Hey, I have so far only been an anime-only watcher for both the Railgun and Index series.
And my question is, is there a possibility of them making new seasons, or continuations, of both Railgun and Index ?

I mean there is still some material for both of them, I have done my research on that part, and I also do plan to read both the Railgun manga and the Index light novels from where the anime’s ended.
But I also do prefer watching things animated than just reading them πŸ˜…

If this question has been asked before, I apologize, I am fairly new on MAL so I likely have missed something that resembles my question.
I know this thread is posted for Railgun but I do wanna include Index too πŸ™‚

I have seen people hating on it, and to be honest I won’t tread that path, since I have only been watching the anime and not reading the light novel.
The quality of Index compared to Railgun is like day and night, with Railgun being the superior one πŸ˜…
But I do like Index’ story, and perhaps I am very easy to convince when I am watching shows πŸ˜‚

There should not be before few years. The anime has almost caught up the manga (Railgun is based on the manga), so they will need time to have material for a new season.

The Railgun manga is just 1 arc ahead of the anime which means Railgun won't be back for a while. Index on the other hand has a lot of story left to adapt but JC Staff is very busy in 2021, so a realistic expectation would be 2022. Kadokawa is having an expo in March if anything they might announce it then like they did with danmachi. There is another spinoff called Astral Buddy, which is similar to Railgun being expected along side index season 4.

railgun isn't getting another season anytime soon. Index has enough stuff for like another 4 seasons to adapt, but it's gonna be quite unlikely. i've still got my hopes up as a diehard index fan.

i can see why you hate index, they really messed up the adaptations. in terms of original source material, index is far better, but in terms of anime, railgun is in another league.

About the source materials, are they selling good in Japan ? Like I hope the popularity is high for both the manga and light novels, since I did like both, and hope that by them having a high popularity, they “might” return anime wise too πŸ˜…

I’m not 100% sure how accurate this info is but I have seen that Index is one of if not the most popular Light Novel in japan with 16.6 million sold but that’s from 2019 and the new page doesn’t look so trustworthy.

There is a high possibility. I’ve only binged the toaru series just half a year ago so idk much but Index and railgun did return after 7 years and there a lot of other animes that got a s2,s3 after along time. Like look at chihayafuru. Also there nothing wrong with wanting to watch it animated instead because I am the same as well. I do plan to read railgun and index as well but I’m not a big fan of the railgun manga artsyle so that’s why I perfer it animated.

I see, I mean maybe the numbers might not be fully correct, but I can take a guess and assume that it indeed is quite popular over in Japan, which is nice because that might mean more animation some time in the future πŸ˜…
Thank you for your answer πŸ˜ƒ

It is so popular that in 2020 it has been banned in the Sugoi Light Novels awards because it was winning too much.



All of th above entered The Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi Hall of Fame. So basically, it is so popular that they need to ban them in order to promote something new.

THE BAD NEWS is that most adaptations, especially Index's, are glorified ads, so this also means that they need these ads anymore.

Interesting, although I didn’t quite get this last bit about Index and ads πŸ˜…
Would you mind explaining a bit, and that’s mainly because I might have misunderstood something πŸ˜„

Some of the anime adaptations are basically expensive ads for the source material.

It is one of the reasons why some series dont get more seasons even if the adaptation sells well.
For example the Haruhi series. Index took 7 years to get its 3rd season and even then it was pretty terrible since well...the novels are way WAY ahead of it.

I do really like the general story idea of Index, I just can't stand Touma and it's hard for me to watch/read things when I don't like the protagonistπŸ˜‚ (also it's very harem-y which is my least favorite genre)
