I like this version more than the anime
Great new chapter. Acqua getting the justice he deserves in the manga
Manga has better fight choreography and pacing and also provides better explanation behind what’s going on.
Anime is a boring rush job with the characters speeding through their lines and explanations.
Light novel doesn’t specify how many more blows they exchanged after the third while they were in the air(http://imgur.com/NjDlzyf)
This scene is cool, it looks like they took a lot of cuts before falling.
I don't remember if it happened in the novel but if not, it's a good addition.
William and Knight Leader charged in straight at each other and Ascalon and Hrunting struck each other. Despite the simplicity of the action, the aftereffects that spread about the area were tremendous.
With a few moments of delay, an explosive wind blew out.
Along with a tremendous roar, a dome-shaped shockwave spread out with the two men at the center. An explosive storm spread out in an area with a radius of 100 meters and blew away the fully equipped knights. Trees were torn to pieces, the mountain surface crumbled, and the paved mountain path shattered as if it had been made of glass.
However, by the time the shockwave had expanded, the two men were nowhere to be seen.
They had leapt up into the night sky.
With a slight delay, the sound of their footsteps resounded through the darkness like gunshots. At almost 10 meters in the air, the giant swords struck twice and then a third time. The sparks looked like flashes of lightning and the knights saw the shockwaves spreading out spherically like fireworks.
Someone gave out a cry.
Someone bent over so as not to take as much damage.
The spiral of shockwaves knocked them back evenly.
“I see.”
Knight Leader landed on the very top of a thick tree and looked down at his pathetic subordinates.
That was most likely why William Orwell had let the third princess escape ahead of him. It wasn’t because he would have trouble fighting while defending her, and it wasn’t because he was heroically planning on protecting the princess to his last breath. He was simply taking measures against foolishly killing the very person he was trying to protect with his own strength.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the Kazakiri vs Gabriel battle adapts, although that will take a long time as it happens xdAnother detail I love about the Index manga, whenever a mage is revealing whatever legend their magic is based on, you get these dope artworks depicting the myth.
This chapter alone was full of them between Williams Great Sword Ascalon and Knight Leader’s Hrunting,
Going to be awkward too introducing Gabriel with how the Index manga skipped the entire Angel Fall arcI'm looking forward to seeing how the Kazakiri vs Gabriel battle adapts, although that will take a long time as it happens xd
Yeah, maybe the mangaka leaves a note but it will be strange.Going to be awkward too introducing Gabriel with how the Index manga skipped the entire Angel Fall arc
“Toaru series is totally DEAD these days gaiz!!”
Oh look, series still popular enough to pump out another spin-off
Index was never all that big in the West where Railgun is generally more liked thanks to the Railgun manga releasing much earlier than any other Toaru series, before even Funi picked up the license in fact, and the better quality anime it gets.I think it's just in some of the western countries that To Aru lacks steam. Over there in Asia it seems to be a very big thing.
It's relative, that is, as an adaptation and animation it was horrible but it sold very well on DVD/BD and it was the most watched anime that year in China.Only thing dead is probably any hope of future anime adaptations of Index now that Index III was a flop.
Really? I thought with the amount of online backlash Nishikiori was getting from even Japanese viewers meant that the anime didn’t sit well even over there.It's relative, that is, as an adaptation and animation it was horrible but it sold very well on DVD/BD and it was the most watched anime that year in China.
In fact, the ToAru anime that sold the least was Accelerator and it seems to me that it still sold more than the ChainsawMan DVD/BD in Japan (I don't even understand it since I thought the ChainsawMan anime was a good one).
It may not have gone down well with the public, but they still saw it and bought it xdReally? I thought with the amount of online backlash Nishikiori was getting from even Japanese viewers meant that the anime didn’t sit well even over there.
I’ll admit that I bought the Index III DVDs myself but only to go with my Toaru media collection. DVD Part 2 I still haven’t even opened up yet XD
I can see Chainsaw Man being divisive with how raunchy and gory it is.
