Also, if they're willing to leave out Mikoto they can do stories in parallel to Sisters, so the filler anime-original but still canon content could be at any time. |

huh, ... for the sake of Aleister, I was talking about the second half not the the first half (assuming they're going for a 2-cour)

It would make sense for it to be just one if they were avoiding fillers anime original content, but I don't think that's the case. Besides, as far as I've seen, two cours anime are announced for the season when they start, not for the season when they end, just as any other anime. Of course, I don't speak Japanese so my info is post-translations... details could be lost. |

The season at which a series airs means nothing as to the length of the series (see Chihayafuru this season, Sword Art Online last summer as obvious examples in the past year). It's pointless to say it's 1 cour without any information confirming said judgement. We do not know anything regarding the length of the season, though we can make guesses based on the previous season (and even that's caused issues with other series in the past). Let's wait until solicitations come out before jumping to any conclusions.

There aren't any announcement yet on let but that's my assumption and deduction based on past track records and past show which airs on that season.

I see no reason to freak, we got a Railgun Sister's Arc. That's the important thing.
If we want to speculate about episodes though I'd guess something like this: 1st episode: Slice of Life to reintroduce us to the characters, ends on a "hook" for the Sister's Arc when Mikoto first meets a Sister. (That way you give Slice of Life fans what they want while letting the Sister's Arc fans know that we are getting to the good stuff.) Next 9 episodes: Sister's Arc, including ITEM and Touma. Maybe one Slice of Life in there during that period when Mikoto thought it was all over and then discovered it wasn't. A way of letting people think the horror is over before sticking them with the knife again. Then a couple of anime original Slice of Life episodes. Then on to the Daihasei arc?

I am going to repost what I posted before:
Quote:
Faithfull adaptation + SoL scenes + Balanced screentime + New Characters = Side Story by Saten + Shirai + Uiharu running concurrently to Misaka's story. Keep in mind that Kamijou had most of his stories done in a day or two (or in a few hours). The same for smaller stories in Railgun (SS and those in PSP games..) Sister arc takes 12 days. And during the whole arc, Saten, Shirai, Uiharu have nearly 0 appearances, so there is a lot of space for not just one, but several stories. |

Ignore studios and look at production committees. These are the people who decide what studio to use and have more power than your typical studio. Index/Railgun are part of the one led by Geneon/Warner Home Video. They're the ones who decided to use JC Staff, not the other way around. They're the ones who fund these shows and decide how long it will run (because they buy the timeslots). You point to past track records, yet ignore that this production committee has used 2-cours for each of the past 3 seasons. It doesn't matter that it is airing in Spring rather than Autumn as it helps tie publicity with the movie, shown by the PV being shown in theatres. Edit: Something to keep in mind and to give credit to the single cour suggestion would be that Director Nagai also has responsibilities with the Anohana movie which starts screening in summer. He may not have the time to devote two full cours worth of attention to Railgun.

In all honesty, I feel that it's going to go down the same road as Season 1. The story arc after this doesn't even feel close to completion yet within 3-4 months/chapters, unless they suddenly kick into overdrive and have 30+ pages.

^can anyone else say Fillers? Tbh there will either be another anime only arc or they will have to use some things from the Railgun side stories. Unless, however, Kamachi-sensei tells them how the current manga arc ends so they can animate it. Or he writes another side story specifically for the anime. It is his story after all. In the end I just hope they at least do the sisters arc right and not butcher it by making it too short or too long.

As I already said, it's impossible. 'cause Miko should chronologically meet with you-know-who from Index vol 5 chap 2 for the first time somewhere between the end of the sister arc and Index' fallen Angel's start (in 1 to 4 days). Also LAC arc takes place chronologically before the end of the clique arc ... I think.

All Kamachi needs is one day- He can packed 8 different stories into that one free day by dividing it up to individual PoV.
