To aru majutsu no index

Holy shit, what is up with this show? I'm four episodes in and it's like somebody accidentally bumped the DORAMA intensity dial up to 7000% and then just left it there. Should I expect them to be dramatically shouting semi-coherent monologues at each other for the rest of the series?

Touma's shtick is talking at his opponent until they lose their resolve and taking the opportunity to punch them in the face.

Touma is basically one of those protagonists who would prefer to talk things out rather than resort to violence, but his charisma stat isn't high enough and he's too much of a pragmatist.

Watch Railgun instead, 700x times as good.

You're going to love the last episodes of Index II.

This. Misaka is so cute, especially when she becomes the damsel in distress and Touma comes to save her.

You sound new to anime. Are you?

Also, is it me or have I seen this exact same post before?

Seems like you're not living your life correctly.

If your trying imply that dramatic shouting of poorly written dialogue is not unique to this particular tile, well, sure. That said, I've watched a lot of anime and I don't think I've ever seen one trying so damn hard to repeatedly go from 0 to 60 in so short a time. Maybe because i generally try to avoid shounen shit? Still, I don't really think that's the issue.

I wouldn't be surprised if you've seen this sort of thread before; the issue lies with the work, not the audience.

Well, fuck. Didn't need an anime to tell me that.

I don't remember much of that. Maybe early OT is so far behind me that I can only remember the memes that came out of it.

We need more half cut jeans in chinese cartoons.

That's just the beginning of Kamachi's wild ride. The moment you realize you'll be dealing with thousands of worlds filled with despair and a billion degenerates.

Remember when Styil and Kanzaki were recurring characters?

>Should I expect them to be dramatically shouting semi-coherent monologues at each other for the rest of the series?

Yes, since the over-the-top meta commentary and ridiculous banter are the primary reasons people stick with it so long through so many ups and downs. Despite everything else, the characters grow on you and are always entertaining.

>characters grow on you and are always entertaining.

Except fucking Index. Thank god she was relegated to a background character.

"background character" implies she is even in the background.

>meta commentary

needs more Touman.

>damsel in distress
And there we go again, fucking patriarchy.

Episode 7 and now we're doing monster-of-the-week BS? And the tone of this show is all over the fucking place. Slapstick one minute, melodrama the next. I want to like this, but I'm not sure I can deal with how schizophrenic it is: It's like the show has no idea what direction it wants to go so it's decided to go in all of them at once.

>Railgun
Fuck off

It's decent until Mikoto turns into a sobbing mess and gets rescued by Prince Touma

That's the worst arc. Don't worry, the best arc of S1 comes after that.

>animefriends will never see Touma choke Izzard to death

It was either that or suicide.

Read the LNs. Misaka saves Touma more than a few times aswell, but for some people people don't hate on that as much as him saving her.
It's actually told FAR better in railgun S. Still entertaining though.

>animefriends will never see anything of the post vol 13 craziness because S3 never

Believe it or not, the author knew exactly how he wanted it to go, even teased shit we see now in recent volumes with the early volumes

>NT7
>Not the kind of meta shit you'd expect Nisio to write

>Animefriends will never see Touma become more insane than Accel

>Animefriends will never see the "it bothers me"

It's garbage that only spics and SEAmonkeys love. Drop it and watch better anime.

What the fuck is a seamonkey

south east asia monkeys, user is a kkkfag

I found it extremely boring

Welcome to 2009. Come back after the 3rd arc and ask how to kill Accelerator for the full experience.

It's shit. That's what's up with it.

Yes. Yes you should
