I'm anxious that this scan should not be a fake. The rumor of Railgun anime has been there quite long and the coming announcement of a big news in Dengeki Daioh is official, so I think this news is true in any case.

So is this essentially going to be Index season 2? Because biribiri gets 8 times as much screen time as Index already.

And just yesterday I was thinking about how long would I need to wait for "Season 2" and now this appears (alongside with the fact that novels are being translated to english).

I loved the manga version and I expect a lot from this.
My only question is: will anime just adapt that what was released already or has the authot already written the story that happens after that. If second is true, then I am even happier.

Wrong Railgun was before index was even in the story.

What does the fact that BiriBiri appeared before Index in the volume/chapter/episode 1 have to do with what naikou said? Naikou commented on how Misaka already appears a lot more then Index.

Tough the whole sentence you said makes no sense... unless you saw that Railgun manga started publishing before Index manga and thought that Railgun was the first story, then I'll just repeat what I need to say in most treads: original "To Aru Majutsu no Index" is a series of novels and "To Aru Kagaku no Railgun" is a spin-off story of the novels.

i think he meant about saying that railgun will be index season2, but the storyline happens before TAMNI begins. so it isnt index season2, but somewhat like a prequel.

I'm into the series not because of more Biribiri but because Touma is much more badass in this series, Unlike in the Index anime.

First arc (Level-Upper) is set before and during the Index arc.
Second Arc (I have heard) is a flash back.
Third arc is set about 10 days before the Accelerator arc.

In other words, Railgun anime will happen during the Index anime, but will focus more on Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko.

I'm into the series not because of more Biribiri but because Touma is much more badass in this series, Unlike in the Index anime.


He is the same in both. The only difference is the fact that he appears less often in Railgun so we don't get a chance to see him whine.

And in Misaka's eyes, he is always a strong badass guy who doesn't want to hurt weaklings.
