To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S - General News/Discussion (NO SPOILERS)

[Haigon]

There are some parts of the Sisters Arc that are very tense. Breaking the continuity with some slice of life would blow up the atmosphere.

so 24 episode only to end with sister arc? not daihaisei?

We can already see from the first season how they were able to tell stories that successfully blended all the necessary elements to both create tension and to develop the bonds between the four heroines throughout the narrative. (Both of the main arcs in the first anime had nice drama, tension, and denouement.) They did this both by adapting existing content and working with the original author on new content. I'm sure they'll find a way. And if people really didn't like the way they presented the show in the first season (considering both the part that was adaptation and the part that was semi-original), at least people should already have their expectations in check.

It hasn't been announced yet what all content will be covered, only that the Sisters Arc will be the main focal point (at least, we presume, of the first half). But anyway, spoilers aren't allowed in this thread so future arcs can't be discussed here.

For anime only watchers maybe it worked, but in other hand it toned down various scenes and even make others more heroic(see Railgun vs AIM Burst).

Zaeraal already posted there will be more original scenes for those side/secondary characters don't have relevance in the original source story, so that is within the expectatives for this new season.

Her scenes in Index-tan were indeed short, but very impressive~

Spoiler for Saten in Index-tan 3:

( But adding that scene in movie to it, maybe she is really just shy )

I think she just prefers jeans and shorts... and that sarong was really stylish with her white bikini♥
Regarding the movie scene you mentioned, was that when

Spoiler for Index movie content:

staffs asks Misaka, Uiharu and Saten to dance beside Meigo with some revealing costume.

?
This was the 1st time I heard and read about it, looks like the movie will bring more eyecandy then expected^^

It's becoming more and more likely that I'll order the BD:3

I agree that breaking the Sisters Arc would be bad. But for me -no offense of course- the Sister Arc is the main thing that's gonna blow up atmosphere, the atmosphere of slice of life and lighter story. An adequate amount of Saten scenes might compensate for the dark parts. High hopes!

Edit: My bad. seems like someone already posted this

Haruue Erii seems to have quite a presence.

Spoiler for Spoilers:

Isn't another problem with the sister arc the fact that the other characters hardly show up.
Saten's there at the beginning, Misaka calls Uiharu to ask about something, and Kuroko complains that Misaka is hiding something about her after running into her once.
That's it.
That's the entirety of their appearance.

Well, this is a "non-spoiler" thread, and I don't know the manga anyway. But I'm sure they can figure something out as a way of keeping the tension high while also answering the question "what are the other characters doing while this is happening?". In the end, we'll have to wait and see what they do before we can judge whatever results. I'm sure they're quite aware of what's in the manga, anyway, and presumably what a lot of people like about it (which is why they made a big deal about animating this content).

sorry bout that, I tried to keep it not spoiler-y but I fixed it anyway.
But my point still remains that the Sister arc focuses on Misaka to the exclusion of everyone else. But you're right, we'll have to wait and see.

and sad face no accelerator in the pv

im a little sad touma only gets into the pv in the end still i mean i know its to pump up for the touma fans and those who like him as well so they can make more profit for people to wanting to watch it more afterall touma had allot of good compliments with the railgun fans since season 1 of railgun made fans happy for touma appearances but i just hope they can give him more screentime and not reduce it again i noticed allot of fans complain about his lack of screen time which was one of the dissapointment to me too in railgun as well but overall this is gonna be a great season but still kinda bit to much filler XD but happy to see saten though.

He has his own series, keep him out of Railgun.

Dyingbreath, the reason why people would like touma in the series is more Misaka x Touma Moments, Yes i agree touma has his own series but the amount of time he see Misaka is very small (Until NT where her role becomes major but that won't happen in the anime for a LONG while)

In the Railgun anime, J.C. staff can make any filler they want, so people are hopping more filler moments with touma and misaka. does that make sense?

It's impossible to keep him out of the series as Railgun is a side story to Index. It's always inevitable that he will appear or be mentioned at some points. Besides, whenever he appears we get to see a flustered Miko-chan which is what I like to see of her from time to time. I love her Tsundere behavior!

That's my point. I don't ship Touma and Misaka so i don't want those moments.

Cool Raildex Fans


In Index: Meh, I prefer Accelerator... Oh it's Mikoto!

In Railgun: Meh, I prefer Saten... Oh it's Touma!

^ One can never understand the mind of a fan. Well, I'm an idort, so screw them.
