 At the Dengeki Bunko Autumn Festival 2017, it was announced that Kazuma Kamachi and Kiyotaka Haimura's Toaru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magical Index) light novel series will receive a third anime season in 2018. The new anime series will debut as a part of the 2018-nen To Aru Project (A Certain Project 2018). The action fantasy light novel series was published under the Dengeki Bunko imprint between 2004 and 2010 for a total of 24 volumes. A sequel novel series titled Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magic Index: New Testament) began its publication in 2011 and currently has 18 volumes in print, with the 19th volume scheduled to be released on October 7. The series has inspired two TV anime seasons in Fall 2008 and Fall 2010, a movie in February 2013, as well as multiple manga adaptations. A spin-off manga drawn by Motoi Fuyukawa titled Toaru Majutsu no Index Gaiden: Toaru Kagaku no Railgun (A Certain Scientific Railgun) has been serialized in Dengeki Daioh magazine since 2007 and currently has 12 volumes in print, with the latest released in November 2016. The series has also been adapted into two TV anime seasons in Fall 2009 and Spring 2013. Yen Press licensed the original light novel series in English, and published the 12th volume on August 22. Funimation licensed both anime series for North American distribution. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the spin-off manga in 2011, and published the 12th compiled volume on July 25.

| Hype!Hype!Hype!Hype!Hype!Hype!Hype!Hype!Hype!Hype! Bring the Goddess Othinus please. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| I genuinely almost screamed myself out at office. Fucking hell. |
 |
| nice, looking forward to see dark matter vs vector control ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ |
| "Even villains have standards" -Accelerator-  |
| I guess I should finally get around to watching this franchise. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| The memes were real on this one |
| Battle Royale Arc seems LIT!!! |
 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| All the waiting paid off. 2018. Please be 2-cour of 26 episodes and more. |
|
| IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!! And the whole project has been renamed to "Toaru Project", so I think we can see a lot of spinoffs like Accelerator's and Misaka's later in the future. Misaka will play a little role on third season if they don't go original, but the hype is real! And I can just wait for Misaka for Railgun III or Index IV/V because everything is now possible! |

Yeah, it's probably part of a larger group of projects related to the franchise together. I wouldn't be surprised of the Accelerator spin-off gets an anime in the future. |
|
| Well, here it is, i just need to live long enough to watch at least 1 episode of it. They should spoil us something new graphic content. Im just glad that it is finally happening!!! |
| Holy shit! First volume 12 of Oregairu gets released and now this. Does that mean One Piece actually has a chance of getting an ending? |
 |
| So I've stop reading at Kamisato Kakeru appearance. What's something hype worthy for me to consider continue reading again? |
| Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| I'm know convinced that anything can happen now with anime |
| Sup... |
| Gonna gather more Fren//da memes when S3 came up |
"Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"-- -- |
| Finally, after so many years of waiting we are getting s3 of index! |
| MAL has no influence on Japanese Anime/Otaku industry so Self-righteous Elitist people here are really wasting their time on writing 'Critical Reviews'. |
NeoAnkara said: So I've stop reading at Kamisato Kakeru appearance. What's something hype worthy for me to consider continue reading again? Kamisato arc feels like a condensed form of OT1-OT11, even Kamachi himself said it's only an interval. Personally i hated it though, but NT18 is just fucking good i think it's worth to read through the arc. |

Lolimancer said: NeoAnkara said: So I've stop reading at Kamisato Kakeru appearance. What's something hype worthy for me to consider continue reading again? It was another setup arc like OT1-11 and NT18 begins NT's version of the GRS arc. Just look at the cover and you'll know. I also think NT17 is a pretty good volume. loli_a_ravioli said: It just that the battle with St. Germain and High Priest is so bland that I lose my interest.NeoAnkara said: So I've stop reading at Kamisato Kakeru appearance.

| I cannot get more excited for this. Easily my most hyped anime of 2018, tied with Full Metal Panic!. There's enough content to do like 4 cours or more, honestly, but I'd be content with just two. |

| That trailer was too hype and nostalgic for my heart to handle |
| ABOUT FUCKING TIME |
 |
| I still can't believe it's happening. I don't think I've ever been more excited for an anime. I like the idea of it being a 3 cour Durarara!! treatment to finish off OT but we'll see what they'll do. |
 |
| The wait was long but it's finally here. Miki finally broke the meme. I somewhat stopped caring about a new season coming but I'm pleasantly surprised. They can finally get to use the superior winter uniforms in promo pictures. |
 |
Lolimancer said: I mean who said that fighting while riding bicycle is a good idea?NeoAnkara said: It just that the battle with St. Germain and High Priest is so bland that I lose my interest. St Germain is a meme. Although half the arc is a meme, it's like reading Touma's Bizarre Adventure. I personally liked NT13 because of how weird it is. |

| is this real life. |
| another meme is dead! can't wait, maybe I need to rewatch both season before this |
| Omg! OMG!!! Its been 7 years since 2nd season. Its finally hear. Oh how I've long waited. SAO III and now Index III announcement made my day. Its good to have a long life... |
| Hmmm..actually,I don't care about Toaru Majutsu no Index get third season because I don't enjoy both of the previous seasons.It would be nice if Toaru Kagaku no Railgun also get third season. |

| So it's officially confirmed now, can't wait to see Battle Royale Arc and WW3 Arc adapted in Season 3. Though I think WW3 Arc mostly will be in Season 4 instead of 3. |
| At least bring Mami Kawada to make a huge comeback on the opening |
"Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"-- -- |
| Looks like there is more than just Index https://twitter.com/Anime/status/914391947976069122 |
| Sup... |
| Here it is the official announcement! Ah Mami Kawada's songs :( Love Fripside songs, but they are very well suited for Railgun, i wonder who will be the choice for the new OP. So just a year of waiting =/ |
 |
| Jesus holy on heavens, nippon stop. No more harems. |
 |
| Good news for the fans. I know they have been waiting a long time for this so I'm for happy for them that something finally emerged. Sadly Index and SAO have never been my cup of tea. |
| I am surprised it took so long, honestly. |
| Jojolion anime when? |
| I guess I should get back to finally finishing the 2nd season. Hopefully they get someone better to direct the show this time. |
| Well, now that everything is confirmed and that the third season will surely happen, I have few things to say... Now, for God's sake, please be two cours at least. |
 |
HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLL YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! |
 |
| Can't say no to more Kanzaki Kaori and Accelerator <3 |
