Enough about me.

Touma Kamijou is the most badass character you'll ever find, end of story.

If you doubt me, read To aru Majutsu no Index New Testament Volume 9, and you'll agree. (Well you should read the other books in the series first though.)

But yeah, he's my favorite fictional character, up there with Bartimaeus from the Bartimaeus Trilogy.

To aru Majutsu no Index is by the best light novel series in existence (it is really called a certain series though "to aru series", and it makes everything else look bad--at least to me. So you should definitely try it. The anime is pretty good: A certain magical Index, and a Certain Scientific Railgun. The novels are way better than the anime though.

Also try the Index manga, the Railgun manga, the Accelerator manga, and ... As you can see the series writer Kazuma Kamachi is prolific since he writes the plot for everything related to the series himself. There are a few non-canon parody stories though that other authors write, that you can check out. Baka Tsuki has all of the light novels translated in different languages, including English, so you should really check it out after you try the anime.

Railgun S is probably the third best anime adaptation I've seen.

Since the light novels completely skew my judgement for how I rate anime, I don't count Index in my top list of anime, i.e. it's #0. Anyway, Kill la Kill is my #1, Kuroko's Basketball is my #2, Fairy Tail is my #3, Full Metal Panic is my #4, Hayate the Combat Butler which is hilarious is my #5, Bakuman is #6, Clannad AS is #7, GTO is #8, Detective Conan is #9, Boys Over Flowers/Zero no Tsukaima/ Toradora/ SAO/... are #10.

I would like to point out though on an honest anime grading scale it would be more like this in terms of ratings:
(Take into account that this is an exponential scale. I.e. if the score is x/100, as x gets bigger, the difference in how good the show is changes a lot. 10/100 still means I really love the show.)
To aru Series=100/100 (perfect in other words)
Kill la Kill= 20/100 (Amazing)
Kuroko no Basket=19.9/100 (Almost as amazing)
Fairy Tail= 19/100 (Still Amazing)
Full Metal Panic=18.9/100 (It's amazing)
Hayate The Combat Butler=18.8/100 (though the manga is like 50/100 it's amazing).
Bakuman=17/100 It is an amazing series.
Clannad AS=16/100 it's one of the best things I have ever seen.
GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka)=15/100 it's one of my favorite manga series ever.
Detective Conan=14.5/100 (What can I say, it's Detective Conan. If there were no filler, this would probably be rated much higher on the exponential scale)
My #10's are around 10/100 because they are still amazing.
I have some other good series I enjoy.
Normal anime on this scale are around 1/100.
Bad ones are around .1/100.

Ahh, I forgot. Madoka would be above Clannad AS on this list, but below Bakuman. Evangelion would be above Kill la Kill, but far far below Index which I believe is better than it in almost every way read Index New Testament 9 to understand why. Evangelion is a 75/100. (but this is still an exponential scale... so that's still nowhere close to Index).

your sao review made me laugh so hard xD

gbperez81 Sep 29, 2013 7:21 PM

Just read your SAO review and I thought it was spot on. SAO made my top list and I even started to read the light novels (he goes into two other games apparently but I haven't got that far) but none of my friends thought it was that good. They especially didn't like the second arc. Of course I was kinda wary when I heard this but I loved every minute of it. Though I didn't think that deeply into it like you did but I understand the first arc is dark, a fight for survival. The second arc being one of Kirito fighting for Asuna, more romantic in my opinion. A drastic change in setting that most people didn't like but I understood the change well and loved it. I could go on but I don't want to bore you. Just want to say I totally agree with what you think about SAO and hope that review helps to have people view this beautiful anime.

Nice SAO review.

Stark700 Jul 26, 2013 10:11 AM

Do you by any chance know when chapter 61 of Railgun will come out?

ssjokg Jul 26, 2013 9:16 AM

nah..I will read 61 first then join in.

Aversa Jul 7, 2013 2:51 PM

I used to write a lot in the Index forums but didn't comment much in the Railgun forums, apart from my bullet and gun explanation in this topic.
But that didn't have much to do with the episode itself.
I usually pause my screen a lot and even let some scenes replay, i really like details so i prefer to have a good look at them.
From there on i usually base my posts.

Aversa Jul 7, 2013 8:05 AM

Impressive wall of text you put on the railgun forums, it's probably one of the biggest i have seen.

ssjokg Jul 2, 2013 11:04 AM

Well obviously more (from the survivors and not the 3rd production plan I assume you mean)will appear.They are good comic relief and can support the mains.

I just think that we will get more story on the Sisters that are in Ac than on the ones in the rest of the world. Unless if the story moves outside AC again.

Stark700 Jul 2, 2013 10:57 AM

I'm not sure what exactly happened since I didn't check Railgun forums in the past few days. Well if there's anything else, I'm looking forward to see how this arc will go down.

ssjokg Jul 2, 2013 10:55 AM

I doubt that the mods acted without a report.Relax.

ssjokg Jul 2, 2013 10:11 AM

Really that fucker knows how to mess with people that are having fun.It's his first post in an ep discussion since ep 3 or 4 and he bombarded the mods with reports for spoilers for a series that aired 6 years ago....No to mention that his post reeks of Misaka fanboyism.
Even my opinion on the preview that was in a spoiler was deleted.

Zefyris Jul 2, 2013 12:41 AM

I finished NT7.
I liked the NT6 more than the 7 though. So much awesomeness in the 6th book. ;]
I didn't watch railgun S as I seldom watch anime show which have yet to finish airing :3.

Zefyris Jun 30, 2013 10:57 PM

So I thought I'd be finished with NT7 around the 1st of August since I had a lot of other LN volumes to read before it, but in the end, it turns out that I'm one month ahead of my initial schedule lol. Currently around the middle of the NT7, I'll finish it tomorrow (probably).
At long last, I'll be able -for a while- to read things about the raildex without having to avoid spoilers x].

Stark700 Jun 2, 2013 12:17 AM

Ya....I don't remember Hamazura at all from the Railgun manga. He didn't even make a single appearance. I was reading Index LN volume 15 earlier today and his brief conversation with ITEM at the restaurant. IT was a pretty funny read so I wanted to see that in the anime although it's doubtful.

My favorite episode of the season would definitely be episode 5 so far although it may be outmatched by episode 10. I am very confident that JC would jinx the art and make Touma or Kuroko appear in this. (OP song is misleading)

I hope they extend Rikou's scenes as well in the anime as I'm not too familiar with her. I like her character design though!

Stark700 Jun 1, 2013 11:09 PM

Ah yes, I definitely sensed some sort of connection between Sisters Network and Exterior but that's an interesting interpretation of Misaki and Dolly. What did you think of the latest Railgun S episode btw?

I thought it was pretty well done and I loved the way Fre nda's VA is portrayed in the series. "Tehehe". I also like how JC is adapting the manga faithfully right now and we're in a main core of the Sisters' Arc. Next week should be good with Mugino against Misaka although more people are looking forward to episode 10. I also read of the Index novels earlier today and wondering if Hamazura will make a cameo in this series.
