Am I the only one noticing the similarities between To Aru Majutsu no Index and Bioshock!? They are all about technologically advanced cities considered as "utopias" (Rapture is a libertarian one, Columbia an patriotic one, and Academy City, an utopia of science), they have supernatural powers (vigors, plasmids, esper powers), and all cities have a dark side. Throw in a protagonist with a troubled past (DeWitt, his alternative/parallel pasts, Jack, his past in the dark until the very end, and Touma, we know next to nothing about due to memory loss), and a girl they have to protect (Eleanor, Elizabeth, Index), and Toaru is just another Bioshock game...
