And kinda have a feeling you'll be the first to post here for some reason

Anyways, more Mikoto is WIN

Utau · 2009-03-18, 04:14

Heck yes!

i kinda knew they wouldn't let this chance slip away, sort of..

Tokkan · 2009-03-18, 08:28

... I am surprised and incredibly elated.

Arkard · 2009-03-18, 08:30

YAY! Is this being produced as the second season of the current series or separate?

Wilfriback · 2009-03-18, 08:35

Maybe a parallel story.

Well, if it is animated following the manga, it will be seperate/parralel story. No parasites, no magicians! Pure Mikoto action!... And more

And just because this is really awesome news, once more...
ｷﾀ━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!

Tjaard · 2009-03-18, 10:31

And finally we can see more Mikoto in action and Kuroko too

Most of the story of the original To Aru Kagaku no Railgun manga is a parallel sidestory set before Index's saving, so they'll most likely follow that format here.

Midonin · 2009-03-18, 10:49

Who am I to say no to more Biri Biri? This is great news.

Sterling01 · 2009-03-18, 11:24

The best part about this news is if it's a full series we might get Mikoto-tan.

FlareKnight · 2009-03-18, 11:50

Now this is some great news

.

I've really enjoyed reading it and knowing it's getting animated really brightens my day. The more Mikoto the better I say. Heck since it should be pre-Index we can even get old Touma back though limited behind the true lead of this series

Bees are drawn to beehives? Isn't that like saying that I'm drawn to my house?

Anyway, this is good news. Railgun seems to be of a higher quality than Index so far.

Yeah, should have said 'like bees to honey' but since honey is made in beehives in the first place... *shrug* Same basic principle, methinks.

Do we have any news on when we can expect this anime?

Mentar · 2009-03-18, 15:42

Touma in Railgun is "Touma done right". No endless preachy monologues, but rather a friendly and unpretentious helper in times of need. And awesome to rile up Mikoto ^_^

Anyway, Railgun is the Index universe done right. I'd love to get it!

Nosauz · 2009-03-18, 15:44

sigh... why couldn't they have done the anime on this... really I just find index to be pretentious and her flare no where near as entertaining compared to misaka. Also misaka+makoto=win nothing else.

Eh? Who is Makoto?

BlueDo · 2009-03-18, 16:28

This is amazing.
Not many volumes of Railgun have been out, and they're already announcing anime!
Needless to say: I'm really looking forward to it.
