Actually, Touma is not really rewritten in the anime/manga of Railgun. He just has less air time in this series The first “actual” fight between Touma and Misaka happened before Index started (SPOILER: if the anime follows the manga, Touma will once again make a cameo appearance, in which Misaka will challenge her again, episode 2 of Index if I’m not mistaken) which probably hints that the anime will not much deviate from the story itself. Not to mention, retain Touma’s character (which people describe as an annoying preacher)

To be honest, I kinda like his preaching style, he’s not some annoying preacher that will try to force someone to change their beliefs (but he does try to make a “point”, with his Imagine Breaker lol). SPOILER: Not to mention he’s a bit more logical after he lost his memories

@Bill: What are you talking about? The wiki, the offical site, and the OneManga entry list Kazuma Kamachi, the Index novel author, as the author of the Railgun manga. Is there a ghost author using his name?

Railgun was actually written by a different person, so we can’t credit the original author for the improvements here.

OTOH, the original author wrote the Index manga, which apparently suffers from the same problems as the novel and anime (although he cut the Himegami arc, which everyone hates). I haven’t read it myself, but others describe it as being too much like a wordy, badly paced novel.

Still haven’t watch it yet. But gotta agree with you Sixten that JC Staff is the best anime studio on earth!
