Hopefully this is better than Index III.

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

Hope J.C. doesn't ruin this also.

The Trailer was cool.

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

Not for the OPM2's animation defenders, thought.

yeah you can watch it , it starts after index s1 ep20 ( while accel is in the hospital after his injury ) but don't have high expectations

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.

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..

Big Order director lmao... fucking RIP

At least hes not as bad as friggin nishikori from index, who only enjoys fanservice and shits at lore and action.

Big Order director lmao... fucking RIP

Mar 22, 2019 1:31 PM by killuaxgon

With JC Staff behind this my expectations are really low

if my man doesn't punch a couple of these girls imma be hella triggered

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..

Mar 22, 2019 12:29 PM by removed-user

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

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.
