Synopsis

Academy City stands at the forefront of scientific and technological progress, best known for their development of espers: those capable of wielding superhuman abilities that alter the rules of reality. The most powerful among them are the Level 5s, and the one known as Accelerator reigns supreme, even after being weakened by a severe brain injury. By his side is the young girl known as Last Order, whom despite his cold demeanor, he holds closely and vows to protect at all costs.

Though Accelerator may be recovering from his injury, the dark side of Academy City never rests, and so he finds himself unwillingly caught up in the midst of a new conflict. When a mysterious young woman approaches Accelerator in pursuit of Last Order, the highest-ranked esper is confronted by a venomous organization that has taken root in Anti-Skill, Academy City's peacekeeping organization. With dangerous forces on the move that threaten to put Last Order and her sisters at risk, the self-proclaimed villain prepares to step into the darkness once again.

<LA hears Nobuhiko Okamoto's cackling Accelerator sound>...TIME FOR THE ANTI-HERO's main story!

Accelerator getting his own story set before Index III?..Sign LA up! and guess what it's GREAT...seriously why does To aru spinoffs seems much better than the main line Index anime series?

So what's the plot to To aru Kagaku Accelerator?...well Accelerator become embroiled in a conspiracy with the Antiskill renegades with the DA who have connections to the higher ups of Academy City, where one of the higher ups being a researcher finding his own way of making Level 6 Espers using robots and the dead, it's not until Esther Rosenthal voiced by Yurika Kubo ...

Mixed Feelings
The ever expansive Index franchise has led to numerous adaptations in the form of full seasons, spinoffs, OVAs, and even movies. Accelerator, the strongest level 5 Esper in Academy City, should be no stranger to anyone who is familiar with the franchise. Yet, spinoffs can be risky to pull off. Considering a character like Accelerator, that really is no understatement.

Written by the brainchild of the Index franchise, Kazuma Kamachi made this piece of work as an original spinoff. Its emphasis revolves around the dark side of Academy City. Unlike Railgun, the show takes on a darker storytelling route although the overall style will feel familiar. ...

Short Review:

They had to ruin the most interesting character, and probably my favorite in the entire Raildex franchise. Thankfully this isn't as long as Index III, because if it were, I could see this being close to a 2.

I gave this a better score because I did actually enjoy the first couple of episodes and had my eye on a score of 7 at around episode 3, but it got so bad so quick I was amazed. The story kept getting more and more dull and uninteresting as I neared the end, as well as really predictable and overall trash.

Animation also was a downgrade ...
