i have never clicked so fast, this is my favorite series
Same bro

totally same bro
Certainly same bro
I think the playlist you watched has the OPs in chronological order of the story, instead of release date. Index is the actual main show, it's about science/esp versus religion/magic. Railgun is a spinoff about the electric girl with the coin, a popular side character from index. And Accelerator is a spinoff about the guy with the earpiece and crutch, a popular villain turned anti-hero from index (hence the more gruesome imagery in that OP). Hope that clears it up a little haha.
it's better this way. maybe index season 1 openings being before railgun season 1 openings for clarity.
nah wtf this ain't chronological at all lmao season 2 index after accelerator and season 2 railgun? y'all outta control.
@@humanoidfrog4645 well that is the chronological order since accelerator happens after season 2 of railgun and before season 2 of index
@@humanoidfrog4645 Accelerator and Railgun 2 story timeline is before Index; the most obvious indication is that the Academy City Sport Festival on Index 2 take place after the timeline of the Accelerator and Railgun 2 stories.
@@MarineRX179 oh mb then but this order is very scuffed. The fact that index kept being so late didn't help him understand it at all. Also funny how the imaginary fest openings were earlier than the second opening of railgun
Long story short with no spoilers, there are 3 separate but related "A Certain" (aka Toaru) series - Magical Index, Scientific Railgun, and Scientific Accelerator. You'll see a lot of familiar characters cross over between them, but each series focuses primarily on a different character or group.
There is a very general Magic vs Science theme, with lots of different powers. Openings definitely looked out of order =)
Think the openings were in chronological order of the story, which is why it seems out of order
There's technically a fourth series called "Mental Out" focusing on Misaki that should almost certainly be getting an anime series within the next few years once more manga chapters have been released.
@@bogijsjobjet Ah yeah, I bet so
In short it's a shared universe. Kinda like the MCU
Plus You guessed correctly that these titles comes from names (or nicknames). Index is that nun in white robes (full name Index Librorum Prohibitorum, for friends just Index), Railgun is that electric girl and, and last but not least, out white-haired boy is called Accelerator.
Short explanation
This series is about Espers (Superpowers) being developed in a scientific manner and Magic users usually affiliated with the church.
Scientific Railgun focuses on the Esper part of the story while Magical Index focuses on the well "Magic" part of the story
The story makes Science and Magic intersect and shit goes down
Why do people lie Index literally focuses on both sides
@@KsiOlajigglyOlatittiesDiabetes because out of all 3 series index is the one who focus more in magic , the main villians of index are almost all from the magic side and the story you really say that index is about touma falling into the rabbit hole that is the magic side
@@lulute8 How the fck does that mean Index doesn't focus on Science go and read the series and funny how all spin off are science so Index is the only one with Magic and people wonder why Index has more Magic.
@@KsiOlajigglyOlatittiesDiabetes Why are you fighting a ghost of your words ? it was just a TL;DR i literally said that shit goes down when science and magic bump heads. i don't want to go into any kind of detail because it would count as a spoiler in case anyone wants to experience it. You got angry because of absolutely no reason, i didn't lie about anything. You need to chill.
14:20 Iirc, she has a railgun ability, so she can launch that little coin with a great power and speed, just like a real railgun.
As demostrated here: 16:45
21:26 "Look how beautiful that is"
The context of the scene: 💀💀💀
This is one of the best series ever made in my opinion. There are so many sides to it, deeply interconnected with each other, and when you finally see the big picture and where every piece falls... it's just really incredible.
I love how the 1st opening of Railgun and Index has a crossover scene (thats the 1st and 3rd openings in the video you're watching). The part where the guy walks behind the girl by the vending machine. It's in both openings but from different perspectives.
16:46 the coins are iconic for her, but not really important since she could replace them with any metallic thing. But the Arcade coins are what she always carries handy.
Not even necessarily metal... just something that can withstand the attack. Pretty sure.
Man, hearing these songs made me realize how long it has been since i watched one of their series.This show would be like "academy for the gifted"(super powers) but more of on a city scale
And for the "index, railgun and accelerator" is for the characters, they focus on their pov or story.
just say city for the gifted instead. and magic isn't included in that line so maybe not
@@humanoidfrog4645 cant really say "city" for the gifted entirely, because they still have normal school for normal people, and if i remember it right, i think its a cluster of school/academy that it became large as a city...
Correct me if I'm wrong though, because it's been a really long time since I rewatched toaru no series
To aru (translated as 'A Certain') is an interesting series. There's 3 different anime series (Index, Railgun, Accelerator) and they're all happening in the same world, mostly the same city even. Index is the main series while Railgun and Accelerator follows popular side characters from Index. The order you've been given is the kind of order each part of the series falls on the timeline (though there's a lot of overlap it's just happening in different places, and Railgun T OP2 is in the wrong place)
The main premise is that there's a whole hyper advanced city that can give kids powers based on science, except there's also a magic power system that's unknown to the wide world. The main series Index focuses on the clashes that these 2 different systems and groups create when they overlap. Railgun is kind of a slice of life with sudden dips into the darker sides of the scientific city they live in. Accelerator follows somebody who's very deep into said darker sides. There's a lot of concepts, characters, and sometimes events the crossover and affect each other.
It's definitely something pretty unique from an anime perspective in that sense. its the same setting, but your getting a lot of different perspectives and tones of that setting and its why it feels like to you that there's so many different elements and people popping up in the openings with no clear connection.
And that's just the parts that are animated lol. The Index anime is incredibly far behind from its source, like ~30 LN volumes behind. And then there's currently unanimated series like Mental Out, ITEM, Dark Matter, and Astral Buddy. It's a really huge and old series haha. Still, it's incredibly sad how much the Index main series got shafted as it got adapted into anime.
Oh right, Imaginery Festival is the mobile gacha game that actually covers almost EVERYTHING from the series and then adds even more. It's pretty wild how much story it has, sadly its only released in Japanese.
With it being in chronological order Railgun comes first because it's always a little bit behind and sometimes follows the girl's perspective in certain arcs. Accelerator is the more grittier side of the series, Railgun is the more crime and lower scale side, and Index is the one that goes everywhere while before reaching some kind of avengers level threat that includes the other protagonists. They all crossover and tease at future stuff but Index is the one where actual progress in the world happens.
That was a pretty decent damn comment. I liked how you phrased it.
The OPs aren't even in chronological order, for example it switches from Railgun T back to Index II then eventually goes from Index III back to Railgun T again. The order seems kinda random frankly.
this series is very briefly magic vs science and there are multiple spinoffs with side characters from the main series being main characters
Without spoiling, the main premise of the story is Science versus Magic.
The source material is a trilogy of novels. The first two are completed while the third one is on-going.
So far the anime adaptations have covered only the first one.
Yes anime-only, all these seasons and it was only from the first novel.
Now to explain further, think of the story being told by different perspectives:
- To Aru Majutsu no Index (First season aired in 2008).
It is shown by the spikey haired boy, Touma.
- To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (First season aired in 2009).
It is shown by the coin tossing girl, Misaka.
- To Aru Kagaku no Accelerator (Only one season of this one that aired in 2019).
It is shown by the white haired boy with the collar, Accelerator.
The playlist shows how the events played in chronological order in the series.
Although, it is recommended to check them in airing order the decision is always yours.
Btw, the main protagonist in the novel is (most of the times) Touma.
There have been volumes where Touma is on the sidelines or not present at all but that is the appeal of the series. Even without him present, the story moves along.
I absolutely love this series❤
I saw the thumbnail, and I immediately clicked the video.
The "To aru" anime is one of the first anime I've watched and the openings have a special place in my heart, not only because it's nostalgic in a certain way but also because they are really good.
Mami Kawada is a legend.
Amen to that, same here. Just started rewatching the whole series again so seeing this vid pop up was a treat.
@@varg2315 I should rewatch it too, I miss it.
@@jacktheripper7935 You def should, never realized how many bits of crucial information pertaining to the to aru story I missed back then now that I'm rewatching it, almost feels like a new series.
Yes, things really get dark around Accelerator, the white hair dude with the crotch, because:
1) he's an edge lord
2) with how powerful he is, he has to put in the effort not to kill people.
3) everywhere he goes he's treated like a menace and, to an extent... he agrees.
So he's always surrounded by the absolute worst of society and the story begins.
And he's one of the greatest anime characters going. Man's an absolute champ.
crutch.

Index is my favorite anime based in Light Novel
Toaru majutsu no index is a light novel series that (together with ALL of its spin-offs like Railgun, Accelerator and others that have yet to receive an anime adaption) are sometimes seen as the anime equivalent of the MCU. Each character is their own main character and there are events where the protagonists of each series meet up.
Index generally follows the story of the normal highschool boy that you can find anywhere, Kamijou Touma and his involvement with both the Science side and Magic side. The preview of each episode sums it up well, when magic and science collide, a story is born.
Toaru kagaku no railgun is a manga spin-off of Index which focuses on Misaka Mikoto, the #3 level 5 esper of Academy City. She has the power to control electricity and her signature move, the railgun is used by firing a magnetic object (usually the arcade coin) with Lorenz force. The anime adaption added quite a bit of filler into seasons 1 and 2 and even introduced characters way earlier than the manga intended. Also because of the manga, a minor scene in Index was retconned but it doesn't hurt the narrative at all.
Toaru kagaku no Accelerator is a manga spin-off of Index which focuses on #1 Level 5 esper of Academy City, Accelerator. Generally regarded as the worst spin-off due to not expanding on their character and instead introduced inconsistencies to the plot. The anime improved on the manga but IMO it isn't worth reading after where the anime stops.
It is the only series I've read that manages to incorporate both science and magic well. The author Kazuma Kamachi goes into in depth research to make sure that both power systems are well defined and operated.
Esper powers are either natural (Gemstones) or artificially obtained through the experimentation of Academy City and they operate on quantum physics and Schrodinger's cat. Note, the science side is not only made of espers, but the technology of Academy City which is 20-30 years ahead of the rest of the world.
The magic side is run by multiple organisations called cabals, each with their own agenda. Magic is used through Idol Theory, where making a miniature replica of a thing in religion, myths, fairy tales, etc and knowing the ritual allows you to draw a fraction of power from the legend. An example would be a cross, a cross is where the son of God was crucified and as such if you know the proper procedure, you can draw some power from that. The closer your object is to the actual, the stronger the effects.
I tried to sum up as much as possible without any spoilers, I hope you enjoy it. If you are interested, the Index anime is a bad adaptation of the light novels which is heavily recommended instead.
Personally I recommend the release order of the anime, Index 1 > Railgun 1 > index 2 > Railgun 2 > Accelerator > Index 3 > Railgun 3

Next year is the 20th anniversary of the RailDex series it was a light novel that released in 2004
the tiny girl with pink hair WAS driving. she's an adult and a teacher lol. she has some kind of condition that made her look like a kid even as an adult.
The white haired nun, Index, also has an INSANE amount of power, but can't consciously use it. I think it was stated in one of the light novels that the fact she can't consciously access that information is why she hasn't become a Magic God.
A certain magical index is one of the light novels which make “animes” and light novels more popular.
Misaka mikoto can magnet herself onto a building if she needs to break a fall. not to mention her friend Kuroko who can just teleport her.
Accelerator (White haired boy) is the most powerful of all of them by a very wide margin. his power is Vector manipulation. if you know what a vector is, think about what that means.
He can alter any vector he touches. this means the force of an attack means nothing to him.

The To aru Universe is string chart the anime. As of right now there are 159 episodes across the 2 spinoffs and main series To aru Majustu no Index (a certain magical index) and in their time all of those episodes cover 3 months of events in their universe from different angles with only 1 major plot hole to speak of ( will not discus what that is here due to major early series spoilers). As long as you're good at keeping up with a lot of moving parts to a story it's a great series to watch. Unfortunately even the watch order is a debate in the community with 3 camps: release order, chronological simple, and true chronological. personally I would recommend #2 (Railgun, Railgun S, Index, Railgun T/index 2, Acel, Index 3)
occult-like religion and magic vs science in a world-spanning cold-war that expands into outright open conflict.
Basically our typical world, involving sects that use magic, and scientific city (where most story is oriented) where smart schoolkids are mentally unstabilized to produce high-power espers with single ability. Toaru series has nothing as set 1 main character. You could say probably black hair guy is most involved in other people mess, but there is several plotlines of different sides working at once and meeting at certaion points. Also some people switch sides etc, so its kinda difficult to keep track on what is going on at start.
Don't listen to some dumb comments of Anime only Railgun and other spin off focuses on Science side but Index focuses on both Magic and Science so don't listen to those comments.
Index is the main story so it actually gives world building.
put simply the to aru series is consisted of a certain magical index, a certain scientific railgun and a certain scientific accelerator (The goat) the scientific ones are spin offs of the magical one which is the main thing. in that world there is two different power scales one dealing with espers which is scientifically made magicians basically and then theres religion which has magic and it can be basically anything because its based off of different religions. For example there's a dude that's Aztecan and uses an obsidian knife like they used to perform sacrifices. Academy city is the main area the anime takes place and that's where all the espers are and they have levels based off of strength with level 5 being nigh unimaginable strength to everyone below and level 0 being virtually no powers at all. the main character (the guy with spiky black hair) is deemed a level 0 and he's also extremely unlucky for reasons that are episode 1 spoilers. this anime is one of my favorites and although i haven't read them myself I've seen some of the things from the light novel and it gets GOOD so if you have free time i recommend it
Toaru in japanese roughly translated to "a certain" in the series title and is the catch-all term for the series, being Toaru (Majutsu no Index/Kagaku Accelerator/Kagaku no Railgun):
A Certain Magical Index - The main story/plot thread of the series, focuses on the magic/scientific side of the world and their conflicts. The main charact is Kamijou Touma (generic looking spiky black hair guy) and Index (the white/blue haired nun girl). Touma is a "Level 0", the weakest of the weak. Index is a living library of magical knowledge.
A Certain Scientific Accelerator - The part of the story focusing on the "Accelerator", a "Level 5" and the "strongest of the strong" in the city. It's grittier, edgier, and generally darker.
A Certain Scientific Railgun - The part of the story that focuses more on the more mundane life and side-stories around Misaka Mikoto AKA the Railgun, another Level 5 in this city and her close circle of friends. Touma regularly makes appearances in the story as a kind of sort of will they/wont they romantic interest to Misaka and as the prime mover of the main series.
Main series is Index in which the main character is the black haired guy with the white haired nun by his side. Railgun is about the group of girls, main one being the one that interacts a lot with the black haired guy of Index that shows a lot of electricity in the openings. Accelerator is about the white haired dude that was fighting the guy from Index. and everything that happens in those series are events that are interconnected.
First of all, I have to say that I loved the video. ToAru Series is by far my favorite serialization. So much so that I am part of the team that helps translate the books (yes, books, not manga) into Portuguese.
That said, let me offer some no-spoiler explanations.
ToAru Series is originally a serialization of Light Novels i.e. books. The original title is the "ToAru Majutsu no Index" (A Certain Magical Index).
In his universe, there is magic and supernatural powers of scientific origin and, in each volume of the book, new conflicts and problems for the protagonists are presented.
With the success of the books and subsequent manga adaptation, side shows also came.
The first one is "ToAru Kagaku no Railgun" (A Certain Scientific Railgun), which is the one from the girls at the beginning of the video.
It's the same universe, but focused on the point of view of other important characters in the main one, in particular, the coin girl. It takes place at the same time, but with its own problems (some in common with the main series), and focusing mainly on the scientific side of this universe.
With the growing success of the original series and its first side show, they decided to launch their own side show for another important character, who figures more on the antihero side. ToAru Kagaku no Accelerator (A Certain Scientific Accelerator).
This was a roller coaster of events, with ups and downs, but it ended up not turning out as well as the previous two. And mixes the scientific and magical side of the universe a little.
As they all happen simultaneously, even putting things in chronology is a bit complicated, because, strictly speaking, it would be necessary to stop in the middle of the season of one, go to another, and so on.
But to make it as chronologically accurate as possible, respecting the duration of each season, I think the most coherent would be something like:
1. ToAru Kagaku no Railgun 1 (24 episodes)
2. ToAru Majutsu no Index 1 (24 episodes)
3. ToAru Kagaku no Railgun 2 (24 episodes)
4. ToAru Kagaku no Accelerator (12 episodes)
4.5 Honorable mention for movie: ToAru Majutsu no Index: Endymion no Kiseki (A Certain Magical Index: The Miracle of Endymion)*
5. ToAru Majutsu no Index 2 (24 episodes)
6. ToAru Kagaku no Railgun 3 (24 episodes)
7. ToAru Majutsu no Index 3 (24 episodes)
*The most correct thing would be for the movie to take place in the middle of the ToAru Majutsu no Index 2, but to avoid interruptions in the middle of the season, I thought it best to place it earlier.
Having said all that, if you want the events to be as chronological as possible, according to Light Novel, the order in which the openings were watched would be ideal.
Obviously all series are in the same universe. Railgun starts earlier on the timeline than Index, but once Railgun catches up to Index they both cover a lot of the same story, just from different character perspectives. Accelerator is a bit different. The protag of Accelerator is a main supporting character in both Index and Accelerator, but his series tells different stories, even if they feature a lot of characters from the other series.
Then there's actually a fourth series in this universe called "Mental Out", which features yet another one of the supporting characters in both Index and Accelerator. She's a bit of a rival/antagonist in Railgun, but is a friend of the protagonist of Index. I anticipate within the next few years that too will get an anime series.
The main story is the A Certain Magical Index. A Certain Scientific Railgun, A Certain Scientific Accelerator are spin offs with characters that you meet in Index. Other people in comments say that these series are a Magic vs. Science (mostly seen in Index) These are definitely showing in story order, not release order.
Release order is Index, Railgun, Accelerator.
Season 1 of railgun was released before season 2 of index. They were released as pairs
Railgun -> Railgun S -> Index 1 -> Accelerator -> Index 2 -> Index movie -> Railgun T -> Index 3 🎉🎉❤❤
Agreed. Anyone that suggests an order that doesn’t start with railgun and railgun S (just because that isn’t the original release order) is weird. It just spoils railgun s too much. The first 9 episodes (or is it 10) of index first to get a grasp on that side of things would be ideal, but no reactor is going to want to stop a season let way.
The Toaru series is a very big series that started with a light novel: A Certain Magical Index, and then spawned tones of other spin offs such as A Certain Scientific Railgun and A Certain Scientific Accelerator. The main concept of the series is science versus magic.
I really would recommend you reacting to Gigguk's video on the Toaru series.
The anime for index is a genuinely bad adaptation
A few years back the TH-cam channel Gigguk did a good non-spoiler explainer video, “The Fascinating World of Index/Railgun”, it is definitely worth a watch and worth reacting to.
The Toaru franchise is split into three seperate series that all take place around the same time. A Certain Magical Index, A Certain Scientific Railgun and A Certain Scientific Accelerator. All take place in the fictional setting Academy City, modern day Japan.
INDEX
"A Certain Magical Index" is the main storyline with Touma Kamijou, (spiky black hair boy) a Level 0 esper as the protagonist. He is considered the weakest of the weakest in the esper rankings. But he possesses Imagine Breaker, a strange phenomenon he's had since birth. Anything supernatural that comes into contact with his right hand will be negated. This is the reason for why the openings of Index seem to have shots that focus on his right hand.
Toaru is set in Academy City, the city of science where students develop psychic esper powers through medication and experimentations. When Touma meets Index, (the young silver hair nun in white robes) he learns she is a part of a magical organization in Europe and quickly finds himself in a massive world scale power struggle between science and magic.
The magic side is made up of the many different churches and other occult organizations around of the world.
Academy City, said to be 30 years scientifically advanced ahead of the rest of the modern world, is practically the face of the world of science.
RAILGUN
"A Certain Scientific Railgun" is a spin off side series with Mikoto Misaka, (short brown hair girl with the coin) a Level 5 esper with the ability to control electricity, as the protagonist. Its kinda a slice of life, sci-fi thriller series where Misaka and her group of friends often get mixed up in the seedy underground shenanigans of the city.
With Index being the main story centred around the massive world scale conflict of magic vs science, Railgun is smaller and focused on the inner-city conflicts of the science side.
ACCELERATOR
"A Certain Scientific Accelerator" is another side story centred around Accelerator (the white hair skinny boy), the first ranked Level 5 esper. Level 5 is the highest level in the esper ranking.. so he pretty much is ranked highly as the strongest esper in the city. He has the ability to transform and manipulate the vectors of anything he touches. Meaning he can practically control the direction and magnitude of anything he comes into contact with. That is fcking OP.
All three protagonists make small appearances in each other's series. But Misaka and Accelerator, aside from being the protagonists in their own series.. are also important main characters in Index.
Accelerator best character lvl 5 top academy city
i watched the magical index series, but after watching this video i think i need to watch the whole franchise to understand the lot. cuz i was so confused at some points.
If you will watch this, dont make the mistake i made. Try to watch the whole franchise.
This is second in Complexity only to the Fate series
the ops is in chronological order
magic and science
chose your side😆
22:28 "The vocals on this man, phew"
Man...RIP Maon Kurosaki
I think gigguk's video on The Fascinating World of Index/Railgun provides a good idea of the premise the entire story is based on if you're interested
There was a special opening for the Railgun OVA that you missed (not that I blame you, when you have this many ops from multiple different seasons and shows, something is bound to fall through the cracks) but I highly recommend watching it.
It is a fairly confusing series coming in from knowing nothing. Like it's all the same universe that the shows happen in but there are three different shows, each telling a different story at a different time and sometimes they connect up as events that happen in one have happened in the others. So it's more of a matter of watching them in a specific order to make the most sense or watching them in release order and having moments of realisation to things happening.
It's a good series, it's just hard to recommend to people because of how big it is with how many different shows you'd have to get someone to commit to watching now. Like three shows, each with 1-3 seasons with more to come and a movie on top.
Eyyy finally it's here, the reaction to my favorite series❤❤
Guessing what the anime about is impossible just by watching the op so i don't think there's no need to worry about being spoiled
Read my full comment / This is the correct order in this anime series / According to the events of the story
1- A Certain Magical Index / The hero of the anime is his name: Touma Kamijou
2- A Certain Scientific Railgun / Openings 1-6 + OVA / The heroine of the anime the anime girl her name is: Mikoto Misaka
3- A Certain Scientific Accelerator Opening / The hero of the anime is his name: Accelerator
4- To Aru Majutsu no Index Imaginary Fest openings 1-2 / openings mobile game
I love toaru series!and the music.The group fripside is the best❤
I'm aware you watched these quite a while ago but are there any plans to actually watch the shows or is this going to be an opening only thing?
Hey 👋 we have votes all the time so there's always a chance 💯
The non spoiler plot of this anime is basically science vs magic
The watch order is pretty debatable, so I wouldn't worry to much about people telling you what is the correct order.
Always prefered the railgun series the most, but I would say everything is worth a watch!
Yeah, Railgun is a blast.
What is toaru
The story is set in Academy City, a highly advanced city where 80% of its citizens are students with supernatural abilities. The main character, Toma Kamijo, is a student with the ability to negate any supernatural powers, making him immune to magic and psychic abilities. He becomes involved in various conflicts between different factions and organizations within Academy City, as well as supernatural beings from outside the city.
What toaru does is give certain characters spin offs toaru majutsu no index is the main show and the others are spin offs
Letsgooooooo❤❤❤❤❤❤
i'd recommend watching the toaru franchise video Gigguk made, that explains pretty well what the series is about without spoiling it, would be cool to see your reaction to it maybe
They are in the weirdly correct order of watching.
That's the weird thing about this series, the release order and watch order are two different things.
a railgun is a weapon that accelerates a metal object at high speed with electro magnetism a metal object like a 100 yen coin for example ^-^
the story is mainly about science vs magic, it's one of my fav series...
about to aru series, they are from the same universe and in that world they have two major power that is magic and science (esper). at the begining they mainly lived in academy city in this case in science side. for simple index is the main series that include all, more focus in magic side. railgun is about the bright side of academy city but slowly touching the dark side. and accelerator is about his redemption arc and his focus more into the city dark side.
Toaru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magical Index) is the original series. All other are spin-offs but still cannon. If you are planning to watch, then watch them in release order.
No watch in story order, if you watch in release order he's going to be bouncing around confused.
someone tried to put the OPs into "chronological" story order... it's not completely right, but it's close enough. The problem of course is you're dealing with a primary source (Index) and 2 manga spinoffs which were produced at separate times with input from the author of the primary series. So there isn't a perfect correlation. This also causes problems with the anime adaptions, as the manga to anime adaptions for Railgun and Accelerator were much better on the whole then the LN to anime adaption for Index. but this also causes problems because the manga for railgun serialized after the first season of index (anime) aired, so the weird adaption issues index had, became cannon in the manga adaption, which seemed to draw inspiration from the anime for the world... and the anime wasn't a great adaption of the light novels.
-To explain the problem, the Light novels are a CYBERPUNK meets Ars Magica (1980s RPG) meets Rifts (80's RPG) inspired world. But the anime adaption sort of fumbled the world, turning it into sort of a hyper futuristic tokyo not a world of cyberpunk. So you have cyberpunk story elements and themes, mixed in with magical occult stuff and super powered battles in a city that looks like you'd get arrested for jay walking or spitting your gum on a sidewalk for. It just is a visual cognitively dissonant world.
-Sadly the manga for Railgun borrowed heavily from the artistic interpretation of the anime, and as a result that version of the world became sort of cannon.
15:38 No, she def falls from the sky. A few times. ;)

22:48 and 26:55 Pretty sure these are for a video/mobile game....?
28:15 Plenty of badniks are teenagers, too. Don't think too hard on it, just watch this epic anime journey.
About the armband on the girl's school uniform, well, basically here In Japan, it is the sign if they are a leader of student council and even a school club. ^^ Simple as that. Nothing else.
Some confused part can explain by one keyword: cloning.
The coin girl aka railgun is one of the seven lv5(Known as some strongest in sience side), and the crazy white-hair with collar is the strongest lv5, aka Accelerator.
So here comes the dark part, some craziest scientist came up a plan to make him level up to lv6, by killed coin girl seven times. That was impossible, so they decided to cloning the railgun 20,000+ times.These cloning aka Sisters are not strong as the origin(about lv2~3), but they got number to be killed. Till the railgun series started, the Accelerator had killed over 10000+, almost one or two sisters per days. In Index series, Accelerator was stopped by Touma(Main Charactor), the plan was banished. This event officially start the conncetion between Index and Railgun storys, although railgun had knew Touma even before that.
After that, Accelerator met the No.20,001 cloning, the little girl known as the Last Order, started a family relationship with her.Later he was shot on head while try to save Last Order, the bullet not took his life but destroyed his calculate ability to live normally or using power, here he started to use the collar to borrow sister's thoughts internet( every sisters connect each with brain waves, shared the thinking and memories, the Last Order were like command tower ) to live, even using power(12:38 the redlight means he take back power till collar ran out battery).
Series is amazing, The LN's are God Tier. One of the best arc's in the anime is gonna be in Railgun S. Misaka Best girl. Pretty much sums up the series. Oh and watch out for Othinus.
its about a clash between science (all of the main character is esper) versus magician or between esper (victim of the experiment) too, sometimes between normal ppl. not all magician is bad, especially the girl with white nurse dress named index. so far there are 3 POV. Index (the black guy & nurse girl), railgun (orange haired schoold girl & her gang) and accelerator (the white haired villain with handicaped stick).
Haha there are 3 animes in the same universe, Two of them have 3 seasons (2 openings each), the whole list is a mess but hey, there no context at all sooo... its fine i guess.
The main story is "to aru majutsu no index". To aru scientific no Railgun and Accelerator are spin-off.
The series are great, however its humor might be outdated these days. (i mean, it has many l0li jokes that were popular in the 2000s).
Are they in the right order? No, but chronologically it gets difficult anyway - Index and Railgun are happening in the same place around the same time but following different characters, some of the arcs are even the same but from different perspectives
I love this series (mainly the Railgun half) and when its following the books/manga its really good, but if have to admit there is a TON of filler and anime original story arcs which let it down somewhat
It is kinda funny how phrase "she is his younger sister", in regards to small girl, is corect, but in VERY different way then what you think
If you really want to know about this series, because it is very interesting, I would highly recommend Gigguk’s video on the Index series.
Scientist power vs magic powers.
Believe it or not, this playlist was actually missing the Railgun OVA opening, lol.
Great reaction, enjoyed your thoughts.
when you don't know the shows, it would be very confusing. Literally anyone could write a book explain the three shows and how they are separate, but also some what connected.
Welcome to Anime's Version of the MCU
A certain magical index and scientific railgun both take place at the same time
They exist in the same universe city
Toaru anime series for now is focused on 3 series
Toaru Majutsu no Index / A Certain Magical Index
Toaru Kagaku no Railgun / A Certain Scientific Railgun
Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator / A Certain Scientific Accelerator
My guess is why the opening plays in that is because it was arranged in chronological order since they happen at the same place but different time or same time at different places or sometimes in some arc they do even come together since these 3 anime series focused on different main characters.
Most of the series start taking place in an academy city that focuses on its advanced science and technology where they develop a society where many people develop scientific phenomena manipulating power where they are called esper and they are categorized from lvl 1 to highest in the anime series right now is lvl 5. Railgun focusing on the esper side
Meanwhile Index focused on the opposite force of science such as magic, wizardry, religion, divinity and such
More than these i would be spoiling the story but it's a very fun anime to watch. Do understand this is my way of explaining the Toaru series as an anime only watcher and be easy on me light novel reader😅
Sad thing is the singer of the Index series, Maon Kurosaki passed away at February.
im very biased as this is my absolute favourite series of all time but i highly highly recommend it.
just make sure u watch in chronological order it clears stuff up and makes stuff so much more exciting
A bad guy could look cool too bro. That's why there are likable/lovable villains, not just heroes.
"Индекс волшебства" был неплохим, особенно первый сезон, а дальше слили...
Late to the party
This is the first playlist that gives the opening in a chronological timeline order from the main story and the spin offs.
The setting is that I’m Academic City they give the students with science and education. Esper powers at the same time religions still have influence but in comparison use real magic
ToAru series is just the best.
Index is the main series. Essentially, it's about science/espers versus religion/magic.
Railgun and Accelerator are spin-offs and take different POV. Railgun focuses on the more scientific side and the mortality of scientific experiments. Accelerator is, personally, for character development for Accelerator.
Imaginary Fest is a game, I'm pretty sure (hence the 3d in the second "opening").
To sum up this series as best as I can. A Certain Magical Index tells the story of a boy named Touma Kamijou who has the ability to cancel out any and all supernatural powers, whether it be magical or sceintific. The story is set in Academy City a city of science with technology 30 years ahead of the rest of the world. One day Touma meets a mysterious nun only known as Index (the titular character of the show) who is being chaced by sorcerers.
A Certain Scietific Railgun is a side story focusing on the brown-haired girl with electric powers who is a major character in Index.
A Certain Scientific Accelrator in another side story which focuses on the white-haired boy who is one of the most popular villains turned Anti-hero in the story.
Both 'A Certain Scientific Railgun' and 'A Certain Scientific Accelerator' are spin-off series from the main series 'A Certain Magical Index' which has 3 seasons.
The series as a whole is a mix of Science and Technology vs Religion and Magic. It's a very interesting fusion. Within each of these groups there are multiple factions and they don't necessarily agree with one another which is where you see the fighting take place between them. Sometimes it will be the science people vs the religious people and sometimes it will be the science people vs the science people and the religious people vs the religious people.
Railgun is not the first opening it's magical index is the first opening
I dont know who made that playlist but it should have started with index not railgun its not a super big deal here but just know release order would be index season 1 first if you watch it \
edit hm ok watching more it seems they went for the chronological order of the series over the release date order
Without our spoiling for you some characters may be Young or older than you think lol
The magic is actually a science and the science functions more like magic.
It's a pity that I didn't watch the opening of оva on the railgun :(
ok so the girl with the coin is basically a human rail gun with her powers and the coin is her bullet
Thank you for your reaction.
The To Aru Franchise or A Certain Franchise is a multi-anime cinematic universe with the 3 main characters having their own anime series that lightly interweave into each other. For a total 6 and half seasons plus a movie.
Best described as Anime: The Anime. For better or worse, every trope known to anime is at full force here and it often plays with them pretty well.
From a city of Super advanced technology populated by pyschic powered X-Men, and secret organizations of ancient magic sorcerers, political conspiracies, human experimentation, fun slice of life antics, mechs, SWAT Teams, and battle nuns!
The A Certain Magical and Scientific Animes are filled with action, comedy, and fan service and are overall are just whole a lot of fun.
The franchise also has multiple different series of light novels and Mangas that all starting as far back back in 2004 with first anime season releasing in 2008.
I mean it's a light novel and manga series with anime adaptations is more precise.
To Aru is a strange franchise. It is divided into index, railgun and accelerator. being index the main one and the others spin-off. In summary, in the universe of to aru there are sper (users of psychic powers) which can be developed with science and anyone has the potential if cultivated and others naturally have the talent innately. In parallel, in the hidden and unknown side of society and human history and unnoticed by science there is magic and magicians and whose users cannot use psychic powers because it is incompatible with magical nature, although magic is based on science and mathematics applied in conjunction with faith and religions, so in principle the sper and magicians are two sides of the same coin. In raigul it is a slice of life with action and the main character is a sper with electric powers, I never liked the railgun series because the main character is neither that strong or that interesting; accelerator is the strongest and unattainable esper in the world, he controls a factor of universal physical laws, which is the concept of vectors, so he was virtually invincible and his series is like raigun but without the slice of life and much badass. And the most important is index that deals with the protagonist being a bug in the world practically, he is not a sper or a magician, but his right hand rejects and cancels everything that is not natural, be it magic, psychic powers, luck, divine beings and he could even annihilate God just by touching him, but it's just his hand; otherwise, he's a normal person with no physical qualities or any skill, and since all traces of fortune and luck are repelled by his own existence, he is atrid and pushed into situations where he will have to face both psychics and supernatural or divine entities, magicians and many religious people.
Different Main characters same world.
My favourite anime of all time
This animation depicts a student being pushed around with the machinations of adults.
Also, when you come to Tokyo, Japan, you can see the city that served as a model.
