Triple R said Railgun S was interesting enough to want to read the manga. And by reading the manga there is no need to watch the first half of Railgun season 1. As it does the same as the manga but changed a few things here and there that kinda mess with the main story chronology.

The subject was about Misaki so he was likely talking about future manga content. Or I could convince him to watch the anime and skip the manga counterpart, since he's more partial to anime. And from what I've heard, Saten gets considerably more focus in the anime than the manga counterpart during the Level upper arc, which is what I'm getting at.
And I still don't understand this whole stuff about Railgun supposedly messing up the chronology.

Anyway, I just watched Episode 4 of the original Railgun. It made me feel very badly for Touma, but some of it was funny. I'll probably keep watching.

Actually it's not really insane. I think it's fairly easy to jump into Railgun S without watching the first season and make the jist of why Mikoto's friends are there. It's just I'm a huge Saten fan so it kinda irks me that her story gets ignored because of Kuroko.

The Railgun anime removed the first bridge scene with Touma and Mikoto, had Kongou in the city before she moved there (even saving Misaka at one point which really messes with canon), and generally got a lot of small details wrong.

That's why I think reading the whole manga is worth it rather than skipping animated scenes. Although my recommendation about skipping the first season was because Triple_R dropped first one so wasn't sure whether watching it was a likely option.

^Most of them don't make any difference to the manga sure, it's Index they cause problems with.
The Kongou one is the only one that causes problems with the manga. Kongou saves Misaka's life at one point, but in the everything but the anime Kongou isn't even in the city when that happens. So therefore... who saved Misaka's life?

Like I said, it sounds more like a simple difference to the manga than an actual issue. And if that's the case, I don't see what's wrong with considering the anime events the actual canon over the manga.

But the problem with doing it for Index/Railgun is that while the animes have some differences with source and some original content they're still following the source instead of going full original and/or making an original end. This does mean that anything they add/cut/change can result in later having to add/cut/change more things to fit future arcs without contradict what the anime showed before.

I'm not doubting there's differences. What I'm doubting is the assumed intentions behind them. If people want to think the manga is more canon over the anime then that's a legitimate opinion with legitimate reasons to believe so. But honestly, in the grander scheme of things, I don't really know why the contradictions of chronology for such a minor character is all that important anyway.

Funny how everyone is gushing about how this episode is awesome, when it's actually the first one in this season that I found really unenjoyable.
Though well, I have a soft spot for Railgun while considering Index one of the worst anime I ever saw, so maybe it's rather easy to pinpoint it to Touma himself - or rather, to his REAL power, which is his retardation-inducing forcefield which make everything in his vicinity completely cretinous. Okay, the entire scenario "if some level 0 guy punch Accelerator, then people will think Accelerator is very weak instead of thinking that the level 0 guy may actually have some very fishy unknown power" is completely (well beyond) retarded to begin with. But at least this time, the emphasis was put previously on how it could mess with the calculations, so I can close my eyes and pretend it was the idea all along (despite Touma clearly meaning the former and not the latter). But more than that, the whole guilt-trip ("someone tricked me when I was 5-years old, so I'm responsible for 10 000 deaths I had nothing to do with and actively tried to prevent") is pretty idiotic too. Touma weird attempts at barring the way instead of trying to use actual worthy argument to convince Misaka only pile up on the idiocy, and make for a completely random serie of actions that are completely disjointed. Hard to let the mood get to you when you slam your head against the wall because everything happening makes absolutely no sense and feels put there only to make some weird artificial drama. To sum up, this episode COULD have been extremely emotional, but the nonsensical idiocy of it all just prevented it for being enjoyable in any way. The best I can say about it, is that at least Touma wasn't as insufferably arrogant and short-sighted as usual. But I'm very afraid he'll catch up to THIS in the next episode...
