Okay based on that little preview/trailer, I would assume..the arcs that will be covered will be:

May be covered along with...

I'm not sure about the latter though but I would assume Accelerator would definitely get a spotlight as part of the Sister's arc. Hope there will be a longer version of the PV soon.

If they cover two arcs, I guess there should be no room for anime original material, which is just as well.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Wait a minute, are we all really watching the same PV?
'Cause I don't really see how you can assume that we'll be getting the daihaisei arc.
Well, I really hope that's true, though. But the PV seemed mostly filler to me?

I hope it can make it into the Daihaisei arc as well. If so, it will highly likely be a 2-core series.

If she does appear, I wonder who will voice her. Now that I think about it though, that library scene does sort of look a bit familiar.

Library? *rewatches* I can't believe I didn't see that was a library. I'm freaking blind.
Anyway, that seems like the best point in the PV if it's true.

For the little that was shown i see that will have fillers and i think that we won't get the daihaiseisai arc in this season 'cause this arc still running in manga, but they can introduce Misaki before like they did with Kongou in the first season.
Sorry for my bad english.

Misaki is part of that arc, I doubt they would introduce her without also covering that arc.

Which shouldn't be a problem if that arc(in the manga) ends during the 2nd cour of the anime.

Which shouldn't be a problem if that arc(in the manga) ends during the 2nd cour of the anime.Do you think the arc could be wrapped up in less than 7 chapters? It's not impossible, but I don't think it's likely either.

And btw, now that I think of it, it wouldn't make sense to show the library scene in the PV, while the arc is so far away and even if they do adapt it, they probably haven't even started producing it anyway.

I think that the arc will end soon, but adapting it to the anime so early will be commercially bad for the manga, no?

Yeah, I think it'll end soon in terms of chapters, but I'm not so sure it's enough time. As for being commercially bad, that would be true. Having it adapt the chapters so soon would be bad for the manga sales indeed. Not to mention how inserting filler in this would leave the Daihaisen arc free to adapt later. In other words, it'd allow for another season to come out faster, making the most out of the available material.

I'd still love them to adapt it nonetheless. xD

Novels? I don't think there are. Well I am only aware of one Pseudepigrapha 偽典 that is bundled with a special edition of vol.5 and that's it. And even that contains manga as well as short stories (I won't call short stories novel), and none of the short stories are written by the author of the manga.

OK, I forgot those SS novels that came bundled with Index BDs (talk about cross advertising). One is bundled with the BD of season 1 Index and one is bundled with the BD of season 2 Index. Yes, those are side-stories and written by the author of Index LN / Railgun manga.

Yup but those stories have nothing to do with the current anime, so the anime is based off the manga, and what nots. Is what we were trying to tell Bato.

This might be too in-depth or impossible to be able to tell from just looking at the short PV, but at the very end when I look at (who I presume to be) Touma's fist (he's looking away in the opposite direction) I thought it was weird that what I originally thought was his shadow was not matching his movements because he only seemed to be moving his right arm. Also, I don't remember any scene like that in the manga? Does that mean they will have extra scenes with Touma too or am I probably just making a mistake?

I just read the new chapter of the Railgun Manga which came out today.

Touma appears in the Misaki arc (will probably play a small role in the next few chapters) because he is probably going to get the charm from Saten.

This means that if the Misaki arc is adapted in this season, Touma might appear once again in the latter part of Railgun S (outside of the Sister Arc)

I might be the only one, but I'm sure hoping they keep to the pacing and flow of season 1. They did a perfect job of balancing out the shounen-esque stuff and the slice of life parts (including both the manga SoL stuff and the filler), and I want that balance to be here again. Too shounen heavy and you lose a lot of the Railgun-only audience (like myself - though I'd still watch for obvious reasons), too SoL focused and you lose a lot of the index carryover fans.

I can sure see where you're coming from, as that would probably be financially better for them and please a larger audience. However, I still can't help but to selfishly want them to adapt this arc as faithfully as possible. In other words, not lightening things up. Mixing such a dark theme with SoL stuff balancedly would be a terrible misfit, imho. Mikoto's character development in this arc would definitely not have the same impact. I'd be fine if the kept the SoL to

I think so but honestly, I think if they were to re adapt that part, it would take up at least 1/4 of the series. I assume that Mugino's arc will take longer though. And if lucky enough, it will reach the Festival Arc.

Yeah. I think they're animating this in mind that people who are watching this have read/seen Index.

Mugino's fight is the biggest one, right? so probably. I hope so, too! They have a certain scene in the commercial, so there's some hope.

My reaction was simply facepalm and pause the video.

Anyway, seemed like two new scenes at most in that PV, it's annoying how they repeat mostly everything, and the contents still leave me doubting how this will start (and end up getting adapted).

I agree that that will obviously take longer, but adapting Touma vs Accelerator won't take up all that much and it definitely would't use recycled footage, I believe. Actually, there's stuff you don't exactly see in the Index anime, as this is from Mikoto's perspective and all.

Ya, hopefully. I think it would probably last 4-6 episodes. Hopefully what will be animated will be improved visuals, soundtrack, dialogues, etc.
