Thought they'd want to do New Testament's first season before a new Railgun, but I guess not. This and the ITEM spin-off also coming before the Mental Out anime also surprised me

Not that surprising. Railgun has been consistently good while they completely botched the 3rd season of Index.

to Answer that 3 comes to mind, Negima, Umineko and Hayate the Combat butler, but doing negima anything less then 100 epsiode is gonna be tough, and Umineko and Hayate would need 100 - 150 episodes.


But back to Toaru, i am so glad to see this franchise coming back in anime form, i hope NT get's an anime at some point.

the staff was forced to cram everything into 2 cour they wanted to have 3 cours, they only got 2 extra episode. still does not end the finish result. but i feel like people sometimes forget they troed tp do it justice but was not allowed.

tho i think doing index NT is gonna be tough since there is no break in the last half of that show, with the fact that Touma spoiler[]Does not get any sleep from the end of volume 14 all the way to midway in volume 20, and this is across 3 arcs]

It was about time one of the two To Aru S4 or Testament S1 was announced, I fine with either.

Botched?! Season 3 of Index was great.

Doing NT is a disaster waiting to happen. You know they'll want to end it at a big moment which means cramming in 10 books. I'm a huge Index fan, but the break neck pacing really crushed the delivery.

Tone and characters from Mental Out I think are similar to Railgun so that might be a reason not to make those too close to one another, and this next Railgun arc was made quit a bit earlier. I would rather have Mental Out over Item myself.

Great, how? That shit was a confusing mess almost all the way through. Even just my own thoughts aside, many people have said that season 3 was poorly adapted.
