| 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? |
| *sigh* This entire season was a massive trainwreck and I was hoping against hope that JC Staff can actually deliver on two...no just one scene. And of course they royally fuck it up. You can't even say they just fucked it up, nope not at all. This level of tone deaf is surreal. If Index 3 was supposed to be a highlight reel, a shoddily done one at that, then why in the hell didn't they end it with Index's line to wrap up OT? Instead...they had Touma play Rose in Titanic? Like wut? I mean I get that Index's importance to the plot is a running joke for the most part, but that scene in the novel had emotional impact. Oh well straight up 5/10 just cause it's Index. 10/10 would not recommend. |
| Finally it ended ... It was not that bad of episode, some of the episodes were utterly atrocious so that was at least something. I mean could only like Mikoto scenes =/ Still have no idea what was the reason adding Birdway, not adding but just showing her into this season and ruining the "death ending". Kinda obvious that he is alive, but ... And i really like Birdway ... Aleister's scene was at least decent, well that was a minute. So how it ended pretty much confirmed NT adaptation so behold for another disaster. The amount of characters will increase drastically - the amount of destroyed characters. Best thing J.C.Staff had done for this season how they showed New Light, funny enough it didn't feel at all like this in LN. Overall 5/10 with all my love to Index series and WW3 is still my favorite arc. Hope for a decent Accel anime. And really hope they won't ruin next Railgun. |
 |
| And people were bitching about the Neverland adaptation, lmao. This get's barely a 5/10 or better said 4,5/10 from me due to the characters and because I actually liked a few parts, but overall really underwhelming. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Finally, my suffering is over, i'm glad this is over. Touma vs Fiamma is so pathetic and garbage. Fuck this!! At least Accelerator white wing looks great. |
| "Just because I’ve gotten weaker, it doesn’t mean that you got stronger, right?" |
| Watching this was one of the most unenjoyable experiences for me in recent memory and is definitely the biggest disaster since Tokyo Ghoul:re S2 |
 |
| This was such a weak adaptation, they couldn't even put more effort in the last episode, Touma's punches barely had any impact, a fcking art on the LN has more impact than what we saw here. I wanted them to end this with Touma dying and just adapting what the final parts showed that he was actually alive if they were planning to make a sequel which by now they most likely will do, that was such a damn bad call. The anime literally didnt have a "Kamijou's 2nd death" thing like the novel had. Oh well, what the heck was I expecting. When the sequel does come around, PLEASE for the love of God, change.the.staff! or at the very least give them a sufficient enough time to work on this. Everything felt rushed, from the animation to the story. 4/10 (And this is being generous) |

TakamakiJoker said: Thank god this pathetic amateur hour of a show is done. I'm not a fan of Index and Index 2 heck the only reason why I brought the DVD/Blu-rays is that I found them for cheap on eBay Despite me not liking Index S1 after episode 6 and the whole of S2 minus the Accelerator stuff they still have a lot of decent things that made an average and kinda fun watch Index 3 took everything that was tolerable and competent and flushes right down the toilet with its abysmal pacing that is on par with the TG re: adaptations, dreadful production values, butchered and confusing story arcs that can piss off anime-only fans such myself, terrible sound effects, especially the new Imagine Breaker sound effect. Finally, this show is a poorly directed piece of shit this is by one of the worst directed series I have ever seen. J.C Staff I love you as a studio but for the love of god please don't screw up Railgun and Accelerator. 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. Fuck my life 1.5/10 I swear to Christ if they fuck up the Railgun series..... |
 |
| I didn't understand a fuck of the whole season. And stop spoiling things you fucking light novel readers. |
 |
| Toaru Majutsu no Index @ Anime = Embarrassing Fail ,Season 4 NO THANKS! But look on the bright side, at least it gave birth to the hugely amazingly better Railgun series, can't wait for season 3 !! |
| What in the fuck was all that with Accellerator? He just flew off and wasn't seen again till he was captured. What the fuck was that? Did they miss something? Horrible season. One of the greatest travesties I've ever witnessed. Very sad. Nurguburu said: AMAZING ENDING FOR THE WHOLE SHOW. 8/10 for the anime. Did you actually watch this season? How on earth could you tell what was going on at any point? I couldn't follow anything. So many pointless characters and plots that were totally unimportant to the main storyline. AND THE GROUPS. Fuck the groups. |

| Finally I can take this garbage off my watching list Don't get me wrong, the first two seasons of Index were pretty mediocre by themselves, but this one was something else |
  |
| lol what a shit show but im interested on the new characters in the end |

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. |

| So the very bitter end, I’ve next to no clues on what was going on. Sweet, that’s the ToAru Majutsu Index III for you. Rather ambiguous ending too, I wonder if J.C. Staff and Kadokawa are thinking of adapting the sequel novel series here too. As an anime-only, I’ve to say “Please, no!” but well as long as it’s profitable to them, why not I suppose. Accelerator’s bit at the beginning was pretty darn cool with the animation going up a notch too! I’m not entirely sure how Last Order came back to life like that (she didn’t die in the first place, then again) but that was pretty much his whole motive and it’s good to see him prevailing. Another cool scene of him breaking free after getting captured by Academy City (?), “It’s a triumphant return, you bitches.” Those wings and that angelic appearance though, totally clueless. Moreover, I don’t get who Misha Krueschev and Aleister really are entirely so it was kind of hard to understand bits and pieces from here and there too. To make things worse, we even get to see two new Characters appear out of the blue. Touma’s muted words to Index’s magical staff does pique my curiosity though but I’m sure I wouldn’t understand anyway xD. Touma, as the usual, took down both his opponents with a punch while they were kind enough to let him do so was mind-boggling to me yet again. Takitsubo Riko potentially having the ability to become the ‘8th’ was definitely interesting but it was funny how that lady just got beat so easily thanks to an unpredictable third party’s interference. Misaka eagerly looking to help Touma, on both occasions before and after the major incident, was very touching to see. I was sure we’d get a happy ending but alas this was probably the furthest thing from it. Finally, we got to see that princess and her assistant find Touma’s unconscious, but most importantly alive, body. I wonder what they’re up to now. Meanwhile, the war has officially ended it seems. I don’t know if I’m just stupid here but nearly nothing in this episode/much of the season in fact made sense to me. I do plan to give the original source material a read through sometime this Summer so hopefully things are far clearer there. For now, all I can say is I’m totally disappointed with this despite having little to no hopes even. I’m just looking forward to Railgun 3 now, hopefully that’ll deliver at least! 4/10 to this series and I’m being quite lenient and generous here. |

| Rushed mess but still not what I'd consider "bad". Just a shame really, after how many years we had to wait. Hopefully New Testament will be better |
 |
| It is finally over. Over. Yeah! Last episode was as messed as previous ones. Focus jumping back and forth. Known and unknown entities doing things of no sense. Who wants explanations anyway? And we definitely needed more characters. And guess what? It was not even concluded in any reasonable way. Just more cliffhanging. P.S. Fiamma's clothes are damn ugly. Feels like he is wearing striped pajama. Bloody pajama. Who wears pajama in Siberia during winter? |
| I hate bleach, it seemed a boring generic shonen with a protagonist also one-dimensional and not at all interesting, but now I see that his first part up to the "soul society" seems to me infinitely better done than all these seasons of index, just compare how it's done the first episode very similar between both and will realize how bleach is much more solid direction and serves as an introduction, in index nun did not have a point in history, since touma always gets involved in every conflict she finds out of pure whim, unlike Rukia, who by her nature was discovered by ichigo thanks to her particularity of seeing spirits. Now I appreciate a little more bleach |

BestJo said: And stop spoiling things you fucking light novel readers. Hur? The only "spoiler" people mentioned here are the whole Leivinia saved Touma scene from NT2, and that part was showed in near the end of this episode so it's hardly a spoiler. Most of the stuffs people mentioned here are the scenes that's supposes to shows up in this episode but the anime skipped it for some reason. xenovibe said: I wouldn't solely blame it on the director.

| Now I wonder how many people will be like "They're just saving their effort for NT". I knew from the first couple of episodes that the quality and pace wasn't gonna get any better. Turns out it only got worse XD Not an LN reader, but at least the first two seasons felt comprehensible. This was a mess throughout. If there's one this this anime achieved, it was that it convinced me to start the LN series. Would give a 3/10, but Accelerator moments were decent, so a 4/10. |
 |
| Not a bad ending for the season. Accelerator with those wings. Touma was finally able to defeat Fiamma with that punch. 6/10. |

| @Zei33 Yes, S3 is not so bad to the point of a score below 5-6. Battle Royale Arc was the only arc with "bad" pacing. Everything else was decent (especially Acqua of the Back Arc and the WWIII). This is not a disaster like Tokyo Ghoul:re S2 (I read the manga). It's all connected and doesn't feel unimportant (I saw some people complaining about Hamazura's role in the last few episodes, Mugino being alive or people that don't remember characters from S1 or S2 lmao). It's not the anime fault. Also, I don't think that bad animation = bad episode, there must be credible emotion that I got from the last arc -something that shows with good animation like OPM or Violet Evergarden don't do it and yet the score is >8.5. This season follows the same structure from the last two seasons but with fast pacing. And it concludes the entire conflict between Touma, God's Right Seat and the Roman Catholic Church and expand the mystery about Aleister. Let's not forget about Accelerator development. Also, >pointless characters >Black Clover and Boruto 6/10 and Boku dake ga Inai Machi 10/10 ??? |

Oh please, it’s 200% Nishikori’s fault, Kamachi’s script had little problem in tying up all the story threads. Of course the script isn’t going to work if you cut out roughly 50% of it. They even flat out skipped 2 books worth of contents, but sure let’s blame Kamachi for JC and the anime team’s incompetence. Also I know it’s Nishikori’s fault, cause I know the man’s career, with the exception of azumaga Daioh (which was nearly impossible to fuck up), the man had the touch of death. He is very bad at anything requiring even a remote bit of plot planning. |

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. Both better than this shit, without a doubt in my mind. |

THIS THIS is the real problem with this shitty adaptation , it brings bad reputation to the LN , it's a shame to the LN fuck jc staff and nishikiori. |
|
| Finally Toaru Index re: aka Tokyo Ghoul re is over. I have never seen a show that so incompetent and broken in my life. Even Franxx despite being a train wreck by many fans was still more competent than this pathetic excuse of a production. 1/10 |
| 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 ? |
 |
Lame 0/10 Redo it again |
| Disappointed at this adaption.. One of my most favorite series... RUINED |
| well the series was okayissh..but got a little complicated in between |
 |
| 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. |
