To Aru Kagaku no Railgun archived manga discussion
Thread for the manga of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun (とある科学の超電磁砲/A Certain Scientific Railgun):
For more information on the setting, look at the anime thread http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=67218 There isn't much to explain other than that. Railgun is a side story focusing on Mikoto. There are two volumes out. There seems only to be one chapter translated out though. --- Have not bought the actual volumes, but since it was just a click or two (or five or six) away, I read the first chapter. It's only one chapter, but I've taken a liking to it. Probably just because the Mikoto's electric abilities are so... devastating (and appealing). |
ugh... someone do the scanlation :heh:
|
I was about to post on the other thread when a little back tracking reveals that there's already a thread for this :heh:
I've just read the first three english chap scans of the main series, tried looking for more, but ended up with A Certain Scientific Railgun instead :heh: (Gotta love the titles...) I've just finished one and a half volume, meaning 11 chapters, and it's definitely a more interesting story... Well, it's not really fair to compare it with only 3 chapters :heh: The story runs some what parallel to the Toaru Majutsu no Index right? Considering the occasional appears of Touma, who just knows how to push Makoto's buttons without even trying :heh: Heck, if I'm not wrong, she disappeared for 3 whole chapters just to hunt him down :heh: |
Finally got and finished with two volumes + 1 chapter (total, 14 chapters)...
*nod* Scientific Railgun definitely ended up being more interesting and fun then Magic Index. -For one thing, I ended up liking the art more. -Another is the plot (the mystery surrounding the Power Upper) proved to be exciting (especially the whole Saten Ruiko thing, where I panicked every episode on whether she would use it or not). -Third! Mikoto is far better than that Index! Railgun, saikouuuu!!! :D -Fourth, I felt more from the dramatic scenes! -And I guess, last reason is that I find the whole science thing more interesting than the magic thing. And probably more reasons I can't put into words, because reading it itself is the best way! Unfortunately, at chp. 14, it's a cliffhanger... As for Mikoto... tsundere, definitely tsundere. I had a hunch the moment I ever saw her, but it's certain, yep. And her power... PIKACHUUUUU!!! *cough* I had to say that. Thunder and all... :heh: Also, it seems Mikoto is very loved by fans. Very loved... :uhoh: Spoiler for a few thoughts so far:

Mikoto, not Makoto, by the way. Touma's nickname for her is funny. びりびり中学生 -- One last! :kisskiss::kisskiss::kisskiss::kisskiss: Mikoto-chan~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-*killed by railgun* |

I myself would wait for more chapters from a certain magic Index to come out first... Damnit, why can't I the least find a chinese scan somewhere? Quote:

I expected as much myself, it would be a sin for her NOT to be :p Especially her inability to let Touma live in peace :heh: Quote:

LOL at the "Touma-Radar" :D I would post that image in here, but the website where I got it from wouldn't allow me to =_= Quote:

Touma Radar: Kamijou Touma, discovered! Mikoto: Kill!! *dash* Quote:
びりびり, I believe, is how you feel after getting shocked, and thus, Touma calls her that all the time. Bonus pic- Mikoto's profile (left) and pillow-hugging Mikoto (right): http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/8...0044pe9.th.jpg Quote:

Lol I see... Goes unexpectingly well with the scene before when she unintentionaly 'checkmates' herself to Touma, who then went easy on her because she 'looked' scared :heh: Quote:
P.S - Btw, have you heard the drama CD sample(s) on their website :D ? The first one has Touma, Index and Mikoto going about in a... Cafe? (My Japanese listening skills is Lv 0.5... A abit, but still not enough :heh:) |

Sample 2 has Kuroko in it... Damn, her 'evil' / 'scheming' voice is awesome :heh: |

Besides for Mikoto (and a bit of Touma), the voices for Index and Kuroko were a bit different from what I expected... This cast isn't bad, but I wouldn't mind a new cast for the anime. And listening to the lightning... ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow... I haven't listened to the actual drama CD yet though. I was thinking about listening to it, but I stopped myself since I didn't really know the characters and it would be kind of pointless to listen to it while not knowing anything. I might go back and listen to it, though there are still some characters I don't know... |
Chp15 wasn't too exciting. Just a preparation to another chapter... Too little Mikoto, too much crazy scientist.
These two pages really reminded me of Elfen Lied's dicloniuses' vectors (with no blood)... Spoiler:
Also, another amusing thing is the appearance of characters from vol.15 Spoiler for just the picture:
I do find it (it=current events) amazing... when I remember that Mikoto is still in middle school. Σ(;゚Д゚) A funny product I found on Amazon... Click Vol.2 of Railgun+Index Poker... Wanted it... but it was sold out. ___(´;ω;`) |
Oh~, finally a new chapter. I've been waiting~
And with this chapter, the first arc is finished (wait, there's more...?)! ⊂( ゚ヮ゚)⊃ It... was okay, but it's like times like this that I wish I was a bit more knowledgeable in science... Leaves me a bit confused at times... And there was a page that was just "(゚Д゚) HAH?!" Oh well, it wasn't that bad/hard... There was also a part of me that thought the battle finished too quickly. Spoiler for a few pages from the chapter:
Recently, I've only found new chapters of Railgun... Wish I could find new Index chapters too... 。・゜・(つД`)・゜・。 Imouto~~~ |
I've been working on scanlating this; I have to rely on WWWJDIC for most of the kanji, so it's a slow process. Chapter 2 is coming along, though I've been busy with other things lately. Scanlation sure is a lot of work. :( The only thing keeping me going is the tsundere-ness. :D
|
Sigh, Chinese scans isn't coming out with anything either...
|
|
I have a sneak suspicion about what that is, but can someone translate the text on the left?
|
if im not wrong, it is about the announcement for making the anime, the title is Toaru Kagaku no Railgun SS

I believe there was a novel volume labled SS too... Quote:
Well, either way, *saves pic* Chp.2 was scanned by some group a while back. |
