Anime Alan
finally starting the “A Certain _____” series!
decided to go for the release order as the watch order
excited to see what the famous #anime is all about!
halfway through, and ‘A Certain Magical Index’ is definitely one of the more “ANIME” anime I’ve watched in a while
Halfway through the “A Certain” / Toaru franchise. It’s enjoyable but pretty mediocre so far!
Hopefully the later seasons have more world-building and chatacter development.
#anime #AnimeReview #ACertainMagicalIndex #ACertainScientificRailgun
hold up, A Certain Scientific Railgun S’s first OP is also a banger
Railgun S OP/Opening「Sister noise」fripSide
so I’m watching #ACertainMagicalIndex and #ACertainScientificRailgun in the release order (ya know, how they actually made it)
and dear god, look at how the audience would have to sequence them to make the plot be chronological!
i’ll take “how not to sequence interleaving concurrent narratives from multiple perspectives for 400”, Trebek.
#ACertainScientificAccelerator missed a huge opportunity by not spending more time with… ya know… Accelerator:
- has a battery that can run out, but they only used that tension device like 3 times.
- is recovering from the physical & emotional injuries of no longer being the #1 esper, and re-negotiating his god complex
- has a difficult relationship with his previous victims, the Sisters—resentment, guilt, responsibility
Instead, Accelerator is a typical overpowered protagonist who rescues the helpless women around him. 
Such a waste of potential!
#ACertainMagicalIndex Season 3 had an astounding decline in quality level over the course of the season. Wow. Just a nonstop shark-jumping marathon of a plot, with decreasing production value. 
rough stuff
i am happy to report that #ACertainScientificRailgun T—the latest season—starts off with great production value. Check out the gorgeous OP which they play at the end of ep1!

The OP legit made me excited for this season. Hopefully Railgun’s moe+slice-of-life focus allows them to tell a better story, and keep the quality high!
A Certain Scientific Railgun T Opening 1 | Creditless (1080p)
this series has been so absurd that i’m barely phased that #ACertainScientificRailgun T jumped the shark and became some kind of evangelion/kaiju monologue-laden fight show.
brain off, nonsense on 
at least the first cour was reasonable
and there wasn’t an awful drop in production value either! on the whole not a bad entry in the Toaru series at all
