[warning: don't bother me about reading the novels, i'm of the opinion that you need to actually understand the language when it comes to reading novels rather then rely on translations.]

My personal problem with Touma (and that's just that from a literary, main character standpoint), is that first day we see him and for the rest of the series (even with the random memory wipe which did jack shit to him on a functional level) he's basically already a FINISHED product of himself, no interest-grabbing development needed and that's just not compelling to me, at least show me a prequel series where he was a crippled overweight or a paper-thin shinji ikari-style wimp going through the JOURNEY to become the warrior he is today, show me when he was just a simple piece of shit, when you admire someone successful or someone with these hardcore values and beliefs like Touma's, it is not the success or hardcore traits you are admiring as much as the Struggle and the Journey, the STORY of what they had to go through to get where they are now.

i don't get a sense of journey with this character, i don't get a story.

this is why i prefer Misaka and Accel (Shiage close contender) as the main eyes of this series.

end rant, now you can pounce and dogpile me for dissing your favorite superhero.
