Boruto is smearing shit over Naruto’s rotting corpse. I have no idea why you would have it 6/10, not even for nostalgia.


I'm admittedly on the edge of dropping it but anything above 5 stays in my watching list. Since I'm still watching boruto waiting for it to get good (it must eventually), it's a 6. Same with black clover. Hoping it gets good, has potential.

With that ending NT is pretty much confirmed now. Let's hope JC staff learnt their lesson by now you can't be a greedy bastard adapting more than 10 shows a year.



how the hell is it non-canon lol?


In OT22, Touma faced his "Second death" in the Arctic ocean and we didn't know until NT that Birdway picked him up.
Also, there was the "Different power" that crushed the IT but they instead made IB crush it. Absolut fuck ups.

Two points in regards to that,
One, showing a scene that technically happened then but wasn’t shown earlier as foreshadowing doesn’t make anything non canon

And for the IT scene, nevermind the part where none of us actually know the real facts about the scene, that “second” power actually was shown. Someone pointed it out to me but at the base of the “hand” you actually see a that very same thing happening as described

Also, can this hack Nishikiori stop directing anime now? Nishikiori may be competent with Angelic Layer and Azumanga Daioh back then but his directing Index series proves that his an incompetent clown that has no businesses directing anime.
1.5/10


I wouldn't solely blame it on the director. It's pretty obvious by now that whoever wrote the To aru series is largely an "ideas" guy who throws everything but the kitchen sink in terms of new terminologies and characters yet can't properly tie together the different plot threads in a way that both makes sense and is interesting to save his life.

You can try shining a turd as much as you want but at the end of the day, it's still crap.

THIS is the real problem with this shitty adaptation , it brings bad reputation to the LN , it's a shame to the LN

Foreshadowing?
No. This is not how they supposed to do it. They killed all the tension behind his second death and we don't know how Birdway even dragged him from the arctic ocean in the first place.

About the IT. I get what you mean I saw it as well. But, that doesn't mean they couldn't show it the proper way since in OT2 it was invisible as well(The blood made it transparent).

Even Franxx despite being a train wreck by many fans was still more competent than this pathetic excuse of a production.

This third season was pretty bad adaptation.

This episode was not that bad,Touma Mikoto scene was cute.

But why did they show Birdway rescuing Touma in this season,it should have been in NT.This reduces the feeling of Mikoto finding Touma's strap in the Arctic.


Accel and Aleister scene was cool though.


I hope Accel and Railgun III will be good.Also if they ever decide to do NT Anime please improve production value.




Overall,i give this season 5/10.

Jesus this was absolute garbage from start to finish... It has some cool moments but overall... Holy crap. I absolutely love the universe man but the direction of this show is just plain bad. The fight at the end with Fiama was sooooooooooooooooo bad. I actually consider it an insult... I don't know how they delivered the episode with a straight face... Accelarator was all that was worth it for me in this season. His white wings were super cool but... "I'm gonna stop that thing" > Dissapears > Next scene we see him in the plain captured? Did I miss something or ?

My patience was tested with how inconsistent Index season 3 has been. I do love the franchise a lot, but seeing at how this season got rushed with sloppy pacing, inconsistent visuals and lackluster animation, my faith and respect in J.C Staff is a lot lower now. =/

On the bright side, Accelerator's wings transformation in front of Last Order was actually really good, great visuals and animation. Sadly, we didn't see him again until he got captured. It felt like a slightly wasted potential right there.

Toma's punch still hypes me up and Fiamma and Misha got what they deserved, so I'm happy with that. What I didn't expect was seeing Aleister making his appearance and showcased just how much more powerful he is against Fiamma. Damn.....

Overall, this long-awaited season 3 has failed to meet the hype that the fans wanted it to be, mine included. I'll keep my fingers cross that the upcoming Accelerator anime and Railgun S3 will be miles better, but I just hope that J.C Staff get their shit together and take their work more seriously than this.

I'm in a generous mood today, so I'll give this season a 6/10.

Well the Trainwreck is finally over.

I've never seen an established series be so utterly destroyed by piss poor directing and trying to cram everything into 26 episodes.

The first two series were fine but this has been an utter joke. Random characters appearing, scenes jumping from one to another with no explanation. Just look at this episode, accelerator fly's off and boom two minutes later he's strapped to a bed?!

Things started to go wrong at the battle royal arc, I still don't know why this was included seeing as accelerator is getting his own series.

Worst JC Staff anime since Taboo Tattoo

Also shout out to the author who's managed to create so many characters he can fill a fucking football stadium. Focus on your main characters instead of introducing endless waves on nothing characters with no motivation or excuse for being here. Throw on a mind boggling array of terminology and mythology and it's a recipe for disaster.

Overall they pretty much killed Index. 4/10

Nice ending. I especially loved Hamazura and Accelerator's scenes, tho I wish I knew what happend with the latter before he got captures.

And for once I'm happy I didn't read LN. Honestly, this anime wasn't so bad if you don't know source material. Rushed as hell in the beginning, but last arc felt good.

Leaving it with 6/10 for now. Kinda want to give higher just because it's Index lol

Honestly I think calling this season a train wreck is an understatement =l

I'm not judging if people liked or not, maybe some people might haven enjoyed.. still you don't need to read the original to notice how bad adapted this season was.
Everything was rushed to the point I think they skipped as much dialogues and explanations as possible. Characters move from point A to B without any reason most of the time and showed up where they need to be for plot reasons all the time. That is poor direction, they didn't know how to put the pieces together in order to make the story flow having a proper beginning middle and ending. It was simply a rush of key scenes check points, with a lot of missing links and connections between them.

As a bonus we had pretty cheap storyboard most of the time, terrible fight scenes animations even stand still scenes with terrible art.

One of the explanations that comes to my mind is the fact that the studio will be in charge of One Punch man 2 this season, and has being focusing on that for a while leaving Index III behind.

Let's hope Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator and Toaru Kagaku no Railgun 3 will have a better presentation... at least the director from those shows are different ... that's already a good thing =p

Nice to see that the song actually worked and that Last order is back up. Damm Accel's angel mode was most impressive. The falling star sure provided the perfect opportunity for Misaka to arrive though. Despite Touma's unwillingness to risk her life Misaka's effort to save him sure was nice to see. So the reason for him not leaving is because he wants to redirect the star huh. Takitsubo having that much potential in powers sure was surprising. The little ambush that Hamazura set sure was fun as it showed just how much good friendship can bring when things look grim. Well glad that the arc ended on a somewhat good note. Though there were sure some interesting revelations there though. From the scenes in the end seems there will be sequel then.

To be honest I think people are forgetting this ain’t a decade ago where people hardly knew novel materials.

Very confusing season overall, but that doesn't mean that i didn't enjoy it. I really like this franchise, the past 2 seasons were pretty decent, but this one gets a 6/10 from me and i'm being really generous.

I really hope that the Accel and Railgun series don't turn out to be like this. PLEASE DON'T.

Glad to see that many, MANY others are echoing almost my exact thoughts.

Many of us now want to go back and read the light novels, if we haven't already.

A lot of people, not just me, barely understood a damned thing this entire season. I thought I was losing my mind there for a minute, but apparently we all were confused lol.

We are all really hoping that Railgun and Accelerator will be better, and we admit that previous seasons of Index and Railgun might have had their flaws, but were still better and more coherent than this.

Too many random characters who we barely know about? Ditto.

Rushed arcs, especially the Battle Royale arc with all the Groups? Agreed.

Touma vs. Fiamma being an absolute joke? Yep. Because apparently, when Touma is launching a long- distance punch at you, your only option is to sit there and take it. Stepping out of the way or deflecting it is obviously not an option in this universe.

Accelerator triumphantly ascending into the sky as an angel.... and now he's being hauled away strapped to a bed in a truck. wat.

Were they trying to imply that Touma died there at the end? How would that have even worked? We all know that Touma survives because 1) He's literally the main character and 2) Even if we haven't read the novels, we still know that they exist and that he's alive in them.

I have more to say, but I'll make it in a separate post.

What an absolute disappointment. This season was all over the place, which made the plot really hard to understand. There were way too many characters, too. Touma just punches things - that's the solution to everything, apparently.

3/10

I'm just going to pretend this season doesn't exist and hope Railgun will be more enjoyable.

Still, that was unnecessary from them though. it should have been kept a secret until NT regardless if people saw NT covers, commercial or anything related to NT content. This also betrays his second death which actually happened, all they needed to do was showing him falling deep in the ocean.
Also, I checked NT1 & NT2, no sequences were similar to what happened at the end. All they did say that they pulled him out from Arctic ocean.

As for more of my review of this episode as a whole: Honestly from an OBJECTIVE standpoint is wasn't that bad. Subjectively, I have some issues with the storyline. But objectively, we had some good moments.

Accel with Last Order was obviously adorable, and his angel scene was cool. Watching Last Order reaching her little arms up to him with those fingerless gloves had to be one of the cutest things I've ever seen. Plus, when Accel tells the people in the truck that "this is a triumphant return, you sons of bitches...." Yes. So much yes.

Touma rejecting being saved by Mikoto, only to risk his life and almost die to protect others from the Star of BT'Salem, was touching. It felt nice and heroic. Really made me feel for Touma in a way that I hadn't in a long time prior.

Speaking of Mikoto, her reaction to finding that little Gekota chain was done very well. I wonder what she's thinking now, and how she's dealing with it.

Fiamma vs. Crowley.... A +. Hell yes.

For once, I actually kinda liked Hamazura's character. For once. He actually seemed to act according to his brutal self. I know that his brutality might shock some people, but I think it suits his character better than crying over Miguno.

Okay, now for my subjective critiques (my objective critiques are in an earlier post).

I was really hoping that we'd finally see a moment between Mikoto and Touma. Seeing them separated at the end like that really felt like my heart shattered. I understand why they did it for the storyline, and I guess it makes sense if they want Touma to end up in the Arctic like that. It's just that, after so long, I would have REALLY liked to see them at least hug or something. Ever since we saw Mikoto get on that plane to Russia, I thought they were kinda building up to that. But instead, we barely even know what the hell she was doing there, because apparently all of her important scenes were cut from the LN.

I still don't understand what Miguno has done to deserve Hamazura's forgiveness. But whatever.

Yep. They actually freaking allowed Fiamma to be saved by Touma. Fiamma doesn't do one damned thing to deserve it, but Touma just saves him anyway. I get that the anime wants to show Touma as a selfless person who will save anyone, but when EVERY. SINGLE. VILLAIN gets saved for virtually no reason, it REALLY starts getting old. That's why I kinda liked Hamazura's 'no bullshit' attitutde towards the Academy City folks in this episode.

This is how this series works. A punch and good argument/ideal(clash) are needed to knock some sense into someone head, it's not like Touma just punches the villain and HOORAY everything works out after that.

This covered all the OT main novels, other than Norse SS, SS2 and Stiyl SP.

But it is not recommended one read NT immediately, unless you know everything that happened in OT and can make sense of everything.

Especially since the anime skipped characters like Hanzou.

Norse SS and SS2 are also kind of necessary for NT.

I disagree. The first death referenced to his memory loss, so the second death definitely means something as well. The chances that OT and NT Touma are different is nothing but a meme. It could be that he actually died but, IT or whatever beyond the right hand restructured his body at some point.

I disagree. The first death referenced to his memory loss, so the second death definitely means something as well. The chances that OT and NT Touma are different is nothing but a meme. It could be that he actually died but, IT or whatever beyond the right hand restructured his body at some point.

The issue with that is how it was written, it clearly is another symbolic meaning rather than him actually dying, otherwise there would be no real reason to write it as "death"

This covered all the OT main novels, other than Norse SS, SS2 and Stiyl SP.

But it is not recommended one read NT immediately, unless you know everything that happened in OT and can make sense of everything.

Especially since the anime skipped characters like Hanzou.

Norse SS and SS2 are also kind of necessary for NT.


so does the new LN start after this? the original novel really ended with them finding his body?


OT ended with Touma going MIA in the arctic waters, he was recovered in NT, the scene they added was anime original scene that is not suppose to occur until NT.

I was confused about this too, at first. OT is Old Testament, MIA is Missing in Action (a common phrase), and NT is New Testament.

People who have read the light novels: "Oh well, at least we got to see Birdway! :D"

The rest of us: Who the hell's Birdway? XD

Don't worry about it, you don't actually know birdway well till NT, at best she appears in side story novels and made cameos.

I feel like a lot of people have over-exaggerated how bad this show is. It's true that it's pretty mediocre, but it's still far better than the true trash of the industry. It had a few good moments here and there, and at the very least it continued the series' trend of kickass soundtracks. THAT SAID, while it's far from the worst anime out there, I started reading the light novels while this season was about halfway through airing, and good lord did this season utterly fail as an adaptation of its source material. I'm on OT 19 at the moment, so I haven't even read WW3 yet, but I honestly didn't need to to tell how poorly it was translated to screen. It seems fairly obvious that this season was underfunded, under-prioritized, and rushed out the door to get to the hopefully (for us and for them) more lucrative New Testament. Not only was the next story arc teased by (or so I'm told) ruining the ambiguity of the LN OT's ending, but the quality drop even from the previous seasons of index was obvious. Seasons one and two were far from perfect adaptations themselves, but they were still tolerable-to-good in quality, entertaining to watch, and paced well enough that anime-only's could mostly understand what was happening, not to mention the drop in production quality between this and the most recent preceding Raildex adaptation (Railgun S) was absolutely ridiculous. That show aired in 2013, this one came out in the same year as shows like Violet Evergarden, Devilman Crybaby, MHA 3, A Place Further than the Universe (wide range of genres there but they share their quality), etc., come on people. All in all, terrible mismanagement here by JC Staff and a terrible waste of good story material. Here's hoping Accelerator (animation looks clean at least), Railgun, and perhaps a future NT adaptation by a better team can get this franchise back on track.

You should least anticipate
Accel mango adaptation, they're not the best but considering the anime adaptation it might be enjoyable with decent pacing.

The real hype was Railgun S, mainly because the peak later arc, not because i am a railgun fags.
This should be kept for later, definitely top on the list.

Then if NT ever got adapted which may announced in future as Miki mentioned about reception and sales,
We'll get the most beloved character in Index which quoted by "Ollerus", One eyed Othinus.
NT9-10 is the peak on NT following NT 20+ later.

I hope JC finished that fking OPM 2 soon because sakuga standard is too high and production committee fucked up themselves by taking too much project at once.
