tbf if you dont what it a Spin Off anime is its not rare to think there from parallel universes

[@slipstride6920]

Toaru series is 3 shows The main show-a certain magical index Side show 1- a certain scientific railgun Side show 2- a certain scientific accelerator All shows take place during the same time but each show focuses on a diffrent characters pov its a amazing show that can be light hearted and dark and does a amazing job showcasing a wide range of powers also just so you know toaru literly just means "a certain" so in English it's "a certain" series

[@lolochan9915]

there is more for LN and manga

[@jdoggivjc]

Could be in for a fourth show, if and when A Certain Scientific Mental Out gets adapted in the future (based on Misaki Shokuhou's perspective)

[@pd209458]

All the series take part in the same time (like during the same year) but each starts at slightly different point and progresses at it's own pace. So watching in the "production order" in one series you might see characters that are dead in the other. But also taki in mind that magic, science, cloning, necromancy and shapeshifting and many others exist in this universe so what you see is not always what you think.

[@GiovannyAltamirano94]

[@hashiram5334]

Thats probably the funniest Opening reaction because you could not be more far away with your guess and your confidence just kills me :D "Toaru" just stands for "A Certain" and the names are different because they all focus on the different characters. "Magical Index" is basically the "main" story line and focuses on the dude with black hair and the girl with white Hair (her name is literally Index). "Scientific Railgun" is about the coin tossing girl (she is the railgun with her ability). "Scientific Accelerator" is the about the White haired guy (his ability has something to do with acceleration, but in a different way than you would think). Even though he is not Killlua from HunterXHunter or Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul, i must admit i can see why you would think that. It all plays in the same world/universe but u can definetly say that its similar to the MCU with how they distributed it all. Yuu can watch them all independently (i myself just watched index), but obviously there are many connections and easter eggs etc. .

[@wildeyoung3943]

IIRC Accelerator was a bit of a misnomer since his ability was to control the speed and direction of vector. But yeah I can see how Luke wouldn't be able to make heads nor tails of the openings since it's essentially 3 series set in the same world centering on different sets of characters, like you said. But the Toaru series are pretty good.

[@humanoidfrog4645]

@@makotobranch14naegi95 that's not a spoiler. 2 comments above you is a guy who watched all of index and stil didn't get it. Even i only understood it after listening to the fandom so who tf cares and if it makes the show more populair you should definetly "spoil" his powers

[@lanytai2010]

"It looks quite light hearted." *Accelerator oppening begins* Seriously, you can't make this comedic timing up! 🤣 Thing is, you watched these slightly out of order. Index, Railgun and Accelerator are set in the same setting, but Index is the main series which is about a world split between science and religion, while the other two are spin offs focusing on other characters the main character crossed paths with, showing other things that were happening at the same time. The universe is so rich and the plot so packed that they had to do that to explain all the facades and multi layered plans many characters have in motion, and even then, they still get you out of guard when certain things connect in your head and you go "OH SHIT". This is why this series is my favorite anime series of all time. Fun fact: I never noticed the semblance between the characters you pointed out. It's merely coincidence btw.

[@Avetho]

When I heard him say "light hearted" my mind brought up an approximate death counter. Its into the 5 digits, maybe even past 6 by now, right?

[@supergamer1388]

@@Avetho And how much of that death counter is the network?

I also don't know if Kazakiri counts as an honorary member of the Network as despite being a fully AIM-made individual she was influenced by the Sisters having been infected by that virus to become Fuse=KAZAKIRI during the invasion of God's Right Seat with KAZAKIRI fighting Vento of the Front. Man I keep underestimating how complex the story is XD

[@chemislife]

imagine if we send him the video a youtuber made explaining the different watch orders for the series lol

[@marthdaeglin]

To be fair, the series progressively gets more insane the further it goes into the story...

[@pokemastericon]

It was probably confusing because you thought of them all as one series. Each one, Index, Railgun, Accelerator, are actually three stories all tied to a greater story/world building. Each has a different main character. They are essentially three different people within the same city

[@epryn]

It also probably didn't help that the playlist was arranged so weirdly. Like, yeah the casts are all pretty different, but the overlap would probably be more apparent if they had organized it in release order (or really any order that had some actual logic behind it)

[@chemislife]

@@epryn The order was all X series then moved on to the next with the main series being last.doing it by timeline might have been possible if the creator wanted to put a ton of effort into it but the release order wouldn't have been any better because accelerator would have been the last OP. At least this order has the last OP being the current point the toaru universe anime is at (man that ending hurts to remember)

[@hitechinc.7875]

Just with different perspective

[@zelgad65]

So (not so) quick rundown on the to aru series: The story is pretty much split into 3 different simultaneous routes and/or stories. The general setting is based around a culture where science and religion are very omnipresent. However the main location of interest is the academic city, where people develop powers not by divine intervention but by the influence of science, becoming "espers". The storylines divert as following: 1.- The main series storyline "to aru majutsu no index" or "a certain magical index" revolves around the black hair dude and the little white haired nun, and explores the ecclesiastic point of view of this world, as well as introducing motivations and general plot points for the main characters of the side storylines. It emphasizes the political aspects of religion when it comes to the power they hold in society and how it influences the direction churches take when found in a position of power. 2.- The first side storyline "to aru kagaku no railgun" or "a certain scientific railgun" is the story of the coin flipping girl, and centers around the life of espers, how are they ranked based on their capabilities and in general how the system in this big science based society works. It also involves a lot of subjects pertaining to the motivations of people higher up in the command chain of a society and how this motivations influence decisions when in a position of power and privilege 3.- The second side storyline "to aru kagaku no accelerator" or "a certain scientific accelerator" explores the story of the white haired guys, which is introduced early in INDEX and goes through massive chance character-wise. If I had to give a theme to this storyline, it would be humanity and the things that produce chance in an individual, as well as how our environment changes the way we view the world around us. The charm of this series is that stories intertwine themselves at certain points, so you´ll see, for example, a big explosion in one of the parts, just to later understand "oh wait, so the explosion i saw in the first series was actually this event taking part in the second series". Also since the characters are not with each other 100% of the time, you´ll see them having certain stances towards one another when they meet that you know are not necessarily correct, but you can understand since characters don´t have the entire context of each other. In general , I´d say it´s a very enjoyable series, a little heavy on the fanservicy aspects for my taste (although this is pretty much a staple of light novel based anime at this point), however this does not take away from the fact that it´s actually very interesting both in world building and characters. Also the fights are great and the creativity the author had with powers (specially on the scientific side of the spectrum) is truly remarkable. Totally recommend it, since Main characters are so diverse in personality that you´ll definitely find a part that resonates with you the most

I was having a shitty day until this dropped, thanks man! I just love how Toaru is just so old and influential in Japan, being almost 19 years old and being the best-selling light novel, that a lot of novels, mangas and animes that came after it drink from it's source. I also love how, being one of the longest running series currently, Toaru has tackled so many genres and plots that many guesses from Luke weren't that far from what happen in some of them (some other guesses, on the other hand...) Characters like Accelerator are so famous and popular that works like Tokyo Ghoul take inspiration in the character for some of their own, be it in design or straight up struggles.

one of the many good things about this series is it doesn't just have magic good science bad or vice versa, both "factions" have good and bad people involved. the magic groups are usually fervent zealots and the science groups generally ignore ethics completely.

[@cabbage_cat]

the 'to aru' franchise is a whole connected universe much like MCU/DCEU each series has different main characters "majutsu" series has mage main characters, majutsu means magic "kagaku" series has esper main characters, kagaku means science there are three main characters for now: 1. To Aru Majutsu no Index has Index and Touma as the MCs 2. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun has Misaka "Railgun" Mikoto as the MC 3. To Aru Kagaku no Accelerator has Ippo "Accelerator" Tsuko as the MC

Hisoka's Bungee Gum from HxH is written as "Elastic Love" ... Take that as you see means.

[@akshayrao110]

This was funny to watch but loved the reaction as always, mate 😂 It's really not uncommon for anime characters to have certain similar looks/designs whether it happened intentionally(Like a nice little Easter egg/reference) or unintentionally. You don't need to look too deeply into that. The three shows are connected in one universe. A Certain Magical Index is the main series with the lead being the guy you called handsome. He's actually the lead of this whole series. A certain Scientific Railgun is a spin-off series with the lead being the girl who can use electromagnetic current to flick and fire coins like a Railgun. A certain Scientific Accelerator is another spin-off with the lead being the guy with white hair who constantly has an insane look on his face. No alternate universe or anything of that sort. Basically, The spin off series exists to give the lead character their own story as well as their perspective on what happened to some of the stories from the main series. There is a guide you can search on how to watch this show in chronological order if you ever plan to watch it since they are connected in one way or the other. Hopefully this helps.

I just love the way the cast size going up fried your brain to the point of elaborating a multiverse theory 😂 As always, spot on regarding quite a few things, but waaaaay off-base regarding a lot, especially the main plot 🤣 Others explained it before me, but "To Aru" means "A Certain", so that's, why you saw no "To Aru" but a mot of "A Certain something something". It's a shared universe between various series, telling the intertwined events happening to a cast of characters from various points of views. Others have likened it to the MCU in terms of structure, and it's rather accurate. Magical Index is about the story from the point of view of Touma, a loser by fate because his superpower is "being unlucky". It is the main series and the others build upon it. Scientific Railgun is about the story from the point of view of Misaka, 3rd most powerful Esper of the Academic City, and most powerful Electromaster. Scientific Accelerator is about Accelerator, top Esper of the Academic City. Not much is known about him, other than he is "invincible", his power being vector manipulation. That's about all I can say about it without spoiling. As far as order goes, chronologically it's Railgun 1, Index 1, Railgun S, Index 2, then you can watch Accelerator, Railgun T or Index 3 in whatever order. My advice: go with the order of release. Much simple that way. And finally, my advice: you should watch it. Like, really. It's one of the big names outside classic nekketsu genre (Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball, Bleach, Fairy Tail, and others like them)

Railgun actually does get pretty dark, ESPECIALLY after the first season. There's an arc (Index actually has a different, similar arc later, but for a character you know only if you've seen Railgun, but the MC doesn't. It hurt me to watch play out) where the main character has to watch as a character we started liking gets brutally murdered, both Railgun and Index have some intense stuff like that and stuff surrounding morality despite starting pretty light and having a lot of jokes XD

[@hexxtheswagger5893]

Ok so basically... A Certain Magical Index is the main story, adapted from a Light Novel. Then there are many side stories like A Certain Scientific Railgun, Scientific Accelerator and others that dont have an anime. All of these revolve about a very scientifically advanced city called Academy City which researches esper powers and is trying to develop them in its students. The main story, Index, is actually about a hidden magic side of the world and its clash with the scientific esper powers. The main character lives in Academy City and meets a girl literally called Index Librorum Prohibitorum (The list of forbidden books) who is from the magic side and some magicians are after her and the 103000 grimoires she has. Although he has neither an esper power neither does he know magic, he has a mysterious power in his right hand that can negate both of the former. And with that power he is trying to do what he believes is good. Basically a scientific city vs a magic society, parts of the magic society battling each other or parts of the scientific city battling each other, with Touma (MC) in the middle of everything. Almost all the spin-offs (all of the adapted ones) are exclusively about the science side in Academy City. They are adapted from manga series written by the original author and drawn by many mangakas. Most of the spin-offs as well as the main story are still ongoing, with Index going on the longest, since 2004. Railgun being about the third best esper, Misaka Mikoto aka Railgun who can manipulate electricity (which has a shitton of use cases not just shocking people and shooting coins xd). Accelerator being about THE best esper who can manipulate any vector he wants and intensively interferes with the city's dark side. As a huge fan of the whole franchise, I belive it is very interestning, Kamachi Kazuma (the LN author) seems to never run out of interesting ideas. The problem is that the anime does not sell it well. Railgun is pretty good if you exclude the filler (second half of season 1 and 2, called Railgun and Railgun S respectively), Accelerator is aight but in this case so is the manga. But Index is quite rushed, especially in the latest season 3. Even then tho, I believe that it can definitelly be enjoyable, in the end, the anime got me into reading all the approx 50 volumes so it definitelly has something in it xd. Damn I always write a lot about Toaru. Oh btw the titles in japanese all start with Toaru, like A Certain... in english, so thats why its called that. Regardless if you decide to react to it, watch it by yourself or not watch it at all, I hope I answered some of your questions without revealing much, and thanks for the reaction ofc xd. Its always great to see new people reacting to Toaru xd.

Toaru expert check

[@hexxtheswagger5893]

LMAO I wrote this in the middle of the video, then went on to do something else and didnt expect what was coming xddd Well yea, completely wrong xdd Some of the characters' designs could be inspired by other works for sure, entirely possible of course, but I dont think they are supposed to resemble anyone, and even if they do, it is not important to the story at all xd. I can see that when you got focused on the idea that they are supposed to look "somehow" like characters from other shows you got stuck to that thought, because anime characters have many similar features and some Toaru designs are pretty generic, the biggest example being the MC Touma. But I 100% agree with Tatemiya looking like the Samurai Champloo guy xd. Not even the alternate reality part is right even tho the anime goes to some heights, its not as high as time travel or alt realities. But yea the OPs dont tell much more than that there are superpowers and fighting nuns xd.

@@andremarques1088 Nice! I hope youll enjoy it and get invested. Starting with Index is good. But one important thing is that all the series are being released at the same time, its not like Index was first and then came Railgun. Index started first but just a few years later Railgun started and since then they run side by side. The anime adaptations also got released one by one. So the watch order i recommend is the release order. Index, Railgun, Index II, Index Movie, Railgin S, Index III, Accelerator, Railgun T.

[@hiiamelecktro4985]

These are kinda 3 interconnected series. I think it’s the closest thing anime got to something like the MCU. (Individual stories that intersect sometimes) Though all of these series (mostly) take place in the same city (the most scientifically advanced city in the world. Mostly populated by researchers and students). So unlike marvel you’re not getting something as wildly different like a ww2 movie like The First Avenger and a space adventure movie like The Guardians. It is interesting though seeing the difference sides of the city and how they interconnect through 3 viewpoints. Magic exists in this world but most people don’t know. So in the Railgun series you explore the scientific side with Mikasa’s crew (the lightning girl) and you explore the Magical underbelly in Index with Toma (the black haired dude). Though again, there is a lot of overlapping in these stories.

[@rafaelcalmon2858]

I'm here hearing "That's the girl from Fairy Tail, right?!" and thinking "Man! I hope he reacts to Edens Zero now XD" In any case, to soothe some of the madness, Index, Railgun and Accelerator are 3 separate series showing different perspectives of events happening within the same story. *1-* Index is the main one, with Touma (black hair guy) and Index (short nun in white habit) as the main characters. *2-* Railgun is a spin-off following Misaka, the girl with eletric powers that shoots the coin like a railgun. *3-* Accelerator is another spin-off following Accelerator, who is the guy with white hair and an electronic collar that looks like he's insane.

[@yanz2501]

One of the anime that I follow every series. Feel like I want to watch it again. I missed Misaka and the whole academy city.

[@ElianaMCP]

As people have explained, these are three different shows happening in the same city/world. The timeline between shows is kinda hard to follow, but I find it's not worth bothering to think about it if you watch each series at once. If you do, you can understand the timeline from the context, like Index episode 1 events taking place during late Railgun season 1, since some scenes are pretty much the same. Personally, I like recommending Railgun first as a whole show in itself, then if the person likes it, they can watch Index seasons 1 and 2, and Accelerator before season 3. Railgun is the most lighthearted-ish of the three, and it introduces the watcher to Academy City. Index introduces the church(es), and by the time one gets to Accelerator, they can understand the nuances on the confusion when both factions meet.

Nice its been awhile since someone make a new reaction on To aru series. Thanks for reacting to their op this series have one of the most complicated power system and plot not to mention there's a lot of side stories/spinoff from both source material "manga/novel" and the anime adaptation.

[@dpolaristar4634]

Some things you are missing. First off this playlist was in a strange order even though they are take place in the same universe (Much like Marvel) they are three different shows not different seasons of the same show, the main difference is which character they follow as the main character, and the other characters will show up in each others spin-offs from time to time and even sometimes show the same arc from a different perspective. Production Wise Index I came first, then Railgun, then Index II, then Railgun S, then Index III, then Accelerator, then Railgun T. That's also why you got a very different vibe with the Accelerator opening it was pasted in the middle of the Railgun ones for some reason. And all the Railgun OPs are done by the same Band fripside, you reading Kadokawa is just the company that own the Franchises and licensed the anime. The Main series is based off a Light Novel Series, and the Spin-offs are from Manga. (There are more spin-offs that do not have an anime yet and neither of the three series have been fully adapted.) A Certain Magical Index is the main series start Kamijou Touma (The blue haired guy that you said picks up all the chicks.) And Index (The Nun girl he is always with at the end of each Index OP) A Certain Scientific Railgun is a spin-off starts Mikoto Misaka the girl that flips the Coins. A Certain Scientific Accelerator is a spin-off starts the White Hair Guy named Accelerator. There are no multiverse shenanigans and its all the same timeline. Also its very common very similar character designs to show up across the industry and some of the stuff you mentioned are similar predates Index but a lot of it came after Index. As for what the franchise as a while is about, basically the main setting is Academy City an U.N private charter Industrial City State filled with Academic Institutions and Research Facilities where their technology is 20 years ahead of the rest of the world. (That is stuff the public sees the cutting edge stuff is even further.) What the City is most well known for is the Esper Power Curriculum where after undergoing a special curriculum Children can basically get a psychic ability where they warp reality in a super specific way. (The Girl with the Coin for example is an Electromaster that can control Electromagnetism her signature move where she flips the coin is her creating a "Railgun" Hence her nickname and the title of her spin-off.) Technically all students in Academy City have an Esper Power but some are so weak as to be useless and they are Level 0's. (The Ranking ranges from Level 0 - 5, with there only being 7 Level 5's of which Mikoto and Accelerator are the #3 and #1 Level 5 respectively.) HOWEVER there is also a secret underground world of the Occult that uses Magic based off Myths and Legends to emulate abilities from Legends, The Also tries to run the scenes from behind the curtain, most people are unaware of the existence of Magic, but there is a secret treaty between the two sides to stay out of each other way and there is a cold war between them. A Certain Magical Index focuses on the Two Sides more evenly and the main character Touma has an ability where his right hand can cancel supernatural powers (Whether its magic or esper powers.) And him getting involved in the two world, both the Magic Side with Underground Cabals and Academy Cities Seedy Underworld. Railgun focuses almost exclusively on the Science Side and Mikoto and her friends adventures in it, which start light hearted but eventually come across said Dark Side. Accelerator focuses on Accelerator himself and is exclusively about the Dark Side of Academy City. The Catchphrase of the series is "When Science and Magic cross paths A Story is Born." Another one often used is "It's Never a Dull Moment in this City." I will warn you the main series Index the anime doesn't do the source material justice, Season 1 and 2 are okay if a bit underwhelming compared to the Novels, Season 3 however is a dumpster fire we pretend doesn't exist. Railgun starts pretty okay but actually gets better and better and is mostly a great adaptation although they add a few anime original arcs and remove some scenes that would have helped the crossover. Accelerator as an anime is pretty good but not perfect but that's because it's better than the Manga spin-off which is honestly pretty bad and needed an edittor, the anime actually fixed a lot of the Manga's problems. Toaru just means "A Certain" as a shorthand for the entire universe (We use to call it Raildex until more spin-offs started coming out.)

[@AmberLoneWolf]

"Scientific Railgun" is about a huge University City that studies children with varying degrees of ESP abilities, and does experiments on them (Science Based). "Magical Index" also is based in the University City and many of the same characters however it focuses on varying ways of magic and spell-casting (Religion Based).

[@rosshaikenleonen1416]

The main character of this anime is the City itself but we're just mostly focused on one character's perspective of the City's story. In the Main story, that would be Kamijou Touma (Spiky hair dude). In the spinoff Railgun series, it would be Misaka Mikoto (the coin flipper). in another spinoff series it would be Accelerator (white hair crazy dude). The thing is, all of those is telling a story centered around 1 thing. The Academy City.

[@Sparrowhawk97]

So this is a franchise. All the stories focus around one city where kids with esper abilities study (and be studied). All the stories are connected but Magical Index is the main story. But I like Railgun more. Railgun follows the girls with esper powers. The main character has electric powers and her signature move is to magnetically fire metal objects (usually coins) hence her nickname and the title being Railgun. Accelerator follows the creepy guy who is also an esper. He messes with the acceleration of things. Anything from redirecting bullets to reversing the blood flow inside the human body. Magical Index follows a guy who has the ability to cancel any supernatural stuff, either esper or magic. He gets paired up with the nun looking girl and dragged into troubles with the secret society of magic. Index focuses mainly on the magic stuff but the guy does get dragged into the events of the other two series. Railgun focuses on the day to day life and struggles of the esper students from the side of good. Accelerator focuses on the darker side of the espers with the main guy not really being a good guy.

[@thewizardninja]

You kind of reacted to this in a weird order, if it were me ordering the playlist I would have done them in release order. That means starting with Index, interspersing with Railgun and finishing with Accelerator. The whole idea is you've got a bunch of series all running at the same time and often intersecting and influencing each other, Index being basically the "main" series and the others supplementing it focusing on different groups of characters in the world.

[@MrAnimeTales]

A nice little thing from the openings is that Index and Railgun's OP overlap at various points. So for example in Index OP 1 when the black haired MC passes the Railgun MC at the vending machine, he carries on walking in his OP then trips over a can, In Railgun op 1the Index MC passes Railgun MC but its from the Railgun MC's perspective this time. Just a nice thing to further highlight how everyone is living their own life but in the same city still.

[@NikoCat11]

"ToAru" series talks about two sides of a society, the science vs magic, with each anime series covering one of the sides. - To Aru Majutsu no Index = Magic side with the protagonists being the black haired guy and the girl called "Index". - To Aru Kagaku no Railgun = Science side with the protagonist being Misaka Mikoto, also known as "Railgun". - The Accelerator one = It's a spinoff about the character known as "Accelerator". Note 1: these series focus on different aspects of the society and have individual stories, but these characters all coexist in the same city, appearing commonly in both stories. - Science side: people with super powers created by technology, these are called "espers". The main city divides espers into power rankings, while the girl "Railgun" and the guy "accelerator" are both some of the only Rank S espers, their top rank. - Magical side: people with magical powers (mages). They live in a hidden society, so the "science side" doesn't know they exist (like in Harry Potter, where wizard society is unknown). Note 2: "Index" is the main story, so it covers up the magical and science part in its story, while "Railgun" is all about the science side (afaik). Note 3: "Railgun" series was created because the character "Railgun" made too much success. Both series are action packaged, with "Index" being more complex and "Railgun" more light-hearted, if that makes sense.

P.S About the guy slipping on a can, that signifies his absolute bad luck. He literally just gets the absolute short end of the stick on everything. It's probably the trade off for having a right hand that literally cancels everything in this world, whether it is magical,scientific or spiritual nature.

It's a world of super powers and magic, the MC has the power to cancel all that shit with his right hand and he doesn't hesitate to punch them girls right in the face.
