If this and S3 is just 1 cour, we'll get an Index III momento. Coincidentally, they're one of the best selling LN's out there. Nice one Production Committee.

They already announced a third season in the fall, so I think they have high hopes for that.

Yeah third season's coming sometime next year, and they intend to adapt the entire first year arc. So of course making any hefty change from this point on in addition to what they already did in first season won't be a wise thing.

Well, at least I hope it's not something poor animated.

The KV pretty much confirms this will cover upto volume 7, atleast. Pacing again will be an issue.

Will they promote Suzune again as the only important female character?

If they did it this time around then there's no need to mention LN as the source anymore. Though I've my fears i still believe they won't mess up that badly.
