Haunt-bot said: So they're trying to tack on the friendship theme with the last epiosde. Feels forced because 3/4 of the characters weren't even involved in the last arc. On that note it didn't make sense how Kuruko sees someone who has been shot and we don't even see her question anything; that is very out of character. It's also been shown that Misaka doesn't want her friends involved in the dark side so it's weird to see Misaka just calling her like that out of the blue. The stuff with doppelganger was weak. It is not clear to me how doppelganger (and Misaka) knows she doesn't have a soul. It's always adorable how Mitsuko hides her face when she's embarrassed. It was an alright season. First arc was decent and the two short arc for Kuroko and Satan/Frenda were good. I didn't like Shokuhou to begin with and at the end I still don't like her. It is Kuroko's job to respond quickly in those situations.She is with Judgement. And if Misaka is the one that called her there is no reason to question what lead to this. There is nothing out of character with this. Doppel and Kuriba and even the scientist have no relation with the dark side of AC, except for hiring Scavenger for help, and as far as Misaka knows, they arent that bad and the whole thing had already concluded. Doppel and Misaka cant prove she has a soul either. For all they know, she is just an AI that imitates Kuriba. The research never found any trace of a soul inside her anyway. The fact is that Doppel believed she had didnt have one after being exposed to the truth. |

I'd rather wait for years than watch the series suffer again.Laplace_kun said: They can always try to omit or change things a bit in order to adapt AB so it makes sense without NT. The story is pretty self-contained since it's primarily about Junko, so I believe it can maybe work.This is easily the best Railgun Season with the least filler content, absence of uncreative anime originals, characters staying true to themselves, and J.C. Staff rocking it with their animation inspite of the unfavorable situation. Gets a 9/10 surely. Daihasei Arc was as awesome as I wanted it to be adapted, and they did justice to the Dream Ranker Arc too. Truly peak adaptation. Nothing new to say because I read the source, but that AB manga reference at the end was cool, tho too bad it can't be adapted unless NT is adapted a bit (which seems like a dream now). Pretty lighthearted ending, as the Doppelganger saga ends in a bittersweet manner. Till next time; let's hope the next Toaru anime isn't too far away... |

| i really sad now this series end !!! |
| Wow, almost 10 months to finish this. :D Railgun is solid as ever. 8! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| This season was worth all these years of waiting. What a blast! I really missed Railgun, i even rewatched it before starting this season because it has been a long time since i've seen the first 2 seasons and didn't remember much. Really glad i did, and i stepped into this one and immediately got invested on it. It brought us some really solid arcs overall, tipycal Railgun awesomness, and last but not least, we got to see more from Misaka and also Shokuhou that entered the main scene, and she rocks! 9/10, what's next? First season of New Testament? Guess we'll have to wait and see! |
 |
| While an anime with just 12 episodes can be rushed, one with 25 can be too long. I mean, it´s nice having Railgun again, but the first cour (the first 12 - 15 episodes) was focused just in a single (and the main) event, which felt dragged out in my opinion. I think less episodes for it would be more than enough without being rushed. The second cour was more variety, with more than one main event. I didn´t enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the second season (Railgun S) but it was still nice. PS.: I still can´t havent overcome the fact that they let go that bastard dude from episode 6 without a proper (bunchs) of punches on that fatty face, after what he did to Kongo that was more than deserved... but no... director-kun decided to let him go.. the poor guy.. he was such a good boy... |

| Great season overall, i rate 9/10 Hope to not have to wait many years for an sequel.... |
 |
| I can't wait to see Misaki and Misaka to properly seen being friendly with each other while their friends are there. I like how they ended it. I am one of those who rather have a 24-26 for a season instead of just 12-13 episodes.. I mean, in a story, there's so much detail to look forward to like their background stories whether they're main characters or simply sub-characters to properly flesh out their upbringing and desires. I really loathe it when they simply give us a 1-5 mins summary of their background stories and then make us forgot who they were and making it like they're just disposable characters in the end. This season on the other hand displayed some characters in Index III but weren't given any background stories to portray their own volition (goals and ideals) as a character. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
Crowterrror said: i like a lot this season any knows if its will be some of more anime of "To aru"? any annoiunce? other thing Railgun is based in NL or manga? thanks Railgun is a manga series. |
What a ride this season! I enjoyed every single episode and through out the season, J.C Staff was so consistent in the adaptation! This is the best adaptation in whole To aru so far. Pretty impressive i say to be consistent in a 2 cour anime to a highly praised anime like Railgun. I hope they can be like this on Index lol Overall everything about this season is almost perfect! The pacing, animation, characters and the story arcs. I'm speechless how great Railgun T. If we compared this to last season Railgun S this is the best Railgun season because on how so consistent it was. In terms of Arc, Daihasei = Sister's Arc (both can equal out because they are both good af) and Dream Ranker > Silent Party. Personally my favotite arc is still Sister's Arc because of Accelerator and Mugino/ITEM are so badass in this arc. Is this the very last season of Railgun or there's a possibility of new season in the future? I hope theres more. If this is the very last one of this series i will be sad af so much heartbreak for me this season with my favorite anime ending after many years like Oregairu and Food Wars, now its Railgun it hurts so much. So i will give my bias overall score of 10/10 I love this series and Misaka so much! |

And they dont realize that the trauma that Misaka caused to him is what leads to his demise in Index. You dont always need violence to punish a scumbag. |
| I dislike how the author of Railgun always try to make a happy end even if he has to make some asspull to accomplish that. In the first cour, after everything that Mitori did to try to get revenge for friend...they show that Dolly had a "sister" that was being kept away since forever for some reason and now it's fine for her to leave that place to travel around the city. Now in this last episode instead of simply let the doppelganger die and disappear the author instead made her appear on Kuriba's dreams (yeah a dead cyborg now appear on someone's dreams) so it would not look like she is completely dead. Why? I prefer happy endings too, but not when the author has to twist reality to make it happen. I found it so retarded when they showed that Dolly had a "sister" (which is strange since she was just prototype clone of Misaka) that had all her memories and appeared out of sudden JUST SO she could reunite with Mitori (and Shokuhou). Mitori getting completely unscathed after trying to destroy the city is also stupid. If she succeeded everyone would have died, but since she failed and she was doing that to try to take revenge for her friend, then it's fine...let's relax and not think about that. I like the first 2 seasons of Railgun way more than this one for sure. |

I despise woke people. |
| After got disappointed by Index 3 and Accelerator, I thought JC Staff got tired and gave up on the Index series. I'm glad that the quality improved again in this series. What I like most is the Imagine Breaker sound was restored in this series, seemed like many people complained about that. While Railgun is more lighthearted on story, I agree with @KaeUBW that this season is too happy go lucky than previous seasons. Mitori's sadness and anger was simply invalidated when Dolly's sister with her memories implanted appeared. I was like "what's Mitori doing all that for?". Looking at what happened to Frenda in Index 3, I wonder what will happen to Saten then. I hope it will be covered in next season. |
LeonLanfordSep 27, 2020 5:27 PM
| This arc was a lot better than Daihasei Festival. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| What an ending! Glad that the cyborg girl survived! And the whole sister x Kongou scene was pretty nice. I do wonder now if there will ever be a 4th season, would love to see that. Will be waiting to the next season. 9/10  |

| Technically speaking though, the real reason the sisters were created weren't shown in the anime. smh for not depicting OT6's epilogue in the Index anime. |

SandyBoi said: Technically speaking though, the real reason the sisters were created weren't shown in the anime. smh for not depicting OT6's epilogue in the Index anime. Radio Noise was mentioned in Railgun S. I don't remember if it was mentioned in T. Also, I forgot to add in the previous post, Dolly's sister isnt Dolly. Both Mitori and Misaki acknowledged that. Saying she is the same person is like saying all Sisters are the same person... Which totally ruins the Sisters arc. |

| A very solid 9.5/10 for me. JC Staff once again did not disappoint when it comes to railgun adaptation, although they screwed up everything else. They probably put all their budget and best manpower into adapting railgun and i am really thankful for that. Despite the pandemic and the long break the quality did not drop, the cast is still great and i'm totally loving misaki x misaka moments. Hope we get to see more of those in the future. The ending there with the dolly trio was really touching too. The great thing about railgun is the nichijou banter plus a touch on the academy city's darkside and it truly delivers, hopefully we don't have to wait too long for S4 |

By making another version of her with all her memories is almost like reviving her. |

By making another version of her with all her memories is almost like reviving her. Your complaints make no fucking sense. Railgun never had sad endings, in filler or canon, and there is no reason to force them here. Hell, even the circumstances of the characters arent as bad as of what others had to go through in previous arcs. All the Sisters literally share all their memories. With your logic the ones that survived Accelerator's Level 6 Shift are the same people as the ones that died. Dolly is dead. Dolly didnt reunite with Mitori and Misaki. Her sister has the memories/info but no experience. It is no different from someone that was watching a show. Just because you saw someones wedding doesnt mean you were there. Characters that were dead stayed dead, new friendships ended as fast as they were formed, and worst of all, the end implies that Doppel had a soul so her pain and plan were misguided all along. Good thing that Misaka doesnt even believe in the concept of a soul or else she would have the burden of FREAKING MURDER. But hey some of the characters got a relatively happy ending so this is forced.... |
ssjokg said: Nah I wouldnt say that the end implies that Doppel had a soul so her pain and plan were misguided all along. I think its just there because people who get organ transplants or blood donations report feeling like if the donor is inhabiting their mind because they suddenly have changes of food preferences or sexual preferences Dont know how close to “human design“ those robot parts are but if they function so well it works side by side with real human organs it could maybe be functioning at a cellular level but dont know But lol hell the author of Index might say the soul is actually real because magic is real so I could completely wrong despite soul doesnt exist in the real world |

And even if they did, if Doppel was just an advanced AI then there is no reason for those parts to affect a real body. And I am not saying that Doppel had a soul. But the possibility is there. And that is what makes it worse, especially when we, unlike Kuriba,Doppel and Misaka, know about the magic side and how those superstitions can be real. And....LN spoiler And for people that have seen Index 1-2 there is also Kazakiri Hyouka. |
| It's over I was so happy when S3 was announce now it's over and now I'm depressed again. I wanted to see more of Mitori, Shouko and the Clone traveling |
| Almost 10 months after the first episode aired, then after numerous delays due to the bastard pandemic, we've finally reached the final episode. It was a pretty good way to round up this arc in particular and even the filler added to this episode was really good, too. =) Overall, I'll give the third season a 9/10, just like the previous Railgun seasons. It's hard to choose which arc was the best, either the Sisters arc or the Daihasei Festival arc. One thing for sure is that this season has had the best production quality to date and, personally, some of the most impressive animated fights this year, both in terms of traditional animation as well as the really good CGI from the previous episode. You've done yourself proud, JC Staff. ^_^ |
| Finally caught up to Railgun T. I binged Index I and II and all of Railgun this week and I have to say that this season is definitely the best among the ones I had seen so far in the whole series (haven't watch Index III and Accelerator, but I don't really have high hopes for those) . 9/10 for this one. I'll definitely check the manga soon. Thank you JC staff can't wait for more Railgun content in the years to come :) |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| Just finished watching, I give it 9.5/10 and wonder why all new anime *cough* Higurashi remake *cough* can't be made with quality even nearly as high as in second and third seasons of Railgun. C'mon J.C.Staff at least give DanMachi the same budget! Basically I liked almost everything in Railgun T and very few things I disliked was done with so high quality that I can't find it in myself to complain. Sisters arc still the best, tho Daihasei is really near. I laughed so hard at Misaki x Kuroko scene mid-episode, talk about hunter becoming the prey lmao |
| ah the series finale sure was wholesome and made for a nice watch It's been fun It's a 9/10 for me i hope for another season you gotta love how they say "never a dull moment in this city" |

| Another very lovely and enjoyable season of Railgun I must say. The first chapter was definitely the better one of this season as it was well laid out and processed quite nicely. The other's however did felt a bit rushed if I must say anything about it in comparison with the first. A better balance of the chapters would've been slightly better but also not much. So all in all we still got so much room to expand this world that I'd always love to see a sequel to this or to anything else of this franchise to be honest! |
 |
| This final arc was kind of mess chronologically speaking (the Saten and Kuroko parts seem to take place concurrently). I can't say the series was bad, and in fact was often impressed by the effort put into the animation, but the vast majority of it just seemed to lack any impact. The setting has weight... but the character actions and plot development don't. The ecchi and exposition levels are also annoying high. |
| I feel like an idiot that I didn't realize the T stood for Third Season, and subsequently S was Second season, until they actually showed it. And it's over. It's going to be a long dry spell until god knows when, going without any To Aru series anime. |
| I will miss this show. Lets hope we dont have to wait nearly 10 years for the next. PS: could the people complaining about "filler" just stop watching anime already? |

| Yo can anyone please tell me what's the story or what happen in the future between kuroko with miyama (that elementary school boy), saten with frenda, and those group with kakine (maybe also misaka and kinuhata- "chou" girl), are their story just got cut off in middle of episode in the anime adaptation or there is specific story/arc for them in index serries or LN ? Please let me Know PS: Neither i have not read the novel nor watch index series yet, so please just let me know if their stories is on index series cuz i will go watch it soon. if it's on the LN, then it's ok for me to know what happen.

| Now I'm kinda sad that it's over :( but I hope for a comeback in the future. Maybe I'm gonna go for the novels in the meantime because this franchise has a damn interesting world and I would love to explore it more in-depth. 7/10 for the first half 8/10 for the second |

| A nice finale to another great season of Railgun. It's sad knowing we probably won't see another season anytime soon. The scene with Kongou meeting Misaka's sister again was the highlight of the episode for me. |
