Plus, it leaves most of the older characters as background decoration and ends openly at a point that is almost a major cliffhanger. It is considered far more enjoyable that Toaru 1 but still has zero story to tell.- Toaru 2 does a much better job at having a better overall plot but then again the transition from one segment to another happens in a rushed and poor way that confuses anyone not aware of the novels. Railgun 1 was just a storyless spin-off just for kicks, done to please the Misaka fans / Index haters.
#A CERTAIN MAGICAL INDEX SERIES#
Some excuse it as the introduction to the setting and the cast but story-wise it is still pretty much a disjoined series of almost stand-alone missions. Here is a breakdown of what is out so far.- Toaru 1 had little to no overall plot amongst its story arcs. It is just typical speeches around superficial morality, and macho one-liners. As in all shonen, they are talking a lot during battles and the context of whatever they say is not deep philosophy or the fringe science of superpowers. It is still to the most part improbable physics canceled with a broken power. Some love how the author put a lot of work in order to explain the various magical and scientific powers that many characters possess, but it’s not like that makes the actual story any more creditable. Despite the variety in themes and special abilities but, seriously, the scriptwriter hardly tried to offer anything more than the basics. There is a world where magic and science are at war and there is a lot of technobabbling offered in an attempt to make all that seem plausible, but by the end of the day it is nothing more than some teenagers fighting with superpowers. SCRIPT The story feels great on paper but plays out quite average on screen, to the point it doesn’t really stand out in any special way.

It doesn’t fair much next to the higher ups such as One Piece or Full Metal Alchemist but at least has a nice way to show everything… half of the time. PROPER MINDSET The Toaru trilogy is a typical shonen adventure with a nice presentation.

I’m not willing to make different reviews around the same setting. NOTICE Consider this a review of all 4 Toaru seasons that are out so far. That's all i had to say.If there is ever a 3rd way better season i'll gladly come back to watch it and wash off the disapointment of this one. Now what they did to make this one better beggars belief.They threw all of the good stuff from season 1 to the basket.Creativity has fallen down the stairs,the MC now finds the hidden pleasures of punching women to the ground.And the worst?They got rid of the comical stuff that made the 1st one such a giggle and went.Well they went down the Ecchi avenue.This now has more panty-nude shots than a Paris Hilton family film.I wouldn't have a single problem if this was an ecchi anime to begin with.I would know what i was getting into,i would know what to expect.But now it's like going out for dinner in a fancy restaurant and ordering hot dogs and burgers.This also has an after effect.Cause in the 1st season every bad aspect was hidden beneath a layer of creative trickery.Now all is bare for all to see.The annoying long and out of place speeches of Srgnt Touma while for example his mate is on the floor bleeding,holding his intestines.Touma goes on forever ignoring the screams of agony of his fellow partner to make the bad girl(who he later punches repeatedly)change her ways and see the light.The interaction between the characters is now gone too.It has become very Touma centered.I can't even remember Index having any screen time.īut not all is lost.In the 2nd half it seems to pick pace and we get to see Accelerator again,giving us some quality time away from Touma's rather infuriating instances.Īnimation.I noticed many times that movements in battles have become a lot jerky.It started at some point to become wearisome.Soundwise no probs there. The answer is yes and no.You see the 1st one,for me at least,was a very enjoyable anime.You had the casual MC meets girl-girl into trouble-MC finds out what the hell is going on-gives a massive speech about what is wrong and what is right-saves the girl punching his way out of the problem and in between you had the rather brilliant unravel of Science and Religion sides combined with some hillarious character interactions. Welcome everyone to the sophomore season of To Aru Index.If u are here then u know the story already so let's not waste time explaining what,who,when,where.All i care about and what u should also care about is.Is this 2nd attempt worth your while.
