Anime is love. Anime is life.  |
| I don't like Index, but I do like Railgun. |
| I like the LN for index but I do like the railgun anime |
| I like Index s1 s2, and Railgun T. The rest of the seasons are meh to me. Railgun s1 and s2 are pretty dull minus the recap from Index seasons. Index s3 is a train wreck. Accelerator is ok, but his edge makes him hard to like. |

| Railgun is one of my favorite anime. Season 1 and 3 are amazing! I also like Index, but only season 1 and 2. |
 |
| Liked Railgun, hated Index, but I believe those who say that the LN is better. |
 |
| I liked index s1 and 2 and railgun s2 (only thee sisters arc of 15 episodes rest 9 episodes were just as boring as s1) I didn't like season 1 of railgun |
 |
| I don’t like the show but I like the characters |
| I am waiting for NT adaptation. |
 |
| I love the characters and the world setting in this anime the most. Yeah it seems to be underwatched but its not bad, it was one of my first animes so it has a special place in my heart. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Index S1, S2, and Railgun T are amazing Railgun (+S) are ok Accelerator is bad Index 3 is NO |

| Well regarding the anime... Index I ain't bad, but it really lacks oomph - while it doesn't make any attempts to do something more than a passable LN adaptation, it also cuts important and interesting stuff. One of the biggest flaws of Index anime is making Touma look like a generic MC. You don't have to even adapt all the inner monologues, you can get at least his portrayal on point! Even Railgun knows how to portray this character right. They failed giving an insight to his childhood misery - the type of past that actually anime villains have. He's a force to be reckoned with, a freak of nature, a gender equality enforcer - the gigachad TouMan. For someone who's from as early as 2004 LN, he's iconic and loved by the novel readers. The overusage of Index as the (annoying) mascot doesn't help, and she brings down the show. The magic side is just half-heartedly portrayed, and the intricate power system Kamachi has built goes to the toilet. Let's move to the manga sauced series (mostly) unburdened by adaptational toughness... Accelerator anime is peak mid. But blame the source. I think the anime did a pretty good job of preventing people from reading the manga. So I won't have much confidence in passionately recommending Index anime to people. Index III still is the main issue because people can still manage to salvage the cut content from first two seasons without reading the LN. Though that won't be enough for the optimum Indexperience. Now I am watching 86 and wondering where were people (the director and his team) like this back in 2008. |

| loved the LN and liked the anime despite how flawed it is as an adaptation of a great LN series |
