BiriBiri anime A Certain Magical Index is set to receive a spinoff anime centred on fan favourite Misaka Mikoto, or BiriBiri as she is known. Index will feature minimally, if at all.
The anime will be based on a “gaiden” manga series, とある科学の超電磁砲 / To Aru Kagaku Choudenjihou / A Certain Scientific Railgun. Other details are still under wraps.
The gaiden seems to have enjoyed popularity amongst fans, so the anime adaptation seems to have a promising start.
Via Dengeki.
Celebratory service from episode 24:

















Index = Mascot
Biribiri = Main Heroine
*nods*
Truth.
i agree
Yeah.
totally, now if only i could read teh fan-translation to the end before it comes out
we all know
*Nods back*
Index's awesome, but Bibiri's epic! xD
Fair enough. I think they should really go for it, after all the doujins I have of her.
agree!
Really indeed
Who doesn't like a tsundere heroine?
HITLER! D:<
Who does Hitler like though?
Not the Polish, nor the Jews, nor the British.
The only people Hitler really liked was the bishonen
no hitler liked his dog and only his dog
A dog is fine too.
Hitler actually idolized the British way of life, and never wanted to go to war with Britain.
Do you think Hitler likes Loli-Meganekko-Meido-Swimsuit Girls then?
gave me a really weird idea for a story...
about a Narcissist, who had a loli clone, then pesters it...
wat? ( ´_ゝ`)
just as expected...
mission accomplished...
lol
just as planned* :(
Happy to be of assistance. ( ´_ゝ`)
Fuck yes biribiri.
biri biri
hawwuuuuuu
Awesome!!
Fuck Index.
I think the problem is half the guys here *would* fuck Index, given the chance. <_<
Pass.
agree
Agree. Shit goes back down with those nude filters of her. Def pass
ya, ill stick with to love ru (lala) or the rich blond chick
I find it funny a friend of mine was just discussing how awesome this would be if it happened, and now it is.
I like Kuroko better than Misaka...
Same here.
Both of you are cunts.
Mikoto > all the other bitches
No your folumla is wrong
Mikoto + Kuroko + toys = XXXOOO/WTF with localized power failures
Kuroko FTW. She has her priorities right.
She sure does. I wonder if that's why Biribiri wears shorts
This is going to be interesting.
What an awesome serie Index would've been without Index. :P
Actually, haven't you noticed that Index is somewhat similar to Nagi (Hayate no Gotoku), but on a even lesser scale, where sometimes she appears, but is just irrelevant to the episode, while some other times she doesn't even appear on those episodes?
Like in the Accelerator/Mikoto and Accelerator/Last Order arcs.
well... a loli nun with scattered safety pins in her garment isn't excatly an ideal heroine now that i think about it...
Yeah, I've somehow managed to notice that aswell. Even if Hayate no Gotoku is more entertaining than Index I still can't stand the voice of Nagi (Kugimiya Rie). Even though, I never like the voice of Index aswell.
Anyway, I cheer for this one! MOAR Misaka, LESS Index >.>
The thing is, Index is ACTUALLY in the title of the anime <_<
Nagi isn't.
Wow most of the people like Tsundere girl .
i perfer non loli chicks f cum minimum
Pure win awesomeness
Now we only need one for Kanzaki.
seconded.. X3
3rd
Biribiri~~Biribiri~~Biribiri~~
I liked her more than Index.
Yeah, I don't dislike Index or anything, but this is wonderful news, and not only because of Biri Biri.
two words...
ONEE-SAMA <3
nani?
wait,isnt that one word?.....
No, it's two: "onee" is one word, and "sama" is a honorific. It's like saying "big sister" or something.
Hey... Is this gonna be yuri or what?
Just until Toma arrives to shit on Kuroko's party.
would Toma be in this at all?
Touma before he loses his memories will be in this
shesh, flatboards.
I smell awesomeness in the air ~
Yeah....it smells like J.C. Staff pleasing the fans.
I LOVE the manga. I love Index too, especially after 23.
And what would Kadokawa smells then? XD
The main manga or the scientific manga? Of course, with pussy squeezing and strip teasing.
at last. . . . . biribiri~~~~~~ <3
i think index already not a main heroin as she hardly appear nowadays
She is one of the weakest main characters that I've seen recently, seriously.
I never really saw Index as the "main" character, just a cute thing that dangles off of Touma most of the time.
Basically I equate her with Nall or Ruby from the Lunar video games.
She basicallyjust a title mascot after vol.3 of the light novels, with Last Order(loli Mikoto) taking over the spot of the loli-heroine(for Accelerator).
lol in the Malay language, 'biribiri' means sheep^-^
i know.i know malay and always giggle when i heard touma say biri2
more of the Thundere XD
SHIT FUCK YEAH!
My words exactly! This is awesome.
Had to look closer at that last pic, BiriBiri's finger looked like a nip. Can you say DVD extras?
YAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! I love Mikoto! This news report made my day.
Best news in the last few weeks \o/
im a lolicon but yet im more interseted in biribiri than Index... i wonder why...
You'd be a lolicon whether you're interested in Mikoto or Index.
Anyway, it's a very good news. The manga was great, though not completed. (TL'd)
biribiri is 14...
Actually, the MISAKAs (excepting Last Order) were designed to be as Mikoto at age 14. Mikoto is 15, if I'm not mistaken.
I hope it is not as boring and corny as the Index series.
Fucking yes.It was already interesting how things were going with misaka mikoto.
A Certain Scientific Railgun is also quite a cool title.
Can't wait for the epicness
This anime ahs all the hallmarks of being a lolicon-yurirific cocktease, inspiring mass circle-jerks worldwide.
THAT being said and out of the way, Mikoto had way too little air time in Index... but then again, Index wouldn't have been Index, without... yeah.... Index. XD
Looking forward to seeing how J.C. Staff play this one out.
TSSSSSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUNNDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
*Explodes into a ocean of cum*
Xhit......
BTW What is that under her skirt? A weights?
Maito Gai - Drop the weights lee....
Lee - Yes *Drop The Weights*
Maito Gai - i mean The Other Weights lee...
(^_^)V Peace...
Those are metal pins she can teleport into people's bodies for an attack.
Ahh... ok ^_^
Crap... Need to start watching boring Index now
This is good news. I might actually watch THIS show.
yea...the future is bright indeed
lol biri biri is going to get reap by her sister in the shower loolooool
don't unless she zaps her first
Is the blue haired one a guy?
Please kill yourself :D
Good News! I wonder how many eps it will be?
Yeah, I wonder if its just gonna be a limited run anime series adaptation of the Railgun manga or go original episodes for a full season (or some combination thereof).
Be cool if the BiriBiri spin off and a second season of the Index series run at the same time and crossover.
Hmmm.. are they are gonna replace a "second season" of Index with Railgun instead? (As much as I like the Index series)
With only 4 manga volumes or so worth of (ongoing) story, I don't think it can go beyond the 12 episodes mark, even with original episodes thrown in...
I doubt that they will replace the real Season Two with Railgun in place of Index, seeing that there is still a crapload of story leftover from the rest of the light novels, with 2 to 3 new volumes coming out every year or so...
this is good.
Biribiri Mikoto <3
Totally love her.
Can't wait.
Teleporting lesbian raep ftw.
Results cause blackouts across the nation.
Isn't this backwards? I thought Index was the gaiden, and railgun was the original...
No Index = No watch
