Hey it's ShadowACS again.

I don't know why this light novel/anime is so popular. Like I said on my videos, this is the most confusing storyline I have ever seen and read! Many people have agrued that the Light Novels are a lot better. Well guess what? I read them, and I still don't understand what Esper powers are! They talk about them bending spoons with their minds and then they can somehow use their brains to create a Personal Reality which creates a so called AIM Dispersion Field and what-not! Seriously, none of it makes any sense!

If you want to do this right, go watch the 2003 Full Metal Alchemist. Here, they explain everything in the first episode. Just imagine if they didn't explain everything in the first episode. Do you realize how confusing it all would have been? It would have been like, "What is this alchemy thing everyone keeps on talking about?" "Why is everyone drawing circles on the ground?" "Why is this alchemy so freaking important?"

In fact, trying to keep up with the pacing of the story is hard enough. Now, I have been getting a lot of hate on this one because everyone tells me that the light novel's pacing is a lot better. Once again, I have to disagree with everyone. I read the light novels, and it still has bad pacing.

People keep telling me that the manga of A Certain Scientific Railgun is far superior to the anime adaptation. Again, I have to disagree with the public. The anime has unique "filler" storylines that has acutally made its way on My Top 10 Anime Climaxes. I don't care what anybody else says. A Certain Scientific Railgun is far superior to A Certain Magical Index. I love the climax of a good story, and when it came to Index's story, I couldn't even give two shits about the story. In my opinion, they were just standard shoen anime action scenes. In Railgun's story, the focus is more on the motivation of the characters than anything else! It's not an overblown "end of the world" scenarios in like in the white nun's storyline. In the preschool frog lover's storyline, the main focus is just a teacher trying to save her students from a simple "evil" science experiment. And I cared about that poor teacher! I wanted to see her save those kids and I was totally rooting for the main characters to help her out! The big action scene at the end was great too! Hell, we get to see Railgun using her powers to the fullest extent and it was a ton of fun! Now, do we ever see Index doing any of this? The answer is no! Now, to be fair, the villain sucked! All in all however, Railgun's anime only filler was incredible! Now is A Certain Scientific Railgun on my Top 30 list? No. Why? It's because, I had fun and it's a good anime; however, the problem is that it's not a great anime.

As such, A Certain Scientific Railgun will never be able to reach my Top 30 Anime unless the filler in A Certain Scientific Railgun Second Season is FAR SUPERIOR to the filler arc in first season. It's clear that I'm in the minority, but I decided to check this wiki out because of the franchise's popularity as a whole. If you love the franchise, keep on loving it. Furthermore, I love Railgun. Index.....well.....there's no point in hiding it, its okay. There's nothing wrong with it, but there's nothing really that great about it either.

This is ShadowACS, and I'll see you next time.
