(L) To Aru Kagaku no Accelerator - Manga Discussion

[Kuroageha]

Well the same happened with Railgun manga that originally was a Kuroko spin off that had the script changed to feature Misaka as mc due to her popularity.

True, Accel is quite popular, though I wasn't expecting this.

Maybe the idol spinoff might get an anime too.

Knowing Kamachi.exe if manga has not enough material
He probably write whole new arc for anime

[Kuroageha]

I have the feeling the studio might try to reintroduce us to Accel and LO relationship by rehashing Tender or Sweet chapter.

[alex_drian]

I think the first arc only can give 12/13 episodes, but true, in Railgun they have a original arc. All is up to the studio.

Btw, I just realized that the designs are different to the normal style and are those of the manga, which seems weird to me because is the same studio, but I suppose is fine?

In SS Saintia Sho I give them a lot of shit for use the Araki designs instead of the beautiful original designs, but really here I would have liked the anime designs.

[Kuroageha]

From that short PV they've shown it looked more stylised than the manga designs.

They look as current manga designs but in the beginning they were shit.

[Liuen]

Just realized something.
I was rereading the first arc in preparation for the anime, and I have the confess that the first time the Kabbalah stuff flew completely over my head. But after reading the latest arc in the novels, things make a scary amount of sense.

First, Isaac wanted to become a god and transcend. How? By sublimating body and soul. The sublimation of the soul was made through the ascension of the Sephiroth. But when he tried, he was contacted by a "self-proclaimed demon". Now, which demon do we now that resides in the Sephiroth?

Spoiler for Spoiler:

That's right, people. It was all Coronzon trying to fuck with Aleister (again) by luring a crazed magician to his city. Further, the method was her standard: promise great power while not telling them the risks and using good forces (Hishikata's desire to save his sister) to creat bad results (a man-eating monstrosity).

But wait, there's more! The key of the plan was the use of the Misaka Network, because it had the necessary elements to reach Keter. More foreshadowing for the fact that the Misaka's themselves could become a tree, since they had both the structure, the purpose (Clonoth, the artificial) and were only lacking a demon who acted as the guide.

Kamachi's foreshadowing are on another level even when it's inter-series.

I really have to give props to this post, Liuen. While this manga's credibility is basically in the gutter with its horrendous pacing, you've at least been able to prove that there is a bigger point to it and its relation to the main series.

Even with the knowledge of Coronzon existing and the mention of the demon, I couldn't really link the two of them without a purpose. Turns out I was missing the deeper understanding of how Coronzon operates and some of the details regarding Thelema.

Bravo.

I stopped reading the manga after the first arc was over. Is there someone that is up to date? Is it worth catching up, or it's still really slow, and mostly boring?

[KiharaRonin]

I'm up to date and I think its kinda slow but also an interesting read. I'd catch up on it and make your own opinion because while I like it, I don't really know how common an opinion that is. This arc is an improvement on the first Arc in some ways but the first arc also had some cooler concepts.

[LevelSeven]

Ch59 is out and im still wondering what the people behind this manga are thinking,

this has to be one of the worst spin offs i have ever seen, not because of the art even if that one is a real weakness,

what i hate more than anything is this plot that basically has nothing to offer, even astral buddy has a more interesting plot going on and that series i first thought to be a short joke series instead of anything serious.

[ghost013]

I keep seeing posts about the manga ending, but I haven’t been able to find any official sources that confirm it. Is it true?

[devil_slayer]

Yeah the manga is ending next month I think.

[OH&S]

Good. This spinoff has far outstayed its welcome. Give us a Dark Matter continuation instead.

[ghost013]

To be honest, Dark Matter wasn’t all that much better than Accelerator. Granted it was only one volume, but based on what I read, poor pacing, disappointing villain, plot that went nowhere, little character development, etc. The only thing better it did was the art.

[devil_slayer]

Astral buddy manga is also apparently ending soon.

Either they are doing a cleanup or Toaru is ending soon.

If Index was ending they wouldn't have started GT.

Accel manga ending makes sense since there aren't many more stories they can do within the timeline.

Anything they want to do with Astral Buddy they can just do in Railgun. They might even want to try some new mangas with other characters as well.

Dark Matter to me was a glorified oneshot; a proof of concept that demonstrated that you could have Kakine as a protagonist and have things that fans would want some expansion on (his character and backstory). It demonstrated that well; that there's something worth exploring.

Accelerator never did that. Accelerator being an edgy powerhouse wasn't what made him a compelling character; it was his gradual character development from an irredeemable monster to a genuine human/hero by the end of OT and his bond with Last Order.

This manga focused more on him being the edgy powerhouse/monster and otherwise did nothing. The Necromancer Arc was interesting in its display of Necromancy, Accelerator's first encounter with magic, his bizarre relationship with the Sisters, his brutal take-down of the Scavengers, the first manifestation of his black wings; and was half decent foreshadowing to how the Coronzon incident would be resolved in NT22. It just didn't need 7 volumes to tell that story.

Onthe other hand, the Nectar Arc has been a complete waste of time. The only interesting that came out of it was the panel with the heroes and the hero seats because it was the only thing to link back to his character struggles from OT.

Now that's actually surprising. I thought it was well received. Are we sure it's not just the arc's climax? There's potential for more story afterwards.

If Accel and AB are both ending, then once Railgun's current arc ends (as well as Railgun T), the franchise will be moving into a new era/phase spearheaded by a focus on GT, Index manga and Railgun.
