Translation for the Stiyl SS has started.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Don't ask me... I'm just the messenger.

[leukrota]

^ Yet the craving to ask doesn't go away.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Well apparently Index SP is the new number one something... And seems big enough to appear on TV I think...

[Cosmic Eagle]

Well you won't believe where I found it in Kino....Not in the LN section BTW

Surprise me

I couldn't find any New Testament volumes at all, let alone the SP.

[I_am_Kami]

I am guessing it finally got number 1 in the general book category.

Remember this?

^ That's probably it... I wouldn't be surprised if an OAV was made out of SP.

Anyway, I wonder if this makes a suitable subject for discussion but I wanted to comment on how cool the magic name is.

From the early explanations I knew that the magic name was related to the magician abilities and personal philosophy, but with Birdway's explanation (and Kanzaki's monologues) it's clear that it is a lot more than that. I think it has to do with Aleister's (the real one) concept of "true will" which was inspired by Nietzche's "will to power."

Being under the concept of "true will" would mean that the magician's name, or purpose of existence, is not really chosen but rather discovered by "aligning" to the universe... or something like that.

It may also be that the magician's name sets their destined path, as drawn by the universe... perhaps similar to the red string of fate... Those magicians that lose their purpose fall into despair except for the ones that encountered Imagine Breaker, so maybe he cuts that connection to the universe allowing them for find a new purpose? ... hmm.. maybe I should have posted this in the speculations thread.

@zaeraal: Good job!

"Two level 5s and one really important related person; What experiment were they doing?"
"Why happened in Tokiwadai's park!?"
It's an abnormal situation that the Anti-Skills are all jumpy about.
The reason behind it was,
Just because of a loss of 120 yen at a certain vending machine.

*Facepalm*

“How do you think he rose to such a high position?” the tour guide replied to Kanzaki’s question. “The Anglican Church has the special anti-magician unit of Necessarius. It seems that bishop was rewarded for supplying a large number of personnel for Necessarius.”
“How is that suspicious?”
“…What if about 50% of the people he supplied had lost their parents in accidents or other incidents? And what if another 30% had been abandoned due to their parents being in debt?”
“You don’t mean…”
“As I said, these are nothing more than suspicions. There are no connections between each individual incident, but that bishop simply finds children like that too often. It is possible that he carries out some kind of ‘preliminary arrangements’ in order to gain personnel…”

Its resumed in two words:
Children traffic.

The bottom of his shoe trampled on something hard.
It was a human face burned black to the extent that not even the expression could be read.
It looked like a failed attempt at making a cookie. There was not even the slightest moist feeling in the portions that were split open.

Its true Stiyl doesn't feels anything when he decides to kill.

Sooooooo.

JC staff this fall is doing
-an anime for shana 3
-the friends club anime
-Bakuman 2 anime
-a re-airing of ZNT

Then January
-milky Holmes anime

Then just now I read that there will be a Hidan no Aria 2.

Does it look good for an Index anime?
Then just now I

[Miraluka]

If you are talking about BokuTomo, JC Staff isn't doing the friends club anime but AIC.

Milky Holmes? Hidan no Aria 2?

ugh... I really disliked those...

I'm all for Shana 3, but I really hope they don't mess it up.

AIC? They did Oreimo right?

... At least their animation is more stable than J.C. Staff's

I would so love for a kid to pick up that book....

Yeah, the SP are better material to make the OVAs out of than SS2.

It's not that difficult or complicating- the Magician's magic name refers to their core; the reason why they pick up magic- the motivation that drives them forward, at the same time it can also represents how the Magician does things and what they stand for.

Actually where did you hear all this from?

The Three shows for Fall has been confirmed a long time ago- Shana3, Baku2 and Kimi to Boku... (Edit: I just saw the Milky Holmes sequel news...)

Re-airing of ZnT also confirmed, but BokuTomo is by AIC and where did you hear about a Hidan sequel?

Nothing has changed so far, the most we'll get is Railgun 2... Though I still insist it's better to make a movie of it instead...
