I wonder if this will be 1 or 2 cour. Manga has over 50+ chapters so a 2 cour is technically somewhat possible but it's highly likely 1 cour.

Then maybe Railgun S3 for Fall 2019. (my guess)

Compile all that money JC so that you can properly animating NT especially vol 9.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

This look good at least they know how to make a good trailer unlike the one baldman, the director is the worst on the staff, but I hope that it goes well anyway they have a good character as a protagonist at least in index could be highlighted accel is a character secondary quite fun, I hope that this and the anime Railgun are much better than index so that they bury the stone that is touma.

So first this and by J.C. Staff that too, I see. I knew it’d be J.C. Staff but a part of me just hoped somehow it’d be some other Studio taking the project.
Pretty solid staff and I’m a big fan of Last Order, although not of Accelerator, so it should be a fun watch! Hopefully, it’ll be treated like the Railgun adaptions and not the Index adaptions though.

Oh, sajou no hana’s cameo in Mob Psycho 100 II has been exceptional so far and ‘Hibana’ from THE SIXTH LIE was superb, so I’m expecting hit Op and ED theme songs. It’s nice to see Tensei Shitara Slime Datte Ken’s musician behind this too, surely the Sound Department is set to be great now!

I’m expecting and now actually hoping this to run for 12 episodes and then ToAru Railgun 3 to air in the Fall Season.

Edit: Just watched the CM and I have to say the change in art is quite surprising but a good surprise nevertheless. Hopefully, J.C. Staff will be able to deliver for this! But then again, there’s Danmachi Season 2 as well.

Well, the CM looks good, but I'm still skeptical. After the huge mess that is Index III, I don't have any faith in J.C. Staff lately...
I'm still gonna watch it obviously, if only because Accelerator is one of my favorite characters ever and I also love Last Order to bits. Maybe I'm in for a pleasant surprise :'3

The pv looks good as I imagined and blows away OPM.S2's pv. Great. Also I think this will be 1-cour (13 episode). Only very worrisome factor is the director..

Ahh yes, my dude Accelerator is gonna have more screentime this summer! Heard that the manga has a considerable amount of chapters, so i hope there is a chance for a 2cour. Still, keeping my expectations not too high because JC Staff..

I've never given this franchise a shake, since it looked bland from an eagle-eye distance. I think I'll try this entry to dip my toes in the water. A few people I respect love this stuff, and my gut's led me astray before in the past.

And if it sucks, i'll have a new drinking show. That's always fun too.

Not for the OPM2's animation defenders, thought.

Well looks cool, love how LO is drawn, but just heads up the arc/story which will be covered was one of the weakest for me, and it's not that i love Mikoto and hate Accel, i like almost all the characters in the Index universe. just a warning to not overhype it up

The Trailer was cool.

the color is too bright for a such "darker path" of toaru franchise.
