Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

[Longbowwing]

this series is a parallel story to previous title --> Toaru Majutsu no Index

this series will be base on Misaka Mikoto, a level 5 esper who can manipulate her tesla power to fire off an extreme dangerous and powerful railgun.

It will air at October 2009

Honestly, I expect a more like Season 2 of Toaru Majutsu no Index. Instead of story that focus on Misaka Mikoto. It is not that I dont like her at all, it is just that she is powerful enough, what else can they talk about her?

So ok after watching a few episode, the developer did a good job to show how many different espers there is in the academy city.

Also I am so interest to see the development between Misaka Mikoto and Touma and more of their power battles in the upcoming future.

I am also looking foward to the plot and direction things will take as this anime unwinds itself. I get the feeling it may intwine it self into even more unanswered questions. Religion vs technolgy and the combining of both with a little romance and reverse harem thing going for it to boot..

I dont think we will see Index in this series.

The urban legend in the academy city may as well as stay unanswered.

Kuroko also mentioned the update system to keep track each esper's power level is a perfect system so it should never have any mis-information. So I dont think they will give us the answer for why there are incorrect info in the update system.

This anime really blindsided me. I mean just looking at the ho-hum character arts, I wasn't expecting much from this to be honest, but to my surprise it's actually quite good.

I was also expecting the main character Touma, to be an annoying anime archetype in the vein of Naruto or someone very preachy, but he turns out to be real nice, sound and good natured without being cliche. His actions and reasons for them comes out naturally, and it is something that I can surely empathize with, because of that, you find yourself rooting for him. I specially like his exchanges with 2 of Index's friend, his reasoning there raises my esteem for him. I don't know if it is good writing or just good subbing, but the way he speaks and his judgement are very well thought out, which I really like in a character.

I almost forgot about Accelerator. Boy was I pissing mad, concerning this guy, he really comes out as a jerk. Turns out that he has some goodness left in him. I really love the way they handled the episode, it let you think things through from his perspective, without being spoonfed some banalities that make you cringe or being to much in-your-face that it leaves wondering to yourself, you couldn't be that dumb. It shows impressive direction for this anime, unlike some of the more run-in-the-mill Shounen types out there.

Though I won't watch season 2 until it is finish, here's hoping that it won't fall on the same trap as Shakugan no Shana did, which instead of building on the previous one, it faltered in its momentum.
