No it's different to what you're thinking. I have more of an issue with the narrative device I call "hypercompetence" displayed by characters when Kamachi needs them to solve a problem. I think I might have worded it badly. Pretty much any character can act like an expert on a range of topics if...

Honestly Othinus is more of a gatekeeper for any heroine trying to get close to him than Index is, because she is almost always with him, knows him better than anyone, and is highly possessive of him on top of being one of the few people Kamijou is willing to open up to emotionally. It might be...

TBF one of my issues with Kamachi's writing is that characters can be hypercompetent mega geniuses that can figure out the solution to a problem less than a second or overly emotionally unstable idiots depending on whether the plot needs them too. This isn't limited to the science side either.

Wait until they find out what was probably done to the children in the original Temple of Thelema in Sicily and the implications that has.

I always wondered what the hell happened the the Rensas. Are they just in a fridge somewhere? Did that fridge survive the Heat Wave? Have they even been mentioned since the Agitate Halation arc? I mean I doubt they'll come back, but they are one of those ideas/characters in Toaru that are just...

And to think this woman will bring Academy City to its knees a few weeks after this. "When you experience loss you will become a new woman". The dorm lady's prediction was more correct than she thought.

It's actually unclear to me how much of the Mangas Kamachi actually writes. He seems to just write outlines then the editors and mangakas do the rest, or the mangakas present a plot that he makes corrections to. It certainly doesn't feel like something he's written directly, despite him having...

There was also DA in the Accelerator and Dark Matter Manga. I don't blame you for forgetting about them lol. Apparently their body armor and shields are resistant to esper powers' effects. It's never really made clear how this works. I assume it works like AIM Jammers but on a smaller and less...

Judgement is the individual disciplinary committees of the schools and thus their jurisdiction of actual law enforcement is supposed to be only the school grounds, dormitories, and student bodies their department is assigned to, unless they have permission from Antiskill, or they are in a...

It's less the amount of ecchi but more their age. Most female characters get sexualized and are described in a sexual way in Toaru, a series with an average cast age of around 14, which is already concerning, but Kaai and Youen were young even for the series, and was a significant lowering of...

It's established in New Testament that Shokuhou believes her growth spurt happened because "she's in love", as a response to the fact that Kamijou demeaned her immaturity when she insisted she had adult charm and he essentially told her to come back when you're older, kiddo. It's another example...

She's just dude. She's wholesome chungus.

The big issue with her idea of self improvement is that her idea of self worth is entirely based upon her powers and identity as a Level 5. She's not really changed for the better as a person I think. The reason initially that she got so fixated on Kamijou was that his Imagine Breaker made her...

Not that Shoukuhou's anywhere near normal or even in a positive lifestyle, but she's not currently driving her life off a cliff to the level Misaka is. Shoukuhou's liable to get worse the more legitimate hope she has of being in any sort of a relationship with Kamijou. Kamijou is good for her as...

Most things about the Level 5s are pretty secretive. They are generally a mystery to most of Academy city. Misaka's the most well known one because since she's the one that comes off as the most outwardly sane and has a power that isn't particularly scary and is easy to understand. She's also a...

Hey man I'm only still reading this series to see how far Kamachi can stretch it until it collapses under its own weight. There's no way this series is going to end in anything other than a confusing trainwreck and you know it. But that's why we all love it, don't we? Just let me lord over the...

You're just realizing all of that now? You anime-onlies are something else lol. Gemstones have been a concept since forever, the anime just skipped over their introduction as a concept. One of the current Level 5s (Sogiita Gunha) is a Gemstone. There's only a few dozen at most in the entire...

There must be tens of thousands of black-haired Japanese women in lab coats in Academy City. Probably gets easy to mix them up lol.
