Get ready for some shock treatment from your favorite anime electromaster!
The official Raildex YouTube channel posted a brand new promotional video for the upcoming third season of A Certain Scientific Railgun. The new season, A Certain Scientific Railgun T, is set to premiere on January 10th. The new promotional video lasts almost two minutes and features the new theme song from fripside titled ‘Final Phase.’
The story for the third season will cover the arc which begins in volume eight of the original A Certain Scientific Railgun light novel. Seven Seas describes the plot of this arc as:
The Daihasei Festival may be all fun and games (and explosions), but the chaos of the competition also serves as a distraction. A dank conspiracy lurks behind the event, and it ensnares one of Misaka’s “sisters.” When Misaka tries to investigate, the enemy proves to be more complicated – and ruthless – than she first guessed. Judgment is crippled. Misaka’s back may be up against a wall, but some of her other friends prove to be powerhouses in their own right.
As previously reported, director Tatsuyuki Nagai and animation studio J.C. Staff will return to put A Certain Scientific Railgun T together. We also know that the band fripside will return to perform the new opening theme song. On the other end will be Kishida Kyodan & The Akeboshi Rockets performing the ending theme. Other names returning to the franchise include Yuichi Tanaka (character designs) and Maiko Iuchi (background music composer). Not returning this time around, however, is the series compositor, Seishi Minakami, who is being replaced in that role by Shogo Yasukawa.
Originally a manga spinoff written by Kazuma Kamachi and illustrated by Motoi Fuyukawa from the A Certain Magical Index light novel series, this series follows a few of the side characters from Index who gained a pretty devout following all on their own. It began serialization in April 2007 and is now up to its 14th volume as of October 2018. It has also inspired two television anime series and an OVA.
