yea i remembered when it was on CN, ugh…i flipped the channel everytime, i couldnt fucking stand that shit, it was so random. but yet everyone at school was all over its nuts.
now SKIP BEAT is overlooked, how many dam sequals and spin offs has index gotten? can you really call that overlooked? i hate that anime, it seems to be all about mikasa and those stupid ass robots, season 1 was decent because i thought the show would be about…INDEX…lol. Skip beat was so much more enjoyable to watch, but that never got the 2nd season it deserved.
More than likely they’re not a genre that you’re interested in (neither am I particularly), but all have done relatively well in reaching the Western anime market. Another few examples of seasons released that year was Code Geass R2 (which, admittedly is also quite good) as well as the Soul Eater manga.
Well, Index got the Railgun side-arc to introduce Judgement, as well as some other plot points relevant later. Season 2 is entirely focused on Index. The next series will also be heavily focused on her.
Well, on the one hand you’ve just helped support the point I was making in that other series released that year have reached more acclaim so I guess I can thank you for that.
What’s wrong with enjoying the source material though? That’s like saying anyone who reads the manga an anime is based off is a nerd for not wanting to watch a pretty video of the same thing.
Well, you could make the argument anything not called Naruto, Bleach or One Piece is overlooked, but 1/8th of the novels being made into anime is a lot better than 0/8. Considering the average show only gets 1 season, multiple seasons (including western release), and a plethora of merchandise makes it relatively well known.
Nigga hush, I’m just fucking with Warp, I don’t give shit either way about what anyone watches. That reminds me, gotta download the new C3 this week, but fucking Animetosho was acting weird for me. Did anyone else have problems with it?
I guess when you look at it like that it’s certainly doing a lot better than say Pandora Hearts. But at the same time, it’s only recently seen a Western sub release, with a dub release a long way off.
Actually, I’m sub-4-life (inb4 homo). Dub releases for Western markets (at least from what I’ve seen) are usually what help series to grow in popularity.
I see people talkin about Index and Rail Gun all the time. Couple weeks ago Eldergod was posting bitches gettin beat down in Index in the Lounge.
I watched most of the first season of Index back in 08 and it did nothing for me so I haven’t watched any more of it. I just like that the MC is more well known for busting bitches in the mouth then anything else.
Haha, well when his entire ‘power’ is based on punching things and 80% of the cast are women you see some crazy stuff. Evidently the series isn’t well-received by you SRK folks. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I’m just surprised that it isn’t particularly well-liked. What put you off the first season?
