PREMISE

The secret power struggles between the British Royal Family, Roman Catholic Church, and Academy City has escalated to open conflict. Enemies vie for control over the Misaka supercomputer network and holy relics such as Holy Grail. Touma, Index, Mikasa, and Accelerator team up to prevent the ultimate conflict between science and magic: WWIII.

LIKED!

+
great background art
+
awesome soundtrack & sfx

DISLIKED...

–
disjointed plot & pacing which worsened over the season
–
animation consistency issues & cutting around action
–
new antagonists were introduced haphazardly
–
boring melodramatic monologues

OTHER THOUGHTS

•
S3 tried to cover 10 source Light Novels, instead of Season 1&2’s usually 5-6.
•
The director received hate mail for this season.

CLOSING REMARKS

A non-stop shark-jumping marathon, with decreasing production quality—this season was clearly rushed and running out of budget. Even fans familiar with the plot dislike this adaptation. Skip!!
