i understand that touma has a few railgun haters but please don't start a argument, i also don't understand why you despise him so much seeing as how hes done noting but saved lives and putting his own at risk i mean i know hes a little preachy which caused him to be somewhat infamous with the fandom (another way of putting it is he is disliked by some of the fandom but note: he is extremely popular so it doesn't seem to affect his popularity much) i support kurokoxmikoto too but it annoys me that fans tend to go all out war against other characters that they don't like shipping with or despise for incredibly lame reasons but its not that surprising if you search around the website you see a few railgun touma haters but lets not forget some people watches railgun because of the lack of touma(though im pretty sure they are mostly yuri fans who ship mikoto and i notice kuroko fans don't take a liking to touma and a number of mikoto fans as well).

I admit I'm a Kuroko fan but I don't dislike Touma for that reason. I dislike Harem genre protagonists in general except for Hayate and Keima and Touma especially is...
nevermind, as you said I don't want to start an argument.
My only point is that Railgun is supposed to be the side adventures. Touma's busy with other stuff while it's happening and forcing his presence in there just for shippy moments is silly. This is the only time Saten and Uiharu and Kuroko get some limelight and I enjoy that.

well im just glad you are not gonna start an argument with me either i can tell your pretty much friendly but i can see why you dislike kamijou because he is a harem lead protagonist and especially since he has the biggest harem and does noting with it note: he is completely busy saving the world constantly everyday which is the problem why he doesn't notice their affection for him which is one of the problem but i have to admit thats the creator fault but personally i just ignore the harem because i enjoy kamijou allot even in the anime version but it be difficult to want touma out of railgun seeing as how allot if not most railgun fans like, respect, enjoy, or a fan of touma, and his camoa are only their for comic reliefs and those who ship toumaxmisaka and lol to tell you the truth toumaxsaten has quite a popularity in shipping too which i been told not sure but stated in tv trope as well so people would love him to meet saten as well but i think that be somewhat bad if she had an affection for him with all the uhiaruxsaten shippers but overall try to give touma a second try and just rewatch index and ignore the harem you well see hes a pretty enjoyable character to watch so just take that into consideration. and thanks again for not starting an agruement.

your comment is pretty thrown out of order.....,
i hardly grasp the meaning for a while

Filler episodes is what made the series better since it brought a lot more character development.

[Marcus H.]

Touma especially is...

What? What makes you think that Touma's "that"?

That's my point. I don't ship Touma and Misaka so i don't want those moments.

If you're really indifferent of the ToumaxMisaka moments, you'd be alright with those moments. You don't need to be a shipper to enjoy those moments.

[tsunade666]

I also don't ship for Touma and Mikoto. heck I don't ship Touma to anyone at all. Though the only girl I will probably accept is Index because Index know Touma more than anyone but I also don't ship her for romance purpose because romance between Touma and Index are way past that point. They act naturally together.

I don't ship anyone in 3 heroes of index franchise because romance here would ruin the adventure (for me) that's why there are fan fics for those though the fics for index are lacking.

index the character or index the anime because pretty much all tamni fan fiction are toumaxmisaka and there are quite a number of them but overall i never really cared to much for shippings anyway either but only toumaxmisaka and kurokoxmisaka and maybe toumaxitsuwa seems to be the only characters i ship with in all anime,LN, and manga but don't get me wrong even though i ship them even i don't care much for the shippings becuase i just enjoy touma presence in anywhere.

No no no no no.

Filler episodes destroyed half the show. They somehow made Kuroko even more annoying than in the manga and light novels. That's quite an achievement.

Stick to the manga, and we're golden. Judging by that PV though, I am not so sure that's what is going to happen though...

Index is definitely better than railgun, but I hope railgun S2 can avoid the mistakes of the previous anime which dragged it down considerably.

well i believe it depends on matter of taste i think probably half the fans in railgun enjoy the fillers while the other half prefer the canon version more but overall its down to a matter of personal taste but i do have to admit one thing only thing that bugs me with kuroko is her constant one-sama needs which kinda pisses me of even though i ship them.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm super suprise to hear you say that

I'm talking about Index and Touma's relationship so of course I'm talking about Index librorium prohibitorium. Index and Touma's relationship can't be called lovers at all because its way past that relationship and its a different type or relationship at all.

Though I don't understand why people had problems with railgun S2 having anime fillers. Its like a given fact already because railgun anime is a slice of life anime

lol i don't mind with the fillers too much as long as it can show touma dominate accelerator(im a huge fan of accelerator so don't get the wrong idea) im just worried they be taking away more of touma screen time like how they did it in railgun season 1 when they reduce it as much as possible and i can tell some were complaining about that too as well but personally i bet those who are complaining just want the main plot instead of fillers.

[whitecloud]

well for fillers there are many side stories that can be used from ss rather than anime original content, russia, and studio just some of the example, if they want more chara appearance..saten, kuroko, and others have nice role in those

I prefer railgun over index. While I did enjoy the action more, index just had too many things going on sometimes. Railgun focused more on the character development which strengthen the storyline and resolve. This made the action sequences a lot more meaningful than just having Touma giving a rant and punching the bad guy at end, then rinse and repeat.

If we get the scenes with Touma and Accelarator fighting against each other, would they be exactly like how it happened in Index II? It wouldn't make sense if the fight was completely different from Index II. I'm not asking if it's going to be the same animation sequence being re-used or shot at different angles, I'm asking if the fight scenes would be just like how they happened in Index II.

The cool thing is that we will see from Misaka's perspective.

you mean index 1 right? well i just hope they re edited some of the scenes afterall in railgun manga version was more epic then the way it happened in the index anime version.

Oh, and if the series sells 20k+ units again, I imagine we'll get a season 3 in a few years. I highly doubt the production company hates making money.

i forgotten how much did the index series sell again was it 20k+ in both series im not sure but if anyone can tell me i hope they at least sold almost as well as railgun.

To be honest that's the only good thing fillers do, if done right. Maybe a filler episode after a serious arc ends to lighten the mood a little would be good once in a while. I just hope they don't put any unnecessary filler content in the episodes to extend an arc longer than it should be. Like with what they're doing with Naruto Shippuden anime.

Index 1 : 10~12k
Index II : 16k
Railgun : 24k

Even though it's already awesome, I won't be satisfied with it selling just 20k+ though, after what happened last year I mean.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Exceptions aside, second seasons tend to sell less, so 20k sounds about right...

Oh and Index II averages around 17k+.

[Sumeragi]

It's Railgun. I expect 20,000+.
