To Aru Majutsu no Index Second Season - General Discussion [NO SPOILERS]

[Wilfriback]

There are some moonrunes I can't understand...

So, are what are they trying to do? Nishikiori?

Which is the most important thing in making the script?
I think it's the work before making the script itself. Supervisor Nishikiori has been telling us a certain quote: "There may be things that even we don't know."

Kuroko and Last Order were added to the PSP characters.... poor Last Order I hope she is just a support character.... if she gests pwned Acceleraor will start a slaughter.

[SuzushinaYuriko]

...Last Order? As a playable character in a fighting game?! How is she supposed to win? Unless she has the ability to summon the SISTERs to be meat shields and Accelerator for OHKO, in which case she would pretty much be unbeatable... :heh:

Aside from that, it's the first time I've seen anime Last Order in that dress (besides the masterpiece opening). She looks really cute.

Another collab CM. Kyousuke this time.

[index87]

does anyone know of sub groups who are gonna work on index 2 ---- i just found out eclipse has stopped subbing

[Suzuku]

UTW & gg are doing a joint release. Other than that, Funimation will also be simulcasting (of course their quality will suck though).

I might be wrong, but did he just asked Kamijo-san to destroy his sister's delusion :heh:?

Funimation is simulcasting the second season? I thought they only had the license for the first season of Index and Railgun. If they really do have it though, that's great news.

Nevermind, it looks like Touma would be fighting him... I don't recall that happening in the manga :heh:

"Fine, if you think you can just do whatever you like! First I shall shatter that illusion of yours!" then kyousuke did ask touma to straighten her imouto :heh:

I would just watch it from my computer and save myself some time, since I use a family connection, it would bother the other people around my house if I downloaded it.

[index87]

1st episode is looking good but its nothing compared to the epicness im expecting in the later arcs

MKV all the way :D There's no turning back for me now.

I've never thought about watching it on my PS3, does it really make much of a difference? Or is it a matter of your TV/Com screen?

HorribleSubs is reporting from their inside guy that Funi is simulcasting Index II. All the sub groups are aware of this as well. And nice images, looks like it'll be a great start to the season.

I download the files and play them with Media Player Classic Home Cinema. I also connect my laptop to my TV through HDMI to get the full experience. The codec pack I use is CCCP btw.

It's a long shot, but I hope they added some original scenes or even some from vol7 introduction, anything to make better use of the episode and screetime rather than to just drag out the mini-arc.

That's a whole lot of text going across the screen in that clip. Can a person fluent in reading japanese realy read all of that at once?

Those are comments by viewers.....

[index87]

MKV all the way :D There's no turning back for me now.

I've never thought about watching it on my PS3, does it really make much of a difference? Or is it a matter of your TV/Com screen?



not really i have a decent sized plasma, its just really convenient for me--- i use a program called mkv2vob that demuxes mkv files and turns them into a playable format for the ps3 without losing quality, it also extracts the subtitles at the same time it takes no more tan 15 minutes to download and convert after that i load it on a usb drive and copy it to the ps3-----btw i have a 500gb hard drive on my ps3 so i can store a lot of anime&movies including the complete first seasons of index and railgun:D


wow the previews really do get you excited:p i cant wait to see Seiri definitely my pick from all the girls premiering this season ;)

[tsunade666]

:( no money for ps3.......

well you also need to see the quality of the one you download. No matter how HD the tv and the graphics of the ps3 if your planning to watch a 480p and 720p on it. It doesn't make any difference. get the 1200p something I'm not sure because I don't download it. It's too big. I only get that one when I was watching isekai.

btw in nicovideo. Why was the comment on the screen? It kinda block some view of the one your watching. Or is it natural like that?

[Xenosnake]

If you're going to watch it on your PS3, might as well go for the whole 1080p (though downloading it would take a while, and having a hdtv capable of 1080p otherwise it would be pointless). I usually go 720p for my laptop (since anything higher and the video starts to lag. it's a old laptop) and 1080p for my PS3. Nothing quite like watching some anime and then playing Super Street Fighter IV without having to move my ass.

[Jeffry2009]

BTW, do you guys know that Misaka Misuzu, Misaka's mom is look like a Twin of Kiyama Harumi from Railgun as I checked from preview trailer?

[Xenosnake]

Pass the pipe please.

[index87]

all the to aru episodes Ive downloaded are 1280p(light hd as they call it), it would be pintless to have an hd tv and not watch hd material, though i have tried to look for 1080p versions but non have subtitles added, i have downloaded raw 1080p versions and they look dramatically sharper and cleaner but i just havent gotten around to learning how to add subtitles to such

btw i was re-playin infamous yesterday and cole totally reminded me of biri biri i just wish he knew how to shoot railguns:hyper-^v^:

[Jeffry2009]

Pass the pipe please.

What are you talking about? What is that mean? Guys?

[Chaos2Frozen]

btw i was re-playin infamous yesterday and cole totally reminded me of biri biri i just wish he knew how to shoot railguns:hyper-^v^:

Cross your fingers for Infamous 2.

[Master Assassin]

Uh, as far as "p"s is concerned, you don't use the 1280 in 1280x720 to be the "p".

It's 720p.

BTW, do you guys know that Misaka Misuzu, Misaka's mom is look like a Twin of Kiyama Harumi from Railgun as I checked from preview trailer?


I don't think so...

[Jeffry2009]

So when this S2 will be aired? I can't wait to watch it anyway.

[MrTerrorist]

What are you talking about? What is that mean? Guys?

Come here have a seat. You see, when you get older, you try to do things that are....questionable. A pipe is long hollow tube instrument that you use to smo[censored for your own safety]. And that's what passing the pipe means.

[Teh_Ping]

Basically, it's what Beatrice from Umineko holds most of the time (Especially when she's trolling.)

[spawnofthejudge]

So when this S2 will be aired? I can't wait to watch it anyway.8 Oct 2010 (That is, Friday) at 25:30 (That is, 1:30AM the next day [Saturday] local time).

Is it bad that I've gotten used to that way to mark early morning anime start times?

[relentlessflame]

8 Oct 2010 (That is, Friday) at 25:30 (That is, 1:30AM the next day [Saturday] local time).

Is it bad that I've gotten used to that way to mark early morning anime start times?Assuming you live in Europe or North America (or any of those sorts of timezones), it can actually be useful as way of remembering when it airs in your local time (saves you from having to carry of the 24 hours :p ). I think it's pretty useful nomenclature, even if it's confusing to people at first glance.

Anyway, that aside, I just want to remind people... I know we're in a waiting pattern, but please try to keep the thread on-topic......

[Teh_Ping]

Add a (GMT + 9:00) to it. In London, the time would be 17:30. In New York City, it'll be 12:30.

As for me, it'll be 11:30pm.

[relentlessflame]

Actually, just one correction to that airing time. Apparently it will be airing on AT-X two hours sooner, at 23:30 on Friday. Then it'll air on Tokyo MX two hours later (at the listed time). For some reason the AT-X listing is at the bottom of the list on the official site (http://www.project-index.net/), even though it's first to air (perhaps because it's pay TV or something).

[tsunade666]

I would be coughing blood before friday. I wish I would last with my major plate and final exams this week until the moment of truth .....FRIDAY.

[Suzuku]

Unless you're watching the raw you won't be watching the episode on Friday anyway.

[spawnofthejudge]

Unless you're watching the raw you won't be watching the episode on Friday anyway.Depends on where you are. As the show airs at 10:30 AM Friday local time EST (7:30AM Friday PST!), those in the continental US probably could watch a speed sub that evening.

Sorry about posting the wrong time above. As mystified as relentlessflame about the last one not being in order.

[tsunade666]

Unless you're watching the raw you won't be watching the episode on Friday anyway.

I watched the Raw

I watched the first to be sub

then I download another sub

I continue this process with the subs until I find a good one then settle on that one but still

I will FIRST WATCHED THE RAW!!! OR WHATEVER COMES FIRST TO BE DOWNLOAD!

That's not what I meant. The only notable groups subbing Index II are UTW-gg and Hatsuyuki (if you can call them a notable group). UTW-gg's translator doesn't get home until 4:00pm, and Kusion won't get the file for editing/timing until around 12:00am, which means at the earliest subs will be out Saturday morning with UTW-gg, no matter what zone you're in. Hatsuyuki is an unknown quantity but I don't expect much from them.

Of course, Funimation will be simulcasting after the first couple airings but we all know how awesome their quality is.

Eh? Didn't see that the last time I went onto the website. There were only 6 timings. Seems like it was added just recently or something.

[Master Assassin]

2230hrs (or 0030 hrs if AT-X does not count) for me on a Friday, which is a good excuse for me to stay up overnight somewhere I can call a "bandwidth heaven"... problem is, yeah.

... But there's still the next morning... and you guys to spoil everything over on the "Toaru Majutsu no Index II Episode 1 Discussion" thread. :heh:

...

Today is a Tuesday. GAH! I'm somewhat trying to keep my patience up and keep myself full of pep to embrace the first episode.

By the way, I guess no further announcements or notices/any other tons of information are out telling who's gonna get voiced by who, are there?

[Suzuku]

They've already announced everyone for the first arc.

[stillmissing]

Cast announcement -

Anieze - Kugimiya Rie

Ursula - Endou Aya

Angelene - Kataoka Azusa

Lucia - Ise Mariya

Ouma - Nakata Jouji

Saiji - Toriumi Kousuke

Itsuwa - Kayano Ai

Yeah, it's a little different from before. Also, as I expected, the anime will be adding Itsuwa into vol 7.

[mt.andi]

Itsuwa - Kayano Ai

Who's that?

[Master Assassin]

Apart from Kugyuu and Taxi Driver George Nakata Jouji a lot of new names seem to have been listed...

.... for some of the roles, is that a change compared to the previous lineup we had?

Oh, and Kayano Ai (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=91009) as Itsuwa... hmm.

Most notable role: Sawawa Hiyorimi (http://myanimelist.net/character/7402/Sawawa_Hiyorimi) of the Kaibutsu Oujo OVA (not the TV series, as that role have another VA)?

Hmm.

*goes humming himself the word "hmm" further*

[Chaos2Frozen]

Cast announcement -

Anieze - Kugimiya Rie



HAH!! Called it :D !


But in all Seriousness, what's with the sudden change? I thought Anieze was going to be voice by Aoi YŪKI (Murasaki Kuhōin from Kure-nai)(Noël Kannagi from So-Ra-No-Wo-To )

[Marcus H.]

Maybe it's not finalized.
Anyway, the Toaru Universe has it updated.

[Xenosnake]

Who's that?

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=91009

She's a relatively new seiyuu. She only has three listed roles before this. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt though. JC Staff's pretty good on their voice casting.

[blitz1/2]

Cast announcement -

Anieze - Kugimiya Rie

Ursula - Endou Aya

Angelene - Kataoka Azusa

Wait....
Then this previous one was a fraud?

Ursula-Inoue Kikuko(Belldandy-Ah My goddess)
Anieze- Yuuki Aoi(Mina-Dance in the vampire bund, Korone-Ichiban Ushiro Daimaoh)
Lucia-Sawashiro Miyuki(Shinku-Rozen Maiden)
Angelene-Hirohashi Ryou(Alice-ARIA, Lilly Shiraishi-Ichiban Ushiro Daimaoh)

[faiz blaster]

Wait....
Then this previous one was a fraud?

Seems like it. But then again, I was already expecting something like this. The JC studios don't have the custom of having a voice actor perform multiple roles in the same program, and Inoue Kikuko is already the VA for Touma's mom.

Actually, I am more surprised on how Kugimiya Rie turned out to be Agnese's VA. I kind of got a hunch that she would be involved in this project sooner or later, but Agnese is not the kind of character that she typically does.

[Flere821]

Still... even if it's not 'Tsundere'... how about 'flat-chested' characters? Other roles like Shana, Louise and Taiga aren't exactly 'well-developed' xD

*heads into bomb-shelters to hide from rabid fans*

[Master Assassin]

... I think I can imagine Anieze in Kugyuu's voice just fine.

No problem there.

There are Kugyuu haters as well, but I don't get why there's the hate. Probably caused by too much assumption of pigeonholing VAs to certain roles they don't like.

... But as for the rest... Maybe I should try giving the Kaibutsu Oujo OVA (or maybe the Yumekui Merry ONA, depending on wherever that is and whether I can get to it or not) a shot to get an idea how she sounds like, and try to imagine her in Itsuwa's role?

[Chaos2Frozen]

I would imagine she'll use a mix of her business/professional Shana voice and her... Neena voice >.>

So don't worry, no tsundere voice for her... Unless... :uhoh:

[SuzushinaYuriko]

I don't like KugiRie's high pitched whiny tsundere voice and the characters she voices annoy me (the only ones that didn't were Tacos from Saki and Shannon from Umineko).

I think she'll do a decent job of Anieze, though.

Funny thing is Yumekui Merry isn't out till next year and Princess Resurrection OVA's not out till the end of the year. So earliest you'll hear Kayano Ai's voice is as Itsuwa. (I also checked out the website of the talent agency she belongs to because they sometimes have sample voices, but none. She's an extremely new voice actress)

She doesn't always do a high pitched voice though. Although she might for Agnese I guess.

JC staff is pretty good when it comes to picking out good "new" seiyuu's to voice their show's characters. I believe Accelerators VA was a newb seiyuu as well before he got his role in Index.

[LockeManuel]

Exactly. And after Index he got major roles like Layfon (Chrome Shelled Regios). And now in Bakuman is Eiji and Touma VA is Mashiro XD

Even Abe didn't have many roles before, but Touma brought him luck lol

[Teh_Ping]

J.C. staff has a tendency to choose new or relatively obscure seiyuus that ends up making it big. If there's one thing I'm not worried about, it's that.

And for those who's wondering why Agnese is voiced by KugiRie, well, let's just say that J.C.Staff knows what they're doing with this one.

[Wilfriback]

The scan about the PSP game has make me think, again, that the second season will be more than just 24 episodes >_<.

[Neki Ecko]

The scan about the PSP game has make me think, again, that the second season will be more than just 24 episodes >_<.

Shoot, if they follow the Light Novel, they can make up to atleast 50 - 75 more eps (rough est.) maybe even more and that isnt count the SS and any other projects in the To Aru Universe. I dont remember any series except the Shonen Jump series (like Bleach, Reborn, OP, and Naurto) and other series that pass the magic number of 100 in a long time. Index might pass that number.

[relentlessflame]

Just to be clear, the second season is confirmed for 24 episodes, just like the first season. That doesn't mean there won't be more seasons later.

[Aki-Furaba]

but Touma brought him luck lol

LOL that is quite ironic.

[SuzushinaYuriko]

Even Abe didn't have many roles before, but Touma brought him luck lol

lol at the irony.

I still think Nobuhiko Okamoto should do more roles that require his "cool" voice (Accelerator/Usui) instead of his boring protagonist voice (Layfon, Takumi). One thing I noticed is that he and Atsushi Abe have been cast as rivals again (Usui and Hinata in Maid-sama!, supposedly this Eiji and Mashiro in Bakuman). I wonder if they're doing this on purpose...

[Wilfriback]

Less than 24 for airing the first episode...

Doubt it, but you have to admit that it is a good match up.

On another note, did any of the current fansub groups pronounced themselves regarding taking up this second season?

[pikachuwei]

when is the ep gonna come out T_T

as for subgroups, its alreadybeen mentioned UTW and gg are doing a joint sub

For those who... uh, somehow have access to viewing Japan's AT-X channel, it's going to be 23:30 Japan time.

Translate that to your time. Which is for me, it'll be on 22:30 which is 10:30pm for me.

... As if I can immediately turn that on the TV...

As for me it will start 21.30.
From looking at how fast some japanese had uploaded Yosuga no Sora Ep1 which also start on AT-X at the same time slot. It should not take more than one hour after the episode end, for us to be able to watch it online.

Index OP "No Buts!!!"

Romanji

yube de hajiku koin no mitsumeta
omote nara go ura wa stay
mazu kotae wo kikasete
douka oshiete kuremasenka
tenshi wa misadameru egao no mama
mayou sono te wo hiku mono nado inai
kami ga kudasu sono kotate wa
fukou datta
sou sore koso kami kara no okurimono
norikoetara miete kuru sa
dakara imasugu
No Buts!

English but not my translation I just spotted this when I downloaded the OP.

I looked at the coin I was about to toss
Heads means I should go, and tails means I should stay
First tell me the answer,
I beg you to do so
The Angel, still smiling, judges me with its' eyes
there is no one that would lead those wandering hands
the answer the God gave,
was misfortune
but yes, that exactly was the gift from the god
if you overcome it, you will see
so go on, immediately
NO BUTS!

[ahelo]

i saw the op in youtube before it got deleted 5 minutes ago. Too bad Saten-san isn't in index.

Also it looks like they have change biribiri's look yet again. She's putting off a more cute than cool look now(It was more cool than cute in railgun). Who cares though cus she's both. aND DID I MENTION THAT THE QUALITY OF THE OP IS AWESOME. Now we know where all Bakuman's budget went.

Shit can't wait til subs

I am drooling over more biribiri. An index is fine too i guess :)). Her railgun cameos wer too little.

[spawnofthejudge]

Too bad Saten-san isn't in index.

I'm actually kind of surprised she didn't get a cameo for the third Index OP in a row... maybe that's the price of Uiharu's promotion from cameo in OP to character?

oh lol
they make accelerator look like 1 crazy bastard there >.<

[~Greed~]

oh lol
they make accelerator look like 1 crazy bastard there >.<

He looks like a badass. Those crazy smiles actually fit his character very well.

Tsuchimikado's one scene in the opening made him look epic.

[tsunade666]

Accelerator finally added on the heroes side!

[RPG_Fanatic]

2nd season OP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oazKALTviZ4

Thanks for this. Time to watch the OP over and over while I wait for the subs. :D

[Master Assassin]

Release date of the OP and ED have been announced in their Twitter, go and check the ToaruIndex music thread for info.

[RPG_Fanatic]

The ED is also up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-BQfirVF1U

Once again it appears that Touma's parents don't get to appear in the OP/ED.

[SuzushinaYuriko]

Reposted from the music discussion thread.

...for some reason, I feel disappointed. Accelerator looks less like his former anime counterpart (why is the front of his hair so short and the back of his hair so long?!) who I loved. They reused the PV scenes and I don't like how there's so much focus on Mikoto in the opening when she's only just a side character. The animation looks choppy at times as well.

I wish they'd give Accel a cool part like in masterpiece. ;_; The only good thing about it is that they correctly grouped Accelerator in the opening as a main character, and even then they left him out of the ending.

So yeah, I expected something better than this, especially since I loved the song for the opening. I'm putting all my hopes on the second opening being better.

I'm putting all my hopes on the second opening being better.I'm not sure how Mikoto is "only a side character" when it was clear from the very beginning that she's one of the two main heroines, especially for Touma's affections, and the novels are actually showing this more now. (can't say any more in order to avoid spoilers) It looks to me like JC Staff might be thinking of rectifying Mikoto's lack of plot-coverage in the middle-volume areas by modifying her role in the anime. Which I for one am more than welcome to. :)

Flip the chessboard and ask to yourself about Touma's feeling towards any girl.

Just think this way:

The lacks of roles for Mikoto in Index = Protagonism for Mikoto in Railgun series. <---- Thats why Railgun series exists afterall, to focuse on her.

By adding more roles for her in Index this will mean that many events would need to be changed in order to do so.
What will they do in the magic related arcs? Break the balance between both sides?

[Shinji103]

Flip the chessboard and ask to yourself about Touma's feeling towards any girl.How does that change anything about how Mikoto is one of the top leaders for his affections? Especially considering certain elements/events of the novels. (again, spoilers, so....)

Just think this way:

The lacks of roles for Mikoto in Index = Protagonism for Mikoto in Railgun series. <---- Thats why Railgun series exists afterall, to focuse on her.If you mean Mikoto only has the Railgun series because she doesn't get much role in Index, I'd have to disagree.

By adding more roles for her in Index this will mean that many events would need to be changed in order to do so.
What will they do in the magic related arcs? Break the balance between both sides?I'd have to disagree here too; Mikoto getting involved in more Index events won't break anything.
Of course things will have to be changed from the novels, but JC Staff has proven they don't mind doing that in other series-es, and despite the nay-sayers, I liked ZnT, SnS, and their following seasons with their changes.

That's how Accelerator's design is in the newer novels. His back hair is long while the front is shorter. Most people like the newer look better from what I can tell. Also, it seems like you're just upset that Accel doesn't appear in the OP as much as you'd like. =p

[Suzuku]

^ Spoilers. :/

Also, not entirely true.

[Wilfriback]

One-sided if you ask me.

If you mean Mikoto only has the Railgun series because she doesn't get much role in Index, I'd have to disagree.
Marketing maybe? Railgun serie is directed to a more general public and thus get better sales.

I'd have to disagree here too; Mikoto getting involved in more Index events won't break anything.
Of course things will have to be changed from the novels, but JC Staff has proven they don't mind doing that in other series-es, and despite the nay-sayers, I liked ZnT, SnS, and their following seasons with their changes.
But then the series will be an original material anime rather than "adaptation anime based on light novels".
I remember this from the author afterwords:

[edit: Removed by mod; these could be considered spoilers.]

[Shinji103]

One-sided if you ask me.And that's what I mentioned "certain novel events" for. Because there are events in the novels that indiacte it's not one-sided, but since novel spoilers aren't allowed here I can't just up and state them.

Even if the relationship was truly 100% one-sided, it doesn't change that Mikoto is still the top candidate for Touma's affections next to Index.

But then the series will be an original material anime rather than "adaptation anime based on light novels".
I remember this from the author afterwords:Since when did "adaptation based on"-something mean it had to stay 100% accurate? (Shana, Tsukaima, all sorts of eroge animes)

Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water was "based on Jules Verne's 10,000 Leagues Under the Sea," and they had virtually nothing in common beyond the names Nautilus and Captain Nemo.

[Wilfriback]

Sonce when did "adaptation based on"-something mean it had to stay 100% accurate? *coughShana+Tsukaimacough*
T-T
Yeah Shana novels are quite awesome (even more now they are reaching its climax) but then the first season was more or less aceptable but the second season was to stop watching the anime and just keep going on with the novels....

[Shinji103]

T-T
Yeah Shana novels are quite awesome (even more now they are reaching its climax) but then the first season was more or less aceptable but the second season was to stop watching the anime and just keep going on with the novels....Like I said, I disagree with the nay-sayers on that. :p And if it were as bad as the nay-sayers say, there wouldn't be any more coming.

[Wilfriback]

Rather than complaining, the better is stop it avoiding any angry/nasty stuff, right?
Have you ever saw me in Shana subforum complaining about the anime? No, you didn't. I just keep myself reading the novels and my mind is in peace :p.

Like I said, I disagree with the nay-sayers on that. :p And if it were as bad as the nay-sayers say, there wouldn't be any more coming.
Isn't not necessary to be "bad" as your non-sayers says, it just to be enogh popular to keep going on.
And by adding what the fans wants the series will be more popular even if that means adding original stuff to do so.

Ttw, what that means? More urban terms?

Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water was "based on Jules Verne's 10,000 Leagues Under the Sea," and they had virtually nothing in common beyond the names Nautilus and Captain Nemo.
I have never watched that series, so I have no idea what are you talking about :heh: but Montecristo and Romeo & Juliet can be better examples, right?

[Chaos2Frozen]

Lol my first impression at the end of the OP was that Mikoto was trying hard to get in on the show :heh:

[SuzushinaYuriko]

That's how Accelerator's design is in the newer novels. His back hair is long while the front is shorter. Most people like the newer look better from what I can tell. Also, it seems like you're just upset that Accel doesn't appear in the OP as much as you'd like. =p

You got me there. :P I'm a rabid Accel fan, what can I say. And I think over the span of waiting for Index II I've gotten used to seeing Accel's normal nonpsycho bishounen-like face in fanart. The anime has pulled me back to reality. :heh:

Now that I think about it, I never did like Accel's second clothing set. I wonder what Kamachi/Haimura was thinking when they designed that shirt...

[Marka13]

Don't worry, we will get that awesome winter jacket when the Russia Arc hits
:heh:

[Chaos2Frozen]

Now that I think about it, I never did like Accel's second clothing set. I wonder what Kamachi/Haimura was thinking when they designed that shirt...

I agree but I suppose his intention was to show that Accelerator had a change now so he inverted his original shirt design :heh:

[SuzushinaYuriko]

I didn't really want to say this, but Accel kinda looks like a zebra in that shirt. :heh:

[Sugarless Ocean]

Lol you can tell how big Tsuchimikado's role is in this season if you compared the way he looked in Masterpiece and in the new opening. (Sooo cool!) And dear god, Accelerator freakin scared me when he appeared. He walks like a zombie...

[Marka13]

Dude, I was shocked
I watched the opening and was like "Whoa! Tsuchimikado looks totally sexy" XD

He just looked awesome XD

[Suzuku]

So I just finished the episode. What's the problem with the OP again? It was fine to me, great even. And I was expecting to see Mikoto all over the OP by what everyone was saying and she only had a little sequence. :/

Also, the ED was awesome as well. I like how it's more fast paced and energetic than IKU's S1 EDs, Kurosaki Maon did a great job with it.

And the animation and art look excellent, even better than S1 which was no slouch. I wonder what happened to the scene from the PV though? Where Touma is telling Ouma he'll break that screwed up illusion?

[Sugarless Ocean]

Dude, I was shocked
I watched the opening and was like "Whoa! Tsuchimikado looks totally sexy" XD

He just looked awesome XD

Yeah, too bad he's got a sister complex. Oh well. :D *looks forward to more sexyness*

(And Accelerator doesn't look nearly as psycho in the novels as he does in the anime. At least the endings (from both seasons) made him look better.)

[Marka13]

Still, sister complex or not
http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb133/UchihaKarasu/DoWANT.jpg

[ahelo]

What?!?! I'd say biribiri should have more time in the op cus she is the main heroine. I lold though in the last part of the op where she had to run so she can be included. Poor biribiri side tracked again. Kuroko didnt even have animation :))

I guess its not her show this time around. I still liked her full face blushing which is 10x cuter than her blushing faces in railgun.

[Shinji103]

Rather than complaining, the better is stop it avoiding any angry/nasty stuff, right?
Have you ever saw me in Shana subforum complaining about the anime? No, you didn't.Who's complaining about what? :confused:
And I never said anything about you specifically.

I have never watched that series, so I have no idea what are you talking about :heh: but Montecristo and Romeo & Juliet can be better examples, right?It's just an example of an anime based on a novel that barely had anything to do with its base material. :p

[index87]

wow i am really impressed with the animation, just keeps getting better

and by the way looks like Ayako is the first to release sub, haveent cheked out the quality though

[Cosmic Eagle]

Such awesome foreshadowing

[Master Assassin]

Pretty decent except for some spelling/grammatical errors... Oh well, I understood most of the dialogue in the raw, the subs helped make it clearer (in case I misunderstood/did not get any part at all). :heh:

Up to you guys though. But I certainly ain't minding some mistakes unless if it's a total translation error...

[index87]

i have been reading around and it seems people are hating the UTW-gg joint sub, it seems they localized the subs, changed biri biri to sparky etc.

i just finished watching the Ayako release and the subs are decent for a fast sub, but all this just makes me wish eclipse came back

here is a comparison of subs between ayako and utw-gg http://www.ji-hi.net/index2/

[Tokkan]

"Sparky" actually fits better as a translation than "Shocker", it goes much better with her disdain for the nickname. "Shocker" actually sounds kinda cool.

Well, Eclipse subbed Biribiri as Shocker which, as Tokkan said, doesn't sound as good as Sparky. And after doing a thorough comparison between Ayako and gg-UTW myself, I'm definitely sticking to the latter, even if they do come out a couple hours later. It's cool to watch it as a Saturday morning show anyway.

I personally don't give a crap about name localization, which is a silly thing to get upset over anyway. I would like it if gg hardsubbed karaoke, but that's also a fairly petty gripe. The only thing I care about is quality of translation, editing, and encoding. While Ayako did the encoding well (for the most part), their editing was quite poor. Even though gg-UTW did fuck up the encoding at one point (when Ouma was using the Arrow of Azusa to attack Touma's apartment), their sentences flowed much better in English, and on the whole made more sense. Neither of the groups' translations were incorrect per se' (although I would have translated some parts differently), but Ayako simply has bad editing, or at least editing that's not to my liking.

the funniest thing about the whole utw-gg shitstorm is that gg and utw are kind of blaming each other :heh:
ps. im waiting for a third sub group

[Suzuku]

^ No, they aren't. If you look carefully, you'd notice that the Index posts on gg and UTW's sites were made by the same person, Kusion. He was simply trolling, which you feel for. For the most part the UTW staff are laughing in their IRC channel over the reaction at /a/.

And unless you want to wait days after the airing for Hatsuyuki, there won't be. Mazui is not subbing this because UTW are doing it, as Ulrezaj is a part of UTW/Ryuumaru. Eclipse, of course, is dead. Commie is not doing it because gg-UTW are doing it (partly because of overlapping staff, partly because they know not to compete with gg). Any other group isn't worth crap. Your only other option is waiting for Funimation to simulcast it in a couple of weeks, and I'm sure you'll love their awesome streams. :/

damm i fell for it:bash: im sticking to whoever comes out fastest which is ayako i understand Japanese well enough now so i dont really need the subs, i usually watch the raws to improve my understanding of Japanese, then the sub

[Master_Yoma]

Wow great first ep. back its just as good as the first season

[tsunade666]

....I haven't watched any subs yet but it looks like there are problems arising on it but from the comparison I don't know which too pick even though I downloaded both.

[Flere821]

^ downloaded both? *sigh* must be nice to live in a country where internet is not limited by how much you download - some of us can't afford to download both due to usage limits lol =/

And personally, I prefer Ayako - it just seems to have better translation imo, though I prefer the font gg-UTW uses.

[Hooves]

Wow great first ep. back its just as good as the first season

I agree, episode 1 of season 2 gave off a good start, wonder how they will keep the pace :p

Also I just use whatever sub group posts on a website I go to, to watch anime. So I really wont know the difference besides words used.

[tsunade666]

actually the internet in the morning is pretty messed up so I didn't download much but it's different when it's at night. I would just leave it be to download and watch it after I return home from school. And that's life.

I like both in the comparison but I prefer for karaoke is ayako and some part of the subs differ and much simpler is better but still hard to point it out so I would just say I like both.

[Suzuku]

Huh? I'm not sure if it's because English isn't you native tongue, thus you can't tell the different as well, but their editing was pretty horrible in comparison to gg-UTW. gg-UTW's translation was much smoother in English, whereas in Ayako's translation the sentences were too long and didn't flow well. It's also especially apparent in how horrible Ayako's translation of the OP/ED are.

Their karaoke is nice, but the actual lyrics that accompany it are not.

It's also especially apparent in how horrible Ayako's translation of the OP/ED are.
I don't really pay much attention to the OP/ED, so I don't know if one is actually better than the other ^^;

Still, 'ether lily staff' to me sounds a bit off compared to 'Lotus Wand' (see examples on that comparison page). And that Ayako mention it's Knights Kanzaki defeated, but gg-UTW didn't mention that. Knights have various implications accompany them, and different to the implications 'top soldiers' give.

I'm not saying Ayako is flawless, just that I prefer it over gg-UTW. There are some cases on that page where I think gg-UTW did a better job as well, but overall I think I'll stick with Ayako - if nothing else, their subs come out faster ^^;

[Marcus H.]

In any case, they should do their research.
I'm gonna be pissed when they spell Agnese as Anieze.

[Cosmic Eagle]

In any case, they should do their research.
I'm gonna be pissed when they spell Agnese as Anieze.

I know it's not official but Anieze is not wrong either....

[tsunade666]

and don't be pissed off Marcus if they spell use Anieze over Agnese because if someone should be blamed for it. It's more likely us in AS toaruverse sub forum. Because we are mostly active on toaruverse unlike other forums in english.

[Marcus H.]

Maybe I'm too demanding, but I would prefer them to do a little research about it.
It would give them plus points on quality.

[tsunade666]

we probably spread the name on far much more places that it become to become a law of that name but first and for most when the official name is out Agnese is the right name but if we are just romaji the name Anieze isn't wrong too.

[Suzuku]

If you see them spell a name wrong just go to their IRC to correct them. They'll respond.

[Aki-Furaba]

Wanna share some thought here...

Just read some review for Index II Episode I, it says that to fully appreciate the To Aru Universe, we kinda have to listen and think about everything they say in the Anime, which is a HUGE minus for one community yet a HUGE plus for another...

true, if you know well about Christianity and all the history of the religion...and if you also know a lot about Science (especially Physics) - you will be able to enjoy To Aru Majutsu no Index to its fullest potential...

by saying that, I gotta re-state even without doing so, you would still be able to enjoy it a lot...just not as much as if you actually know all those things... :D

being Mexican american my family and relatives are big catholics except my grandma shes Christian, anyways it definitely makes the whole series more enjoyable if you understand the whole religion jargon:confused: now that the whole series has gotten so much more in-depth in to religion not being able to understand the concepts at play means your missing half the story

PS. being forced to read the bible and study catholicism turned out to be a blessing in disguise:)

[TJR]

http://anime.webnt.jp/program/index.php?pg_page=tv_detail&detail=4179

Summaries up to Ep. 5 are up (all episodes scripted by Masanao Akahoshi). Anyone able to shed any light as to how they match up with the light novels?

[tsunade666]

before anyone can shed lights on it. Can someone translate it?

[SuzushinaYuriko]

I can make out that it mentions the Roman Catholic Church, Orsola Aquinas, Kanzaki, and Stiyl. Sorry, but I still can't read all that kanji. :heh:

[Marcus H.]

Posting the translations in the Light Novels thread for no spoilers. :D

[Wilfriback]

Watching the OP I've noticed when it starts Touma, Index and Accelerator are moving forward while Mikoto is going to the opposite direction. Maybe it was true the rumor about Hiroshi Nishikiori has read to the volumes 19+.

[Suzuku]

Why wouldn't he have? He's the director after all lol. Although I'm not sure how that correlates to her moving backwards in the OP.

[MeisterBabylon]

...this is getting ridiculous. :eyespin:

[Tokkan]

LOL, you do notice that Index is skipping/hopping and Accelerator is limping along with a crutch? It's more likely she's walking away for stylistic purposes as a means of making her walk different from Touma's, like with with Index and Accelerator. Not because of materal the anime won't be going far enough to cover, that's ridiculous and completely arbitrary.

[Flere821]

^ I've already mentioned a theory about Mikoto walking in opposite direction in the OP compared with the rest of them in the Light Novel thread, but it kinda got buried in all the new posts about the latest novel. Go find that if anyone's interested.

Those are sales from the last DVD/BD volume of each series. Assuming average sales were something similar to what is listed (which they probably were) then if we put Index and Railgun together, that would mean Raildex sold over 30000 copies per volume. K-ON level lol. No wonder J.C.Staff invests so much into the series. Also, good to see that Index sales were on par with Toradora and Shana. And lol ZnT, I wonder why J.C.Staff even kept making seasons when sales were that lukewarm anyway.

[tsunade666]

I can't read it suzuku

I love ZnT and I like the fan service of the anime so I want more of it. And Shana is also good and didn't care for what the other says.

And suzuku don't put railgun and index sales together. Railgun still sales more for the anime being it's a moe monster show which every body would like.

I prefer if I would just isolate the two.

[Master Assassin]

Railgun still sales more for the anime being it's a moe monster show which every body would like.

I feel like I need to insert "And that's where a lot of problems appear" here, but I wonder if I could.

... Being on the Index side, I'd hope that Index will outmatch Railgun somehow especially after this season ends (We got a lot of attraction factors here. Screw the glutton Index, there are a lot more goodies which will come anyway, and I bet even Index herself have better things to appeal to most viewers after this :p).

Which leads me to the question to what direction will Railgun go after the sisters' arc, but I'll save it for another kind of discussion I'm not even sure if we even had it here in the Index/Railgun subforums...

And I'd put them together, since they're apart of the same franchise. I wouldn't be surprised if J.C.Staff counted their sales together internally.

@Soul Assassin: Don't see Index outselling Railgun ever. Slice of life moe shows with girl friends hanging out and doing w/e are just very popular. I don't see it as a problem either, since Railgun's success helps Index too. Also, they'll probably just follow the same formula for S2 of Railgun as they did for S1; canon in the first half, and Kamachi written stories not in the manga for the second half to flesh out characters and plot. Also, I still see the Railgun manga just doing what it always has, showing Mikoto's POV. You can have any type of plot you want with that, it's just a fun series.

[tsunade666]

fun with the series plus fun for all to see.

I can't see index beating mikoto on sales simply as that. As for the second season I bet it would be higher than the previews sales but really beating the sales of railgan is near impossible.

[Wilfriback]

In overall Railgun still can beat Index's sales.

[Suzuku]

^ What? Railgun does beat Index in overall sales. Unless you're talking about novels and manga and such which isn't really fair since Index novel came out 3 years before the Railgun manga and on average there are 3 Index novels per year and only 2 Railgun volumes.

[tsunade666]

I think he meant on the sales of the anime index and railgun. Railgun still beats index in that terms.

In terms of novel vs the manga. Isn't that different materials and I don't see any benefit on comparing those sales.

Now for the sales of second season Index. I hope it goes well. But I don't see it beating railgun.

[I_am_Kami]

someone said episode 2 missed out alot of stuff. Is that true?

[Suzuku]

Read the novel on BT and find out. Everything they cut wasn't important or dire, so no, they didn't cut out a lot.

[Chaos2Frozen]

someone said episode 2 missed out alot of stuff. Is that true?

If you're refering to my post, I'll clarify what I meant- The major plot points were presented as well as I had hoped. But they did skip out on some exact details and historical informations, but it's for the best as it would blog down the flow of the story in the anime and give people more ammunition to flame than some silly fanservice.

In terms of novel vs the manga. Isn't that different materials and I don't see any benefit on comparing those sales.

Now for the sales of second season Index. I hope it goes well. But I don't see it beating railgun.
Wrong, I didn't mean only the anime, I said overall.

As for the anime is pretty obvious that moeblob series cannot be beaten that easy.

[tsunade666]

what? overall sales of railgun beat the novel and anime of index? what in a combine manner?

what's the total sales for railgun and the total sales for index.

How can railgun beat the index novel and manga in total sales?

[Flere821]

I think it was said back in the novel thread that Railgun beats Index in both anime and manga sales... but I highly doubt it beats the light novel sales as well considering there's been 10 million copies of Index novels sold.

[Wilfriback]

This has scared me about how much people wants Railgun OVA just to see Saten :heh:

Lol, should just go ahead and make a Saten spin-off.

[Master Assassin]

Maybe someone should go and make the Touma+Saten fanfic written by a certain Toaru BBS (which stemmed off from 2ch) a reality...

(yeah, there IS!)

[tsunade666]

oh great fans........ I want to see saten too but Index II is worth to see. And it just proves more that people like railgun moe blob characters than index. Reminds me of when I just visited a local forum site for our country. And when I search in the anime threads it's up to date but their is no index thread but their is a railgun thread..... great from that point on I wouldn't go back on that.

[SuzushinaYuriko]

I think only Mikoto and Uiharu can be counted as moeblobs in the Railgun girl group. Saten and Kuroko are pretty awesome and can't be counted as your standard typical moe girls since 1. Saten is mature at times and has a genuinely likable character and 2. Kuroko takes her job seriously and is also mature...in a completely different way. :heh:

I wanna see Saten in Index II too, but I'd much rather have a third season of Index than a second season of Railgun.

About ToumaxSaten, I'll only support it if Saten actually wins his heart and isn't just labeled another one of his harem girls, pushed to the back of the line, and forgotten (e. g. Himegami).

[outerelf]

ToumaXSaten... I can't really see it. I can see ToumaXUihara, because those two have some really similar personalities, but not Touma and Saten

[SuzushinaYuriko]

Touma and Uiharu don't have similar personalities. If anything, it's Mikoto who shares the most personality traits with Touma (e. g. her reckless and annoying sense of justice). ToumaxSaten I can see happening because if they ever met, Touma would find relief in the fact that Saten's a normal girl (unlike the rest of his harem who are perfectly capable of causing mass destruction if they found out they were rejected). At least, that's how I perceive how the pairing would work.

[gaboratamer]

Agree.If he EVER decide to foccus his attention on a girl,it will be better for his health to choose a normal one instead of a esper/magician that can kill you anytime she wants

[Wilfriback]

If he chooses a girl ever the other will go for his head.

[giorno]

the only one who would is Index, and even then, it's debatable....

the other girls(even Mikoto) are too "mature" and not enough screwed to not just accept it...

[Wilfriback]

the only one who would is Index, and even then, it's debatable....
Other parts like arm, legs, etc...

the other girls(even Mikoto) are too "mature" and not enough screwed to not just accept it...
Ask gekota :heh:.

[MeisterBabylon]

Whatever happened to Touma's onee-chan-conism? :p

[giorno]

that's a different situation. If Touma just chooses a girl and gets together with her, i don't see why any of the other girls wouldn't just accept it. Index is the only one who looks "egoistical"(for lack of a better term) enough to not accept it right away, and as i said, even that's debatable...

No, no, just look when the amakusa girl is around Touma, she even acepts her to be close to Touma, in the other hand, if Mikoto passes around and finds Touma walking together with a girl she will start throw lightnings without thinking even if Touma has nothing to do with her.

[Master Assassin]

Project Index (http://www.project-index.net/contents/hp0006/list00000000.html) have updated the character list with new ones, which includes Tatemiya Saiji and Itsuwa.

*cough*onlynow?*cough*

[tsunade666]

The name of Itsuwa their is only Itsuwa and not Uragami or what ever her name is. But they still decide to show Itsuwa early on.

[Marcus H.]

In a couple of days, we shall find out. >:3

[tsunade666]

or more like weeks because it would still be a lot more to cover before that part.

Well aside from that I was having a hard time on Misha/Sasha surname on how to spell that name but after looking at the site now I know.

[Wilfriback]

[Marka13]

I don't they spell it right actually
I think it's supposed to be "Kruezhev"
http://toarumajutsunoindex.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Sasha_Kreuzhev

[Wilfriback]

I don't they spell it right actually
I think it's supposed to be "Kruezhev"
http://toarumajutsunoindex.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Sasha_Kreuzhev
The japanesse wiki says "Kruezhev".

[tsunade666]

but the translation in index site makes sense if it's a russian girl name.

[mt.andi]

There's a difference in Russian surnames depending on the gender (in ending), so actually "Kruezhev" is a male version. Female analog is - "Kruezheva".
Though in whole my life I've never heard such surname, so I think, it supposed to be "Khrushchev", like Nikita Khrushchev (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikita_Khrushchev). That's make some sense. And female analog is Sasha Khrushcheva (Саша Хрущёва).

upd: But in katakana Khrushchev - フルシチョフ (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/フルシチョフ). Kamachi's mistake or fiction?.. Translators are free to choose. Kreuzhev doesn't look like Russian word.

[Cosmic Eagle]

All the Russian names in Index look really weird anyway....

Until now I don't how to spell that guy's name....Deiguruv? Digurv?

[Master Assassin]

woah!! they gave itsuwa light brown eyes!! it actually works for her.

[tsunade666]

light brown looks nice but the novel's light purple or is it red is also good.


I'm no good with color names or difference.... no wonder I'm getting a failing grade on color design :(

its not u its just not that clear on the novels

[Wilfriback]

A friend has told me in the OP there is a girl wielding a dress sword next right to Tatemiya is that true?

[tsunade666]

^ their really is a girl to the right of or is it left. From tatemiya it's his left is where the girl is as for me from the monitor it's on the right side.

Their is a girl with purple hair but it's not itsuwa.

their are two parts of amakusa in the op.

the first part is in the where house. Only itsuwa is showing here weapon.

now on the second part where tatemiya attacks the girl on my right side of the screen did had a sword but to distinguished it is hard if it's a dress sword.

[Suzuku]

Does anyone know where we can view who are the key animators and directors for the episodes? That way we can gauge the type of quality they will have before they air. Not ANN (they only have ep 1 staff up).

[Welkins]

Haven't watch this show yet; however, I'm interested in checking it out.

Judging by the OPing and the EDing, it seems quite obvious that Touma is going to end up with Index. The redhair female is blatantly the third wheel, looking in from the outside.

Japanese cartoon is so easily predictable I could have just put spoiler tags in this simple post.

[Suzuku]

^ Uhh... for them to be so easy to predict you sure are way off the mark. :/

And what redhair female? Awaki? lololololol.

[Wilfriback]

^ Uhh... for them to be so easy to predict you sure are way off the mark. :/
Judging only the OP, he will only see Mikoto being ignored and the last scene with Index jumping to hug Touma and when tey're staring each other.

[Suzuku]

Yeah, but what does that have to do with my point?

[Wilfriback]

Yeah, but what does that have to do with my point?
His point is "cartoon is so easily predictable ".

As for the third wheel girl, I think he mean Mikoto, I don't know why you thinked of Awaki.:heh:

Japanese cartoon is so easily predictable I could have just put spoiler tags in this simple post.Who Touma ends up with romantically (if anyone) isn't really the point of the story, though. That's only one small sub-plot. Even if you could predict that part, it really doesn't tell you anything about how the actual story will play out. So, basically, even if you were right, it's sort of a dubious prize.

For whatever it's worth, I haven't read any of the novels, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if the series ends with the romantic question unresolved. If I were to place a bet on it, I think that'd be my choice.

There is absolutely no sign of Touma being romantically interested in anybody. Index especially is not romantically involved with him at all. And Mikoto is a brunette, not a redhead. Not sure how you got that wrong.

Also, 1. don't call anime cartoons because those are two different things and 2. check your sources before asserting a statement because your comment tried to make you look like a know-it-all and failed miserably.

[tsunade666]

And I was trying to say he failed misreably at predicting lol.

And he said a redhead. The only redhead girl in the OP is Awaki, and she happens to be looking through glass in the OP. Unless...

am I the only one who think he meant styl as the red hair ><
I actually considered this, but there's no way. :heh:

[Shinji103]

Even if you could predict that part, it really doesn't tell you anything about how the actual story will play out. So, basically, even if you were right, it's sort of a dubious prize.It may not be the direct point of the story, but that doesn't mean it's not important. (too bad I can't mention novel events here, or I could point out some dang good evidence to the contrary) Many animes have romantic sub-plots that, while seperate and aren't directly influential on the main plot, are still just as important as the main plot. There's more than just one aspect to a show, and that's often how romantic plots fit into action/shounen/seinen animes.

For whatever it's worth, I haven't read any of the novels, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if the series ends with the romantic question unresolved. If I were to place a bet on it, I think that'd be my choice.I dunno, I'd be ready to challenge that bet. (again, too bad I can't point out novel events for this :()

There is absolutely no sign of Touma being romantically interested in anybody. Index especially is not romantically involved with him at all.Somebody here doesn't remember some scenes from season 1, and even from the first episode of S2. There are several good hints in season 1 that Touma is interested in Index. Index herself pretty much outright confessed to Touma right at the end of the first arc, although I'm sure there are disbelievers who will refute that it meant anything even remotely romantic. :rolleyes:

and 2. check your sources before asserting a statement because your comment tried to make you look like a know-it-all and failed miserably.Actually, putting aside the redhead and cartoon comments, I'd say he's dead-on.

[relentlessflame]

It may not be the direct point of the story, but that doesn't mean it's not important. (too bad I can't mention novel events here, or I could point out some dang good evidence to the contrary) Many animes have romantic sub-plots that, while seperate and aren't directly influential on the main plot, are still just as important as the main plot. There's more than just one aspect to a show.No, I didn't mean that it wasn't important, but the implication of the original poster was that figuring this one thing out makes the whole show predictable. There's a heck of a lot more to the plot than "who's Touma going to end up with?!" Even if you guess "he's going to end up with Index" (or whatever), you still aren't any further ahead about the whole science vs. religion sci-fi plot that actually drives things for the most part.

In other words, you can't take only the romantic aspect of this show on its own and act like you've figured the whole thing out. There's a lot more to it than just romance.

(And by the way, I don't see how anyone can argue against that interpretation of the first arc in season one; it's pretty darn clear...)

Anyway, it was a troll post, so we should probably stop feeding it... :heh:

[giorno]

there's no doubt Index is by far the girl Touma has the greatest attachment to. That said, it never looked romantic, at least on his side...it feels kinda similar to accelerator and last order's relationship...

i definitely can see the romantic sub-plot never being resolved...actually i can more easily see Touma never even considering having a romantic relationship at all, unless we get an epilogue with grown up Touma, in which case all bets are off...

Yes, the romantic(i'm using italics because whenever Touma is involved, romance is always one-sided...) sub-plots are important and have an impact on the story, but they don't necessarily need to be resolved, since they're just sub-plots...

[Shinji103]

In other words, you can't take only the romantic aspect of this show on its own and act like you've figured the whole thing out. There's a lot more to it than just romance.Well sure, I was just pointing out that it's not unimportant. (and trust me, there are people who will argue that)

(And by the way, I don't see how anyone can argue against that interpretation of the first arc in season one; it's pretty darn clear...)And as there are people who will argure romance is unimportant in this series, there are people who will argue the interpretation of the first arc. :heh:

But anyways, yeah, as relentless said, on with the discussion.

[SuzushinaYuriko]

Somebody here doesn't remember some scenes from season 1, and even from the first episode of S2. There are several good hints in season 1 that Touma is interested in Index. Index herself pretty much outright confessed to Touma right at the end of the first arc, although I'm sure there are disbelievers who will refute that it meant anything even remotely romantic. :rolleyes:

Yes, but does Touma exhibit anything close to actual romantic love for Index? I don't think so. The times where he gets embarrassed are things that he would react to with any girl (such as seeing Index sleeping on his bed with minimal clothes). He protects Index because he's the type of guy who would save anyone in need of help. I don't see anything romantic in their relationship at all and those two strike me as close friends rather than lovers. I remember season 1 perfectly fine, thank you very much.

That doesn't mean Index doesn't have feelings for Touma, but that it's pretty much onesided on Index's part.

And yes, I will shut up now and stop feeding the troll. :heh: Sorry, I just had to respond.

[Flere821]

Though on the subject of just speculating how the relationthips will turn out... I still think Mikoto will eventually be the one that gets Touma in the romantic manner, due to her 'home-team advantage'. But chances are Index will still be close to Touma, and like mentioned above not in the same way as a romantic relationship.

Then again, I'm quite willing to bet that the first girl that had enough of Touma being dense, goes up to him and forcibly gives him a deep kiss will be the one that gets him in the end xD

Either way I don't really mind who gets him, as long as the issue is cleared up well. That doesn't apply to crack pairings or 'Suzushina Yuriko'.

[Chaos2Frozen]

[outerelf]

Does anyone think in this second season that there will be any original episodes, or will it all be from the light novels?

[Vanish]

Seeing how the pace is rather fast, I don't think they can afford to put something original inbetween or they'd have to shrink it down more.
Or they already planned something original which might be the cause of the already fast pacing, but I doubt that.

That said, I don't mind original episodes but I don't think they should or will do it.

[Shinji103]

Does anyone think in this second season that there will be any original episodesDoubt it, since they didn't in S1. Probably the main reason they had anime original material in Railgun even was because there wasn't that much manga material at the time. At least not if they wanted to have anything for an S2.

[Teh_Ping]

There's more than enough content in the LNs already, such that they could have done it like an old gundam season.

[Plant42]

Now the "Remnant arc"(vol.8) has been confirmed to end in 2 eps(ep6-7), which mean we'll have 17eps left for the rest five volumes.

^ Posting this in novel thread so we can discuss safely.

[Marcus H.]

Confirmed Episode Titles

Episode 06: Remnant
Episode 07: Move Point

[Suzuku]

No Kanji to go along with them?

[Marcus H.]

Kanji:

Episode 06: 残骸 (Zangai, "Wreckage")
Episode 07: 座標移動 (Zahyou Idou, "Move Target")

[Suzuku]

So are Move Point and Remnant in katakana as subtitles?

[Marcus H.]

Yep. *lolcharacterlimit*

[Phibrizzo]

Well I was hoping remant arc was 1 episode long but I guess I can deal with 2.

[Wilfriback]

Wait, only 1 episode??? Why?

[Phibrizzo]

Half of is its already on Railgun, and the other points I cant comment due to fear of the banhammer :P.

[Wilfriback]

Still will feel tho short, two episodes are fine.

[thirdlc]

Does anyone know where we can view who are the key animators and directors for the episodes? That way we can gauge the type of quality they will have before they air. Not ANN (they only have ep 1 staff up).

http://anime.webnt.jp/program/index.php?pg_page=tv_detail&detail=4179

You can see the directors for a few of coming episodes there. But in this case, anime.webnt.jp may be useless since J.C.Staff puts a number of animation directors into one episode these days, but only animation supervisor seems to be listed each episode there. It's almost impossible to predict each quality.

I won't intend to discourage you, but it's quite hard for S2's quality to surpass or even equal S1's quality because talented animators who participated in S1 to achieve its high quality are absent due to working for other shows. They can't be replaced easily. Let's hope J.C.Staff managed to get substitutes for them.

[Suzuku]

^ Ah, thanks. Yeah, I really hope they did. Then again, we won't really need them until later on this season, so hopefully they'll be back on Index by that time as we'll be into winter season by then.

Also, Japan's anime expectations for Fall 2010 are out. Guess who's first?

i think oreimo migth end first thanks to the great animation work aic is doing on that, and index will probably be 2nd or 3rd

[index87]

wow Im definitely liking the pacing this season, cant wait to see the daihasei festival arc animated a lot of laughs to be had there

[Chaos2Frozen]

Speaking of daihasei festival, I'm really interested in how they would animate the other classmates in Touma's class, which surprising turned out to be a very... Lets say 'lively' bunch heh.

[MeisterBabylon]

Maybe they might take another life from Keion and give the girls personalities of their own, kicking off even more waifu-claiming outside of Touma. :uhoh:

I don't know, on one hand JC Staff can be quite... Creative.

On the other hand, they are putting their episodes through a diet program so...

[faiz blaster]

On the other hand, they are putting their episodes through a diet program so...

Those words carry truth in them....

Seriously, there will probably be no time to animate anything that did not appeared in the novel. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if they cut out the part about Touma's class entirely.

On another note, has there been any news regarding the Seiyuu of the upcoming new characters? I know it is kind of early for the likes of Fukiyose and Oriana, but there should be at least something out there regarding Musujime Awaki already.

[Plant42]

Musujime Awaki's VA is Sakurai Harumi(Yuri from Angel Beats)

http://kodoku21.blog83.fc2.com/blog-entry-1054.html

[SuzushinaYuriko]

That's a pretty good seiyuu choice for Awaki. I'd like to see how she can pull off Awaki's type of character.

[zeniselv]

i actually think yuri was a awaki like character.

Two episodes for volume 8? I know it's thin, but it's not that thin...

Then again, a good portion of that was still Kuroko's undying love for her onee-sama... And I'm only really concern about the last bit, if-you-know-what-I-mean... :cool: So as long as they get that part right, I won't complain.
