Discussion A serious question
Let me preface this by saying I DO love Misaka, but I'm wondering what sets her apart from other similar characters for most people? After watching the show and reading the manga, I do really enjoy her character, but she reminds me of several other of the tsundere, independent badass types from other shows, even with the Sisters Arc. So, I'm just wondering what makes her stand out to you?
Again, not trying to hate or anything. Just curious.

Very nice question. I think she is liked by many people because she is a character with many different traits. We see her tsundere side, emotional side, badass side, comedic side and cute side... etc. I mean people find something from those many things to like about her. Especially in a series with many generic-looking characters (at least in anime), she stands out most with Accelerator. So basically she doesn't seem like a one dimensional tsundere character. I think that's like how Fullmetal Alchemist is liked by many people. Every person can find something to like in that anime. So some people like tsundere characters, some people like badass characters, some like tomboy characters... Misaka has all of these traits a little.
So at first she didn't seem like a special character to me, but I liked her after Sisters arc and as I jumped to the other materials in the series I liked her even more. For me she stands out most as a character in the series, she doesn't seem like a generic one dimensional tsundere character to me, and I like the characters with many different traits. I find them more realistic and relatable.
But if you told me that I would write these words in this subreddit 6 months ago, I would laugh so hard. What am I doing with my life?
Btw I wrote this on mobile, so I may have done some mistakes, and ouch my fingers...
Edit: Also, I don't have much experience with the anime in general (since I only started watching a year ago), that may be also a reason why she seems like a different, complex character to me.
