To Aru Kagaku no Railgun - Anime Spoilers & Speculation (for Railgun manga readers)

[Rising Dragon]

I'm under the impression that the Railgun anime's suppose to coincide with the Index anime. As such I'm curious as to how the Touma/Accelerator battle will play out, compared to how it was in the Index anime.

That said, when they do get there, I really hope they make those damn turbines spin faster. Those things didn't bloody look like they were going fast enough to create the wind storm that was fucking with Accelerator's plasma in the Index anime; Railgun's manga imagery did a better job at conveying that.

Not enough sparkles.

That early on, I think Biribiri would prefer seeing sparks around Touma, rather than sparkles. :V

[Chaos2Frozen]

Fair point...

I wonder which one will the animators follow for Touma vs Accelerator.
Since the Index anime, manga and Railgun manga portrays it slightly different.
For example, the Index anime portrays Accelerator standing up when he decides to control the vectors of the air while the manga shows him controling wind when he was getting up after being knocked down by Touma. The Railgun manga shows him controlling the wind while lying on his back after being punched.

And when Touma finds Accelerator with Misaka sister, Accelerator kicks Misaka so Misaka flies towards Touma. In the original Index Accelerator does not dare kick her, just let her lie.

So anyone think we will be getting Libral Arts Island after the stster arc?

I don't think the spinning turbines blew away Accelerator's plasma by force, they were meant to disrupt and alter the vectors of the wind, messing up Accelerator's calculations. The plasma will then naturally since the calculation for compression are wrong.

It's not impossible, I'll give it 50:50

I would love to see them try to tie in more characters before Index III.

[Hell_ping]

Here's hoping that they can clear out the railgun ss.

Timeframe wise that has already past. LA city is the next event on Railgun side and ties into some of the events durring the sports festival what the manga had as the next arc.

There's that, but in both the anime and the manga, when it switched back to Accelerator with his plasma bomb, it showed him amidst a huge windstorm. The anime's turbines just weren't conveying that with how slow they were moving, while the manga did.

[Marina2]

There are many things they can add in anime version..

- What happen to Nunotaba Shinobu after sister arc?
- ITEM everyday life....Why not?

or some content that can lead to Index SS3

Spoiler:

- The first meeting between Shiage and Rikou (Hamazura joins ITEM)

The wind turbines disrupts Aceclerator's calculation.

I agree on this account. The railgun manga really did great on its portrayal on what's happening. The anime just lacks the impact the novel or manga has

its like little busters half-baked effort they can probably take it onto another level but they are just doing it the average way which is sad. It didn't give justice on the original work.

[Rising Dragon]

Yeah I'm aware of what the turbines and wind were doing. Just that the anime's depictions of the turbine's movement didn't really match up with the wind that it created; it felt odd.

I won't comment on Little Busters!; I thought they did a fairly good job. :V

[Raisingfalcon]

What im hoping is that they feel out more of the level 5's in the manga. In index novels there finally going to get into the 5th level 5 and it only took them 28 volumes to get there. I would love it if they would make even if its a filler arc for the anime railgun version an arc around the seventh level 5. Or they could just bring up the SS2 volume( I believe thats where the 7th appeared) where he appears.

Thats because it wasn't the turbines that were creating the wind. It was Aceclerator, as his caluclations broke down.

On that subject, I'd love to see them do that short story about Gunha as well, where he "fights" Mikoto. Hell, that could work in this season chronologically I believe. Imagine FIVE Level 5s in one season! Even give Kakine a cameo (which he'll probably get if they get to the Daihasei arc).

[OverNOut]

^That's a great idea. It would be a good debut for "Captain Japan".
If they animate the Daihasei Festival arc, it will be good to see Gunha giving his guts speech.
