And So the Index franchise is back with another season, at the time of the review the 9th episode had just finished airing so without further ado let's get in with it.

I love it !! The first thing I loved about the third season is the stakes, this season is a direct follow up of Index ii so we all know the God's Right seat are the villains this time around. It starts off with Touma facing off against them as always but what I particularly like about this season so far are how multiple protagonists are popping up. In fact, I think this ... is the first time we have so many character perspectives in a single season. FYI this season alongside Touma we are getting two new protagonists, Accelerator and Hamazura.

There's, of course, the usual amalgamation of pacing problems, completely new characters that end up fighting and killing without any explanation. The character introduction scenes have been cut short is what I can tell as an Anime-only viewer. Particularly if you ask me the episodes 4-6 were a mess, but if you are the kind of viewer who follows every single dialogue like me then it isn't much of a problem as the essence of the arcs are conveyed. However, I will suggest reading the Light novels if you want to enjoy this season as that's what most of the LN readers have said.

Characters: To Aru's strong point has always been its characters and it has plenty of those.

Art: 7 is the best rating I can manage, either JC Staff is lazy or they are just not invested in Index III.

Enjoyment: 8, if you are okay with a few unexplained details I'm sure better arcs are coming up!
