Talk:Index Calendar

Lævatainn

1. shouldn't it be Lævateinn?

2. Wait what? Was this in the Ruby TextFurigana or something?

SonodaYuki (talk) 15:00, 21 October 2014 (CDT)

1. Yes.

2. I'm renaming it not because of Japanese reasons but because I felt that it was a better title for the calendar. But I'm always looking for constructive criticism on the naming of arcs.

Version 2020

List of Changes
OT: Index

• Made it obvious that the end of Remnant blends into the beginning of Miracle of Endymion
• Removed gradient fill from Miracle of Endymion as the event can’t have occurred outside of that date range
• Updated Index III Anime Current Date marker

NT: Index

• Updated for NT22 Reverse with the Kamijou Arc label
• Placement for NT22 Reverse’s end is the latest that the event could end going by info from GT1.

GT: Index

• Updated for GT1 with the Christmas Eve Arc label
• Added GT Months of Activity colour as triangle in December label. Ratio of maroon to yellow area is 12:1 and will update with each new GT Volume.

Railgun

• Darkened fill on Jail Breaker Arc.
• Updated Railgun T Anime Current Date marker.
• I’ve been made aware a while ago that the Kuriba Ryouko event potentially occurred right after the Bust upper event going by Mikoto being tired after a late night. I might update this later if the anime makes it clear enough.

Accelerator

• Renamed Himegi Matsuri Arc to Nectar Arc
• Updated Accelerator Manga Current Date marker
• Updated Accelerator Anime Current Date marker

Astral Buddy

• Added dagger to Astral Buddy event to direct viewer to further explanation below the calendar.

Dark Matter

• Added Dark Matter manga event to calendar; occurring on same date as Necromancer Arc.
• Added double dagger to manga event to direct viewer to further explanation below the calendar.

Side Stories and Non-manga events

• Added smaller labels to all side story events indicating their source.
• Renamed all Index SS2 events.
• Renamed Uiharu SP -> Uiharau Kazari with Index SP label
• Renamed Dawn-Coloured Sunlight -> Stiyl Magnus with Index SP + Dawn-Colored Sunlight labels
• Renamed Railgun OVA SS -> Railgun OVA
• Changed colour of gradient fill for White Alligator

• Gave it a light-yellow coloured fill

Major events Table

• Removed mention of Sisters Project being terminated. Aug 31 key date now on one line.
• Renamed VS. Roman Catholic Church Major Story Arc to God’s Right Seat Major Story Arc as it just makes more sense. I’m taking some liberty here by having OT12 as the start of the arc as it just makes more sense. Moved event marker to September 30 as it 0930 has always been the start of the God’s Right Seat Arc to most fans.
• Renamed Fall of Academy City event to World Rejecter event.
• Added event for Coronzon arc
• Added event for start of Genesis Testament.

Version 2021

Top Level

• Added explanation of LN numbers to FILL table
• Updated Calendar correct for table
  • Added markers for completed manga series
• Updated and resized KEY table
  • Updated Key Event Marker (Sun → 4 point Star)
  • Updated Day where Majority of Event Occurred Marker (Beveled Square → Teardrop)
• Updated Events table with new entries
  • Resized and split table into two columns for space
• Updated Current Date Markers
• (Anime Only) labels switched to underlined top-left corner format
• Updated purple table with Agnese SS timeframe [After WWIII Arc]

Specific

• Shopping Mall Demonstration → Ability Demonstration Trip
  • Reason: Correct arc name revealed in Apocrypha Archive 2; it was wrong the entire time and no one knew
• Refuge at Komoe's House {blue} → Refuge at Komoe's Appartment {event blue}
  • Reason: This is skipped over in OT1 so the colour makes sense
• Dark Matter [Sep 6-7] → [Sep 6-8]
  • Reason: Continuation and conclusion of manga
• Astral Buddy → Astral Buddy (VS. Iruka)
  • Reason: Differentiating it from arc climax.
• W. Dorm → Women's Dorm
  • Reason: There's room now
• Added Astral Buddy (Climax) [Oct 2-3]
  • Reason: Takes place in the first week of October. Needs to be close the previous Astral Buddy event and when Uiharu and Shirai are free and uninjured.
• Love Letter Competition [Oct 15-16] → [Oct 4-5]
  • Reason: Overlapped with timeframe of Jail Breaker Arc when Misaka and Shirai are busy and injured. Barely squeezed it in a time when everyone's not too busy.
• Stiyl Magnus [Sep 28-29] → [Oct 5-6]
  • Reason: Previously in September as I thought Stiyl wouldn't be doing this during the tensions caused by God's Right Seat. But no one in Railgun seems to care and Kamijou already switched his uniform.
• Dream Ranker (Bust Upper) → Bust Upper
  • Reason: Less space now
• Avignon {light blue} → {blue}
  • Reason: We can be sure of its date now.
• Kuriba Ryouko {maroon} [Oct 10] → {dark red} [Oct 10-11]
  • Reason: Want to differentiate between the huge multi-volume events of Daihaseisai and Jail Breaker.
• Jail Breaker [Oct 14] → [Oct 14-15]
  • Reason: Conclusion of arc
• Dianoid → St Germain
  • Reason: Makes more sense
• Academy City Shutdown [max estimate: Dec 12-18 + 3 days] → [median estimate: Dec 12-15 + 3 days]
  • The previous estimate was too long even for a maximum. The new estimate relaxes some assumptions and takes the median value.
• Coronzon [Dec 19-20] → [Dec 16-17]
  • Reason: Follow on from using median value
• Kamijou [Dec 20-21] → [Dec 17-18]
  • Reason: Follow on from using median value
• Added Kuroyoru Umidori [Dec 21-22]
  • Reason: Takes place after NT22R and before GT1
• Added Christmas Day [Dec 25]
  • Reason: Self-evident from novel
• Added Op Handcuffs [Dec 25]
  • Reason: Self-evident from novel
• Added Los Angeles [Dec 26-27]
  • Reason: Self-evident from novel

Extra note

• Anime calendar says OT17 begins on [Oct 16]. This contradicts the novels. That said, the novels have Kamijou and Index flying from Tokyo to Edinburgh in 9 hours compared to the 14 hours it should take. Regardless, the calendar uses the novels' dates.
• R&C Occultics Arc will probably see a name change in the future. But until more information comes out, it'll stay as is.
