It has finished and I felt like I should make a review (just so it wouldn't be crowded with just negative reviews). So here we go:
The story for Index III isn't that bad. Personally I didn't think that it was rushed nor did I thought that it was confusing. Index has always been like this when if you don't pay attention there is a high chance in which you would be lost. Though I do admit that plenty of things were explained a lot better in the novels but this isn't a review of that but more as if I were an anime-only watcher.
The art
...
is fine. Like the characters do look different from each other. But the only reason why it's a 6 in this category is because I know it could have been done better as some of the CG wasn't that great (I'm looking at you tornado wings) and that sometimes the characters can look off-model.
Sound wise it is quite good. The voice actors feel like they did a really good job and gave me performances I wasn't expecting to hear (like Mugino and Misaka Worst for example). The OST was pretty good though a nitpick I had was that an emotional scene could have something that would fit an exposition scene for example.
Of course like any anime there has to be good opening and ending themes to go along with it to help with the experience and I'll start with the openings. While I do really like Graviation, I feel like it overstayed its welcome a bit more than it should have. And as for ROAR... I feel like it is the most visually impressive of all the ops in the Index series (even if the "Engrish" can sound weird during the chorus).
As for the endings... well it is hit or miss just like the other eds in the series. ED1 might be my least favorite of the endings mostly for how forgettable it is while I will be able to remember ED2 pretty well even if I am not sure if it fits the WW3 arc...
One of the things that I always liked about Index would be the character cast and how well they interact with each other and the situations that they get in and it didn't disappoint me this time around. Though just don't expect Misaka to do much as there's always Railgun 3 coming up and Accelerator is just Accelerator doing his own thing.
And while I would like to continue talking about the cast... I shouldn't really be going to spoiler material (hence why this section might be the most vague of them all).
Now I don't think Index III is anywhere close to being a butchered adaptation compared to something like Date A Live III or even Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria. Instead I see this as a flawed adaptation but that didn't meant that I didn't enjoy myself. In fact I thought it was a really nice ride getting through this weekly as there were plenty of moments that I was glad to see getting animated.
I am not here to make you change your mind as I am perfectly fine with you being disappointed with the way this series turned out and if I had to say one thing about this season it would be: I am glad that it exists.
