A Certain Magical Index (light novel)
| I know it's a little too early to ask for a third season. But I just can't get enough of this. Anyone else think there'll be a 3rd season? |
| The second season isn't finished yet! WAIT!! |
| I can't help but shake the feeling we will be shackled with another season of Railgun and then if we are lucky, a season 3. |
| My anime list |
| Surely there will be a third season, the novels are best-sellers in Japan, and this second season will only reach the 14° novel, and there are 22 novels published. This is one of the strongest products of J.C. Staff, along with Shakugan no Shana, same series that will have a third season, and is not even as popular as Index is. So be patient, I think that first we will see a second season of Railgun (that for me, is a waste of time) and maybe in 2 years (or before, I hope) we'll see the continuation of Index, that finally gets a serious tone, and take us to the climax of the story. |
| You're all biribiri haters. I welcome our new Railgun Season 2 overlords. I would also love Index3, though. |

I would also love Index3, though. i like misaka but railgun is more about her annoying friends than it is about her. Finally an honest answer. Me too, I don't have nothing against Mikoto, but railgun is more about hanging out with their friends to do nothing, and for that, I better watch K-on, at least you know what to expect with that. Seriously, in the whole series, she shoot 3 railguns, and in many episodes, she takes a supporting role, and almost the whole series is overwhelmingly boring, full of filler episodes. Maybe if they made a 13 eps adaptation, it could take a more serious plot |
| Yap, I actually love Mikoto; she's one of my favorite characthers but Railgun is like some random slice of life sitcom. |

| i'm pretty much sure Index will have a 3rd season... the light novels aren't even finished yet... as for railgun, i don't think it will have 2nd season... if there will be, it'll be just like the 1st season - no serious plot, just a bunch of loli girls doing some girly stuff... |
 |
| If there is a third season it wouldn't happen for at least, what, three years? There is already going to be a Shana season three, then hopefully a Railgun season two... |
| Haha I actually like railgun =u=;; I'm sure there's a chance for a second season of index :) |
     |
| I don't really know about a third season. I loved the first, but the second still hasn't caught my eye yet. |

| How you guys hate Kuroko...? Honestly, if it weren't for Kuroko and Mikoto, Railgun is worthless |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |

But you guys are :3 Confucius said: How you guys hate Kuroko...? Honestly, if it weren't for Kuroko and Mikoto, Railgun is worthless No one actually said anything about kuroko. They just said they don't like the emphasis railgun has on its' list of annoying side characters. Do I like Mikoto? Yes. Do I like Kuroko? She has her moments, and certainly creates a good foil for mikoto. Mikoto's character development is enhanced by Kuroko's presence. When she's doing judgement work she's badass, but that weird stalker lesbian obsession thing she has going on really detracts from her character, not to mention it's taken to a degree that seems to indicate some manner of mental instability. She seems less an ally and more like Golem of Lord of the rings. Sure she'll help, but in the end she's just waiting on an opportunity to rape the heroin, and that's about the furthest thing from cool to be found. She's made worse in the spinoff than she ever was in Index, even going so far as to try and sneak Mikoto strong mind altering drugs in an attempt to get her to put out. So in short, yes I like Kuroko, but I hate her depiction in Railgun. Saten and uiharu are perfectly nice characters, but they really don't deserve the level of screentime they got. I mean really, we often spent more time on uiharu than we did on the heroin. That's not proper. That's not even going into the amount of slice of life involving side characters who aren't even part of the main cast. Tertiary characters or whatever we want to call them. The landlord and the rookie cop both got their own episode. That's just flatout ridiculous. An entire episode dedicated to helping out the swim team members who need extras in a photo shoot. The show would have been fantastic if they'd just cut it down to twelve/thirteen episodes. As it was, half the time we were just going into a slice of the life of a character we never actually cared about beyond plot relevance. As much as Uiharu, Saten, rooky cop, swim team, etc etc. are all perfectly fine characters, they were not good enough to have their own spinoff. Mikoto was, but despite advertisement, they didn't give her one. They created a spinoff dedicated to everyone Mikoto has ever met, but would never be terribly relevant in the main story. This is why Railgun sucked, because it should have been called "A particular boring set of citizens of Academy City we hadn't even thought to name before now." Obviously that doesn't roll off the tongue so well, which is how we got this misnomer. |
| I would love a third season, and i haven't read the manga but i still know about one arc which I look forward to and i know that the manga is not finished and that the anime haven't caught up with manga yet Love Mikoto <3 Hate Koroko |

Gangler said: DUDE, you are my hero! These are exactly my thoughts about the Railgun anime and why I thought it sucked. I liked Misaka in Index but she was a complete bore in Railgun. Kuroko was alright with me in Index but after Railgun, I hated her and never wanted to see an appearance by her again. And the rest of the characters didn't really even matter to me so it puzzles me as to why they have episodes dedicated to them. What about Accelerator? Or what about any other Level 5's for that matter? Even if the manga plot wasn't that far ahead at the time, I would've been more comfortable with the anime being only twelve episodes with 2-3 episodes introducing the side characters and their relevance to the plot and the rest episodes doing the plot.No one actually said anything about kuroko. They just said they don't like the emphasis railgun has on its' list of annoying side characters. Do I like Mikoto? Yes. Do I like Kuroko?

| Maybe it's because I watched railgun first so didn't really expect anything, but I liked railgun. I watched railgun with it's slice of life and occasional action sequences and was content. Then I went and watched index and got to see all those same characters being badass in amazing fights and stuff, which was an awesome transition for me. I probably wouldn't want to rewatch railgun now because compared to the rest of the series it does feel disjointed and slightly out of place(and yes pretty irrelevant). But it can be liked if watched BEFORE index, because then the series feels like it's just getting better instead of sagging in the middle. P.S. I kinda like Kuroko's antics, she's hilarious...but then again I don't take her seriously...so that may be why |
| I think the index will be a new season:DShana will come late but Index series is quite long;producers, trying to close novels the gap between series. Railgun, second season will not be:director is currently working to AnoHana |
    |
| 3rd season? really welcome :D I can't wait for WW3 I dislike the filler of railgun, but the rest eps is good. So, if there's railgun 2nd season, I want it become 12/13 eps about Sister Arc. And... 1 or 2 eps filler is fine. sister arc in railgun manga is so great. |

Onibokusu said: furuuru said: I dislike the filler of railgun, but the rest eps is good. J.C. Staff probably disagrees. I mean, they put so much more effort into their Science Side arcs. How are the science arcs in Index even remotely related to the filler in Railgun? |
Onibokusu said: I'll give you a couple of seconds to think about that... Don't be dense. You know the context of my statement. He said that he felt the filler in railgun didn't measure up to the rest of the series. You said that JC staff must not feel this is the case because of how much effort they put into the adaptation of science arcs in Index. How do these connect. One is a statement regarding a mans stance on a particular set of filler episodes. The other is time and effort put into adapting certain arcs in the same setting in another series. The leap between "JC Staff puts a lot of effort into their science arc adaptations in Index" to "Clearly they must feel that the filler in railgun turned out quite well." is enormous. Explain to me how you link these two parts of your statement. |
Onibokusu said: They had the same characters in the non filler as well. We're talking specifically about the filler. If he had said that railgun sucked, and you said that JC staff disagreed using that reasoning, it would have worked. He said that he preferred the episodes that were adapted from the manga to the filler.Gangler said: Onibokusu said: Don't be dense. You know the context of my statement.

I took it as that user thinking the entirety of Railgun was filler, and Railgun is purely Science Side shenanigans. One should know that Railgun isn't canon to the Index novels, it's practically alternate universe. To an Index fan, Railgun is pretty much entirely filler. Railgun was like a whole different genre. Another K-ON!. Index fans would say its filler though i wont say it was bad. I watched up to the end of the level upper arc and skipped the middle and went straight to the last arc. I think of it like this about the this entire series. In index people want more mikoto but in Railgun people want more touma. It would make sense to put them together for the same airtime and get one hell of a fanbase and sales. |

Ah see, that's not how I read the statement at all, but at least I understand now where you're coming from. Such would indeed be an erroneous attitude, and your statement makes sense under that context. Personally I liked railgun, but lord if that show doesn't give you a lot to complain about. I think really trying to do it as a twenty four episode series was the big mistake. If they'd done it as a twelve or thirteen episode series, and then spread the filler out through OVA's and DVD extras I think I would have enjoyed it all a lot more. It also would have been nice if they'd done a better job of keeping Mikoto on camera. For example, when writing stories to develop tertiary characters, give them some manner of problem to solve, and then have Mikoto and the gang come in and help them out, giving advice and pushing them towards pulling off that confession or whatever it is they're trying to do. As I've stated they also way over exaggerated some of Kuroko's worst character deficits. This being said, overall it was a pleasant watch. Entirely different genre from Index, and rather deceptive packaging, but overall an enjoyable experience. Most of the problems were more with how the show was presented than anything else. Would have been nice if we knew what we were getting into when we first tuned in. |
| Well, since vol 1 of Index II sold 17.4k copies the first week, I would say that more anime projects of it are likely. Before a third season though I think they'll do an OVA series for SS Volume 1 while Shana III or Railgun II is airing. |

Therefore, not filler. |
| index is amazing enough for a third season, I personally can't wait xD |
| I think the aouthor of light novels said there will be a major announcement at the end of the second season, so there is a chance (but it could be a second Railgun season too, since the Accelerator arc just ended in the manga). And in the trailer of Index 2, there were characters who haven't appeared yet in the series, and won't in the current arc, which is propably the last of the anime. |

TheMetalOverlord said: Considering the point where TAMNI season 2 will end they HAVE to move directly to a season 3. Why would we want to revisit crazy Accelerator after we see him become the hero for the Science side? It would destroy the personality progress they've given him.viral_hun said: Hopefully the announcement is TAMNI 3 and not Railgun 2 (unless it has Accelerator in a good majority of it).I think the aouthor of light novels said there will be a major announcement at the end of the second season, so there is a chance (but it could be a second Railgun season too, since the Accelerator arc just ended in the manga).

TheMetalOverlord said: Knowing the way JC Staff does adaptations that just might get pushed to the side in favor of the action and the Mikoto drama. Season 1 already gave us plenty of hints during the short arcs where he saved Last Order plus we're bound to learn a bit more of his way of thinking during the last arc of season 2.Well from what I hear, |
|
| My money is on a Railgun II and after that an Index III. I wouldn't mind both of them provided that Railgun II will be more about Mikoto than season one was. =) |
