>>291690548
>>291690559:(
I just started this anime so I dont know whats happening but I will say that I really like the artwork.
>>291690294moogs and potato seem roughly the same tit size here
Bit of a short chapter, no?
One thing I despise is that the anime made Mugino’s beams green. I’m pretty certain they were never stated to have a color other than white in the novels.
>>291690620about average for item
>>291690806Wasn't it that thing where Blue/green have the same word and they flipped coin. More important wasn't Mikoto's Lightning purple
>>291690836Pretty sure Fuze Kazakiri that had the purple (in WW3). I don’t think Misaka ever was said to have purple lightning once at all.
>>291690937>"For one thing, this heat isn't caused by the sunlight," said Mikoto.>She snapped her fingers and a small line of purple electricity ran the fingertips.From NT16. I have no idea why I remember this.
>>291690937It is purple on OT3 cover and describe as such in the Novel.>The sound of the purple sparks flowing from Mikoto’s body grew heavier and sharper.>Purple electricity was overflowing from her entire body. With just a light flick of her thumb, Misaka Mikoto could fire the Railgun she was named for at three times the speed of sound.>The spear of purple electricity moved forward at the speed of light and held enough destructive force to knock someone unconsciousAlso the NT 15 colored page
>>291690996>>291691037Wait, was it always like that? I could have sworn some of the earlier illustrations in OT had it be blue
Extremely ironic for this mourning of Hanano due to what her identity is and what she has done in the latest novel.
finally read all of the tld chs of the misaki manga, now about to start astral budyoh yeah, how good is the railgun manga? I also downloaded it that one but not sure if I should read the item ln or the railgun manga once im done with astral budy
>>291691912Railgun kind of ruins the rest of the series since everything else pales in comparison.
>>291691998lol
>>291692038?
>>291691998Not really. It was pretty good but then everything after Daihasesei just felt meh. Extremely disappointing ending arc too.
>>291691912Railgun before Astral Buddy. AB follows up on the third and fourth arcs of Railgun. MO is also a sequel to AB but it doesn’t contain any spoilers for AB.>>291691998Not really. After the third arc, nothing in railgun could reach that level for the rest of its publication. Index is obviously superior, and I’d say that the Item LNs might have already surpassed Railgun.
>fake ITEM>fake #6>trying to replace mugino>replacing the voice on the phone>Aihana's name lending gimmick>the spoilers from the current volumeI wonder if ITEM will continue after Identity theme gets sorted out
>>291691998Most regulars have been prefering ITEM for a long while since Railgun was in absolute dogshit hell for 5 years then ended with a whimpering fart. It lost its magic after the first half, the recent storytime made it abundantly clear. Jailbreakers had loads of potential but then it answered nothing and we led into said retarded flashback arc.
>>291692145You didn't really expect it to end with her pregnant did you? It was always going to have a disappointing end since that would be the only satisfying way to end it.
>>291691912Railgun, then Astral Buddy. Shame you missed the read-along a few months back, they were fun.
>>291692185This isn't a democracy, if you disagree with me that just makes you wrong.
>>291692197I expected progression. I still dont buy that they couldnt do Railgun shit in NT, they had no problems following people other then Mikoto for many chapters at a time and its not like Mikoto was attached to Touma 24/7 in NT. Its fucking bullshit.
Unrelated to ITEM but Kuroko-chan is cute and I want to cuddle and fugg her.
>>291692219Sorry I hurt your feefees anon-kun
>>291692239Touma's wife is indeed very cute
>>291692265>MY WIFE is not the issue here!
>>291690448the anime is being werid about butts but it better be ok about showing JC panties because if its not then whats the point.
>>291692251I appreciate your consideration, thank you.
>>291692239>>291692265We need another kamikuro moment I think. Im addicted to seeing her be princess carried.
>>291692332It provides a base for fans to fix with AI.
>>291690413I need more gore in raildex. The level of violence depicted in early volumes of OT rarely appears anymore. Details are mostly glossed over even if horrible things happen.
>>291690559thanks Frenda, let's shout it louder next time for everyone to hear
hmm lots of mugino armpit focus in the anime
>>291692407>Details are mostly glossed over even if horrible things happen.I think you are forgetting it. Like Frillsand's blender, everything that happens to Touma, Aleister's massacre, CRC getting brutalized, etc.
>>291692469Every part of Mugino is perfect.
>>291692407I wish the series would pick a lane JC content or more violence instead of the this weird middle group its always had
>>291692495Except being walled off emotionally
>>291692202>>291692158alright then the plan is decidedmanga of railgun and then ab, follwoed by item lnoh yeah one last question, since when junko is sparring partner of gunha? this caught me off guard when IWas reading mo
>>291690448That's semen
>>291692526I wish frogs had wings.
>>291692546Youll see in AB, literally.
How old is Mugino?
>>291692564she's a child you sick fuck
>>29169257552
>>291692575No, asking for real. I've always wondered her age since espers can't be that old, but she looks older than most cast. Don't even know if she goes to high school though is what makes the most sense out of the setting. Was her age said in ITEM?
>>291692575its true even adult women are children
I'm all caught up on the item anime. Should I watch railgun? Is it good?
>>291692623Don't watch it, you don't deserve it.
>>291690242Crazy ass nord
>>291692623Yes
>>291692575Kuroko is also a child and is the sexiest girl in the Raildex universe.
>>291692592Nah, we dont know exact age. Of her and a lot of characters actually. Mikoto is the only one with an official birthday too IIRC
FUCK MISAKI
>>291692697t. her whole clique
My daughter Misaki wont ever get the loves she deserves in animated form again...
Is my torrent low quality or is this the norm for 2009 animus?
>>2916927612009 was 17 years ago, mate
>>291692769fuck...
>>291690294Is it just me, or is ITEM's plot just a lot of "let's raid the enemy base" like an edgy comic from the 90's? What I'm trying to say is, are ITEM Raildex version of the WildC.A.T.S/Youngblood?https://youtu.be/6oOAg5mw7Sg?si=NP1xvRVFf1gjFUYNhttps://youtu.be/JP7YiOeXifU?si=Xb8BpupJeFDRSLxq
>>291692769>>291692782And no girl over 17 is still woth mating with!
>>291692810Thank god, Mugino is still fair game.
>>291690370>no matter the cost[You got the touch intensifies]
>>291691912>MO>ABIf you like Misaki, you're gonna love Railgun...from about chapter 43 and onwards. It's actually a pretty good manga overall, though it arguably reached its peak with its first 3 or 4 first arcs.
>>291692782This made boomers cum and shit themselves
>>291692495
>>291692407something that I found weird when reading MO was that the author, artist, or whoever is in charge have no issues with the girls beating the shit out each other but they avoid at all cost showing their panties, like its fucking ridiculous because there are a lot of scenarios in which we their panties should be visible but they always censor them in very lame ways, which is weird because they had no issues showing us a naked misaki and mikoto in the special pool ch. oh and they also showed something a bit gory that time when the only remaining parts of a guy were his feetso gore might be ok but no panties lmao
>>291692988Correct
>>291692988>so gore might be ok but no panties lmaoThis is America
>>291693259I believe it's spelled Weimerica now.
>>291692407>The level of violence depicted in early volumes of OT rarely appears anymore.Someone already forgot about GT3.
when are we getting Kakine spin off? his group is more interesting than this hag's
>>291693374When cars fly.
>>291690448Esper Ability Level 5: Cum Shot
>>291693422already happened
Ultra
>>291693374There was already a Kakine spinoff
>>291692761First seasons of Railgun and Index are 720p upscaled to 1080p on home video. That's why it's so soft looking.
What would happen in let's say 20 years with all the grown adult espers, naturally born new espers and multiple new esper generations with surely a bunch of Level 5 espers among them?
>>291692495Is Mugino a virgin?
I forgot Index S3 is already a thing
How many level 5s haven't lost to a level 0?
Pick your color on the tracksuit sentai
>>291693465And cars already fly.
>gorilla with a short fuse>retarded druggie>smelly traitor>flatThe only correct choice is none
>>291690432RAPE TIME
>>291691912Sister, Daihasesei and Jailbreak arcs are the only ones worth reading, skip the rest
I hope when the anime gets to volume 2 (and it better do, would be some real monkey paw shit otherwise), they'll make some nice little updates to the OP visuals. This shot in particular is just ASKING for it.
Who was in the wrong here?
>>291694244Moogino
Should I go straight to railgun s2 after s1e12? I read the rest of S1 is filler and isn't that good
>>291694673Filler is the best part of anime.
>>291694732Hmm I just want to catch up to S3 and the accelerator movie
>>291692893mugino is a psyop by the japanese government to make otakus like adult woman again.
>>291694757Filthy heathen.
>>291694244Mugino was so pent up Homozura couldn't handle it
>>291694822I'm 17 years too late for the series bwo, I need to catch up
>>291690559Wow. she sure cares about her team. I'm glad she won't do anything untoward that will betray her team's trust later down the line.
Mugino should have kept the fucked up eye and energy arm instead of just completely fixing her.
>>291694757The fillers are all shit, skip them
>>291695160The energy arm is a handicap outside of combat since she can't use it for ordinary stuff, she should have turned the robot arm into a weapon to use her powers better
why is she a schizo
>>291695322They don't have Uiharu or a Misaka who can just hack shit for info.
>>291695338frenda can hack speedreader-kun
>>291695345Apparently not good enough, tranny-kun.
>>291695352sorry
I have a question for those of you still reading the LNs. How is GT? Do they cohere well with OT/NT? Do you feel rewarded for your patience sticking with a two decade-long series, or are you following it out of obligation/sunk cost fallacy? More to the point, does it seem like Kamachi is still having fun coming up with new characters and concepts and things that are worth the plot detours? Or do you get a sense of editor-mandated water treading and cynical fan service?
>>291695180You are shit.
>>291695420My mistake.
Why did she do it?
>>291695446The meme answer is Frenda deserved itThe non-meme answer is Mugino was stressedThe real answer is she was on her period
>>291695472Let's be honest, no one liked frienda.
>>291695489Frenda had a lot of frens including Satan because she was a good fren, da
>>291693967>Im fucking gay and love gargling on semenHappy for you bro, but we're trying to talk about ITEM here
>>291695519I was thinking of the readers.
>>291693596Yes. Very much so.
>>291695528>no one liked a throwaway character until Kamachi decided to go back and flesh out her character and prime Uchida Maya voiced her in Railgun Sno shit. This is also why Birdway never caught on with the fans
>>291695519>SatanTruly an agent of darkness.
>>291695564>untilThat just made me like her even less.
>>291695367>How is GT?It's good but ti lack direction, we need a final villain>Do they cohere well with OT/NT?Yes>Do you feel rewarded for your patience sticking with a two decade-long series, or are you following it out of obligation/sunk cost fallacy?I like the worldbuilding, the more I get the more I'm happy>More to the point, does it seem like Kamachi is still having fun coming up with new characters and concepts and things that are worth the plot detours?If he wasn't having fin anymore he would have ended it already>Or do you get a sense of editor-mandated water treading and cynical fan service?Sometimes Misaka and Misaki appear just for fanservice and then leave shortly after
>>291695652>If he wasn't having fin anymore he would have ended it alreadyLet's say tomorrow Kamachi got out of bed and said to himself "I think I've had my fun with the To Aru LN series, the spinoffs will continue but it's time to start wrapping up the LNs". How many novels would it take him to do so satisfactorily and tie up all the loose ends?
>>2916957101
>>291695710>>291695785Who wins da Toumab owl
>>291695815Misaka, no harem end.
>>291695815Kuroko obviously, she can supply infinite eggs and his terrible luck coincides with her being opposite of his taste
>>291695815Orsola
>>291695815I feel like this would have been a big deal 10 years ago but no one would give a shit now
>>291695815>yfw it's a Haganai end
>>291695892You severely underestimate how rabid the Mikoto fanbase or the loyalty of the nip fanbase
>>291695921>the rabid Mikoto fanbaseThey been neutered over the years with Misamisa soft yuribait
>>291695949Nah, now they just want the threesome end
>>291695957No way, a normal monogamous marriage.
>>291694673You should at least watch 13 for fanservice, and 14 is a sort of epilogue for the first arc. From episode 20 onwards, although they’re anime original, they’re canon (just like the OVA). Besides, it’s not as bad as a lot of people say; what’s really bad is the STUDY arc in the second season, although the final episode is great because of all the fanservice it has.
>>291696048Thanks so I'll watch 1-14 of S1 and then continue 20-24. I'm on 10 and the quality of the show got much better from ep 7 onwards
>>291696048>final episode>all the fripSide songs play EXCEPT Only my railgunkek'd
>>291695921I’d say that spot is currently taken by Misaki’s fanbase>>291696095Watch the OVA too if you want to see schizokoto
>>291696214Satan...
>>291696252worse character
>>291696214That's the adult video actress.
>>291696256
>>291696181>back when OVAs had great animation and even got their own theme songI want to go back
>>291696181I like Kuroko and her voice so I'll definitely watch it, thanks for the heads-up
>>291696281
>>291696282Do recent animes still have OVAs? Which are the ones that suck?
>>291696297
>>291696300OVAs were outlawed last year.
>>291696300The last one I bothered to check out was Strike the Blood. It was ok, but not up to JC Staff Railgun level
>>291696296One of the twin scientists being that close is funny
>>291696296>two Lolas>short hair is love and long hair is acquaintanceLNschizos explainI thought she was kill
>>291696411Where's the second Lola?
>>291696282I really like that fucking opening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0nh4Fmc3zk&list=RDx0nh4Fmc3zk&start_radio=1
>>291696447Isn't that her next to Misaka
>>291696448Are they gonna unretire the original singer for Railgun F?
>>291696448huh so that's where this song was from
>>291696480Thats Crowley in Lola's body
>>291696448I forgot what this OVA was even about.
>>291696411The short hair lola is aleister.Aleister is getting closer and closer with every new body.
So is Aliceter in the bowl?
>>291696539All I remember is that there was some random Anti Skill lady cop who was up to no good and there's a speedboat chase at the end. Mikoto blows her out of the water and then does the usual "aw shucks there's no place like Academy City!" at the end
>>291696592Oh, right, hags, the native enemy of Railgun girls.
>>291694673>>291694757Do not watch the second part of season 2, the silent party arc is not necessary. It’s filler and is the worst arc in the franchise.
>>291696621Silence pleb.
>>291696621Is kuroko in it?I will enjoy it if so
>>291696621why is it bad? i was reading around and the general consensus is to skip it
>>291696636He's right, Silent Party fucking sucked. Are you that fag that tried to defend it, say only a small minority of people didnt like it, and got absolutely wrecked for it a few months ago?
>>291696703Calm down foid.
>>291696699The villains are incredibly unthreatening but are presented as a big deal, Saten does things that a normal Level 0 girl wouldn't have the ability nor knowledge to pull off, and it's just a big drop off from the high of the Sisters arc. Do you enjoy watching the girls go shopping for rice cookers? Can you buy Saten destroying a battle mech with a baseball bat? If so then you might enjoy it more than /a/ did while it was airing. For better or worse it is very much anime original filler.
>>291696636>>291696699I watched Silent party, nothing was good about it. The final episode was just the opening playing on repeat for the entire episode. It genuinely gave me a headache. It also got one extremely minor mention in one railgun spinoff and never again. Characters act extremely stupid, like Misaka accepting herself to get drugged, when she could just strike fast and move to get the thing. STUDY are the worst antagonists in the franchise, no character as they all blend with each other, no backstory as it is just “oh they smart low level. They upset that high levels are focused on” and does basically nothing with that. It is worse than the Nectar arc.
>>291696786Satan has always been powerful.
>>291696582Alice pretty much, she wanted to stay with touma but if she did, all the attention would be on him, the same with anna.Aleister was depressed asf in GT12 after touma's dead, shit he alongside index, accel and alice were the only ones who took his dead seriously.Aleister while crying was asking herself what she should tie her existence to after touma's dead and if there was any reason for her to live (RIP Lilith lol) and wants to protect him more than anyone at this point.
>>291696786>>291696817Don't forget ITEM randomly joining the fight at the end because... because they felt like it, though the no-powered Judgment teens with riot shields and poke sticks were doing fine on their own
>>291696699For starters it cant actually have happened without weird timeline fuckery. They "canonized" it as an event that "happened", but it would have had to have been expedited and gone totally different for it to work on the main timeline in any capacity.Then you get to Nagai's insistence on not following world building. Kuroko's teleport is essentially a portal gun in canon. She conserves momentum. This was shown in easier seasons of the anime, so this isnt even a "novels/manga vs anime" thing. Yet Nagai decided to make it not conserve momentum in the episode 1 filler of Railgun S, and then extended it to silent party. Hence all the shit that happens at the end of the arc would mean that Mikoto/Kuroko should be fucking dead from having no way to stop the fall. Yes, this absolutely is a deal breaker because if Kuroko can manipulate fucking momentum, she can solve just about anything in the arc itself even without lethal force. It inherently makes no sense, even setting aside blatant inconsistencies in the plot.This isnt the end of these problems. The entire arc hinged on Mikoto drinking retard juice. She could have solves everything instantly otherwise. And mechs that somehow she cant manipulate, even though she manipulates far more advanced mech much later in the timeline, by the hundreds.The story in and of itself is lackluster and boring. The loli character that they introduce is somehow even more boring which is astounding since she actually had a cute design. The villians are fucking lame. The only thing good anyone can ever say about it is the ending because they play most of the Railgun OP/Eds to try to artificially drum up hype and have a big "everyone showed up to help" moment because they were banking on you forgetting how poor and nonsensical the story was leading up to this point. Said ending, again, should have resulted in Mikoto and Kuroko dying since Kuroko cant manipulate momentum.They could have adapted Railgun SS1 instead.
>>291696539Some slut doing experiments, the side effects of which make Mikoto feel as though she’s being watched all the time and cause her to become paranoid
>>291696786>Can you buy Saten destroying a battle mech with a baseball bat?Dont forget, mechs that Mikoto had trouble against. Somehow.
>>291696889>They could have adapted Railgun SS1 insteadAnd now we'll never get it animated, unless Dengeki and JC Staff teeter on bankruptcy and Miki in his desperation commissions a movie
>>291696889Your grammar is bad so I'm discarding your opinion.
>>291692782They wouldn't have done this now, and it wasn't good enough even then.
>>291696889>And mechs that somehow she cant manipulate, even though she manipulates far more advanced mech much later in the timeline, by the hundreds.She can't hack them because they aren't normal mechs that run on electricity. They are hollow and manipulated by Janie's ability diffusion ghost that physically manipulates the moving parts.
I haven't paid attention to Index for years. Did the vampires ever show up?
>>291696962>I cant refute a single thing so Ill try to say your grammar is bad to run away and save faceHey, remember last time you claimed it was good and when pressed you said everyone liked it when it aired, only to get blown the fuck out with hard evidence to the contrary?https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/290054495/#q290084450Oh hey here are the links againhttps://desuarchive.org/a/thread/94073906/#94076584https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/32357866https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/32314308
>>291697055No but Kamachi remembered that Himegami exists
uhhh im going to be crying by the end of this episode arent i
>>291697049If they have any ferrous material AT ALL, she can manipulate them. I will admit its been over a decade since I watched because it was terrible, but unless they have zero metal parts, there is literally no reason she couldnt fuck with them. Even assuming that she somehow got turbo nerfed on her control, she could still literally cook it with brute force electricity.Its fucking nonsense. Whats ironic is that it would make sense if you say that the loli is magic and not esper related, but that would upet the railgun anime only purists I guess (even though magic has appeared in series and they didnt even know it)
>>291697062>last timeMedsI just don't value the opinion of savages.
>>291697160More like you cant refute anything and are running away again.>its not meYou are the only one outside of MP that has ever defended Silent Party in any capacity in recent years. Even when it aired, the only people trying to defend it were a few railgun anime-only that were desperate to hate on anything index related with a passion. And they could only say "shut up it was f-fun" even then. NOBODY likes Silent Party.
>>291696889You forgot that the evil group name is STUDY and that they were talking about the "deep darkness" or some such shit which is hilarious when just last arc was the fucking Sister's arc of all things
>>291697199A retarded savage and a schizo too, what a combo.
>>291697049>Janie's ability is called Diffusion Ghost, an ability that is said by Shinobu, uses Janie's hair as a transmitter, and materializes an AIM diffusion field as a virtual object which fills its containing space and controls it, though presumably this only applies to electronics. Janie can give orders to the AIM fields before materializing it, allowing her to control from something as a few security robots to 20,000 plus Powered Suits.Its a bunch of mechs using metal shit, how can Mikoto not absolutely no-diff them all? Make it make sense.
>>291697302She's a little girl.
>>291697160>>291697293It's kinda funny because I'm the anon he is talking about and I called Poltergeist good(it is) and Silent Party mediocre with a few good moments. He keeps acting like I think Silent Party is hot shit lol.
>>291697293Uh huh. So Anon, I have a few questions. Why does Kuroko's ability suddenly changes for the filler, which breaks pre-established power mechanics? Why can't Mikoto manipulate mechs that are made out of metal when she has shown far more capability before and since then? Can you answer these questions for me? I made sure to not have "bad grammar" so that you didn't have any excuse to run away from the argument.
>>291697404You sound like a fucking nerd who can't appreciate the cute girls.
>>291697385Its not mediocre, its hot garbage and its been outlines as such. The fact that you cant defend it, had to resort to an appeal of popularity, then ran when you got proven wrong even on this speaks volumes.>I called Poltergeist good(it is) Uiharu's character got completely assassinated. Mikoto vs Hag Kihara made no sense since it was two railguns colliding, which somehow turned into a beam struggle even though thats not how a railgun works both in real life and in-universe. Its alright, but "good"? Please.
>>291697404>changes>didn't Sorry to say this bro, but you didn't actually fix anything.
>>291697448>This is good>no it isnt, here is why it is fundamentally bad at a mechanical and narrative level, also the new loli character was boring>Sh-Shut up, the girls are cute!YOU should be mad because we could have gotten Railgun SS animated instead which doesnt break the series lore, features a bunch of fanservice of Railgun girls and some new tiddies monsters, features Mikoto being cool and showing off new powers, etc. Instead they gave you a retarded plot with retarded characters and no fanservice to speak of.
Future science children city might have a 40% disappearance rate but my kid could also get cool xmen powers so that's a risk im willing to take
>>291697538>changesOops, added an 's'. Im sure you can use your brain to figure out what I meant.>didn'tOff topic, but for some reason my phone keeps doing that. Autocorrecting "don't" to "didnt". Its fucking bizarre.
>actual discussion of Railgun S and Nagaispace>accusing each other of being a certain poster>arguing what's possible and what's not about Mikoto's powersetkek it's like I slipped back in time. All we're missing is avatarspamming and Stiyl screaming for help
>>291697302>Its a bunch of mechs using metal shit, how can Mikoto not absolutely no-diff them all? Make it make sense.Anon, she blew up like 50 of them in 5 seconds with a variety of powers, the bad guys panicked and send in Meltdowner mechs. They take one shot, it gets harmlessly deflected and she mocks them for it. Then before she can do anything, Meltdowner herself shows up and blows the 3 big mechs apart and takes over the fight.>Why can't Mikoto manipulate mechs that are made out of metal when she has shown far more capability before and since then?She did. Did you watch the fight, it is like 12 seconds of her effortlessly winning with electricity and magnetism then leaving because she has to get medicine to a child.
>>291697633It will be Moogs screaming for help later in the season this time. Probably.
>>291697561Cool story nerd.And being too lazy to double check your posts speaks to your integrity as a man.
>>291697633I hope the spammer is happy that Stiyl got gud in the LNs
>>291697651Yes, so then you must ask why on early STUDY, a team of scientists, who had detailed records on what Mikoto was capable of, thought it would be an awesome idea to try to use these mechs against her. Do you understand? At onset, the entire plotline is nonsense and revolves around the villains being too stupid to fucking breath and only got away with it up to that point due to a hostage situation... which Mikoto could have resolved in seconds had she not drank the retard juice. The narrative REQUIRES plot retardation to even loosely function.>hurr yea we'll take on this known entity that cant control a gorillian metal things at once by attack her with metal :DDD>oh no wtf who could have seen this not working?!Great storytelling.
what is the point of the anime? we know meltdown is a mid villain of railgun s2
AAAAAAAA HAMAZURA HELP ME
>>291697735>No, I want to eat inferior slop to own Anon! I wont admit that they could have just easily animated a canon arc that had everything I am trying to praise Silent Party for, except objectively better. My fragile ego would break if I admitted that, so Ill double down and harp about mild spelling mistakes and semantics. I cant win the argument in any capacity otherwise.We're done here.
>>291697488>ikoto vs Hag Kihara made no sense since it was two railguns colliding, which somehow turned into a beam struggle even though thats not how a railgun works both in real life and in-universe.Anon, Mikoto's Railgun was always an energy beam of sorts. The stats they give you for it (coin 3x the speed of sound) coincide with a common rifle bullet. In the show it was always a great beam of energy that acted more like cannon. As for how the beams met, the rails those "railguns" put out are not physical like a real railgun, they are being projected out from Mikoto / the Lance so it is basically a contest between the strange electromagnetic force with their projectiles stuck in the middle. It's Esper nonsense vs Super Science that mimics it.
>smartest people in the world>we categorized powers by levels so that means jrpg mechanics are real and you can grind low level mobs to level upThere's a point where you realize scientists arent actually smart and are just focused on coming up with elaborate ways to torture children

>>291697797>Yes, so then you must ask why on early STUDY, a team of scientists, who had detailed records on what Mikoto was capable of, thought it would be an awesome idea to try to use these mechs against her.The Meltdowner Mechs powered by diffusion were the hard counter but I doubt there were any detailed records about her being able to deflect Meltdowner. That aside, the mechs are not the primary boss of the arc, it's the missile.
>>291697895>Anon, Mikoto's Railgun was always an energy beam of sorts. The stats they give you for it (coin 3x the speed of sound) coincide with a common rifle bullet. In the show it was always a great beam of energy that acted more like cannon.The anime making it look like a ki blast doesnt suddenly change the fact that it is always presented as a fucking railgun.>As for how the beams met, the rails those "railguns" put out are not physical like a real railgun, they are being projected out from Mikoto / the Lance so it is basically a contest between the strange electromagnetic force with their projectiles stuck in the middle.Which isnt how a railgun would work. Launching two projectiles at each other, even by "encasing them in electricity" or whatever dumb bullshit you are trying to push here, would not result in a fucking beam struggle. It would be an explosive sort of deflection. Said interaction has never happened outside of this moment.Stop trying to justify it. They made filler and are apparently too dumb to know how basic physics work. Thats it. Its not that Mikoto secretly has electric railgun ki blasts that never operate on that logic ever again. Its that its stupid ass filler where they changed the fucking power mechanics. You know, like what they did literally the season after with Kuroko.
>>291698051This universe isn't compatible with basic physics.
Where were you when Mugino saved the Toaru franchise?
>>291697895>, Mikoto's Railgun was always an energy beam of sortsNo it's not.
>>291695472Would have been nice to see Frenda's last moments. You don't immidietly die if you're bisected.
>>291698034Which still makes no fucking sense as they are still metal. And they should know that fucking electricity can manipulate Moog's shit since its vaguely similar principles. They have all the fucking data right there. They should know that electromagnetism is fucking horse shit when taken to a logical conclusion, even if she doesnt have full scope. Theyre fucking scientists. My dumb ass could look at this and be like "hm, lets not fucking do this guys, its a bad idea". You expect me to believe a group of PHDs couldnt? The fuck outta here.
>>291698126Very nice.
>>291697868It's refreshing to watch other bad guys getting killed instead of getting knocked out or whatever
>>291698095Or maybe you are trying to justify a bullshit moment because you cant admit when youre wrong.
>>291698152I'm never wrong, and you really don't understand how anon posting works.
>saves your franchise by the second episode
>>291698232I want to have sex with Umidori
>>291697404>>291696889It happened alright. In one of the countless worlds Othinus made Touma go through, that is.
>>291698126>Frenda in LN>described as all bloody and gnarly and shit>randoms in the anime>instantly cauterized/vaporized and no bloodMaybe Frenda tried to run and it only got her halfway and Moogz pulled her apart completely with her hands. She was in Hulk mode
>>291698051>The anime making it look like a ki blast doesnt suddenly change the fact that it is always presented as a fucking railgun.No, it had the energy around it in the novel / manga and did way more damage than an object that size, moving that speed can do. Esper powers do not use normal physics and are borderline magic.>Which isnt how a railgun would work.Good, otherwise her coins would be no more powerful than .30-06 from an M1 Garand and slower to fire.>Launching two projectiles at each other, even by "encasing them in electricity" or whatever dumb bullshit you are trying to push here, would not result in a fucking beam struggle. It would be an explosive sort of deflectionI said electromagnetic fields, the coin, bullet, hitting each other are still in the field, they can't go back, up, down, left or right, only forward so they are forced to stay together in the center as each side pumps more power in. As for the beam part around that, that is the Esper power part we do not understand, we have never been told why her Railgun does that in any media but it does.
>>291698232Now take the Frenda bonus and halve it
>>291698189>Im never wrong as long as I run from the argument and make endless excuses on why its ok that this power interaction that breaks preestablished canon is actually ok even though it never happens again outside of filler bullshit
Can we discuss about something else? Silent Party should just be forgotten.
>>291698266Nips being bad at gun math isnt a fucking excuse, it was always shown as a fucking railgun and not a magic electric ki blast.>I said electromagnetic fields, the coin, bullet, hitting each other are still in the field, they can't go back, up, down, left or right, only forward so they are forced to stay together in the center as each side pumps more power in.Which isnt how it would happen and has never happened since. Even assuming your stupid idea happened, it wouldnt have made a fucking beam struggle., They would have deflected or melded together.
>>291698272Like you said, you are a dumb ass.
>ITEM>2 actually useful members and 3 hanger-onsliterally how did this became popular??
>>291698266>we have never been told why her Railgun does that in any media but it does.Because they wanted something flashy for visual storytelling
>>291698361>ur dumbAbout what I expected from someone who unironically defends railgun kamehameha waves
The science really matters in a story where science is literally just magic and magic is also magic and hell exists
>>291698443U is do
Nagaispacestards still exist? Your entire filler arc got memoryholed by even its own director for a reason.
>>291698263A fate worse than death. Other than the Omega world, that was the closest Touma got to killing himself.
>>291698358>Which isnt how it would happen and has never happened since.It happened in First Year arc vs Sha's railgun copy.>it wouldnt have made a fucking beam struggle., They would have deflected or melded together.Can't deflect if they are held in place by magnetic rails on all sides and melding wouldn't change the outcome since they are fighting over the coin/shot in the middle, whether it is one or two objects does not matter, Mikoto overpowered he and sent it all flying at her.
>>291698506Railgun anime-only are the worst part of the fandom
>>291698487>entire premise is that esper powers use scientific principles and rationale for said powers>filler arcs contradict pre-established canon and defy the physics they are supposed to be built upon>UM ACTUALLY ITS OK BECAUSE ITS ALL MAGICIn-universe consistency is a thing. If it wasnt, why even distinguish the two and just say anyone can do anything because I say so
if you clone enough lolis you'll eventually get to level 6science biatch
>>291698593Because it's cool.
>>291698554>It happened in First Year arc vs Sha's railgun copy.It literally didnt, look at it. It impacted and slammed right through. There was no "beam struggle". The superior force punched through the inferior force, deflecting the inferior force in multiple directions. Are you mistaking the shockwave as a beam struggle?>Can't deflect if they are held in place by magnetic rails on all sides This would assume absolute perfect control of all electromagnetic forces exerted on both sides, which Mikoto absolutely can not do and the Kihara certainly couldnt do either. That would take control on such a level that Mikoto would nearly level 6 in power.
>>291698677And breaking the logic isnt cool. Its dumb and gets rid of narrative stakes.
>>291698814Very cool.
>>291698358>it was always shown as a fucking railgun and not a magic electric ki blast.First Railgun.>The girl flicked the coin up into the air with her thumb. The coin rotated a few times before landing back onto her thumb.>"It's apparently something like this.">Just as she spoke, an orange spear of light suddenly and silently shot past Kamijou's head. It was more like a laser than a spear. He could only tell it had originated from the girl's thumb because the afterimage of light stretched back to it.>Almost like thunder, the noise rumbled in with a slight delay. As a shockwave tore through the air around his ears, Kamijou's sense of balance was thrown off. He staggered and glanced over his shoulder.>The instant the orange light struck the road surface on the bridge, the asphalt was blown away like an airplane making an emergency landing on the ocean. Even after traveling a thirty-meter path of utter destruction and stopping, the orange afterglow was still burning the air like an afterimage.The weird energy component was always there, the only difference is that with the projectiles stuck together in their overlapping rails, they had to keep pouring in the energy.>>291698764>It literally didnt, look at it. It impacted and slammed right through. There was no "beam struggle". You can see the same effect happen in picrel, it shows shots of their heads watching, there is definitely a struggle. Also it is not a bean struggle, it is objects locked in the center and the light is them pouring in power.>This would assume absolute perfect control of all electromagnetic forces exerted on both sides, which Mikoto absolutely can not do and the Kihara certainly couldnt do either. That would take control on such a level that Mikoto would nearly level 6 in power.I don't see where you get this idea. Instead of a metal railgun accelerating the coins there is magnetic fields extending outward from both parties. Basically the coins are still in the cannon so to speak.
If railgun worked the way that the science is supposed to work wouldnt Touma have been vaporized by the coin when he tried to stop it?
>>291699199The list of science that contradicts real science could go on forever.
>>291699199The Railgun is propelled by Misaka’s supernatural lightning during the entire time until it gets burnt out. Touma just blocks it to negate all the speed the lightning does on the coin.
>>291693716>These dark side girls today, they want to be buried in their jogging outfit
>>291695322Because she's a tard. I bet Misaki or Mikoto wouldn't need the pictures because they could organize all this info inside their heads. Serves this gorilla right for not attending school.
>>291695815Misaki.
>>291699722Who?
>>291699199If she's still influencing the railgun he stops it. It should be hot as hell though. If she lets go of it, it should blow his hand off and now she's probably dead.
>>291697870>Not Coronzon? Not my problem
>>291699764Touma's wife.
>>291698373Ok, I'm taking the bait. Did you watch the episode this week? They have a team. Mugino is the cannon, Takitsubo is her spotter, Kinuhata is the tank and Frenda is the magician. Mugino jobs to a level 0 without her team.
>>291699452How does that eliminate the momentum of the coin itself?
>>291700805As seen in OT6, if a supernatural force is moving ordinary objects, IB negates the momentum the supernatural force is doing on said object. If Touma blocks using IB, his is not moving and momentum of the object stops. In OT6, he ran up to punch the supernatural golem, negating the supernatural force, but he still got injured as he ran fast and punched regular rock at full force.
>>291700805You're expecting too much out of the guy who wrote the Kihara punches thing, Kamachi just doesn't understand basic mechanics.
>>291701207>basic mechanicsIt's a supernatural off button.
what sports hoodie even cost 6000 dollars
>>291701207Anyone know if occult knowledge is better? The entire magic system is based on Thelema isn't it?
>>291701349Something like this I guess.https://shop.brunellocucinelli.com/en-us/men/ready-to-wear/travelwear/french-terry-sweatshirt-262MM8359069GC829902.htmlI am sure there are plenty of even more expensive hoodies in high end shops that don't sell or advertise online. At a certain point it is no longer just about the quality, it is about the brand. ITEM's like this are for people who don't think of $6,000 as money, in fact they may not bother to even learn the cost.
>>291701582Espers are a modified version of Thelema. The rest of magic have more than that with multiple other myths by using Idol theory, including the original Thelema (with the transcendents).
>>291701806i can see it for 1k but 5k is insane
>>291699452If Touma blocks meltdowner, does he die from the bremmstrahlung x-rays when the electrons are instantly decelerated?
>>291702364>i can see it for 1k but 5k is insaneWhat is insane is having enough money that the decision to buy it or not does not imapct your financial situation. You are not supposed to buy it, not even save up and buy it, it isn't for normal people. Unless you are trying to infiltrate a rich person space, you have no use for such a thing. BTW, Railgun is that kind of rich, from an in-character magazine interview.>Q: How much is your monthly allowance? >A: It isn't really an allowance, but I get paid for helping with research. I don't know the exact amount though.>Q: How much do you have saved up? >A: I've never really paid attention. I just take out as much as I need to use.And another page showed off the price of everything she carries. Her lib balm is about $200, her hairclip costs the same, her hairbrush is $255, her handkerchief is $350, her compact mirror is $500 and her coin purse is $700.She is that kind of loaded.
>>291702613He shouldn’t due to him negating meltdowner in general. Even if you say it was a passive effect, Stiyl’s magic produces heat yet Touma is unaffected. Around real fire, he does feel the heat. It seems that if the surrounding effect is caused by supernatural forces, it gets passively negated until the force causing the affect touches Touma, not including IB of course.
If I already watched the railgun anime and want to read the manga, should I start from the beginning or can I pick up the manga from where the left ?
>>291703307You can pick it up. Though you might as well wait for the last Railgun anime at this point.
>>291703433>Though you might as well wait for the last Railgun anime at this pointWhy? How many chs did the anime adapt?
>>291703307Read from the beginning, season 1 butchered the level upper arc into being unrecognizable.
>>291703147>Almost 2k for this BS.Pre memory loss Touma was right. Right about what? About everything regarding rich girls.
>>291703823Theres only 2 arcs left for Railgun to cover and there is a non-zero chance they just do what the 3rd season did and adapt them both
>>291705339God I hope Kamachi explain what happened with Awakened Uiharu
I just woke up from a dream where I had to go do a lasik eye surgery consultation. I was chilling in a room and Mugino walks in. And she insisted we had to do a procedure right now or I would suffer from "cornea cryptosis". She wouldnt explain what that even was when I asked. She just bustled me along. I remember being surprised at how small she was, I thought she would be taller. Next thing I know Im strapped down into a medical chair. Im trying to move but Im tied down really good. Takitsubo shows up but she just kinda stands around in a dress and says shes here for moral support. Saiai is holding a camera and says she wants to make her own B-movies because the current ones have sucked lately. At this point Im freaking out and demanding to see Mugino's credentials.She handed me a banana peel and told me to hold still as green light winked around her.I woke up to a burning smell and flipped the fuck out until I realized it was just one of my neighbors burning some shit in their bbq pit.
>>291699722Based.
>>291706089>She handed me a banana peel Audible kek
>>291703147Holy shit. For this robbery, I'd expect Misaki and Uiharu's used panties.
>>29170583190 percent sure that some random magazine is going to explain that shit, like how it revealed the scavenger leader’s name.
To the anon who just read Mental Out, what did you think? Did you enjoy the extra chapters?
>>291707125Mainly I just kept thinking that she is a shit.
>>291706089>I thought she would be tallerOn that note, this shot seems to confirm the wiki guesstimate if you account for the shoes (which we can tell add 5cm because Railgun explicitly puts Frenda at 150). Also Choubi is embarrassingly small.
>>291706089>Saiai is holding a camera and says she wants to make her own B-movies because the current ones have sucked latelyThat has some implications
>>291707223*beeps*Mostly, I kept thinking that she is a BEST.
>>291707125I liked it, thats why I ended up reading the railgun manga right afterwards> Did you enjoy the extra chapters?not the touma one, thats for sure
>>291708496>not the touma one, thats for sureWhy not? Do you dislike Touma?
nt anime when
>>291708567>Do you dislike Touma?yes, dislike not hate, ok?
>>291708629No that's not okay.
I could overpower Misaki and fuck her easily
>>291707490>just shy off 170cm so between 167 and 169 cms>minus 3 to 5 cms from those shoe solesSo she's somewhere between 162 to 166 cms and if you average the difference, that's 164 cms which is close to what the wiki says. Mystery solved, I guess.
>>291708629Touma is great though. I'll tell you what, since you'll be through with Railgun and AB relatively quickly, you should read at least the first few LNs right after, and maybe you'll realize why he's /our/ guy. >>291708759You'd be writhing in the floor with a seizure well before you lay a finger on her.
