BTW, fighting over a Railgun VS Index discussion again? ... Why are you guys losing your time over such trivial matters. Fridge logic is bad for argumentations ... the problem is that he said the chapter was 20 pages!!

Railgun is more consistently enjoyable because it focuses on one thing and does it well, unlike NT which jumps all over the place. It's perfectly valid to like Railgun more, because even if you also like bits of NT there might be other bits that annoy you and lower the average.
For example, let's say I really liked NT1 and particularly Shiage or something. It explored Academy City in great detail and the dark side of the city and all that. Ignoring NT2 which is basically a huge recap, Shiage has almost no role at all in NT3 and doesn't appear in NT4. I keep hoping for something to happen with him, but it doesn't. It doesn't mean the rest is bad, but it's not what I hoped for. By contrast, if you like Railgun you know you're going to continue liking Railgun since it keeps the same themes throughout. |

Keep in mind that NT 3 and 4 were supposed to be like that to give the reader a better sense of the chaos that was taking place during the whole events. Also random thought, I don't know if this was said and sorry if it is spoilerish

Spoiler for List:
It's a fairly short list. It'd have to be a conversation to discuss the series I like and why I like em to really point em out. Also, less loli's. I don't mind em but Kamachi is introducing a few too many. Quote:

NT3, however, just had way more characters than the plot could sustain. It's fine to go for "chaos" although I didn't get that feeling at all, but you could probably have cut the number of recurring characters in half without changing anything. Um... how is that ironic? |

Hmm... My only gripe about NT so far is that AC espers can't quite defeat let alone fight magicians on equal terms. Even Accelerator had a hard time against Cendrillon, and that's even when he's teaming up with pretty much everyone (Kamikoto, WORST, Shiage, and Umidori).
For once I want to see an esper actually defeat a magician. Touma doesn't really count, because he's neither. I've read that mages were trained specifically to fight espers, but man, it seems technology is the only reason why AC still has an advantage over the Magic Side despite its enforcers getting Worfed by magicians. |

Technology will always improve, magic however seems harder to make that leap.

I don't mean it in that way. Actually, this is the kind of character I'd love a comeuppance even more, because it amuses me so. But I wonder if Kamachi is the kind to do that. Hope he does.

Also, Espers were never meant to fight anyone. From the start, they have been guinea pigs, or muses at best, for technological research. Academy City fights with technology because that's the result of everything they do (taking aside whatever Aleister is planning)

The thread has become a real brawler between fans, how interesting (too me half an hour to read them) . Good thing it calmed down.

About that, I don't really think Kamachi is the kind of guy who brings divine retribution to a specific set of characters. He's really impartial about it, after all there's so much characters in the series who bit the dust (girls or not ... douche bags or not ... cool or not ... cute or not ... ) . Well, to put it bluntly there's as much chance he'll do it or won't ... but I hope he won't. Awaki doesn't even have socks, it's not even worth putting in the grade/class E (-w-") ... when I say Zettai Ryouki it's at least class A ... bellow aren't worth mentioning

Though I think if a Magician vs Esper match did happen, another war might happen so it's best to be careful. Since they're always trying to be careful, if word spread that "An Esper beat a Magician" that would be a problem
