Toaru Series All Openings Reaction 

i have never clicked so fast, this is my favorite series

Long story short with no spoilers, there are 3 separate but related "A Certain" (aka Toaru) series - Magical Index, Scientific Railgun, and Scientific Accelerator. You'll see a lot of familiar characters cross over between them, but each series focuses primarily on a different character or group. There is a very general Magic vs Science theme, with lots of different powers. Openings definitely looked out of order =)

I think the playlist you watched has the OPs in chronological order of the story, instead of release date. Index is the actual main show, it's about science/esp versus religion/magic. Railgun is a spinoff about the electric girl with the coin, a popular side character from index. And Accelerator is a spinoff about the guy with the earpiece and crutch, a popular villain turned anti-hero from index (hence the more gruesome imagery in that OP). Hope that clears it up a little haha.

Man, hearing these songs made me realize how long it has been since i watched one of their series.This show would be like "academy for the gifted"(super powers) but more of on a city scale And for the "index, railgun and accelerator" is for the characters, they focus on their pov or story.

16:46 the coins are iconic for her, but not really important since she could replace them with any metallic thing. But the Arcade coins are what she always carries handy.

this series is very briefly magic vs science and there are multiple spinoffs with side characters from the main series being main characters

The "To aru" anime is one of the first anime I've watched and the openings have a special place in my heart, not only because it's nostalgic in a certain way but also because they are really good. Mami Kawada is a legend.

With it being in chronological order Railgun comes first because it's always a little bit behind and sometimes follows the girl's perspective in certain arcs. Accelerator is the more grittier side of the series, Railgun is the more crime and lower scale side, and Index is the one that goes everywhere while before reaching some kind of avengers level threat that includes the other protagonists. They all crossover and tease at future stuff but Index is the one where actual progress in the world happens.

I absolutely love this series❤ I saw the thumbnail, and I immediately clicked the video.

Toaru majutsu no index is a light novel series that (together with ALL of its spin-offs like Railgun, Accelerator and others that have yet to receive an anime adaption) are sometimes seen as the anime equivalent of the MCU. Each character is their own main character and there are events where the protagonists of each series meet up. Index generally follows the story of the normal highschool boy that you can find anywhere, Kamijou Touma and his involvement with both the Science side and Magic side. The preview of each episode sums it up well, when magic and science collide, a story is born. Toaru kagaku no railgun is a manga spin-off of Index which focuses on Misaka Mikoto, the #3 level 5 esper of Academy City. She has the power to control electricity and her signature move, the railgun is used by firing a magnetic object (usually the arcade coin) with Lorenz force. The anime adaption added quite a bit of filler into seasons 1 and 2 and even introduced characters way earlier than the manga intended. Also because of the manga, a minor scene in Index was retconned but it doesn't hurt the narrative at all. Toaru kagaku no Accelerator is a manga spin-off of Index which focuses on #1 Level 5 esper of Academy City, Accelerator. Generally regarded as the worst spin-off due to not expanding on their character and instead introduced inconsistencies to the plot. The anime improved on the manga but IMO it isn't worth reading after where the anime stops. It is the only series I've read that manages to incorporate both science and magic well. The author Kazuma Kamachi goes into in depth research to make sure that both power systems are well defined and operated. Esper powers are either natural (Gemstones) or artificially obtained through the experimentation of Academy City and they operate on quantum physics and Schrodinger's cat. Note, the science side is not only made of espers, but the technology of Academy City which is 20-30 years ahead of the rest of the world. The magic side is run by multiple organisations called cabals, each with their own agenda. Magic is used through Idol Theory, where making a miniature replica of a thing in religion, myths, fairy tales, etc and knowing the ritual allows you to draw a fraction of power from the legend. An example would be a cross, a cross is where the son of God was crucified and as such if you know the proper procedure, you can draw some power from that. The closer your object is to the actual, the stronger the effects. I tried to sum up as much as possible without any spoilers, I hope you enjoy it. If you are interested, the Index anime is a bad adaptation of the light novels which is heavily recommended instead. Personally I recommend the release order of the anime, Index 1 > Railgun 1 > index 2 > Railgun 2 > Accelerator > Index 3 > Railgun 3

22:28 "The vocals on this man, phew" Man...RIP Maon Kurosaki

The main story is the A Certain Magical Index. A Certain Scientific Railgun, A Certain Scientific Accelerator are spin offs with characters that you meet in Index. Other people in comments say that these series are a Magic vs. Science (mostly seen in Index) These are definitely showing in story order, not release order. Release order is Index, Railgun, Accelerator.

Misaka mikoto can magnet herself onto a building if she needs to break a fall. not to mention her friend Kuroko who can just teleport her. Accelerator (White haired boy) is the most powerful of all of them by a very wide margin. his power is Vector manipulation. if you know what a vector is, think about what that means. He can alter any vector he touches. this means the force of an attack means nothing to him.

They are in the weirdly correct order of watching.

The non spoiler plot of this anime is basically science vs magic

the ops is in chronological order

Toaru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magical Index) is the original series. All other are spin-offs but still cannon. If you are planning to watch, then watch them in release order.

To sum up this series as best as I can. A Certain Magical Index tells the story of a boy named Touma Kamijou who has the ability to cancel out any and all supernatural powers, whether it be magical or sceintific. The story is set in Academy City a city of science with technology 30 years ahead of the rest of the world. One day Touma meets a mysterious nun only known as Index (the titular character of the show) who is being chaced by sorcerers. A Certain Scietific Railgun is a side story focusing on the brown-haired girl with electric powers who is a major character in Index. A Certain Scientific Accelrator in another side story which focuses on the white-haired boy who is one of the most popular villains turned Anti-hero in the story.

Eyyy finally it's here, the reaction to my favorite series❤❤ Guessing what the anime about is impossible just by watching the op so i don't think there's no need to worry about being spoiled

What is toaru The story is set in Academy City, a highly advanced city where 80% of its citizens are students with supernatural abilities. The main character, Toma Kamijo, is a student with the ability to negate any supernatural powers, making him immune to magic and psychic abilities. He becomes involved in various conflicts between different factions and organizations within Academy City, as well as supernatural beings from outside the city. What toaru does is give certain characters spin offs toaru majutsu no index is the main show and the others are spin offs

Some confused part can explain by one keyword: cloning. The coin girl aka railgun is one of the seven lv5(Known as some strongest in sience side), and the crazy white-hair with collar is the strongest lv5, aka Accelerator. So here comes the dark part, some craziest scientist came up a plan to make him level up to lv6, by killed coin girl seven times. That was impossible, so they decided to cloning the railgun 20,000+ times.These cloning aka Sisters are not strong as the origin(about lv2~3), but they got number to be killed. Till the railgun series started, the Accelerator had killed over 10000+, almost one or two sisters per days. In Index series, Accelerator was stopped by Touma(Main Charactor), the plan was banished. This event officially start the conncetion between Index and Railgun storys, although railgun had knew Touma even before that. After that, Accelerator met the No.20,001 cloning, the little girl known as the Last Order, started a family relationship with her.Later he was shot on head while try to save Last Order, the bullet not took his life but destroyed his calculate ability to live normally or using power, here he started to use the collar to borrow sister's thoughts internet( every sisters connect each with brain waves, shared the thinking and memories, the Last Order were like command tower ) to live, even using power(12:38 the redlight means he take back power till collar ran out battery).

I love toaru series!and the music.The group fripside is the best❤

This is the series where the fans of it will make a cult

I think gigguk's video on The Fascinating World of Index/Railgun provides a good idea of the premise the entire story is based on if you're interested

When magic and science cross paths a story is born

about to aru series, they are from the same universe and in that world they have two major power that is magic and science (esper). at the begining they mainly lived in academy city in this case in science side. for simple index is the main series that include all, more focus in magic side. railgun is about the bright side of academy city but slowly touching the dark side. and accelerator is about his redemption arc and his focus more into the city dark side.

Both 'A Certain Scientific Railgun' and 'A Certain Scientific Accelerator' are spin-off series from the main series 'A Certain Magical Index' which has 3 seasons. The series as a whole is a mix of Science and Technology vs Religion and Magic. It's a very interesting fusion. Within each of these groups there are multiple factions and they don't necessarily agree with one another which is where you see the fighting take place between them. Sometimes it will be the science people vs the religious people and sometimes it will be the science people vs the science people and the religious people vs the religious people.

A certain magical index is one of the light novels which make “animes” and light novels more popular.

RIP Maon Kurosaki, Singer of Toaru Magical Index III op 1 and op 2😢😭

Sad thing is the singer of the Index series, Maon Kurosaki passed away at February.

Next year is the 20th anniversary of the RailDex series it was a light novel that released in 2004

Believe it or not, this playlist was actually missing the Railgun OVA opening, lol. Great reaction, enjoyed your thoughts.

Bcuz of you I'm rewatching this series this week 😁

This animation depicts a student being pushed around with the machinations of adults.

Thank you for your reaction. The To Aru Franchise or A Certain Franchise is a multi-anime cinematic universe with the 3 main characters having their own anime series that lightly interweave into each other. For a total 6 and half seasons plus a movie. Best described as Anime: The Anime. For better or worse, every trope known to anime is at full force here and it often plays with them pretty well. From a city of Super advanced technology populated by pyschic powered X-Men, and secret organizations of ancient magic sorcerers, political conspiracies, human experimentation, fun slice of life antics, mechs, SWAT Teams, and battle nuns! The A Certain Magical and Scientific Animes are filled with action, comedy, and fan service and are overall are just whole a lot of fun. The franchise also has multiple different series of light novels and Mangas that all starting as far back back in 2004 with first anime season releasing in 2008.

The watch order is pretty debatable, so I wouldn't worry to much about people telling you what is the correct order.

When you seen the series you realize the happy sounding music is just to cover how dark this story gets sometimes

magic and science chose your side😆

My favourite anime of all time

One of my favorite Animes a must watch when you get to it.

Toaru Majutsu no Index is the main series, Railgun and Accelerator are one of its Spin-offs that got anime. But the most curious thing is that all the spin-offs are connected to the main story, as they take place in the same universe, in the same timeline but with different perspectives that generate different stories. Its basic premise is Science vs Magic. The story takes place within a city called Academy City, a city that is 30 years advanced compared to the rest of the world. This city creates Espers based on scientific experiments. The way they classify Espers is by levels that goes from 0 to 5 . With 0 being the "weakest" and 5 being the strongest . Well, in Toaru Majutsu no Index we have Kamijou Touma as the protagonist (the boy with the spiky black hair). A level 0 who lives in Academy City and has a mysterious "power" capable of nullifying anything supernatural. One day he meets a nun named Index who claims to be a mage and that she carried 103,000 magical grimoires in her mind. And that's when Science and Magic intersect, the story begins. In Railgun we have Misaka Mikoto (the girl with brown hair) as the protagonist. one of the 7 Level 5's witnessing the dark side of academy city. And in Accelerator we have Accelerator as the protagonist (the boy with white hair) the strongest level 5 in the academy city that belongs to the Dark side.

True Timeline op Index (2008) OP 1 - Psi-missing OP 2 - masterpiece Railgun (2009) OP 1 - Only my railgun OP 2 - Justligh level 5 Railgun ova (2010) OP OVA - Future gazer Index II (2010) OP 1 - No but!

its about a clash between science (all of the main character is esper) versus magician or between esper (victim of the experiment) too, sometimes between normal ppl. not all magician is bad, especially the girl with white nurse dress named index. so far there are 3 POV. Index (the black guy & nurse girl), railgun (orange haired schoold girl & her gang) and accelerator (the white haired villain with handicaped stick).

Read my full comment / This is the correct order in this anime series / According to the events of the story 1- A Certain Magical Index / The hero of the anime is his name: Touma Kamijou 2- A Certain Scientific Railgun / Openings 1-6 + OVA / The heroine of the anime the anime girl her name is: Mikoto Misaka 3- A Certain Scientific Accelerator Opening / The hero of the anime is his name: Accelerator 4- To Aru Majutsu no Index Imaginary Fest openings 1-2 / openings mobile game

a railgun is a weapon that accelerates a metal object at high speed with electro magnetism a metal object like a 100 yen coin for example ^-^

Railgun -> Railgun S -> Index 1 -> Accelerator -> Index 2 -> Index movie -> Railgun T -> Index 3 🎉🎉❤❤

put simply the to aru series is consisted of a certain magical index, a certain scientific railgun and a certain scientific accelerator (The goat) the scientific ones are spin offs of the magical one which is the main thing. in that world there is two different power scales one dealing with espers which is scientifically made magicians basically and then theres religion which has magic and it can be basically anything because its based off of different religions. For example there's a dude that's Aztecan and uses an obsidian knife like they used to perform sacrifices. Academy city is the main area the anime takes place and that's where all the espers are and they have levels based off of strength with level 5 being nigh unimaginable strength to everyone below and level 0 being virtually no powers at all. the main character (the guy with spiky black hair) is deemed a level 0 and he's also extremely unlucky for reasons that are episode 1 spoilers. this anime is one of my favorites and although i haven't read them myself I've seen some of the things from the light novel and it gets GOOD so if you have free time i recommend it

Welcome to Anime's Version of the MCU A certain magical index and scientific railgun both take place at the same time They exist in the same universe city

Don't listen to some dumb comments of Anime only Railgun and other spin off focuses on Science side but Index focuses on both Magic and Science so don't listen to those comments. Index is the main story so it actually gives world building.

Basically it's one series, one story told from the perspectives of 3 characters. Railgun is told from the perspective of Misaka, the girl with the lightning powers and it is rooted in the science fiction aspect of the world Index is told from the perspective of Touma, the black haired boy, which is more about the magic aspect of the world. And Accellerator, told from the white haired psychotic looking guy. Edit: the openings are in order of the chronological timeline of the show. You were confused at one point because it was Season 2 opening 1, not season 1 opening 1. Yes it gets confusing at times but it's soooo worth it.

The Toaru series is a very big series that started with a light novel: A Certain Magical Index, and then spawned tones of other spin offs such as A Certain Scientific Railgun and A Certain Scientific Accelerator. The main concept of the series is science versus magic. I really would recommend you reacting to Gigguk's video on the Toaru series.

Gigguk actually described the series perfectly. The structure of this anime is more akin to the Marvel shared universe. Like each 3 to 5 episodes could be their own movie and follow a different character and tackle different genres. Like a few episodes could be given to a nun with her own story, then a magician, police, clones, espers, vampires and everything is happening in the same city, plus the same events could be seen from different perspectives in other seasons.

With things like this, I would look up the "watch order" and compare that to the playlist you find, just so you know you have the right content. This playlist looks like a "chronological order" playlist, which is 100% for me, as I watched it like that, for the most dramatic, emotional effect. The Railgun/Index/Accelerator anime universe is all so intertwined, I made SURE of the chronological order of watching, and then watched all three together. If you wanna have a long form set of content for your channel, the Toaru Continuum is a pretty wonderful one to react to. It is beloved, it is SUPER interesting, it ain't too....vivid, like some anime, there is a LOT of lighthearted, fun scenarios and a good amount of serious af, life-and-death stakes, while the world around the characters does atually change with their actions. There is some death, but not too much trauma. As you saw, the OST is insane. Watch it, online or offline, and see for yourself. You WILL care a lot for most of these characters, maybe even a murderer or two.

The black haired boy is the original main character of the "universe" and his whole thing is his right hand nullifies anything supernatural magic or psychic based. Sadly it also nullifies his luck. He is considered a level 0 psychic but he deals with magic stuff mostly. The Brown hair electric girl is the second MC and recurring character in the original story. Also the biggest Tsundere. She is the 3rd strongest psychic in the city. The last major MC is the white haired black shirted (later white shirted) boy which was an antagonist to the first two in an earlier arc. While the other two are "good guys" hes the one that walks the line at best. He, when at full power, is the strongest psychic in the city

Gaz, the To Aru series contains 3 separate stories happening in the same futuristic city at the same time. The characters of all 3 series interact constantly and are definitely connected to each other. It's got action, suspense, slice of life, superhero style-stuff and a heckuvalot more. The 3 series are ... A Certain Scientific Railgun - which revolves around the young girls (the one with the coin is the MC) you saw in the first video. A Certain Magical Index - which revolves around the black-haired boy, the little nun and their crew. A Certain Scientific Accelerator - which revolves around the white-haired boy (a series favorite of many) and his cast of characters I won't tell you about because they're a definite storyline spoiler. It's a fantastic shared universe and highly recommended.

"Toaru" roughly translates as "A Certain" The various branches of the series share this start to their names; A Certain (Magical Index/Scientific Railgun/Scientific Accelerator). They very much DO have powers, and from multiple different sources/systems. Index was the first, in it you encounter various characters, the other series are told from the point of view of those secondary characters. They take VERY different angles and tones in their approach to the same world. Railgun is fairly light hearted, Index moves between light hearted humor and some pretty serious topics, and Accelerator is pretty heavy. All 3 do both serious and comedy, but while Accelerator stacks bodies with casual disdain, the other two are much more reserved and treat death as a serious event.

The Index series is the main storyline, railgun and accelerator are series base on what the main side characters are doing when not together with the MC on the main series

It is kinda funny how phrase "she is his younger sister", in regards to small girl, is corect, but in VERY different way then what you think

A few years back the RU-vid channel Gigguk did a good non-spoiler explainer video, “The Fascinating World of Index/Railgun”, it is definitely worth a watch and worth reacting to.

ToAru series is just the best. Index is the main series. Essentially, it's about science/espers versus religion/magic. Railgun and Accelerator are spin-offs and take different POV. Railgun focuses on the more scientific side and the mortality of scientific experiments. Accelerator is, personally, for character development for Accelerator.

About the armband on the girl's school uniform, well, basically here In Japan, it is the sign if they are a leader of student council and even a school club. ^^ Simple as that. Nothing else.

Always prefered the railgun series the most, but I would say everything is worth a watch!

All openings were right. The dark one with white haired dude just had English title. Toaru majutsu no index - A certain magical Index (main one. Protagonist - Touma, black haired ordinary looking dude) Toaru kagaku no Railgun - A certain scientific Railgun (spin-off. Protagonist - Misaka, brown haired girl with electric powers) Toaru kagaku no Accelerator - A certain scientific Accelerator (spin-off. Protagonist - Accelerator, white haired crazy looking dude and yeah his name is Accelerator)

I'm aware you watched these quite a while ago but are there any plans to actually watch the shows or is this going to be an opening only thing?

ok so the girl with the coin is basically a human rail gun with her powers and the coin is her bullet

I've heard so much of this series I'm honestly surprised I know barely anything about it. Day Toaru's manga was published by Dengeki of asking for the Tsukihime/Melty Blood openings

you going to do a reaction to those three-anime series it is worth it for sure. Not often you have three anime series based in the same world.

Basically our typical world, involving sects that use magic, and scientific city (where most story is oriented) where smart schoolkids are mentally unstabilized to produce high-power espers with single ability. Toaru series has nothing as set 1 main character. You could say probably black hair guy is most involved in other people mess, but there is several plotlines of different sides working at once and meeting at certaion points. Also some people switch sides etc, so its kinda difficult to keep track on what is going on at start.

im very biased as this is my absolute favourite series of all time but i highly highly recommend it. just make sure u watch in chronological order it clears stuff up and makes stuff so much more exciting

If you really want to know about this series, because it is very interesting, I would highly recommend Gigguk’s video on the Index series.

The characters are all really good, the story is a bit also, even if a bit hard to get into at the start. The scale of it may be the reason its so underrated in the west

Series is amazing, The LN's are God Tier. One of the best arc's in the anime is gonna be in Railgun S. Misaka Best girl. Pretty much sums up the series. Oh and watch out for Othinus.

You should watch it just for the sheer creativity of powers in the show. The openings keep it pretty vague of what their powers are since a lot of them are related to the natural sciences.

don't worry, the opening actually the right order following order of arc. But the anime was aired in different date/year. Imaginary fest OP is a game. And after that is opening you play is Railgun S3 OP2. then finally Imaginary fest OP2

Cool reaction again. Watching you guess what's happening in the openings are always interesting. Though I'm curious about a statement. Where you were hesitant about calling a character cool because he was a bad guy. I think it's fine if you think a bad guy is cool? I'm sure we won't flame you for it lol.

Finally...Toaru reaction😂

Accelerator best character lvl 5 top academy city

Late to the party This is the first playlist that gives the opening in a chronological timeline order from the main story and the spin offs. The setting is that I’m Academic City they give the students with science and education. Esper powers at the same time religions still have influence but in comparison use real magic

she flicks the coin

It's a pity that I didn't watch the opening of оva on the railgun :(

Letsgooooooo❤❤❤❤❤❤

Funny enough The chaotic order of this playlist goes hand in hand with absolute madness of this anime's world

Highly recommend to watch it👍 In case of how the story goes for both sides,try to memorize the timelines...plus I prefer Kagaku more interesting than Index...But Touma's origin are important

POG

welcome top the series that confused the hell out of me in what order to watch, it's still good though. Especially accelerator

chances are if an opening shows someone shooting lasers and controlling electricity, then yes they have powers

Always good to see my favorite niche anime getting some love. I don't recommend reacting to it though.

someone tried to put the OPs into "chronological" story order... it's not completely right, but it's close enough. The problem of course is you're dealing with a primary source (Index) and 2 manga spinoffs which were produced at separate times with input from the author of the primary series. So there isn't a perfect correlation. This also causes problems with the anime adaptions, as the manga to anime adaptions for Railgun and Accelerator were much better on the whole then the LN to anime adaption for Index. but this also causes problems because the manga for railgun serialized after the first season of index (anime) aired, so the weird adaption issues index had, became cannon in the manga adaption, which seemed to draw inspiration from the anime for the world... and the anime wasn't a great adaption of the light novels. -To explain the problem, the Light novels are a CYBERPUNK meets Ars Magica (1980s RPG) meets Rifts (80's RPG) inspired world. But the anime adaption sort of fumbled the world, turning it into sort of a hyper futuristic tokyo not a world of cyberpunk. So you have cyberpunk story elements and themes, mixed in with magical occult stuff and super powered battles in a city that looks like you'd get arrested for jay walking or spitting your gum on a sidewalk for. It just is a visual cognitively dissonant world. -Sadly the manga for Railgun borrowed heavily from the artistic interpretation of the anime, and as a result that version of the world became sort of cannon.

Railgun is not the first opening it's magical index is the first opening

Toaru is a bit complex to explain and I will not give any spoilers. I just started railgun which is great but I understand that different aspects of the show is not to everyones liking. I do enjoy the balance of humor, epic aspects and various character development. I like the Toaru concept of the story but I also realize that some people will not like everything of it. Given your comments I think you will enjoy to at least try it. Have fun!

Seriously dude. You must watch them. Especially railgun series. These anime tagline is '' when the magic and science world collided. I recommend index season 1 first then railgun series 1 and 2. After that up to you.

Shakugan no Shana OPs please. Old but gold

what was that last opening? i dont remember, is that a new season or what? ?_?

Is about cienci and magic

Without our spoiling for you some characters may be Young or older than you think lol

Fripside good song for game osu!

Haha there are 3 animes in the same universe, Two of them have 3 seasons (2 openings each), the whole list is a mess but hey, there no context at all sooo... its fine i guess. The main story is "to aru majutsu no index". To aru scientific no Railgun and Accelerator are spin-off. The series are great, however its humor might be outdated these days. (i mean, it has many l0li jokes that were popular in the 2000s).

Are they in the right order? No, but chronologically it gets difficult anyway - Index and Railgun are happening in the same place around the same time but following different characters, some of the arcs are even the same but from different perspectives I love this series (mainly the Railgun half) and when its following the books/manga its really good, but if have to admit there is a TON of filler and anime original story arcs which let it down somewhat

Well it’s clear you are very confused. Man I was obsessed with the Toaru series in the day, mainly the primary Index series. Never cared too much about Railgun. Accelerator was a nice side story. The Index anime takes forever to release though 😐 I mean many years between releases.

Can you please do the Naruto Shippuden endings??
