Toaru series anime announcement chances went from zero to "of course it was zero".

Too be fair, 2 years is not that long overdue compare to the 5-6 years you guys have been waiting for! I'm going to be very honest, the way the fans have been treated for the past 2 years has been disgusting! You guys support the series all year around, and what do you get in return? trolling, tricks and Miki lying through his teeth! Its almost like they don't give a rats about the fans or the series! To me, it seems like they just use the seires to cashcow other series! If they don't want to make any more seasons, then give it to someone else who might give a rats about the fans and not just their pockets.

Sorry about going off topic, I just needed to get that out of me. And I'm not getting mad at you, I'm just frustrated with this whole mess. If anyone would like to carry this on, you very welcome to PM me. Let's all try and get back on topic for now, I would hate to see this thread get lock X.X.

Well if i cant have Index S3, atleast I'll have Mahouka S2(DONT SHOOT ME)

[Chosen_Hero]

^Look at the flowers... and don't worry about the gun in my hands, i'm trying to fix a part that makes it misfire.jk

Well at least i'll get to see even more videos on youtube ripping a new one to Mahoukas story and characters, basically the only enjoyment I personally got out of it and yes I read quite a few of the novels... didn't change my mind.(seriously after you put more thought into it it's not very good)

Still how is there no new season? It's like they are afraid of success or something especially considering that it only gets better from then on and never stops.

If Danmachi gets a new season i'll give up all hope and actively spite J.C. studio.

But seriously, guys. Has anything good ever come out of expecting Index III? Just expect nothing and you will come out on top regardless of the results.

Well technically Danmachi didn't get a new season, it's popular spin off got an anime.

So hold off on jumping off a building, I guess?

^Still the same thing, another story but still the same damn thing, Kirito 2.0 was the last straw and no Grimmgal is the twist of the knife in medievalish type adventure anime, never watching one again if it featuers the same damn tropes that have become popular in the lately especially the whole the being similar to rpgs thing.

Is it too much to ask for something like lord of the rings without mentioning leveling up or classes or skills, etc?

And yet here we have the To aru series with enough material for quite a few cours and 2 or 3 movies with a story that just gets better by the volume (except the one with Kanou... fuck Kanou) and nothing, any hope for the anime at this point is just wishful thinking at best at this point.

And it's a damn shame because I want those friends of mine that still think that To aru is another generic anime to see what this series really is about, apart from watching the amazing over the top fights unfold in motion.

I'm rather not interested in the World Breaker guy. He seems to much of a foil for Touma that it just didn't sit right with me with his introduction and all.

Spoiler for NT.14:

I personally didn't like the whole focus on him and his harem (I understand what Kamachi was going for and he pulled it off but i would rather not have a repeat because it was just soo cringeworthy to see something like that in To aru), but I was ok with the volume once he and Touma started fighting at the end where we got to see their views clash.

Besides, we all knew he was going to appear at some point since long ago when we noticed all of the parallels to revelations/whatever other end of the world scenario from other religion is similar in a way to the events that have happened so far.

Now what I don't understand is why the hell are there people who think that Touma is the Anti-Christ? especially when Kamisato is almost word for word the same kind of character as described in the bible or whatever text you want to use (I know some of you like to bring up other kind of texts similar in nature just to prove your point).

Because Touma is the one with dragons and a dark side hidden inside.

The dragon in Image Breaker may be the Anti-Christ because that what Crowley want to use what ever it is but I heard that Kamachi had said befor in an interview he want to make Touma a Jesus Christ like being in Index which does seen to go better which his character specially the whole if Touma put his eyes on someone to save they will be save.

[Marcus H.]

One thing to take note, however: we've gone past the concept of Christianity since OT Volume 22. At this point, it's more likely that the power of the Golden-style Cabals are on the rise as the RCC and the Church of England enter a more passive stand on the Science-Magic conflict.

Crowley's Sorcery Name also doesn't shift back the focus to Christianity. Both The Beast and the number 666 are also integrated in Crowley's magic.

And Accelerator has black wings like a fallen angel, so I guess that Accelerator is Lucifer confirmed, amirite?

Spoiler for Alliding to possible NT.14 spoilers:

Another factor for labeling Touma that being wrong is that he is THE REFERENCE POINT OF THE WORLD as in he fixes the world when something goes wrong, meanwhile we have a character whose followers are basically insta-hypnotized into believing in him without any proof at all (no one wholeheartedly believed Touma could help until there was no other choice, unlike some else) and his power is the kind that promises paradise but in the end is a power that destroys/ends you by wrongly judging you.

That is one of the reasons I said in my post:

"...the bible or whatever text you want to use..."

You know what? Let's leave it at that, this isn't the proper thread to argue about speculations.

[OH&S]

Its at this point I'd like to remind everyone that this the "News and Announcements" thread. Not the "bitch about other series getting an anime" thread or the "NT14/NT15 Discussion" thread.

[zaikoi]

Anyone know what is this?

I just see Kazuma Kamachi's name here.

[Marcus H.]

『ただ、それだけでよかったんです』
内容が深く最後まで、夢中になれた。
それと、
『新約 とある魔術の禁書目録の作者鎌池和馬さんも評価しています。

It's about a light novel series entitled "Tada, Soredake de Yokattandesu", and the obi sleeve indicates that the LN won the Grand Prize in the 22nd Dengeki Light Novel Prize. Kamachi made a review of the LN.

[Marcus H.]

After transferring schools, Kamisato, who holds the World Rejecter in his right hand, shows up.
"Kamijou's Everyday Life" resoundingly crumbles!

"My World Rejecter and your Imagine Breaker. If they clash, which of the two will win?"
The night after the clash between two boys whose right hands can surpass even gods.
Kamijou Touma and Kamisato Kakeru, with unyielding thoughts in their hearts, glare at each other, with a menu on one hand, inside a school cafeteria!?

Let's explain this carefully. After the Magic God High Priest destroyed Kamijou's school, in order to keep him from becoming a repeater, he begins attending a different school. There, alongside an unusually unreliable "minimum" Student Council President called Fidgety Rabbit (Bikubiku Usagi-san) is his fated opponent, Kamisato...!?

Facing the threat of repeating grades that is worse than a battle with the world at risk is out of the question for Kamijou. Kamisato feels the same way, and is acting friendly for some reason. For a moment, he wonders if this is the detour to a burning-hot friendship route.

Then, a half-naked raincoat girl appears in the city.

This girl holds an overwhelming power that can mislead even Academy City's Level 5s...!
This half-naked girl's true nature is a mysterious third power... or not, which frightens even Kamisato, the little sister Salome!?

Honestly, my best guess as to why they've stalled any announcement on continuing the anime is that they've been working on it this entire time we've been complaining about them not working on it. You have to understand that when a manga or anime per say takes things to an international level, they actually send people out to scout these locations and take pictures as a reference for the artists who make them.

I mean, Toaru reminds me a lot more of One Piece with its unpredictability and totally non-conventional method of moving a story forward. And I think the industry is finally starting to understand that when they mess up and do an anime wrong, its the same thing as ruining the whole anime, and sadly, at this point, I'd have to agree with that. I'm hoping that its more of a case of them not wanting to rush it out the door rather than them not making it at all. But maybe my hope is misplaced. Anyways, only time will tell if I'm right about this.

Also, sorry if this also veers off topic, I just felt a need to reply, so...umm, yeah...I'm done now. Carry on~
