EDIT: There is one question in there with her blushing, I thought it was that but I guess not.

I demand that question also.

Isn't that the first three questions? The one where they repeatedly ask her about her feelings for Kamijou ^^

Seems about right... The key words align :heh:

That's what we're saying- the original answer had nothing about Kamijou.

No, Q67 is asking

"As expected, you want to go with Kamijou-san right?"
"I've already said it has nothing to do with that guy!"

Even with all of this shouting, I sadly think he still won't hear/understand me :heh: Aww...

I guess this means she doesn't consider any other type of date= a real date.

What are you guys talking about. Touma's Christmas is having to deal with the black santa or is it red santa in nt 7. The santa is trying to steal the symbol of god on christmas and will cause major calamity.

The Black Santa joined *insert GRS/GREMLIN-esque cabal here* and kidnapped red Santa so he can alter the magical course of Christmas and mess with the world's foundations.

Tsuchimikado returns to AC and sends Touma to the North Pole.

"prepared" by going off to save the world and stood Mikoto up on her 1st date, I'll bet :heh:

On the topic of 'Santa'... wasn't Santa based off Odin? I'd LOL if someone wrote out a crack Christmas fic with Othinus completely screwing over Touma :heh:

Meanwhile Kuroko tries to take advantage of the situation to get take her relationship with Mikoto to a "whole new level" Turning up on said snow covered bridge in a festive themed outfit with little "weather proofing" :innocent: resulting in said teleporter spending Christmas in hospital for frostbite and electrocution!

zaeraal

The guy translated the remaining 40 questions.

http://i.imgur.com/EbvH4dF.jpg
Q41: Did you use your ability to charge dry cells(batteries)? (I’m not sure about this question myself :/)
A41: Nope.

Q42: Favourite electronic appliances(home use)?
A42: I didn’t really have a favourite electronic appliances, but I think PDA are more convenient, Ara? does PDA counts as a electronic appliances?

Q43: Misaka’s signature move is Railgun, why do you use a coin?
A43: This is because when I went to the arcade, I always thought of putting a coin on my thumb and fire it away….yeah, like that.

Q44: How did you feel when you first fired the Railgun?
A44: It was like “I did it!” It was dangerous because there was a building nearby.

Q45: Will your fingers feel painful when you fire your railgun with a coin?
A45: Railgun is fired using the concept of electromagnetism, is there anything do to with fingers?

Q46: Other than coins, what are the other objects you could shoot Railgun with?
A46: As long as I’m able to accelerate the electromagnetic fields, all metal objects could be used, but I haven’t found anything good yet.

Q47: What is the distance of the Railgun shot you made in the last episode of the first season?
http://i.imgur.com/kqBgvzTl.jpg (http://imgur.com/kqBgvzT)
A47: Distance eh? Hm, I’m unable to change the initial velocity and friction of whatever I shoot with, so is the melting or evaporation of the object before it reaches the target. My ability can’t really determine the distance.

Q48: How many Railgun coins do you carry around with you?
A48: I don’t have a set amount, but I carry about 10 in my pocket.

Q49: How many Railgun shots can you fire in a row?
A49: It depends on my mood, but I can manage about 10.

Q50: Can you really fire a Railgun shotgun?
A50: The neighboring electromagnetic fields would interfere with each other, so it would be a bit difficult.

Q51: Can you handle being shot at with a gun from a distance?
A51: I can detect things in the space around me with electromagnetic waves, so I can handle it to a certain extent, even if it is a sneak attack.

Q52: If a spirit (or ghost?) appears before you and attacks you, would you run? Or fight?
A52: Spirit? As in a real spirit? Eh? But this is Academy City… But if I really were to see one face to face…..impossible x4

Q53: Until today, has any girls confessed(their love) to you?
A53: C-confess? There isn’t any confession like that! Even Kuroko is only joking around….I think. (*translator’s notes :lol poor kuroko)

Q54: What are the qualities you like about Kuroko?
A54: Well there is a lot if I have to say it all, in short, she is really a good person. Although she is a bit *cough* per…..vert.

Q55: Do you feel lonely when you don’t have body contact with Kuroko for some time?
A55: OF COURSE NOT!

Q56: When is the first time you meet Gekota? Is there any secrets regarding to Gekota that you can share?
A56: I saw it a gifts list, and always thought that it was adorable~ Gekota’s secrets? Erm, Gekota is not an just ordinary frog… is that okay?

Q57: Among all the Gekota merchandise, which one is your favourite?
A57: Gekota Phone, I won’t change it even a new phone model is out.

Q58: What kind of Gekota merchandise you wish they would manufacture?
A58: A Gekota that is able to move? ….that would be exciting, maybe.

Q59: Since Gekota is your favourite, do you like frogs?
A59: GEKOTA IS NOT A FROG!

Q60: What are your other favourite merchandise besides Gekota?
A60: I like Kill Bear/ Kirugumar (translator’s notes: that poor bear who got X hard by Kuroko), but Gekota is still top on my list !

Q61: Tokiwadai doesn’t seem like to have any place to hide your own private items, do Misaka have prohibited items?
A61: Hm, I think I have a few, (translator notes: In the Index novel, it is stated that Misaka will smuggle perfume into the dorm) even Kuroko have some.

Q62: How many times have Misaka kicked the vending machine? Have you gotten your 10,000 yen back? (laughs)
A62: I haven’t got my money back!

Q63: What are your measurements? (bust/waist/hip measurement)
A63: I don’t think you should ask girls about these things!

Q64: Do you mind having a smaller chest?
A64: I-I don’t think they are small!! They are just no-normal.

Q65: Thoughts about Shoukuhou?
A65: ….being a cheater, yeah…cheater. I’m quite sure she used her powers a lot.

Q66: Where would you go on your first date?
A66: Eh? Ah…hm… Places like a trestle when it snows or other romantic places should be okay…

Q67: So you DO wanted to go to these places with Kamijou-kun?
A67: I’ve already told you is none of that idiot’s business!!!

Q68: Who do you want to marry? And how will your wedding ceremony be?
A68: Eh? M-Marry?? Haven’t actually thought of it… Maybe a church that is has a beautiful ocean scenery outside…and also gets blessing from the Gekota priest?….hehehehehe….

Q69: Have you thought of a child’s name? Maybe it would also have an instrument’s name like yours? (note: Mikoto’s name 美琴 is made up of 美 and 琴 , which 美 means beauty and 琴 means harp, so her name consist of an instrument’s name). What about 美鼓碳? Do you think is a cute name? (Note: sorry I dunno how to pronounce that name in japanese… but the second word means drum, I think)
A69: Ah! Thats a nice idea, I will considerate it!

Q70: Who are important to you?
A70: Friends and family are very important~

Q71: Do you have anyone you longed for?
A71: My mother.

Q72: Is there anyone that you are not good at dealing with?
A72: The dorm supervisor, no doubt.

Q73: Do you ever feel homesick when you are staying in your dorm? If so, what would you do?
A73: I would make a phone call to my mother.

Q74: How long since you last seen your father? Do you want to meet him?
A74: Ara? I haven’t seen my father for almost a year, really do miss him. As for my mother, I still get to see her sometimes. Really wanted to see him after such a long time.

Q75: What do you think of the Level 5’s you’ve met? You seem to have a poor impression of them in both the anime and the manga (laughs)
A75: I’m not really sure, but, the first one is the one who did those horrible things to my sisters, and there is also that fraud with huge busts, she has an amazingly bad personality and attitude, although she may thought of me as the same way. Oh, and there is also this old hag who wouldn’t stop shooting light beams. I guess impressions from the first meeting really are important.

Q76: Do you think you are one of the few female protagonists that has a relationship with Kamijou-kun’s family?
A76: Eh? “A few” female protagonistS? What’s going on?

Q77: Why do you always address Kamijou-kun as “that guy” or “baka”?
A77: I called him that because he always addresses me as “Biri-biri”!!

Q78: Do you hate the name “Biri-biri”?
A78: I have a name, is Misaka Mikoto!

Q79: Say Misaka, since you’ve gave Kamijou-kun so many electrical attacks, why don’t you use your railgun instead?
A79: I don’t want to kill that guy! I just doesn’t like it when he purposely loses to me!

Q80: What type of boys do you like?
A80: Boys who are gentle and has a strong sense of justice…..Ahh that was a secret! A secret!

Touma fits her ideal boy when she has her Biri-Biri vision on. Also funny she calls him "That Guy" or "Baka" because Touma calls her Biri-Biri. They gave each other pet names!

So she treats Kamijou like she does because Kamijou treats her like does. It begins to make sense. I now see why we haven't had that much progress in a while :heh:

I'm pretty sure that the nickname is not meant to be endearing in any way, shape, or form :heh:

Anyway, Touma called her biri-biri simply because she is/was the most popular character (Misaki might upset her eventually considering how fast she has become popuar).

If I remember correctly, didn't Misaki say Mikoto is Piripiri? XD

Anyhow, I seriously wouldn't be surprised if Misaki overtakes Mikoto in popularity one day...

I would. Mikoto is the main character and we have seen her ups and downs. Misaki is "newish", especially to Anime fans, but we don't see her ups and downs or know anything near as much as her as Mikoto. It takes a very powerful characters like Mikoto to have full exposure for such a long time without becoming "old" or "hated" by the fans or be replaced by all the other characters that have come after her.

I'm inclined to agree with Destined Fate... but then, Misaki is a special case herself.

She is insanely popular for a character that's shown up in one scene of one anime episode. :heh: (Well, unless she showed up over in Index)

The amount of fanart featuring her is just mind-blowing when you consider that. I think that Misaki's popularity reflects how a lot of people out there want a major Railgun character that's... well-endowed, shall we say. :heh:

She's very important in the current Railgun manga arc. She's also been in Index a couple of times lately and has been hilarious in all of her scenes. This kind of popularity would not be possible if she had just been in one episode for a minute.

I think Misaki's growth in popularity has multiple factors, that being her ongoing arc in Railgun, her appearance in episode 1 of Railgun S, and at the time, her appearance in TAMNI NT7. Seeing how all of that happened well within the timeframe of one another she got a fairly wide exposure to the TAMNI fandom at large.

Still, unless they keep consistently using her in the various media and developing her character, it's unlikely she'll overtake Mikoto in lasting popularity any time soon. Mikoto's had exposure from the start, tsundere attributes, an attraction to the main character, and is shown to be very capable of handling herself, and above all she's had time to grow on fans, more time than Misaki's had. So I think it'll be a while before Misaki is more popular than Mikoto, and only if Kamachi keeps using her like he has with Mikoto.

She will grow more popular than she is atm but Misaki topping Mikoto? I don't see that ever happening. Eventually Misaki will fade back into the background when the story moves in another direction while Mikoto will always be front in center or may become "Tired" as fans want to see others with Mikoto. Especially if they grow restless again over not enough Touma with Mikoto.

That and even though Misaki has grown in popularity so has Mikoto especially with the rise of so much Misaki x Mikoto x Touma or Mikoto x Misaki running around now. So even as Misaki rises she's also helping Mikoto rise even higher by capitalizing on Misaki's new found popularity and adding it to her own through the fanbase including Mikoto along with Misaki and Touma and not just Misaki or Misaki and Touma only. That ad Mikoto is also receiving fan art and the such as well despite her being around for so long.

Misaki also is getting on the "new" tide, due to her anime exposure as well as her currently being in multiple places outside the anime, and her interactions with Mikoto also helped her become more popular to viewers as she's already being connected to the established and well popular Mikoto to the Anime fanbase now while offering a unique personality and rival to Mikoto thus ensuring she could always show up again.

Miraluka

2013-09-11, 18:58

^Its because people growth tired of Mikoto almost inexistent relationship with Touma that Misaki hinted past him with skyrockets her more and more each time she appears to the point that it totally overshadowed her involvement with a new Level 6 project. Just read the threads and lots of speculation.

Destined_Fate

2013-09-11, 19:40

They will come around when the series finally comes to an end. It's foolish of anyone to believe that Touma would get with anyone before the series was coming to an end as the shipping fanbase is extremely profitable if you know how to exploit it. Such as how jjust a few scenes and Touma x Misaki grew in popularity even if it's still far behind Mikoto x Touma as many have accepted already that if Touma would get with anyone it's most likely going to be Mikoto or even Index or he'll be forever alone.

Miraluka

2013-09-11, 19:56

That's why fans wants more of Misaki. Just a few times appearing has been enough to cause the spamming of fanarts, ff and lots of doujin that is getting close to that of Mikoto.

Rising Dragon

2013-09-11, 20:11

If it's still like this a year from now I'll be impressed. Otherwise to me it's just looking like typical ensemble darkhorse behavior from fans; other shows have this one character that is instantly popular for a little while. Yurin L'Ciel of Gundam AGE and Silica of Sword Art Online come to mind, being really popular for a relatively short while despite very, very little screentime. And Misaki fits the same mold.

Goldzero

AFAIK Yurin died and became more of a memory than a character.

Silica? Was she popular? :heh:

Rising Dragon

2013-09-11, 20:28

AFAIK Yurin died and became more of a memory than a character.

Silica? Was she popular? :heh:

Yurin had maybe 15 minutes of screentime total. Some circles raged long until the end of the show that she was a better character than Emily. It was debatable but my point is that there was a much greater interest than normal in a character with very little screentime. Misaki's about the same--very little screen time in only one episode, instantly popular from the get-go with lots of people, and you can bet your ass not all of them had read the novels or the manga to know how big a role she'll have. And alternatively they'll get hyped about her from people who ARE aware of the impact Misaki will have.

But all that still happened in the time frame of the episode's airing and a couple other factors. It's significant but it remains to be seen if her popularity will be as long-lasting as the much-more-present Mikoto.

As for Silica, if we're going by fanart as a measurement of popularity, she gets way more fanart than, say, Lizbeth.

Not at all, this time Misaki is a character that has been hinted since the begin of the novels.

But all that still happened in the time frame of the episode's airing and a couple other factors. It's significant but it remains to be seen if her popularity will be as long-lasting as the much-more-present Mikoto.
The current manga arc has its focus on Misaki.

As for Silica, if we're going by fanart as a measurement of popularity, she gets way more fanart than, say, Lizbeth.
Let's be honest, they aren't characters with potential by the simple fact the author didn't try using them in that light , they're not protagonists nor main characters, a better comparison would have been Suguha.

Anyway, all is up to the author, similar cases are Kaori and Itsuwa that had potential as characters to grow popular but the author's decisions for the following novels switched the focus to other characters... a dissapointment imo.

Even the title character (Index) started like this but the author put her away from focus, locked her in the MC house and became a recurrent character, for worse in the NT series she barely appears (except for the last released volume but she is more a support than a protagonist there).

Bad decisions or bad writing caused by a third party(the editor :uhoh:)? I can't tell myself, but regarding only that, Kawahara Reki kicks Kamachi's ass very hard and I'm not even a SAO or Mahouka fan.

Yes, I'm aware there's been hints very early on, and yes I'm aware she's a major player in the current Railgun manga arc. If you note my earlier post, I pointed that out as one of the factors as to why she had such a sudden growth in popularity.

I'm not discounting any of it. I'm just saying it's too early to tell if she'll have as widespread and as deep a popularity as Mikoto enjoys, simply because Mikoto's had that much longer to gain said fanbase while Misaki hasn't.

And that's why I usually say if th other characters had a constant participation in the series they would be as popular, just look at Accelerator he is on top 3 characters popularity and number of fanarts despite being a male character.

As far as animation is concerned, Accelerator appeared early on with his own major appealing factors, and remained involved in the plot ever since--he had the Sisters Arc, then after Angel Fall he was involved in the Three Stories arc, then again involved in the second season. The same with Mikoto. She's had consistent exposure to the fandom in pretty much every media for the franchise.

Compare that to Misaki, who appeared once in the entirety of Railgun S and won't be seen again until they make a third season of Railgun. As far as the novels go, her involvement is recent. As far as the manga's concerned, her involvement is relatively recent. I'm sure her popularity is guaranteed if she continues being involved in the story from now on, like Mikoto and Accelerator.

Otherwise, my guess is that the popularity will wane a month or two after Railgun S comes to a close and come back if/when a third season is announced.

Miraluka

2013-09-11, 21:11

Uh, that's what I said =__=. Accelerator is popular because he wasn't left on the background after his first relevant participation, unlike... the others mentioned.

All is left to the author at the end.

its funny how not so long ago misakixmikoto was pretty popular but ever since there has been hints(and now a fact) that misaki knew kamijou from the past, this pairing "toumaxmisak"i has already grown very popular and it was the most made doujini pairing this year of raildex. fans have been incredibly excited with this new possible pairing and hope misaki character might be used to give us more information of kamijou past. i can see why misaki character grown popular very fast and it satisfies me how people love her.

Touma x Mikoto x Misaka is the second most made one after that. So even though Misaki has the newness factor and recent hints towards her having some kind of past with Touma no one can say that Mikoto has actually fallen as she's still getting work for her, with Touma, and now with Touma and Misaki.:twitch:

of course toumaxmisaka is still the most popular pair but what im getting at is misakixtouma has rapidly grown a fanbase thanks to the hints so far in ch 62 of railgun and NT7. i see toumaxmisaka pair growing fast as usual.

What everyone characters calling Mikoto:

1. Biri Biri
2. Onee sama
3. Misaka san
4. Railgun
5. Misaka Mikoto (full name)
6. Piri Piri (Note: Misaki calls her Piri Piri when she meets Touma face to face at Daiseisai arc).

There should be more of her nickname.

Even now every character and including most of you users in this forum except Febri still does not call Mikoto just by her first name. What does this mean?

2013-09-12, 00:52

She's very important in the current Railgun manga arc. She's also been in Index a couple of times lately and has been hilarious in all of her scenes. This kind of popularity would not be possible if she had just been in one episode for a minute.
Didn't a lot of the doujins about Misaki came out before her newfound importance in Railgun manga? IIRC there was a few even before the revelation of Exterior.

Draco Spirit

2013-09-12, 07:58

It be interesting if Misaki does keep important to Raildex overall story, but right now it be my best guest that she won't.

Mikoto interesting because she tends to keep semi important in the Index novels, but isn't typically a major focus character. Of course in Railgun she's always important!

Also something I think worth keeping in mind. Look at Index in the Old Testament, she really important at the start, get a bit more backseat in the middle, and becomes really important in the end. Raildex changes focus a lot, characters can become important, background and then important again.

It could be otherwise, though. You wouldn't be surprised if she eventually plays an important role in the future. But still, things can change and anything is plausible until it's proven. So I wouldn't assume she won't.

PS: I personally think Misaki x Mikoto is an ideal yuri pairing. :p

You got reason to be optimistic I guess because it not be the first time in Raildex that a character been introduced late and become a major player in the overall plot if she did! (A certain redshirt level 0 springs to mind)

2013-09-18, 10:45

There's nothing surprising, obscene or unnatural about those. It's something most very rich and influential individuals in the world does. Mikoto is rich, and buying expensive products is natural for wealthy human beings.

Rule #1 in the luxury goods market : rich people tend to buy/consume expensive things regardless of whether the product is really worth that much or not. The Wealthier they are, the more luxury goods with more and more expensive prices they will buy.

This is why most luxury goods, especially cosmetic ones, are sold at a price far superior to their production cost : because that's actually the best way for them to get customers (and profits).

Shinhwa

2013-09-18, 11:06

I actually hope Mikoto gets out of her ojou-sama thing from Tokiwadai and just has a normal high school life later on. Touma's school can help her with that! 8D

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if Mikoto can skip grades. Knowing her intellect and knowledge, I think she can skip a grade or two, unless Academy City disallows that :I

desrtsku

2013-09-18, 11:51

If she were to skip grades, she'd be sent direct to 8th year+ of superior studies, writing thesis and stuffs like that.
Whatever. I don't think skipping grade is allowed in AC, or at least in Tokiwadai : why would they let a level 5 get away from their grasp that easily? The longer she is in, the more satisfied they would be.
Moreover, even if she were to graduate normally from Tokiwadai, the board of directors would never allow a treasured level 5 to waste their potential in a School like Touma's.

Do they honestly still have a hold over what she does anymore? Specially considering shes becoming more aware of the other side of Academy city. They can't exactly strong arm her like they done with the other level fives. She is after all the most publicly pushed example of a level five.

It would actually be a better choice for appearances if she does attend a school like Toumas. Pushing the idea that level Fives are just like any other student. It's not like she needs to be aware of experiments for them to happen. Level 6 project comes to mind. Both of them.

After thinking about it, a Mikoto/Accelerator romance fanfic could be real fun to write from a hurt/comfort angle. Accelerator is so screwed up inside, and Mikoto is likely one of the few people who could really get what the inside of his head like within the whole lonely level 5, guilt complex side of stuff.

Plus I can see Last Order playing matchmaker, I really can. :p

It skips a lot of material but every arc takes forewer to finish (2+ years)
So even with that, if it goes all the way to NT, then it will most likely finish in 10+ years.

Sisters arc ==> Daihaisei arc was a huge skip in my opinion. Maybe either because Mikoto already had huge roles in Index side to the point that it didn't have to be covered again in the Railgun side again, like for example with Etzali and Awaki, although it involved Mikoto mainly, since it was already covered, I guess Kamachi thought it wasn't necessary for it to be covered in the railgun manga again.

Well mostly since if Kamachi were to cover a story that was already shown beforehand in anime and novels in the Index side into the Railgun side again just to keep up the story, it would be waste of chapters and it may be boring to the readers.

But I think too much skipping can really end the series way earlier than the novels.

But if I think about it in another way, it wasn't much of a huge skip because Liberal Arts City arc exists, and minor 1~2 chapter stories still existed before (which of course were sadly covered in the anime early = aka Kongou entry chapters)

So overall it wasn't much of a huge skip in terms of storyline.

From what I see, there is a lot of room for more Mikoto-side of the story after Daihaisei arc. The question is what will they be about and such.

I am more concerned if Railgun will go past NT because Mikoto becomes an active ally in NT, where it will be weird for Railgun to cover the story that came out in NT already @_@;

Loremaster

2013-09-20, 12:51

Well there is always the start of NT. She wasn't really active in NT1 and 2 I think. She was depressed about Touma but their maybe something there. If it comes illogical for railgun manga to continue after that then it could lead to a good finishing story.

The problem with ending Railgun manga, basically means pushing characters like the girls around Mikoto aside. Because they barely have a role in the main arc. They probably find a way to continue it, but when it comes to the time of NT it may focus more on the other girls then Mikoto.

After all the manga was firstly meant to be about Kuroko.

I'm just grasping at straws here.

Birdway

Any story that was published on manga or light novel version is likely to be skipped.

Covered arcs so far.

Before and some of Vol.1.
Vol.3

Skipped arcs so far:

August 31th(Vol.5).
September 1st(Vol.6)
September 15th(Vol.8)
Daihasesai's first day(Vol.9+10)

Judging by this I can pretty much guess the next story that is likely to be skipped is Vol.12 and 13.

By that time there will be a new arc and then it will play a parallel to Vol.14 that will end with Vol.16 little meet.

Of course the chance for that happening is very, very low so I guess the most probably option will be a parallel story to Vol.15's events.

Shinhwa

2013-09-20, 19:48

chaosprophet

2013-09-21, 21:39

I personally would prefer for it to skip all the way to near latest NT. Because the later an arc is, the more likely it can bring us something new that could be of real consequence to the story. As the novel is a lot ahead and Mikoto appears on it from time to time, and more since NT, there is so much you can develop her without contradict what have been already written.

If Kamachi were to skip that much then Railgun would have to end more quicker than the novel =A=
Why so? As some mentioned before the manga have a much slower pace. The novel does one arc in one volume, the longest ones in 3. While he releases 3-4 volumes a year. While the manga take 1,5 - 2 years to do each arc so far.

If the manga keep being a lot behind then I think it's more likely it will end soon, as there is so much they can tell on it, so it may end and just let the novel tell the rest of the story.

It be curious to see what kind of effect dating Touma would have on Mikoto in honesty. Touma has a natural (possibly supernatural) ability to find girls in distress. He then saves them and a lot of them find that attractive for some reason ;) Which is something that would likely grate on Mikoto's nerves and her fondness for electricity.

On the flip side, Touma lives a rather humble lifestyle and is mostly electric proof. The first point give Mikoto many opportunities to indulge in her kinder side and show off. The second is the main reason she likely attracted to him in the first place, she got bucket loads of destructive power which (and this is the important bit) she can't completely control... but Touma can handle her and all her destructive power, which few can.

And it seems Mikoto has got a inner fear about hurting people who get close to her, heck I suspect its why Koroko hates to seem weak around her, she trying to prove to her Onee-sama that she can "handle" her and will be strong for her no matter what.

But anyway, returning to Mikoto/Touma, it be interesting if her temper would cool or grow if she did get into relationship with Touma.

Thoughts?

If Mikoto doesn't get biribiri too easily and was able to be honest with her feelings, then I think her issue can be solved kind of.

...That would most likely horrify me. Don't get me wrong, but I feel like SAO's romance was quite clichéd and felt more like a forced romance to me than a natural one. Though I did not read the SAO novels yet, so my opinion on their romance only applies to what I've seen in the anime version.

Regardless of SAO, I think that the interactions between the both of them are good enough as they're is. It makes it all the more enjoyable to me, but I guess I wouldn't refuse some dere Misaka once in a while.

...Wait, that has nothing to do with my tsundere fetish :heh:

shit art online was terrible but i did consider kiroto to be likable at first but sadly the romance part ruined it and kiroto went downhill from likable to unbearable in my opinion. if only he had sticked with the guy he hanged in episode one since klaude was the most interesting one in my opinion.

Shinhwa

2013-09-23, 23:48

I swear the Kirito x Asuna which go "I WANNA MARRY THE REAL YOU AND BLAH BLAH BLAH ***" annoyed the hell out of me. Not to mention all the other girls who fell in love with Kirito got shunned off because of that. If I compare SAO and Index/Railgun in romance factor, Index/Railgun wins in that department for sure =A=

When romance and pairing come like right off the bat, I tend to dislike the series unless the story itself is good.

At least Index/Railgun is taking a slow pace and isn't really promoting the romance that much...

Although I do wish Mikoto x Touma happened more interactively...

Touma is ignorant when he isn't troubled 99% of the time... and emotional/kind when he is heartbroken 1% of the time.... so I don't see how that could happen except at maybe 0.5% of the time which isn't so bad really...

Shinhwa

2013-09-24, 09:30

I don't get it why compare Raildex with SAO, which the latter isn't a romcom at all. I find that comparison silly. Any series with romcom genre in it tend to have a steady progression in relationship development. Series like SAO, on the other hand, things might have spontaneously and somewhat unpredictable, even in romance.

Anyway, for Mikoto, the tsundere maiden needs to be more dere than tsun. Cause more dere >> more tsun. In fact, I usually favor Type-B tsundere. :p

By the way, I heard the conversation that To Aru Kagaku was supposed to be made for Kuroko. But why Mikoto was chosen instead?

Hyper Biribiri Tsundere Mikoto!

And as for why Railgun had Mikoto as protagonist instead of Kuroko is because the editor said "NO" towards the Kuroko series where Kamachi had to start from scratch ground up after it got rejected.

I am glad it was rejected...

Ilidsor

Although it could be intentional for backing Mikoto to get closer to Touma, the protagonist of Index.

Well the Editor was the one who requested that Kamachi focus more on Mikoto. Even before Railgun manga came out.

That's a great combo... Bad if it was the other way around. :heh:

That's why you must pick the right people when working as a team XD

I wouldn't have minded a Kuroko story. I only dislike her because of Railgun I and that probably would have been a lot different if she was the main character. I mean I prefer the Misaka-focused story but I'm just saying it wouldn't have been bad to have a Kuroko one.

Kuroko... well after seeing her own arc one time in Index and such... I really don't think she is a protagonist-material...

Least it suggested that Kuroko likely got more back-story then has been told so far.... through I can why they went with Mikoto, it far easier to sell a kind but troubled female genius with a temper and lightning than a somewhat crazy yuri teleporter with a good heart to girls (the main target group with Railgun).

Same... I liked her a lot in Index... but the movie meh... railgun meh... though Index movie Kuroko follows after the railgun kuroko...

She really could have been a great character, before she became an element that existed literally to represent perversion... and to act as fan-service that tends to detract from the plot... *sigh*

What wasted potential... no wonder Kamachi had to include other people with similar powers to her...

Also, the editor makes good choices, Kamachi makes better choices... the people criticizing Kamachi seem to forget that he does write this series and that in interviews the editor literally says that except very very rarely he just doesn't tell Kamachi anything and Kamachi writes everything. At the beginning, Kamachi just didn't have as much trust I'm guessing from his editor to do what he willed... That IMO was the real problem.

The first session certainly overplayed the fanservice comedy elements of her character, but I think Railgun S got the balance way better and we got to see her being concerned and worried, as well being perverted! ;)

Overall, she is interesting character, because she's a heroic character, brave, assertive and with a strong sense of justice. but has the logical flipside negatives of those strengths in that she impulsive and bossy, with her friendship/romance with Mikoto showing that having a bold friend who fancy you can be a real pain!

She also works great as a foil for Mikoto, giving Mikoto opportunity to show both her more delicate and immature sides.

Making Mikoto the main character was certainly the better move IMHO, she easer for the (primary) female viewers to get into the shoes of, while Koroko works better as a henchwoman.

The problem is that it made absolutely no sense for Misaka to just let the bad guys stick some mystery liquid into her body. Especially since these people have tried to kill her before. She had a sound mind and body at the time too so it can't be explained by emotional reasoning, and it wasn't her first every tense situation so it can't be blamed on lack of experience.

I've gone over this many times so I really don't see how you don't know what I'm taking about.

I know that. That's what I'm complaining about, the fact that they handled the character so badly.

I seriously hope no filler arc will exist in Railgun season 3... If they do Liberal Art City arc => Daihaisei Arc in season 3, things will be perfect.

That is unlikely. It's just not his style.

That's hilarious. When I first saw that title, I assumed it was something completely different at first but it still works. :heh:

Ouch... :heh:

Lolololololol.

I see a lot more valid reasons as to why it made no sense that I was completely ignoring :heh:

I didn't think about some of those arcs.... Hmmm.... That's true... though in the end, Kamachi is amazing at fixing any seeming plot discontinuity that could occur... so I'm still sure at least that Kamachi could make it work if he had to... Anyway, I guess we must now start considering (most of) the anime as an alternate universe? (the background music though can accompany their actions in real life it would sound cool after all :heh: ) :heh: Or we could just remember the good parts of it that make sense and ignore everything else... but I would like to say that in the end... I actually agreed with a lot of the concerns above... but I still liked the material because of the good parts outweighing the rest and being able to see the characters animated? Anyway, out of context, I don't think the arc was that bad... it was really only bad in context... looking at all the points made about Cloverfield :heh:

After reading the page in question, I find I'm agreeing with the vast majority of the points :heh:

Or rather for me, I'm baffled that this is actually a "thing" in the toaru wikia site :twitch:

They pretty much got everything. Was surprised, too. Only had it pointed out today by the internet.

First of all, yes it can: Just because you've been in tense situations before doesn't mean you now how to approach all of them.

And secondly, Misaka knew it wouldn't kill her because she trusts Shinobu's judgement. If there really was a risk that it could kill her then Shinobu wouldn't have done it.

I think she's learned enough to know not to let people who have tried to kill you insert mystery poisons into her veins. That seems like pretty basic stuff.

What is Shinobu suddenly a mind reader? Shinobu knew exactly as much about Misaka did about what it was. Nothing.

Attack =/= Kill

I would expect that Shinobu would have picked up what her "employer" was like in the time she worked for STUDY.

So he was trying to have that powered suit knock her out gently?

If that's true then she would also have known Aritomi wasn't going to give over the "cure" after it was done.

Perhaps you should open your eyes and notice that they were collecting data on her?

If that's true then she would also have known Aritomi wasn't going to give over the "cure" after it was done.

And what could Shinnobu have done in her position? You tell me, and don't bother with your unrealistic scenarios.
