Alright well, since this is starting to go nowhere I'll just comment on a few final things before I disappear from this topic.

And yes I enjoyed Gurren Lagann. There was some stupid moments, weird logic here and there and was somewhat short, but otherwise it was a really fun series. Quote:
And having a series set in reality isn't a bad thing, that's not the impression I was trying to give here. I was merely commenting that an original world is more imaginative than a story built around the real world. I don't have a "comfort zone" when it comes to manga/anime series. And no I'm not "dropping" Index. I only drop series that downright disgust me, and Index isn't like that. I won't read the manga anymore but I'll put the series on hiatus for now until if I ever feel like reading the light novels. So for those who are misunderstanding, I do not hate Index. I just had expectations for it coming into the series and did not get what I was looking for. Index is good for what it is.

^ argument accepted....what can you say?? Index is a underrated series after all. Not everyone can accept it, and some people in out there hate it...., i know index doesn't fulfill all "shounen" requirement...and i always say that index doesn't fit with your taste after all.

eh...you should learn to try to read something and appreciate it for what it is, rather than categorize everything to cater to your expectations. The only thing Baccano and FMA have in common is that they both focus on alchemists. Alchemists which by the way, have pretty much nothing in common as alchemy in Baccano is based on real world alchemy, while in FMA is basically magic....

Right, i might want to state what i'm talking about right =]
There is a few parts in the Index manga, like the flash back on when Index got the books jammed into her head in the chpt 4, Misaka point of view of what she 'Thought' looked like from her( which you dont see in the railgun manga), There was a part where he dreams of the future in Vol 2 chapter 1 before he loses his memories. And the skipping of Deep blood arc and angel fall |

The Skipping of Deep Blood and Angel Fall isn't a story direction choice; They explained at that time it wasn't certain whether the Index Manga would continue so they've decided to jump straight to the most immediately important points (aka the Sisters Arc since they've already introduced Mikoto). But afterward when the Manga is confirmed to continue, the Author kinda forgotten about them and just carried on.

But will the next arc will be skipped or go soon to Daihensai? I think the logic qe says yes, but it is high time that the Accelerator does not appear in the manga and has a large stake of up to Mikoto that can attract audiences of railgun in the sale of this volume.

Like I've said, the reason for the skips was because of it's uncertain continuation at that time, but now the Raildex series has become popular and successful, there's no reason that should be an issue anymore.

I think not, the index goes Shonen Gangan, she does not have many popular titles, but the manga has sold index until a good number of copies, the last volume of the manga has sold nearly 200k, a phenomenon that did not, but it is a respectable number.
