Let's watse my time BOIZ! A review to A CERTAIN MAGICAL PEAKDEX. First of all, I want to say to clueless people who thinks Index is generic/badly written or the characters are trash, that you are indeed CLUELESS. AND SECOND OF ALL, ALL CAPITAL LETTERS HERE TO PREVENT READING COMPREHENSION, INDEX, IS PEAK FICTION THAT GOT COMPLETELY BUTCHERED BY OUR FELLOW FRIEND JC STAFF, THOUGH SAYING JC STAFF AS A WHOLE IS NOT ACCURATE, IT'S WHOEVER DECIDED TO NOT GIVE INDEX THE FATE TREATMENT, THINK AGAIN ABOUT YOUR LIFE CHOICE. Now to calm down, I'll explain to you all, why Index, supposed to be peak fiction on screen,turned to be mid af that no one cares about, I'm snapped.
Characters

"The main character/ all the characters are not interesting blablabla"
Now Damn, JC STAFF! KNOW WHAT A CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IS? NO? DUDEEEE, MUST BE HARD FOR YOU, THOUGH WHY IS MISAKA GETTING ALL THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT MILK? I WONDER WHYYY.
Kamijou Touma, the best written character of all fiction, like I'm serious, I've read Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes, Beserk and all of those masterpieces, but you know what? TouMAN is the one true GOAT, you know why on Anime, he looks stupid af (and it's real, I once thought Touma is boring af), and when I turned to Light Novel, Touma became TouMAN. He got one of the most unique way of developing a character, is to write that character from mere scratch, not from backstories and shiet like that, and Kamachi the god did him justice, MY ADVICE? READ THE DAMN LIGHT NOVEL, Deep blood Arc and Angel Fall got heavily butchered and got all of it's plots altered, and ss3 is a fking mess it hurts my eyes physically. Anyway "It bothers me" is the evidence that TouMAN is peak fiction. And power of friendship? Hero? Villains? AH wait, that's peak quote from TouMAN, can't spoil. TouMAN's ideology is not friendship bullcrap or generic shounen MC's ideologies like every anime watchers thinks, he got the mindset of a fking chad, the peak, the goated. Well I spoiled 2 of his best quotes (kinda spoiled) enjoy those 2 yourselves! One of them is in the Anime, let's check which season could you find- omg... ss3, butcher alert!

-Accelerator the gigachad.
If TouMAN is the one true Gigachad before Gigachad is even a thing, Accelerator is one of those case. Why Accelerator seems interesting on the Anime? OH MY GOD, BECAUSE THEY DON'T BUTCHER HIM AS MUCH, WHAT A SURPRISE INDEED. They knows that people like characters like goatcelerator so they didn't butchered him, but guess what? Only Kamachi have the real official work that made Accelerator looks like a peak character, his own spin-off didn't do that. Unique character development? Maybe? IDK but TouMAN kinda made him the Goat. His power is one of the most unique, top 10 I'd say, in every fiction, and is executed right! Like I'm not gonna spoil it for newbies so it is what it is.

-POWER SYSTEM
EITHER "I CAN'T READ" OR "I DON'T LIKE COMPLICATED STUFFS UWU" if you say it's bad and say Nen is the best (which is objectively not true, Index have the best power system of all fiction)

The concept of espers ability is already unique af, but MAGIC, try to find a series that take all real life magic and mythologies and make it's own magic system, you won't find it, cause it's the FUKING BIBLE. 2004, 60+ volumes, no one gonna top that, lel, except maybe Fate. And Also, Idol theory is the best theory used in a magic power system in any fiction, ever, and explained!.
Oh forgot to mention, my man TouMAN have actual plot armor as his right hand, explained, not like power of friendship bulshiets.

World building.
What? World building? You can't even remember every single details of the world building, it's not immersive, it's the whole fuking world (in the lightnovel it's, uhh outerversal? Idk what it's called). Politics, Factions, cults, religions, countries, small groups of people, organizations, DETAILS ARE DETAILS, ALL OF THEM DETAILED.

Story
Even in our own fanbase, we have tier lists, some volumes are mid cause it's a buildup of something big, or some just got overshadowed by masterpieces like NT9 or 10 the one true goat. The story is peak that even one piece couldn't compare, same for characters and world buildings, speaking as the one who watched 900+ episodes of the series. An arc is in a single volume, some expanded to 2 or 3, which to JC staff, didn't matter, butcher them all, 9 volumes in 26 episodes, ss3 is trash because of that. Well lets not get distracted, every Arc have a new, a whole new story to tell, some introduced new characters and matters, and the man himself TouMAN, who only needs peace and eggs, gotta resolves them, or maybe not! Why? Index is not about Index, the nun loli girl, nor is it about Touma, the main character (-Gigguk), it's about an immersive world, with many characters, resolving their own problems, it's the very basic you need to understand.

To dear railgun anime watcher, if you say railgun is better than Index, it's either the anime that you're talking about, or you're an anime only, or you're coping with lame excuses like science are more interesting, but the fact that you're there for slice of life funny comedy stuffs.

P.S
I snapped. So I'm being a little bit salty, thanks for enduring it.
