They're pretty shit.

expect awesome shit and lolis

Just watch Railgun instead, that is all.

Skip Railgun

You'll wish you've never watched Index.

Rewatch Himegami episodes for more Himegami

i would not recommend either too much...but if i had to chose one i would go with windex. i tried to stomach railgun....not so well.

Skip Index, it's pretty shitty.

save yourself the pain of kuroko's vice and constant filler.

0/10, troll harder friend.

DAT VOICE

Only watch Index don't bother with railshit.

Well at least you're doing it right, that's a start. Expect Index to have lots of action, lots of talking and lots of hot bitches (lolis included). And Accelerator. Be prepared to be forced to watch scenes (sometimes episodes) more than once, the pace is often way too fast so there's a good chance you'll miss something important.

Expect Railgun to have considerably less action, considerably more lesbianism and lots of hot bitches (no lolis ;_;). And Saten, too much of her. Be prepared to be bored out of your skull during the second half where they focus on unimportant side characters and pointless moeness.

Did the same thin yesterday, marathoned Index and am now on Railgun

Also watch the specials, OP.

>>39328356
>And Saten, too much of her
Yes that was the worst part of Railgun, I fucking hate Saten.

>People recommending Index over Railgun
>Implying Religion > Science

>>39328216
Too bad she turned into a snake bitch

>>39328337

You don't have to like Railgun to know Index is a shit anime.

Biribiri is delicious.

>>39328356
> no lolis ;_;
Somebody would like a word with you...

Watch some 3/4 episodes of Railgun first, if you like it, finish it. If you dont, start watching Index.

>>39328384
>implying index doesn't have science arcs

>>39328384
But all of the science is in Index, Railgun doesn't explain shit.

>>39328384
but Index was all about beating the shit out of Relgion

>>39328425
>religion makes for some damn good fiction.

prepare to fall in love with Saten

>>39328413

>Implying loli nun and Misaka, that represents demonic pigs being sent over a cliff, doesn't shit all over it

>>39328425
The best part about the magic side is the quthor did quite a bit of research into religious history, both inside and outside of Japan.
>mfw the Amakusa actually existed in Edo Japan

>>39328384

Index has both the science and religion.
What does Failgun has? Moeshit and fillertrash.

>>39328464
Saten loves you too.

>>39328373
I thought it was hilarious how JC Staff tried making her the most "reasonable" one even though she whined about not being esper for basically the entire series.

Also what the fuck was their deal with Uiharu? They pretty much ruined her character in the last arc.

FUCKING RAILGUN!
Watch it.

>>39328252
I love how that gets replies every time I post it.

If you like shounen, watch Index.
If you like cute girls doing cute stuff with some action from time to time watch Railgun.
I like both.

If you're going to marathon them, watch Index first, then Railgun. In order to get accuainted with the characters.

>>39328506
HNNNNNNGG!! So.... MOE!!!

>>39328494
what

>>39328356

there was never enough Saten

>>39328425
>religion makes for good fiction
This /a/non has been promoted.

>>39328531
There, thread over, stop trolling eachother.

Sorry OP, but the average in japan is 5.1 inches, while americans are a tiny 5.0 inches on average.


ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

>>39328495
The Author knows about religion WAY more than I do and I have been studying in a religion oriented academy for years.

>>39328495

And at least they actually know some of the science they are messing around. They gave an interesting view on the science side of the story in combination with the espers ability

watch railgun first, it serves as a kind of explanation as to why miska's personality was more mature in the middle of index than at the beginning. its a kindof prologue i feel.

also index had pretty inconsistent pacing and terrible walls of text of stupid magic shit the first half of the series. you will most likely want to quit. but if you watch railgun first then it helps ease the pain of enduring it.

>>39328825

GET OUT!
I liked that as well...

1. Railgun 1-12
2. Index
3. Continue Railgun.

That's how I watched it over a period of 7 days. I enjoyed it alot.

Just sayin'.

Index was so confusing as fuck at some times, perhaps because I just didn't have any motivation in trying to understand anyway.

>>39328531

They're both shounen.

>>39329268
That sounds... interesting? I don't know if I'd have been able to watch it like that

Railgun - "Frailty, thy name is woman" (aka YuriSHIT)
Index - "Words, words, words."

>>39331639
>"Frailty, thy name is woman" (aka YuriSHIT)
but hamlet was calling his mother a slut.

>>39331716

Sorry, couldn't think of a Shakespeare quote that is aimed directly at yuri.

>>39331113
Yeah, like I said earlier today, there's a good chance you'll need to re-watch whole scenes or episodes. The unfortunately horribly fast pacing means you have to always be paying attention so that something important doesn't pass you by. Also reading the novels helps A LOT, everything is always explained in a lot more detail there.

>>39331758
It all seemed pretty straight-forward to me, I'm not really sure what you would find confusing in index. Or were you confused about the "personal reality" explanations they had in class?

Both are good. However, the common reaction on /a/ while Index was airing was "Wall of text: the anime." I'm serious, the amount of dialogue in that show just explaining shit is absurd.
At least the show has a lot of content, it's not like they waste time.

>>39331829
Oh no, I understood it all, I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if somebody else had trouble. Plus there's a lot of things you probably think you understand but when you sit down for a minute you realise you actually don't. For instance, explain to me your take on how ESPers themselves work, I'd like to see if other people are on the same track as I am.

>>39331843

Maybe I'm just numbed to it from watching Bake/Katanagatari, but I'm currently marathoning Index not unlike OP (on episode 15) and I haven't noticed anything even remotely "words words words."

>>39332049
There is a lot of dialogue in Index, that's a fact, the thing is you don't always notice because more interesting things are usually happening at the same time.

>>39331757

you called?

>>39331945
Well, it's been a while since I watched it, so all I remember is talk of Schrodinger's cat, personal reality and AIM fields. I just don't remember having to rewatch any parts of the show when I was watching index.

And I really liked Touma.

>>39332165
I also wasn't disturbed by the 'wall of text' these people are talking about. Brofist for liking TouMAN, I like your taste

For Heaven's sake, READ Railgun! Don't subject yourself to the anime.

>>39332222

THE TOU-MAN

>>39332275
Yeah the manga is way superior.

>Implying the second half of railgun is filler.

>>39332439

Only the poltergeist part is not filler at all.

>>39332165
You see? You understood it contextually but you didn't REALLY understand it.

Basically ESPers in Index are people with the ability to distort reality. This is done quite simply by convincing yourself that what you can do is far more than what you are actually capable of. This is an incredibly difficult thing for human beings, creatures defined by logic and reason, but abilities are discovered through the aid of drugs and hypnosis. Once the abilities are found it's much easier for the ESPer to believe that they are capable of distorting reality and can possibly replicate the results without the need for drugs or hypnosis. The Schrodinger's cat thing was used to explain that an ESPer can effectively choose a reality that shouldn't exist, ESPer's in a way disproves his theory.

Do you get my point yet? I could keep going you know.

>>39332494

What's not to get? That's not confusing at all.

I used to have such an awesome image of Touma while I was watching Railgun. Then came Index, in which he bitched against every enemy about how they were wrong.
Also, pathetic fist fights.

>>39332494
The show didn't explain half of that, most of that is constructed through my own comprehension.

>>39332652
Oops, wrong post
>>39332523

>>39328253
delicious ookami-san narrator

also, OP, I watched Railgun already, and now i'm watching index :P

>>39332652

No, it pretty much said that word-for-word. In fact, I just watched the episodes where that was said like.. an hour ago. That loli teacher said pretty much exactly that. Episodes 12-13 I think.
