I have one thing that's on my mind about S2 of railgun:
Are they going to "REMAKE" Touma VS Accelerator or going to skip it whole with something else by filling it with Mikoto and Misaka Imouto's side of story during that battle? Because that's what's on my mind lately about the Sisters arc of railgun. I know manga did the whole thing again despite it already having been out on the anime and the manga of index, but I am wondering if they are going input that battle "AGAIN" for like 2 episodes or something... =w=; |

A lot of Accelerator backstory/character development is interspersed with the Railgun version of that battle, it might be necessary.
I picture them simply abbreviating it, possibly restricting it to Mikoto's POV for the battle (so omitting the beginning when Touma finds Accelerator). I'm more curious about the conversation on the bridge... I feel like Index ep 12 nailed that perfectly (and took an episode and a half to do so), how is Railgun anime going to deal with it? |

Also to analyze the OP further, previous OPs had the 4 girls together in most scenes; this one has Mikoto alone on top of the building at the point where normally we get the whole team running somewhere...
I don't think they're going to be altering the fight; remember Mikoto was also wearing her three hearts shirt for those fights, the OP shows her in her normal Tokiwadai uniform. |

Yes. The BD/DVD solicitations are for 8 3-episode volumes, so 24 episodes total.

I still don't see why they can't do some Misaki filler. It's not like it's important to the Daihaseisai arc that Misaki is new. In fact, it's implied that they have a longstanding rivalry. So adding some Misaki filler can only improve a hypothetical S3.

I just remembered that one of the factors of the Daihaseisai arc was the Sisters in the first place, where in the end that arc isn't completely unrelated to the "Sisters", so it does deserve to be animated, however the fact remains the script was made months ago, where unless they came up with another anime-only filler arc or anime-only ending, then I don't know what they are planning to fill with in the last half of the series after the Sisters arc.
Speaking of which, I wonder how Mikoto will look like in Yandere mode lol. Her yandere faces in the manga was awesome lol |

I'm talking about if Misaki's role is really just for promoting NT7 as you're claiming, then wouldn't it make more sense to have the majority of the episode showing her off? They were going to make it an Original episode anyway, why settle for one scene from the manga that leads to nowhere for the episode?

The opening itself gives the feeling that "the first op isn't going to go beyond Mugino" + no evidence of experiment 10031 nor 10032, meaning that Mugino is going to end up being mid season material, the "S" in the title is speaking way too clearly. Of course those aren't the expectations that I want to have for the series, and I would really like have evidence against my very own ominous feeling, but to end the sisters arc early, they would have needed to rush through the source material, and direction wise the series is being too similar to the previous season of Railgun (which didn't rush anything, but rather stretched things way too far).

I seriously doubt they will stretch it to 24 episodes. Why? cause
1. 12 episodes for what we saw in Index is way too much, even for those that haven't watched it yet. 2. The producers want to put more of the other girls into the anime, and it won't be very natural until the Sister's arc is over. The start was slow, but it's just the 2nd episode. Give them a chance to get into it. In fact, I think it was a good decision not to promptly dive head first. It's gonna get bloody soon enough and you don't want to just wham it in the face of those that are used to what Railgun was in the first season. |

I can think of two "intermission break" moments; the first is when Mikoto thought that the project to create Level 5 clones was cancelled...later then she found out that it had become something worse.
The second "break" is after the fight with ITEM and she thought she had succeed in stopping the experiments. Those could be use to inject fillers if they want. Either way the Railgun sisters arc starts ten days ahead of Index's version, giving them lots of time to play. Now I'm not saying this is what's going to happen, I'm only pointing out that it's not entirely impossible.
