Railgun II is gonna fix that because it's focusing on the sister arc which means Accelerator and Touma.

Uh... you know when you say "sister"... I hope you don't mean church shit.

Not nearly wide enough.

He's probably referring to the Misaka sisters.

Thank fuck for that!

As you can see I hate the church parts of Index with a passion.

Thread isn't really at full power without Uchip and Jexhius posting much rece-

Oh snap!!

I don't think he's breaking any rules. This is what happens when you don't establish the perimeters of discussion in the OP for a show based on existing material!

Everyone knows that you should include a statement that forbids posting spoilers from the original material

Stop hating on Soejima!

You can direct it towards the P4 anime, though.

I did enjoy it quite a bit, but it doesn't excuse the fact that it will forever look like garbage.

Magi 8

Six months had passed? I had zero sense of that at all. Also what the hell at that infodump? That killed any momentum built up by the previous ep.

If you're watching Magi you brought this upon yourself.

Damn... Sayaka's body...!

You should probably say "Sayaka's figure". Just saying.

Mouryou no Hako 2
[...]As for some of the chronology, I'm going to throw out what I think is going on so far. Tell me if you think this checks out.

Spoiler

The train accident happens on August 15th. Sometime between the 15th and the 29th, Toriguchi goes on the train for his grandmother's funeral, and sees the box. On the 29th and 30th, the body parts are discovered, and the second half of the episode happens.

I expect to get teased for a long time, but they're doing a good job so far.

You're certainly on the right track but, as you've mentioned above, like all mystery stories there's plenty of twists and turns along the way. Which is what one would hope for anyway.

 

[Westlo]

Damn it, I thought they had some issues sorted out after 5-7.

That's what we all thought... but dat Yoshino.

[Jex]

Birdy uh... 6 - 11?

This show is the biggest bait and switch ever. The first three episodes were fantastic, and there was some established plot happening and a ton of action and tension! I was so ready. THEN, everything went 180. After this the main character is now some high school boy who is whiny and apprehensive about everything - the show follows him and his high school friends as they eat lunch together, go on vacations, ride the train, play in the pool, look for ghosts, and try to have romance. Then you hardly see Birdy at all. WTF IS THIS?!?

And now the entire plot is revolving around the fact that shitty MC is willing to put the entire EARTH (along with some 8 billion occupants and countless species) at risk because he is unwilling to accept the fact that his girlfriend is a bomb and that M. Night Shyamalan is a hustler.

I have two episodes to go and I barely have the morale left to do it D:

Fuck. This.

Well, as others have said, if Birdy is who you're looking two then season two is really for you. It shifts the focus back onto her which, in my opinion at least, is where it should have been all along.

 

[Westlo]

Anohana's V1 sold for ￥4,200 while its other volumes sold for ￥7,350 (I think Amazon JP immediately discounts though so they probably sold for less). Let's do basic math on volumes one and two:

Wasn't that because Anohana V1 only had 1 episode on the disc whereas the rest of the releases had 2 episodes?

I was behind Jexhius just last week. Where the fuck is he anyway?

Also come on, I try to keep my posts meaty.

And so things are finally moving, shame that

Spoiler

they introduce an actually decent mascot character only to have him leave at the end of the episode. Toei giveth Toei taketh away I guess.

comedy elements seem to start to get together now which is good. We also get what for now I'd like to consider best villain in the series, I like his voice especially. Also this was horrifying.

Personally I think Railgun is much much better than Index by virtue on focusing solely on the science side of things (a.k.a Touma and Accelerator like powers) with there being absolutely none of that awful church stuff that dragged To aru no Index down, and no Index either which is an automatic godsend (lol pun).

Of course it more or less only features girls so...

Her role seems to go down by the volume as it is, it's a wonder when the writer reset the numbering of the novels he didn't just take the Index bit out of the title to be honest. I think there were a few where she's literally just there at the start to go I WANT FOOD and then that's her out. I feel sorry for her fans if they're out there somewhere, because she's almost a joke character at this point.

Much prefer the science-based stuff too though, the church arcs on the whole can be a bit boring. Only exception is the big one that starts at the end of the second series, which is actually pretty awesome. I like Index more at its highest but Railgun has less weaker material, I guess.

Really? Hope there were some good extras with that release.

 

[OceanBlue]

I didn't realize that. I think you're right. That probably would mean less sales on volume one, wouldn't it...

Well, I still stick by my point for the most part, lol. I think the first volume of Tiger and Bunny was also cheaper than the other volumes, so I should look at that too when I get home.

The new Tamako Market should be finished by now. So excited!

Index fans don't exist. For me the main character always has and will always be "Touma"

I agree that Index's high points are better than Railgun's, but you have to wade through a lot of gunk (literally half of the show) to get to it, season 2 only had about 30% science in it (oh lord I remember counting the episodes T_T).

Touma Touma Touma Touma Touma. GET OUTTA MY HEAD!!

The reason it's called A certain magical index is because it was supposed to be a one shot volume IIRC.

Berserk - Golden Age Chapter II: The Capture of Doldrey

I was honestly going to say that this looked better than the first film for the most part and that while the CG still sticks out, they've done a much better job with it than the first film. That was until the ballroom dance with the nobility which was without a doubt one of the most jarring mixes of traditional and CG animation I've ever seen. It was so bad it made me almost overlook the fact that they

Railgun is SO much better than Index.

Mainly because theres basically no Index.

Well that solves one of the faults of the first series, the worst character getting less screentime is a wise move.

You can see the rotoscoping technique being used in the Introduction section, like I mentioned before. I guess this is what happens when you want realistic character motion and you don't have money for motion capture CG or good character animators?!?!?!?!????? Lol??????
