah, but Apocrypha didn't exist back then and there was probably a rule or something against adapting purchase bonuses
>>287042740Better. Railgun doesn't have an overarching plot that needs a resolution because it's a spin-off.
>>287042740A lot better it just didn’t have the most exciting final arc
>>287042173T covered 6 volumes + 2 chapters, there are 8 volumes left to cover now.Dahaseisai 29 chapterDream Ranker 27 chaptersJailbreaker 34 chaptersPast arc 52 chaptersThey aren't doing the rest in one season unless they want to pull another Index 3.
>>287042740It was a baffling waste of time but it wasn't that bad
>>287042884Page count went down per chapter since Jailbreaker, didn’t it?
>>287042740It's a non-ending because it's a small, timelocked part of a much larger narrative. I don't understand why people keep asking this. It can't do anything serious because it would screw with the established future
>>287042884How many pages were in each volume? I remember those 15 page chapters. I also remember that episode in T where they did a 4 minute recap of the previous episode to fill time.
The last chapter's art looks weird
>>287042954>>287043007about 1800 pages left and 1500 adapted last season.
>>287042351>want to look up this chapter>Index was affected by Mangadex purgeREEEEEEEE
>>287043223Ironic, a manga pirating site that was inspired by Index takes down the Index manga.
>>287043223Wait, what? What purge?
>>287043223Where do you fags go to read manga now? Comix?
>>287043305Index(the headcrab) once again confirmed a shit
>>287043201So either 2 seasons with a shit load of filler or 1 more season with cut content because they are not going to animate the novels.
>>287043366They can request a few extra episodes, they even let Nishikiori have 2 more to finish up OT
>>287043366>2 seasons of the same fucking arc
>>287043313Some normies thought a bunch manga was problematic for having lolis in it so they took them off the site.
>tfw Railgun TCG is out of stock.
>>287043439Wrong purge. This was hit by the Kadokawa/Kakao/Suieisha mass DMCA.
waiting for othinus arc anime
>>287042538>Saten taking a trip to the grocery store - November 2004Later she is taking Uiharu to the movies if the theater is still standing.
>>287043007I've always wondered what would be there if that recap didn't happen. It was said to be because of the pandemic but I don't think there was anything of note cut afterwards that could fill the same timeframe
>>287043854wait, there were two?
>>287033001Aside from first picking up Saiai, will this even be good?
>>287044647Yeah I like the first 3 volumes
>>287033001I never read ITEM. Is it just edgy DARK SIDE content or will there be some comedy episodes too?
>>287044965Comedy mixed with dark side stories. It's pretty light hearted and silly between fights.
>>287044965A mix of both slice of life and edgy darkside stuff that, yes, is exactly as edgy as you imagine.
I don't like this, In Railgun we can cheer for the good guys and Uiharu, but here we are supposed to cheer for a group of heartless mercenaries.Also there is no Kuroko.
>>287045180Saiai and Takitsubo are goodMugino and Frenda are bad people
>>287045524>Saiai and Takitsubo are goodThey're contract killers
>>287041869>Isn't it a bit disrespectful to throw the trailer the same day the Railgun manga ends?Who cares?Nobody cares about ITEM manga or ITEM anime aside of few vocal hardcore Index fans.ITEM stuff is a boring sloppy seconds.If you thought RAILGUN was bad then this time is 100th worse.
>>287045180Ii's even worse we have to cheer up for a hardcore murderer of cute girls in it.
>>287033001Did they pussy out and disabled the comments?
>>287033001Heh, more like I want to rail that item on a desk amirite?
How good ITEM manga is actually selling compared to Railgun or Index or MO?
>>287045787They’ve always done that
>>287045875Boring, I suppose they are afraid of negative comments.
>>287045720>Nobody cares about ITEM manga or ITEM anime aside of few vocal hardcore Index fans.Yea thats why it got greenlit for an anime before AB and MO right? Dumbass. Cry more.
>>287045908No it's just Japan nonsense.
>>287045860Manga? Don't know and I imagine the hiatus didn't help. The novel does well though
>>287045914I asked a simple question, instead of answering with numbers you raged like a complete retard.Next time don't answer if you have nothing valuable to tell.
>>287045180>>287045643Eh, the ITEM novels are a bit more nuanced, you are mostly dealing with anti-heroes who balk at the idea that they could ever be heroes while saving loads of people and often going out of their way to do it. Basically, what if the 177th was lethal and paid handsomely for it.It's not like it is even out of character. In Railgun Mugino is chomping at the bit to kill Mikoto when she thinks she is a terrorist but never goes after her again when she finds out her motives. In the first chapter of ITEM she is ordered to cover up evidence of the Dark May Project and while she wipes out the evil child torturing scientists but goes out of her way to make sure the dozens of child test subjects in cryo go into Anti-Skill hands even though it was implied they were also evidence.That is the kind of character you can expect from ITEM. The brooding yet high class defenders of every day life in Academy City who primarily destroy the worst excesses of the dark side for money. Even when given sketchy missions, they use their leeway to tip the scales towards a good outcome for the victims of the city.
Why people care about sales? It's obvious that in comparison to Railgun anime which always had decent sales due to waifufags agenda, other anime (including Index one) for this franchise have laughable sales and are just promo material for LN than something which can bring any profit.
Why Kamachi made Mugino kill Frenda?It makes anime or reading manga which are prequels to that basically pointless.
>>287046178Index 2 outsold Railgun S and Index 3 and Railgun T had almost the same amount. It was Railgun 1 that had a ton of CGDCT secondaries into it
>>287046121>simple question??? You think that "who cares?" is an actual question? Kek shut the fuck up faggot, you got your feelings hurt because I poked a hole in your retarded logic. Cry harder.
>>287046216>It was Railgun 1 that had a ton of CGDCT secondaries into itYes, more of that please, with Touma and co too. This series is always rushing to the next crisis, it needs to stop and sniff the flowers more often.
test
>suddenly people being pissy about ITEM out of nowhereHm.
>>287046201Frenda was killed off in the same Index novel she first appeared. I imagine Kamachi didn't plan on her being more than a minor one-off character when he wrote her
>>287046465Well Railgun got canned and shit like ITEM immediately got anime so no wonder many are pissed off.
>>287046201Item is actually written assuming you know she dies
>>287046481So why Kamachi can't kill other characters for real too like Touma for example? Frenda stayed dead so he could do us a favour and give Touma the same fate and it could start being a great franchise that way isnstead of baiting with him being dead and then chickening out and bringing him back again like it was nothing.
>>287046592Frenda is a side character who was always meant to die and have stuff about her be explored after her death.Touma is the main character since the very first line in the series and is the person where the entire story revolves around.I don’t like misaka but I wouldn’t say that I want her to die so that fuckin, komaki gets more focused on. Because, railgun is her story (kinda didn’t feel like that for awhile, but you know what I’m talking about).
Kiyoshi spinoff when
>>287033001how many girls are flat (same as my love Kuroko) ?
>>287046784>Frenda is a side character who was always meant to die and have stuff about her be explored after her death.I think she was only meant to die and the rest was added on later. Kamachi doesn't plan things that far ahead.
>>287046904OP pic and frenda are.
What's the point of reading when we know Frenda is just going to grow boobs
>>287046911>Doesn’t plan things far.Forgetting this is the same man who kept mentioning Magic Gods and THE God in OT1 and throughout OT. The same dude you mentioned Anna sprengel since OT22.https://toarumajutsunoindex.fandom.com/wiki/Toaru_Sangatsu_no_Zouyo_Koukan_%26_Toaru_Sangatsu_no_Ni_Rei_Ichikan#SpeculationAll of that since 2006. Also didn’t he write manuscripts for OT 8 or 9 when 6 wasn’t released yet. Combined with his interview saying that the series is going back in magic history in “a certain super encyclopedia”.
>>287046904>(same as my love Kuroko) ?But it's rather clear you hate Kuroko.
I don't remember the explanation for how Index is able to read all grimoires when they kill most other people.
So why even using Raildex as OP?Now it should be Itemdex.
It just shows the power of Railgun manga and content, manga ended and people here are still using it title cause nobody would look or bother to visit alone Index threads.
Is the last Railgun chapter not translated yet?
>>287047213Speaking of the end of Raildex where's the final chapter of Railgun?
skirty flirty
>>287046993Frenda is NOT flat at all
Would Imagine Breaker kill Alfar, if she gets touched?If yes, if someone would knock-up Alfar would Imagine Breaker kill the baby?
>>287047371
>>287047459>>287039538
>>287047037It's okay. Frenda just have to lose some weight. Maybe about half.
>>287047471That's still like a year out
>>287047494Who'd even want Flatrenda back then? The real gem of the time period is Flatsaki.
I can't wait for a new season of Frenda jokes.
>>287047658This is bait.
>>287033001I'm put off by how stupid some of the characters are>Touma is taken aback by a powerful opponent who can attack from a distance>The opponent underestimates him, thinking he's just an ordinary person, and lets him get close>Instead of grabbing him and fighting hand-to-hand blocking power, Touma punches him; the opponent jumps back and starts shooting while keeping distance>Touma partially blocks the attacks and barely escapes with his lifeAnd this kind of idiocy happened at least twiceMisaka isn’t any better>Shoot a friend with a deadly weapon because you had a quarrel>If it weren’t for the counterintuitive aspect of Touma’s power, that he can block something fired by a power that’s already traveling under normal physics, which she didn’t know, she would have killed him>And then Touma bounces the ball back in this ping-pong of retards without making a huge fuss after she almost killed him
>>287048253Seems to me like you're not living your life correctly
>And then Touma bounces the ball back in this ping-pong of retards without making a huge fuss after she almost killed himHe is friends with an entire gang of women that have tried to kill him at some point it's not out of the ordinary.
Are magic gods actually strong?
>>287048456
>>287048566Just explain to them why it is scientifically impossible for them to exist and they'll disappear in a poof of logic.
>>287046538>manyIts like 1-2 faggots that werent here to talk shit until today. Likely the frendafagPeople are upset about Railgun, but most like ITEM. In fact, it was the spin off most looked forward to in here because Railgun decided to have a 5 year flashback arc
I love Itemdex!
>>287048566>4 page history about how cadavers are extremely supple and that elastic nature allows for powerful attacks from stored energy or something>magic gods are perfected corpses>magic gods... are strongAnd somehow completely ignoring the part where one of them can spawn a star on your head.
I love Intal Outem!
>>287047246Because weve been using it for like 15 years retard.

>>287049270Moogs looks evil in the expression sheet
>>287049409ok thats better

The item stage is in 9 hours but I dunno if they’ll reveal anything new besides Hanano’s seiyuuhttps://www.youtube.com/live/yjhH768V6SE?si=EScuiDWCOtJWk0iN
>>287049214SHOTA
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
>>287033001Hmm, nothing much to judge from in terms of animation. I guess some people won't like the art style change, but I think it's important for this series to have its own visual identity. Btw, where's the TL Railgun chapter? >>287045180>we can cheer for the good guys and UiharuHey, watch it you! Uiharu is a swell girl, it's not her fault you can't handle the bantz.
>>287049644I-I thought middle school girls are out of her range
Do we even know Leader is a middle schooler? She's so smol she could be a JS6.
>>287049841Somewhere in WW3 it came up that she was a middle schooler iirc
>>287049364even if ITEM is a shitshow, it will be worth it for her and her alone.
>>287049787Well at least you'll both somehow get out of this alive.
>>287033001Am I misremembering? I thought this one dead.
>>287050301Story happens like a year before that I think
>>287050301This spin-off is set a year before that happened
>>287050301thats her twin sister... clearly different girl
>>287050336>>287050340>>287050346So, is she still dead. I kind of like her, and upset that she died and then forgotten like nothing happened.
>>287050423Something comes up with her in New Testament but yeah she’s actually dead
>>287050442damn
>>287050301why she look like doll slut from some hentai ? same director ?
>>287050423>forgottenI fucking wish. We've been doing this "remember Frenda" shit for what? Over 15 years now!

It's nearly impossible to compete with Railgun S Frenda in cuteness. >TakitsuboNuTaki looks cuter, so her. >MuginoBoth look hot in their own way, but honestly, the body might be the decider, it's not Moogs without the massive tits. Plus, it remains to be seen if ITEM's moogs will be as expressive as Railgun S'.>>287047886Not him, but only partially. Lolisaki is a miracle of the universe, and I can't wait to get a glimpse of her, even if it's just Ayu's LARP.
>>287050529How often did it happen really? Fremea volumes + St.Germain?
>>287050727NT9 too
>>287050746It was a remember Terra moment actually.
>>287050423>forgotten like nothing happenedIf anything they won't let her go. Like every Mugino appearance post-incident rubs it in her face going dozens of volumes forward
>>287050423If it helps, her younger sister gets a lot of spotlight. Also indirectly, Frenda is important in one volume of New Testament but... that's that.
>>287050814It was also the last time Kamachi remembered that Vento existed
it's a shame that strelka's previous work had full nudity but the item mango doesn't even let him properly draw mugino's see through lingerie
>>287050814Terra was mentioned in gt2 right?
>>287049214LeftLeftRightLeft
>does literally nothing>still objectively the best girl
>>287049409New Fre nda looks better when she's emoting, but still nowhere near Railgun's.
>>287051725>nothingliterally succubys
Would Touma punch lgbt "people"?
>>287051280I thought that the ITEM manga was made by a girl mangaka?
>>287051725
>>287052144>punches a pregnant woman with no fucks givenYes. Also he punches Crowley who is magical genderbent so take that as you will
>>287051725Fukiyose is cute, but if I was on Touma's position, she'd be the school gf I would cheat on like crazy with Seria, Misaki and Oriana.
>>287052352Absolute scum
Are magic and ESP the same thing in Toaru?
>>287052397Yes and noAlso moot ghosted epstein btw
>>287052397ESP is an application of magic based off of a particular naturally-occurring type of freak (Gemstones) similar to how Saints just kind of happen sometimes, that has been researched in excruciating enough detail that Aleister has managed to gaslight the public into thinking it's an isolated field of regular science. The same could presumably be done with any branch of magic but it's in his interests to keep his army of child soldiers and mercs at odds with the wider magic society as a kind of defense against outside interlopers
>>287052611>Yes and noExplain further
>>287052797They are two sides of one coin. Both are changing reality, but ESP uses personal reality to influence the world, while Magick taps into Noosphere for that.
>>287052397Espers are like fake users of ESP. Originally in the world there were people who could use ESP naturally and have powers but they’re so rare that even in the modern world there’s under 50 of them alive. These people are called gemstones and they still emit AIM (an involuntary movement) which is what the espers of academy city use to create a personal reality for their abilities, although the gemstones emit way more.Magic is different, at some point in human history magic was created likely alongside the various mythologies and later religions, implied to be because they were jealous of gemstones. Magic draws on life force which is like a fuel the body makes or can be found, for example people have mana or the world has a natural form of leylines across the globe. They refine it and use it in various ways depending on the type and style of magic being used. But it’s more dangerous than gemstones and their AIM because the use of magic creates something called sparks that’s due to the phases/layers of the world that were mostly created by magic in the first place. The sparks can be nothing but sometimes it can cause totally random effects like someone suddenly dying on the other side of the world for no reasonAcademy city users are an attempt to artificially recreate gemstones on a mass scale using drugs and hypnosis to induce a personal reality.So in short all of them are a way to manipulate phenomena but the methods are different. Magic is significantly stronger with the ability to alter the universe or add layers to the world but the cost is higher due to sparks. Gemstones are the OG power users that caused magic to be made and espers are basically eco-friendly magicians at the cost of your mind probably being fucked in the process
>>287052369I know, I just feel like hard ore bullying her to watch her teary eyed face.
>>287053270Espers = Fake, drug users to become EspersGemstones = Not stones, people that are true EspersMagician = uses mana from the food they eat?But what powers the Gemstones?
>>287053461>They still emit AIM (an involuntary movement) which is what the espers of academy city use to create a personal reality for their abilities.
>>287053461ESP, Espers are just knock offs of them
>>287048253Raildex has a lot of slapstick elements. Especially when characters that both exhibit strong plot armor interact. Taking it too seriously is a mistake.
I feel bad for js06. Dude basically translates everything Kamachi and the second he tries to translate another series (kawakami), Kamachi hits him with 3 more things to translate.Also how tf did 7 pages not get released for the railgun final chapter? Js06 probably punching his wall realizing he needs to wait to translate those 7 pages.
how the fuck is Stiyl a teenager?
>>287055016Does Kawakami still release novels after finishing Horizon? Also the missing 7 pages will likely not come out until the final volume in the summer
>>287055016This is nothing, back in the day Kamachi was releasing at least one novel every month plus spinoffs, crossovers and a web novel.
>>287055060The reason. Haimura messed up reading “old vs young” and took it literally instead of figuratively. Kamachi found it funny and rewrote OT1 to match the description.
>>287055016Did he announced another series?
>>287055016>and the second he tries to translate another series (kawakami)Eh? Kamachi is much slower now and he's running out of Kawakami nowadays, compared to how it used to be.And back when it was busier he also was picking up side projects like Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou or R-18 stuff (not sure if he still translates it).
So is the chapters getting posted or not?
so what is the real reason item is so much less popular than railgun? is it just because it hasn't been shilled as much with no anime until now? or is it because it has fewer child characters and japan is a nation of pedophiles?
>>287055571Mikoto ever since her inspection has been popular to the point maki was trying to force her in OT2 Her popularity grow with OT3 to the point of having the first spinoff about centering on her Item are the side cast of the third protagonist and didn't really pick up stream until railgun S
>>287055082>Does Kawakami still release novels after finishing Horizon?There was Horizon Next Box, which had a new novel and re-release of side stories, On The Godless Planet wasn't finished and for a more recent series he also started Fangaku around one and a half years ago.He is also editing and re-releasing Owari no Chronicle on Kakuyomu Next.
>>287055555Checked.Might as well wait for the translation at this point.
>>287055773The translation has been out for some time pastebin.com/Wj2EFGJVhttps://x.com/i/status/2037348720866431108
>>287047164I believe in kamachi but there are some things that either weren't or plans that changed later. Frenda was irrelevant until the railgun appearance. Shortly afterwards Fremea debuted in NT1 she more or less a chibi frenda who didn't kill people. Kamachi has plenty of long term plans I don't think Frenda getting postmortem content was one of them.
>>287056069Was the Fremea cameo at the end of Index 2 only in the anime?
>>287055824>Thank you for reading for 19 long years! Please look forward to Fuyukawa-sensei's next work!Railgun part 2 confirmed
>>287056252I checked the wiki Yeah That of course make index 3 cutting Hanzou even dumber
>>287040695You thought wrong. Saiai ALWAYS looks like a boy. Boyai.
>>287056288For NT they should just pretend that they already introduced Hanzou and the ninja girl
>>287056252The scene mentions kamba has a picture with a young girl on his phone but it doesn't describe the girl. It's not until several years later fremea says she knew him.
>>287056374yeah at the time the scene primarily existed to make Accel feel bad because the guy he killed also had a little girl he was trying to protect. With zero description the most likely thought would be that it was Komaba's sister or something
>>287056356Boys don't have asses as nice as her's
>>287056501You forgot to say no homo you homo.
>>287055735why is misaka so much more popular than mugino then?
Read the french release since mangadex has that up and i'm kind of annoyed, they slightly retconned the first chapter away from Misaka just being pissed the one guy knocked her parfait onto her shirt which allowed her to 'act in self-defense'
>>287056793She is much more likeable, mugino is a literal retard with a bitch personality that does evil for the lulz.
>>287053974>>287054233>gemstones aint gonna explain shitSo, they're gods, basically? Does magicians call them avatars or something?
>Railgun ends>immediately go into promotion mode for Item
I love my wife Kuroko.
>>287057401>A door closes>A window opensItemdex lives on.
>>287057269They are humans with the right genetic and environmental factors to get powers. Aleister found a way to replicate it artificially. Magicians called them people with talent, which is ironic considering how much stronger they became than any esper.
>>287057574Yeah. But my question is where is their power coming from? What's powering their ESP? If it's not food, then it's something not from the physical world.
>>287057617As far as we know it's just the brain and a body it recognizes altering reality. Espers get weaker when they are tired so it's at least somewhat powered by usual human energy sources. If it's anything ethereal then it it's probably related to Aiwass' thelema stuff.
>>287050423The ITEM novels seem to be setting up a twist in regards to her death.There's evidence in the novels to suggest that Frenda is already aware of when and where she will die, even a whole year beforehand. God knows what Kamachi intends to do with this..
>>287049409>>287033001Kinuhata is honestly really cute, i just wish she was older a curvier desu

>>287058496>I'm a genius>Oh No!
>>287058851Feels like they fumbled the last arc a bit. Kiyoshi just poochied herself for no reason and after 2 arcs where it hammers home that high level espers "commit suicide" in jail, we still don't know what the fuck happened to Yayoi. This ending stinks of "well we got to end it this volume but we don't know how".
>>287058742>I feel like there is double meaning focusing on Uiharu, Kongou, presumably 10032 and Misaki whom all think the same way about helping others.Yeah, probably. Good call, and I like how several of them were influenced by Touma's heroism too.
>>287058571>indirect kiss early>>287058782>>287058790>>287058804>no crepeWhy did they change this?Also, missing pages and no message from Fuyukawa, it's a pretty lackluster end.
>>287058586Why do they all look shorter?
THAT'S IT??? I thought we would at least get a chapter in present time with them all chatting in the school garden. All the characters having a sendoff together. Now silent party looks like a better ending.
>>287058972Supposedly, the ending was going to be a few pages longer than this, so many Japanese readers speculate those pages are going to be extra content for the volume release. I don't think that's going to change much of anything, but at least it's something.
>>287059030Because this is the cast at the beginning of the second year. Also, the extreme STICC style of early Railgun made the characters appear taller.
Did Fuyukawa suffer brain damage?
As someone who read it through the storytime, I feel like this ending is 'fine', but it's pretty easy from context clues to understand why people who have been following for years don't like it very much.
what if fuyukawa starts drawing porn again?
So it's finally over.What's R/a/ildex's ranking for each arc?
I'll miss these girls.

When will the alleyway rapegangs get their spinoff?
so that's how railgun ends, not with a bang, but with a sputter.Doomposting fags were right, as always.ANYWAYS, how will the Item anime go?
>>287058816Now that the dust has settled, what killed the hype?
>>287060029A bitter disappointment like everything else in the Toaru Project.
>>287060098Once ITEM bombs Miki's death will be assured. Straight-Edge will be saved.
So why Item and not Astral Buddy/Mental Out? Doesn't Misaki sell like hot cakes?
>>287059515>OT2Editors wanted to bumrush to OT3 for Mikoto.>OT4Editors wanted to bumrush to OT5 for Mikoto.
>>287060118Yuri baiting doesn't sell
>>287060118Yes but not the story, I mean it's not even her story at this point. Nogi just isn't a good writer. I don't even know what the fuck is going on with these stupid cubes.
>>287060051I have a suspicion the fairly inconsequential flashback arc dragged out over 5 years by an abysmal release schedule may have ever so slightly contributed.The more interesting question is, what killed Fuyukawa?
>>287060051Nothing really The series was running on fumes for a long time and decided to just spend the last 5 years on arc that was always on their mind
>>287060233I have a suspicion it's the fairly inconsequential manga called Toaru Kagaku no Railgun that he has been drawing for more than a decade may have ever so slightly contributed.
>>287060233>what killed Fuyukawa?Burnout and his hatred for cover's and promo illustrating
>>287045180Kuroko is a self admitted corrupt cop/rapist and Misaka is a thug/terrorist that is being told not to be insane by said cop.Saten gets her friends into a coma using a app she knows will put them into a coma. Uihara is the only good person in that group.I know ITEM are a bunch of bad people but lets not act like the other cast of protagonists are saints. Especially after the most recent GT volume and dream ranker. "ITEM are a bunch of murderers" doesn't carry as much weight when almost every other protagonist has killed at some point.>>287046538People acting like railgun ending is some kind of mourning period. ITEM PV had to drop so it could be part of the Anime Japan 2026 reel that was starting in less than 24 hours.
>>287050547>>Saiai>Still looks like a boy. Tie.Funnily enough, I feel like Haimura draws her more girly. Perhaps it's the woolly dress that draws out her feminine charms?
>>287060559>"The good guys and Uiharu." Suggesting Uiharu isn't a good person? Lol.
>>287060118The last 20% or so of Astral Buddy was completely botched.>MC spends the whole manga growing and developing, especially as a fighter>Has a fight with a level 5 as a way to help her learn combat skills>The time comes to have the final showdown with the antagonist>The fight is not only COMPLETELY offscreen, but the main character is also COMPLETELY uninvolved in the fightIt is one of the worst finales of an action/shounen manga I've ever seen. I know a lot of people here like Gunha and aren't willing to speak his name in a negative manner, but he had no business offscreening the antagonist when Junko spent the whole manga preparing for her big moment. If you ever wonder why Astral Buddy hasn't been adapted into anime, it's because they literally have no content to work with for the last 2-3 episodes.

Fun fact: Fukuyama drew Himegami twice for Index tankoubons, both times with eyes.
>>287060649No she knew there would be side effects. Took it anyway and gave it to her friends without telling them. Then cried about it.
>>287060118People only like her looks and the ship with Touma. Almost no one give a shit about her character. What’s more, you would previously have needed to have NT11. ITEM did at least make it into Kadokawa’s top 10 once before everything was brought together under the Index project, so they must have thought it was worth giving it a go

>>287061050Railgun F (Fourth)Railgun Fi (Fifth/Final)Trust the plan (I don't)
>>287043558what's this?
>>287060118Astral Buddy is too short to convert into even a single season of anime unless it's seriously padded, and Mental Out hasn't even completed its first arc yet despite going on for almost 5 years. There's also not a good cut off point for ending the season. However, none of that is why either of the spinoffs that feature Misaki heavily is being chosen for this new attempt at an anime project. I think it's got more to do with ITEM being a sort of calculated risk. It's a deliberate attempt at offering something that has a tone and content that contrasts with Railgun's, and a group of main characters that are very different from Misaka's merry band, but are still a group of "friends" that can be marketed as such. Neither MO nor AB have that, they're in fact very Railgun flavored in terms tone and type of protagonist. The kicker here is that it's exactly the same strategy they used last time with Accelerator and Index/Railgun, where we had series about heroic protagonists on one side, and anti heroes that operate on the Dark Side of AC on the other, but hoping the cute girls with a side of SoL to boost the appeal. It's also there to ease the anime only audience there into the darker tone of Index NT in case the adaptation ever gets made, which is all but their stated final goal. >>287060751If people only cared about her looks or her relationship with Touma, Misaki wouldn't be any different from the other dozen or so other Raildex girls that have shipping with Touma and have a good design, and people would have already forgotten about her since its been 6 years since she was in any anime, but instead, she keeps getting new merch and fanart. I want ITEM to do well (In fact everyone here better hope it does), but I can almost guarantee you that even after the anime airs, Misaki will remain more popular than the entire group combined, and going by the content of the ITEM novels, quiet frankly also a better character.
I can't believe it's over...
>>287049214I was gonna write exactly what >>287051681 wrote
>>287061349I haven't been keeping up with all the news, what does the railgun manga ending mean for the series as a whole?
>>287061347Adding to the ITEM vs MO/AB and why ITEM is a calculated risk, I think Dengeki and JC staff have learned from their last rodeo that in the event of ITEM flops, they can still appease the audience with tried and true Railgun, which is part of the reason why ITEM is airing first. As for Misaki, part of me would like to believe they understood from the last To Aru animated project, and that overexposing a character like what happened to Accelerator in the aftermath of Index III + his own anime is a bad business decision when there's chance one or the other project fails, and they will still need Misaki with a pristine rep down the line for an eventual NT anime adaptation, where she will be one of the faces of the project alongside Othinus.
>>287061524For now? We'll have to wait and see how it affects the anime adaptation. In the meantime, everyone can tell it's gonna create a huge vacuum for its readership that I'm not sure how Dengeki is hoping to assuage. Maybe a Saten/Uiha/Kuroko short series?
>>287061563>where she will be one of the faces of the projectBut she only started to matter in the second half of NT which wouldn't be adapted if NT anime ever happened
>>287061347*quite
>>287061617If an NT adaptation does get made, everyone understands that the eventual goal is to get to NT9 (THE event and turning point for the franchise as a whole), and the second half of NT, which is when most of the best material and important events happen, but all of that entails the series needs a second, third and even a fourth season, provided they don't repeat the mistake of blazing through multiple novels in the span of a cour. That's exactly why I said "down the line".
>>287061704>>287035469
It's kind of amazing how the anime adaptation completely deleted every single instance of Touma saying or thinking about dorm manager onee-san in the novels
>>287058483Why is she like this?
>>287061738Does it ? I didn't read OT2 to OT13 but I don't remember him saying anything about it until NT with the biggest hint at it is OT16
>>287058496No seriously, am I crazy or does the art in the final chapter look off compared to even thw chapter or two before?
>>287058496Imagine if he was super serious about her and he took her to a hotel and started kissing her all over. He's out of character, but she remains in character. She would absolutely melt.
>>287061563>and that overexposing a character like what happened to Accelerator in the aftermath of Index III + his own anime is a bad business decision when there's chance one or the other project failsThat had nothing to do with it. First of all, Accel manga's problem is that there was barely any accel to begin with. But the reason why the anime spun its wheels is that it was right after Index 3 so the people you wanted to attract were burned, AND the director literally got brain damage and ghe entire thing fell apart. The first few episodes are decent enough, better than the manga even, but it just immediately implodes after direction wise.
>>287061734Yes, it's a huge commiment for any studio, and a daunting challange to get right even on a technical level, which no doubt has factored into why it hasn't been made yet, but since we're discussion the hypothetical of how they would go about it you have to ignore that for a bit. Also, this new project has pretty much cemented the fact that we're not getting rid of JC staff's monopoly on the franchise any time soon.
>>287033001I've had Index stuff in my backlog for YEARSwhat is this shit even about and where should I start really?
>>287061347And yet ITEM’s novels still sell better than MO’s, which only causes a buzz with the short chapters featuring Touma>>287061563Under no circumstances can she be one of the faces of the project until a hypothetical fourth season, and let’s be realistic, that’s not going to happen. It’s more profitable for them to adapt the Misamisa isekai.
>>287058646Really says a lot about the sisters arc, as well as why Misaka fell for Touma
>>287033001So what are the odds for a new railgun manga, with a new artist and maybe even set in NT? I honestly can't imagine the idea of them letting go of their cash cow this easily.
>>287058816Im sorry, but this is a pretty stupid fucking ending. I still cant believe that they would end it on the flashback arc. And they didnt even have the fucking decentcy to have some fanfare on it for a proper send offThey fucking better have a sequel manga.
>>28706194880%. The 20% is accounting for management being fucking retard as theyve shown in the past
>>287061882Battle shonen harem scifi fantasy highschool series. Highschool boy punches evil magicians, Christian clergy, scientists, and "espers" (actually another branch of magicians that don't know they're using magic) in Academy City a super-advanced city in Japan that makes espers for some reason run by disgraced magician Aleister Crowley. It's called Index because she's the first girl introduced that wants the MC's cock. She's useless. Think of it as pulp adventures where nothing of consequence ever happens for the main characters (even death) and everybody practically remains the same.Railgun is about the third girl that wants the MCs cock and is the first girl we actually meet in the series. She's the third ranked Level 5, the most powerful espers in Academy City. Story is about her adventures in the science side (so no magic). Sometimes the MC from Index comes along and helps her and she spills her spaghetti. A prequel and sidestory of the original Index novels. Essentially created because she was a fan favorite and she and her series essentially carried the entire franchise. It's complementary to Index and fo most of the time you can ignore the Index series while reading/watching this.
>>287060029>Doomposting fags were right, as always.Kek no they ducking arent. They get constantly BTFO, then when you fags get something right after 200 predictions you latch on to it. Remember when that one anon found you retards saying that the series was dead in 2012?
>>287061948People are absolutely convinced there’s going to be a sequel, but my impression is that they seem to want to move on and not be so reliant on Mikoto and start pushing her into the background. The fact that they decided to release the ITEM trailer and change the twitter account icon from Mikoto to Mugino just as the Railgun manga ended can’t be a coincidence
>>287061948Nothing indicate a new series is in the making or they would have already announced it
>>287061349I don't get it, why don't she just fuck Touma?
>>287061882It’s a novel series that has a bunch of manga spinoffs. You could start with the og series by using the wayback machine on baka tsuki.If you like that, you can read the sequel series NT by doing the same thing. After doing that, you can read the manga spinoffs.If anyone says read railgun without reading Index, they are stupid and you will get hit by a lot of shit that doesn’t make sense.
>>287062062If they do, its astoundingly retarded>hm, weve nuked all good will on Index and are in a position where we cant adapt further because it would take two seasons to get to something substantial and all new blood will be gated by a dogshit season 3>what do we do?>oh I know>LETS GET RID OF THE THING GIVING US CONSISTENT HIGH SALES LMFAO WE DONT NEED ITThis is coming from someone that gets annoyed by fags pretending like Mikoto is the sole reason for the series popularity. Because it is undeniable that she IS popular. So is Misaki. I love moogs and co but they arent remotely as popular. ITEM is not something most of the Railgun only readers are going to randomly pick up. Its something LN fags will, and railgun manga readers.... except now you just burned railgun mangafags by this fucking abysmal handling of the "finale". The only way this has a shot in hell of working is if they give a sequel manga to make people not feel as burned. It would need to be slowly eased at best.But the thing is that theyre so retarded that they might actually be letting this go
>>287062143too tsun to ever admit ither tsun tendency got him into the bad habit of never associating her actions with love (since she zapped him every single time cuz tsun)
>>287061948Heres my prediction. They are waiting to see how ITEM takes. And when it pans because railgunfags are salty about the dogshit manga ending, the retards in management will go "HURRRR I GUESS THAT MEANS ITS A BAD IDEA TO ADAPT ITEM" and then will scramble to get a sequel manga going OR hastily say that Railgun will continue past the manga during the railgun anime (they get Kamachi to crank out more railgun novels).Its the same fucking situation as HO. They burn the core audience that would have given it a chance which kills the work, and take away all the wrong things from it. I fucking hate every single one of these cocksuckers. It is fucking unbelievable how badly they have sabotaged the franchise. I need to learn how to draw and animate myself because I am confident that I can produce something better/faster for adapting the series simply because I give a fuck.
>>287036821uiharu's vagina...
>>287062194At a minimum, they'll need a different mangaka to cover whatever they intend to do with Railgun going forward because Fuyukawa is completely burned out. They didn't really have a choice but to end it, at least for now, with the arc that's been going on for five years at least concluding
>>287058463The Touma stuff is so out of left field with like no acknowledgement.>hey heres the guy you havent seen for half the manga oh ol byeThis entire thing is so fucking abrupt. No really, go back and look at the end of jailbreaker. "I got the ability to hack reality for some reason lmao" had more wrap up than this. It literally just was Mikoto going "hm, I remember this thing about the past" and then it never even went back to that point in the fucking manga. We NEVER saw current timeline again. We never even got her focusing back in on the other railguns and being like "gee I sure learned a lot I truly was a certain scientific railgun trademark symbol all along". We got NOTHING.Holy fuck the more I think about it, the more pissed I am. I was numb and sad before this. A little mad at it wasting 5 years on a stupid flashback, but mostly sad. But i thought, I fucking THOUGHT the Fuyu would have the fucking decency to give us a 40 page send off and some fanservice (not even talking lewd, just show us the fucking characters people like and the ones you showed for the past 5 fucking years. No, Kongou on the last page doesnt make up for it).But no. No, you cant even be fucked enough to do that. Im no longer sad, im fucking mad. Fuck you. I dont give a FUCK how burned out you are. Unless you are literally dying in a week, you have no fucking excuse. I hope his shit fucking flops and he retires in disgrace. I hope that every fucking person managing this shit gets AIDS and dies so we might have a snowballs chance in hell of getting someone actually fucking competent on this.I am so fucking mad.
>>287062375Hope his next shit*
Am i the only one that feels kinda sad that our hick autist imouto never showed up to cry in the threads about it?
>>287062424She'll be there for the anime im sure. Or shes dead
>>287058496if this were any other opponent she would have magnetised some object to block him instead of cowering like a bitch
Now that the chapter is out I’m reposting this for any anons last month that needed the PDFs/EPUBs for the LNshttps://mega.nz/folder/9T9jWTZb#LkJxlmqCEVUamxul63JVeA
>>287062565I mean, he could just touch it and it would fall over. It's definitely played up, but she's afraid there's really nothing she can do to stop him. It's not entirely true but she doesn't know that.
>>287060619I don't really like the artstyle, only Saiai looks good here.
Shutting down the gacha game was the most stupid thing they've ever doneChink paypigs were essentially funding it with their whalingLiterally no fucking reason to EOS it
>>287062062It's just going to change back when its time to promote the railguns 4th season...Its been a day and railgun fans are really going fully schizo conspiracy theorist. They're actually trying to promoting a new series that deserves a chance to succeed. not pander to railgun fans by only ever marketting misaka and railgun adjecent characters. They literally throw one side character a bone and everyone feels threatened and spouts replacement theory bull shit? Embarassing.
>>287063078Oh shut the fuck up, railgun fans are rightfully mad at a dogshit ending after a pointless fucking 5 year arc, then theyre going LOOK LOOK ITEM LOOK.I LIKE ITEM. But its fucking insulting and the exact same shit is going to happen to it with HO. Stop fucking over other fucking series to promote the new thing.
Kingsford owns Touma sex
>>287063078>and spouts replacement theory bull shitMerely a coincidence goy
SISTERS spinoff when
Is Himegami still irrelevant?
>>287055016He is an artificial intelligence sent back in time by a fan from 2099 to revitalize Kamachi's works in the West. There is no other explanation for how he's been able to keep this up for so long
There should a spin-off for Touma's ragtag group of freeloaders
>>287062586>reading>in the year of our lord 2026lol, lmao even
>>287058816>Now the only way to get more Railgun content is to have a new Index anime and hope they release a new novelhaha...
>>287063194They're going: "Look at Railgun and ITEM, our two upcoming animes"Literally promotional material for railgun just dropped and you're crying neglect. Nevermind your upcoming anime.What does Railgun being bad for the past 5 years have anything to do with ITEM? You can be mad sure, but that doesn't mean the rest of the community can't enjoy their toys. Talk about spoiled.
>>287063440Wrong thread my third world friend
>>287063491You and the retarded management team learned nothing from The HO bair and switch.
>>287063489Kamachi coukd shit out 5 railgun novels in a year and they still wont animate it because they ar ethat fucking retarded
>both AC chairmen are pervertsgrim
>>287055016It's legitimately impressive how fast he is. I translate stuff too, and still my output never managed to match his even after reaching N1. Nowadays I'm just a LLM's TL checker.
I hope his next manga series involves JKs. I

>>287063785JS*
>>287063884Kamachi can always write more KamiKuro in GT instead
>>287063720There's no bait and there's no switch. and there's no evil editor mugino-stan in the background that axed railgun.Here's an anime for ITEM and here's an anime for Railgun. Everyone wins, sorry the manga you haven't liked for 5 years ended but the mangaka wants to work on something else and hopefully you can enjoy reading that alongside whatever future plans they have for (checks notes) one of Dengekis biggest series and money makers.
>>287058816Oh, how I would have loved a short arc of one or two volumes adapting Mikoto’s adventures during the war ,and that, in a hypothetical future anime season, it would have paved the way for an adaptation of SS2 too. Although I suppose that would have been a very poor place to end the series.Oh, and how I would have loved it to have reached NT territory. However much people say Mikoto has a very busy schedule, an NT3 from her pov, or doing the same with Ichihanaransai as they did with Daihasei, would have been cool.I’ve really enjoyed the series, but even so, I’m left feeling that they haven’t made use of even half the potential it had.
I miss Thor
>>287063769the most impressive things isn't how fast he is, but the fact that he's that fast will doing a really good job with his translations, he seen translation taking way way longer will being absolute dogshit

Now that railgun is finally over, it's time for you lolicons to grow up and start being attracted to adult women.
There are peopple on Twitter still complaining about the ending, other people reposting every piece of Railgun fanart they can find like their life depends on it.Meanwhile Okara made one post pretty much just saying "Congrats" and spends the rest off the time talking about his drawing tablet or whatever. That's the KamiKoto GOAT right there.
>>287061854>That had nothing to do with it. First of all, Accel manga's problem is that there was barely any accel to begin with. That doesn't matter. You and me can make that kind of autopsy as fans, but it doesn't change that what a Raildex animeonly fan saw was a (bad) show with Accelerator as the lead that most didn't like, followed by another Index anime where Accelerator had plenty of screen time that most watchers also found disappointing. The end result was that the anime flopping also got the Accel manga cancelled, and that's what executives see. So this time, they're opening up with the project they can afford to drop if it goes wrong. Btw, if screen time for the MC is the concern, then an MO anime would run into the exact same issue. >>287061886>And yet ITEM’s novels still sell better than MO'sWe don't really know that. As I recall, ITEM got into the oricon ranking once (which only tracks physical copies) at the beginning of its run and I never heard of it ranking again, whereas MO is conceived as a digital manga first and foremost. I hardly doubt either is selling enough copies to justify an anime adaptation based on that merit alone, either way. Plus, even if MO was selling fewer copies, executives could still make the decision to prioritize its anime adaptation based on the return they would get on selling more post anime Misaki & MisaMisa merch alone, and yet they didn't. They know they already have that with the new Railgun anime anyway. The number of volume copies sold was likely one the things they were least concerned about when they made the choice. >Under no circumstances can she be one of the faces of the project until a hypothetical fourth seasonI did say down the line, but Misaki made a cameo appearance in volume 5, and had several scenes with Touma in NT7. That's season one material, and short appearances like that would actually help to drum up interest.
>>287066287Not as long as ITEM has a JC (12 years old) on their team
>>287066287If even Touma can’t get the dorm hag of his dream, the likes of me stand no chance
>>287066287I've always liked the adult women in Raildex like Kanzaki, Orsolo and Yomikawa better, the only exceptions were Misaki, Kongou and Itsuwa. Moogs will always be a hag in my heart too.
>>287062424I had forgotten about her. Isn't that annoying cunt anime-only anyway?
>>287062147I think the first two arcs of Railgun are enhanced by not knowing anything about Touma
>>287067866Surely you're not talking about the sisters arc. If you don't know who he is, the resolution feels like an asspull.
I got bored and stopped reading a while ago. someone give me the qrd on how kuroko became obsessed with misaka.
>>287066693>had several scenes with Touma in NT7. That's season one materialIt better fucking not be.
>>287060051>Now that the dust has settled, what killed the hype?People are saying it is past arc which is true but I also think it is a symptom of a greater problem that was brewing since Daihaseisai ended. A lack of direction. Level Upper is the shortest arc but it sets up brainwave network of the Sisters arc and the overall major antagonist in Kihara Gensei, these things pay off heavily when everything comes to a head at Daihaseisai where he is defeated and the city is saved... and then what?The first 3 arcs which are often touted as the best arcs took 7 years of Railguns 19 year run, the following 11 are Dream Ranker, Jailbreaker and Past, IE the decline. Who is the main antagonist for the back half? What are they building towards in the back half? Dream Ranker is a bottle episode, a good one but it ends with itself. Jailbreaker calls back the dragon but only as a monster of the week and gives temporary Uiharu a Super Saiyan mode but then it ends. Then the final quarter goes on flashback vacation.Railguns major problem was that their stories stopped having connecting tissue after Daihaseisai. Either they shouldn't have blown their entire load there or they should have started building new connective tissue during or immediately after. They needed a direction to go in, one that had a conclusion in mind. They needed a Gensei to replace the one they killed off but instead they treaded water with Doppleganger and Kimi and then just kinda gave up moving forward with Sha and the Past arc.
>>287068669She saved her from being stepped on by a ghost dinosaur. Don't think to hard about it.
>>287068880Seems just barely acceptable to me assuming 25-26 episodes.
Note: Kiyoshi died on the way back to her home planet
>>287069289NT volumes are 60-100 pages longer than OT and the best paced season (one) had to kneecap two volumes to make 6 fit. Please let it be 6 volumes.
>>287069151Doesn't help that the ban on magic meant we were never getting WW3. And being so far behind story wise meant that everything had to wrapped by the end of a given arc because no one really showed up again. It would have been nice to see Vento's attack or OT15 from Misaka's pov tho. But she did very little in either arc.
>>287069289They wouldn’t go farther than NT6 just because another season would end on either NT10 or 11
>>287069467It would be funny for an arc to have Mikoto in Russia or Hawaii and not explain why she's there, how she got there, and just blurred magical stuff in the background she ignores while she goes on her little bonus adventure.
>>287069411Let's be honest, NT2 exists to be kneecapped and pretty hard.
>>287069709It's the shortest volume I think and would be a godsend to the anime to have a sit down and explain magic shit group of episodes.
If modern if staff was adapting Index, they would have a png of Touma sliding around to punch people and have the worst color changes in existence.
>>287070861Jc staff I mean.
>>287070861>Toaru Majutsu no Index by Knack ProductionsThat would be cinema!
>>287063194I'm a huge Mikotofag and hated the flashback and I want the editor to be executed for it but I'm still looking forward to the /a/itemu anime. Mugino deserves more love.
I… actually thought OT1 adaptation was enjoyabletoo bad everything that followed sucked. They shouldn’t have tried to cram 6 volumes in 2 courI really thought it would only be 4 volumes since OT1 took 6 episodes
>>287071735I don’t mind them shuffling some of OT5 around and I get why they got rid of the serial killer plot line in OT4 but removing dummy Izzard in OT2 was a mistake since that was when Touma was supposed to resolve to not kill anyone
Is saying the sisters railgun arc being overrated a hot take? I think it’s a good arc but not “one of the best in the franchise” levels of good.
>>287072747nah, saying battle royal and ww3 are overrated are much hotter takes.
>>287068880Assuming an average of 4 episodes per novel, vol. 7 would be season 1 finale or early season 2, so it works out.
>>287067075>Kanzaki>AdultYou are such a pedo lol
>>287073035I only like adult women
>>287073161She doesn't even look 12 (and that's a good thing)
Kanzaki's lack of appearances and tendency to job when she does show is the reason for her decline in popularity. She would have been at least index level if she stuck around. They let Index and Tsuchi stay in AC with no issue, why not her?
>>287073161Where's my misunderstanding comedy spinoff of Komoe and Oumi getting into shenanigans together while they both keep stubbornly assuming the other is an actual child
>>287072747Depends. The novel version is just alright, but the Railgun manga are is indeed one of the best stories in the franchise.
>>287073393Tsuchi is an esper, so it's more surprising that they let him out.Etzali on the other hand...
>>287073035Kanzaki is 18 years old. She's legal by every standard in the developed world, and a fossil by Raildex standards.
>>287066287Even the late JCs in Mental Out are too old for me. I hope we get a JS spinoff.
>>287072747It got the best adaptation which stands out, but I think index has several volumes better than the sisters arc by now
Do 2004 orginalfags exist and are here any left? I got into this franchise in 2014.
>>287074335I highly doubt anyone outside of Japan knew about this series before the anime
>>287067526Yea but she sort of mellowed out and is now just out bratty imouto
>>287074335I got into it in 2009. The west didnt really know about the series until the anime
>>287074335We didn't have translations before js06. When I joined when the anime came out there were big gaps in the translation. I didn't start reading until after ww3 I herd the Accel splits russia thing and had to jump back in.
>>287071735That first arc in the anime was what got me into this franchise. I read somewhere that the only time Kamachi put his foot down was to make sure that it was adapted close to fully as possible, which is why it got 6 episodes. NT's best bet for a good adaptation would be 5-6 episodes for most volumes, but I'm not betting on that.
Why wont they let another studio do it?
>>287073161>specializes in pyrokineticsIf Stiyl wasnt such an insufferable cunt, Id shop her with him
>>287074335I got into it around 2009-2010 unfortunately.
>>287074657We had one or two, but it was really slow. The main one was Teh Ping, which was JP > CN > ENG
>>287074936I believe JC is part of the production committee, that’s sort of like how Mappa does the entire production for CSM. The upside to this is that the studio has a vested interest in continuing to animate it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwnGaYtQnjUPSI-missing is the most nostalgic opening for me. Up at 3am during summer break bingeing the series. Better time.
>>287075059>The upside to this is that the studio has a vested interest in continuing to animate itComing up to 8 years since Index 3.
Will Kamachi ever show his true face?
>>287075188Well there’s no Railgun left for them to fall back onto after this
>>287075164Same
>>287075164Academy city has monorail everywhere but have we ever seen them use public transport? Every character seems to just walk or drive on their own.
>>287075493I remember a bus being attacked in Railgun 1
>Yugioh Aleister is getting an anime adaptation before NT>with the voice of QuenserThis fucking timeline, man
>>287043223mangafire has all the mangadex chapters archived right before the purge. they have staff overlaps and knew the purge was coming.
>>287075493Mikoto has used the bus a couple times. There's never been any mention of a monorail. Accel had drivers, Hamazura is a driver, and Touma is aggressively poor.
>>287075188>8 years since Index 3
>>287075164Psy missing really gives the whole series a much darker and more melancholic tone.And while that sort of mood was definitely present in OT1, it's lost very quickly.Touma never really gets involved in Dark Side nonsense, which is a shame.
>>287075596Still my favorite fusion archetype
>>287075188>8 years since Index 3wait there's no way rightare you serious?
>>287075290>Well there’s no Railgun left for them to fall back onto after thisDepends. They can do a lot with what is left considering that both Jailbreaker and Past arc feel unfinished. The next season can do Jailbreaker in 12 episodes and spend the rest of the season doing a story about wtf happened with Uiharu in the last few chapters intermixed with slice of life. Then they can dedicate the next season to past arc and use the extra episodes to actually bother to explain wtf happened with Yayoi or have Mikoto make up with Kiyoshi.Even if they do a Jailbreaker + Past combo and run out of material, that doesn't mean that they are out of material. There is still the Railgun novels to fall back on. Even if they don't use anything at all, 3/4ths of season 1 and 1/3rd of season 2 of Railgun was just pulled out of their ass. They can just make a new season out of nothing.
>>287075696>Ash Meltdown?drew Aleister.>Veiler Aleister?drew Invocation.
>>287075493There was this train that one time
>>287075722It will be 8 years since it started in October, it’s been 7 since it ended That said I’m fairly certain covid is partially responsible for the Railgun T -> Item gap, I remember the JC president said they were basically booked out for 5 years back in 2020
>>287075493Misaka rides the train during that one part of the opening where she's looking the blitzloop this planet to search way
>>287075691It wasn't depicted as well or at all in some cases in the anime, but OT2 had the izzard dummy and the kids getting used, discarded, and turned into gold, OT3 is pretty obvious, and OT4 had the serial killer. It ebbs and flows, but Touma deals with some fucked up stuff on the magic side. The worst of which putting anything the darkside can do to shame.
>>287075691Huh? Half of Index arcs have dark themes
>>287076140If you’re anime only I kinda get why someone would think that, a lot of the dark stuff in early OT got cut and then Touma got thrown into church conflicts for most of the rest of OT. That’s even touched on in NT and GT, Gremlin was using dirty tactics he wasn’t used to and GT sorta even had a narrative of Touma getting involved in the dark side like he hadn’t before
>>287076140>>287075929Even in the early novels, the tone isn't really there. There's always a clear way out, a way through what's right in front and getting through that is all that's needed.To use concrete example, the story of OT3 is quite dark and horrid, but all that's required is for Touma to show up and get through whatever is right in front of him.Meanwhile, making Misaka the protagonist gives the whole thing a much more desperate and hopeless tone.
>>287075596Should've been piss tube-era Aleister and Fool's journey.
>>287075757>Imperms ur path
>>287076346That's a bit of a different ballgame than just being melancholic. That's borderline grimdark and something I wouldn't really think of as the tone of this series even from just that opening. And we had the ultimate example of that in NT9.
>>287076346>the story of OT3 is quite dark and horrid, but all that's required is for Touma to show up and get through whatever is right in front of him.That kind touma whole deal,as long as he around thing wouldn't reach their most gruesome ending It become a plot point in NT12
>>287076346Grimdark isnt melancholic. Dark themes are present and the OST reflects that. To say it doesnt refkect that is ludicrous
>>287076140He meant Science's Dark Side. Actually there's way too much magic. Science is just there to get mogged. That's lame.
>>287076540>>287077071There's nothing "grimdark" about problems not being immediately solvable by punching the right guy.
>>287077129>people being murdered and exploted? Nah bro thats not dark or melancholic
>>287077192again, the question is in HOW the problem is solved, not WHAT the problem is.
>>287077101It's called a certain magical index.
>>287077346she's there, anon
