Rewatch: Aincrad Arc (III) [Sword Art Online] [#03]
Welcome to Rewatch, where any anime is worth rewatching.
We reach the end of the Aincrad arc, where we cover a family relationship that is frankly very rushed and short lived, a fishing segment that ultimately serves no relevance to the main story (like a certain other fishing campaign in a certain game), and a decent ending, albeit with a few asspulls that will be discussed in the video. Sadly, the road doesn't get better from here, considering what the next arc has in store for us.
I do want to apologize for taking much longer than I initially thought to finish this video. It shouldn't have taken me 4 months to finish what is an otherwise shorter video than the last one. And yet, here we are. At this rate, I might not be able to finish the Fairy Dance videos by the end of the year. Not surprising considering how ass that arc is.

Rewatch: Aincrad Arc (I) [Sword Art Online] [#01]
Welcome to Rewatch, where any anime is worth rewatching.
An easy target, you might say. Sword Art Online isn't the worst thing in the world, but the first season especially has a lot of issues that make it a rough start to the series. At least the Aincrad arc is a tolerable experience despite my shitty gripes with it. These first four episodes provide a flawed but decent start to what you're getting into.

Rewatch: Since Misaka is the Center of Attention Right Now... [A Certain Scientific Railgun] [Extra]
Welcome to Rewatch, where any anime is worth rewatching.
We reached the end of the first Raildex marathon. The Railgun OVA is a fun watch. It has all the things you would expect from the series. A lighter tone, compelling mystery, loveable characters, you name it. While its placement in the timeline is a bit ambiguous, the story is otherwise pretty interesting. Check it out if you enjoyed the TV series.

Rewatch: Motto Marutto Railgun [A Certain Scientific Railgun] [Specials]
Welcome to Rewatch, where any anime is worth rewatching.
Motto Marutto Railgun is a neat duology of specials, although they try to be funny. In some ways they succeed, other times not so much. Although I do think the pop culture references are rather interesting. They gave me material to work with at least.

Rewatch: Poltergeist Arc [A Certain Scientific Railgun] [#06]
Welcome to Rewatch, where any anime is worth rewatching.
We arrive at the final batch of episodes of Railgun season 1. The Poltergeist arc is a brilliant way to send off the season. Being an anime only arc, it does a surprisingly good job at extending the character arc of Kiyama and bringing her story of saving her children to a wonderful conclusion. Sure, there are some moments of questionable writing, particularly with Uiharu. But the amount of things it does right makes up for all that. Railgun 1 is a fantastic beginning of a side story that would go on to be the preferred show to its main counterpart. And I'm on that same boat, honestly.
Two more shorter videos are to come after this, both of which are a sort of epilogue to the Railgun marathon. So look forward to that.

Rewatch: Pre-Poltergeist Arc [A Certain Scientific Railgun] [#05]
Welcome to Rewatch, where any anime is worth rewatching.
The three episodes that kick off the poltergeist arc are small side stories that focus on a minor character or a festival. They are all really to watch, and they even give us hints on what is to come in the main portion of Poltergeist, and I'll address that in the main Poltergeist video. For now, though, these three episodes should give you that slice-of-life itch that is par for the course of Railgun 1.
Another video that took longer than I wanted. Honestly the thing that motivated me to finish the rest of this video was my PC crashing at the beginning of October. After it got repaired, I finished the video was quickly as I could. In the end, I'm glad to get it out. I'm hoping to get the last main Railgun video out by the end of the year, if that. But as always, no promises. Hope you enjoy the fifth part.

Rewatch: Big Spider Arc [A Certain Scientific Railgun] [#04]
Welcome to Rewatch, where any anime is worth rewatching.
We begin the second half of the Railgun marathon with a little story arc called Big Spider, comprised of two episodes. I like that it fleshes out a character that was already intriguing but didn't give us a lot to know about. However, some of the things present in this arc don't make any sense, like the Capacity Down in particular. Because of that, this is definitely the weakest story arc in season 1, but not a bad one by any means.
I wanted to finish this video by the end of last month. Hell, I finished the script shortly after finishing the last video. But, as usual, things got in the way, most especially the summer heat that California often gets. This is the shortest Railgun video on the channel so far, but definitely took longer to finish than I expected.

Rewatch: Post-Level Upper Arc [A Certain Scientific Railgun] [#03]
Welcome to Rewatch, where any anime is worth rewatching.
This video covers only two episodes this time. The former being a beach episode that is a rather fun one with a unique take on the trend, and the latter being a workshop episode that serves as a wonderful epilogue to Saten's character arc. From there, Railgun's first major arc comes to a close, and another one looms ahead. The reason why I call this portion "Post-Level Upper" is simply because these two episodes, episode 14 in particular, covers the aftermath of the Level Upper incident, focusing primarily on the users.
A much shorter video this time, and it didn't take five months to make. Although that's obviously because I'm covering only two episodes. Looks like I was right in saying things were going to get easier following the last video. Even still, things in life were slowing me down a little. But that's nothing compared to the production of the previous video. But now the third video is here. And I'll try to spend the rest of July getting the fourth video done. In the meantime, enjoy the last video on the Level Upper saga.

Rewatch: Level Upper Arc [A Certain Scientific Railgun] [#02]
Welcome to Rewatch, where any anime is worth rewatching.
We continue on this electrifying adventure of rewatching Railgun by covering the main portion of the Level Upper arc, episodes 6-12. It is easily the best arc in season 1, coupled with sympathetic characters and intense action sequences. Not to mention the main villain has a clear motive in mind that I think a lot of people can relate to. It was this arc that made Saten one of my favorite characters in the series. A character with so much life and energy, compromised by her official ranking. If you had any doubts that Railgun is a significant improvement over Index, this arc should manage to win you over.
I must apologize for the long wait for this one. Lots of real life things got in the way, along with other priorities and interests. This obviously took a very long time to make, but I guess that is to be expected when covering 7 episodes in one video. After this video, though, things should hopefully get a bit easier from here, as the next few videos are looking to be much shorter, meaning you probably won't have to wait as long for the third video. But for now, I hope you enjoy what is probably the longest Railgun video so far.

Rewatch: Pre-Level Upper Arc [A Certain Scientific Railgun] [#01]
Welcome to Rewatch, where any anime is worth rewatching.
Merry Christmas, everyone. To celebrate this time of the year, the first part of the Railgun rewatch marathon is released. A Certain Scientific Railgun is a wonderful canon spinoff starring everyone's favorite Level 5 Railgun esper Mikoto Misaka. This first video covers episodes 1-5, which are what I call the "humble beginnings", before the Level Upper arc truly begins. These first episodes provide a few clues on what is to come in the story arc.
This one obviously took a long time to finish, due to college and other life endeavors hindering the progress severely. On top of that, I wanted to change the look of my channel a bit to make it more appealing to the eyes. I also wanted to make the voiceover loud enough for people to hear, although I may have overdone it for this video. This video wasn't meant to release on Christmas day, but since I got done with this video a week before it, I thought it would make sense to release it today. Though I fear for how long it will take to finish the next video. Why? You'll just have to wait and see.

Rewatch: Index-tan [A Certain Magical Index] [Specials]
Welcome to Rewatch, where any anime is worth rewatching.
We will be covering the two Index specials that feature a minimized version of Index. They make fun of the actual show. They're a good distraction, but you're not missing out on anything plot related if you skip these. Although there is plenty of material to work with in them.
Next video will kick of the series of Rewatch videos on A Certain Scientific Railgun. Look forward to it.
