I'm late oh well. Happy No shave november then. Hawww.
So, since the fall season of anime started, I've started watching A Certain Scientific Railgun. As I was watching, I got tired of having to wait a week (and it's only been five weeks) so I tried to do some research. Well, the wiki page that came up for it was A Certain Magical Index (or something like that), and there wasn't actually a page for Railgun. Turns out, the one I'm watching is a spin off of magical Index.
Facepalm, facepalm.
Anyway, I started watching Index, and it's alright. I like Railgun better, though. Probably because I started it first and am more.. used to it? Plus it has female lead characters instead of the male lead.
I wonder if I would have watched them if it were the other way around, though. I mean, Magical Index, as I've been watching it... The guy isn't very cute. He's kind of interesting, and can be sometimes, but is kind of eh. It has at least one type of character I dislike (the guy with long, red hair, who smokes, and reminds me a lot of Gokudera/whateverhisrebornnameis. I could swear his hair was red when I was reading it but it turned out to be silver, wtf?). Those types of guys piss me off.
And. I don't like how Magical Index has gone from having espers, to having magicians who have something to do with religion, to having vampires, and god knows what else is around the corner. I kind of want to draw the line at vampires, but it's only a 24 episode anime. I can last. Still, really? Shows that have to do with supernatural stuff don't have to include every type of supernatural thing.
Railgun is really good, though. The characters are cute, and it's interesting to see what I guess is yuri for a change. And the story hasn't gotten to the point where Index even starts, so I don't even have to deal with the magicians yet! Hooray! Railgun for the win.
