Maaan. I really liked the raildex characters and world...

But I couldn't get over post-amnesia Touma. You can't just have characters build genuine connections and then erase it for no reason.

I had to look up whether it was just a "bad phase" of the story. But no, apparently it's permanent, and as far as I could tell nothing interesting is done with it.

And having the main character just pretending to know people he's supposed to care about is just... Nauseating. It's such an extreme level of disingenuousness it actually makes me mad. It felt like every time Touma opened his mouth to speak, the author was spitting in the face of the other characters. Characters that I liked.

He should just tell them. They deserve to know that the Touma they knew is effectively dead, and will stay dead. I cared about those characters, it made me furious to see them betrayed.

The idea of having that underpinning the entirety of the remainder of the series, is so far beyond a deal breaker, it's hilarious.

I lost all interest. It was such a pointless amateur writing contrivance it affected how I viewed everything by Kamachi. It ruined the characters I did like. I see art of Misaka and Index and the only part I can appreciate anymore is the technical ability of the artist.

I can't look at anything raildex related without getting worked up about it again. The fact that I can only get so mad because these characters were genuinely appealing to me, just makes me even more mad!

Uuh I mean cute frog.
