So..

I was checking A Certain Magical Index as I'm thinking of watching it next but going through all the airing dates for TV, Specials, Movie, OVAs, Railgun and Accelerator, I didn't find any that aired in 2012?

That or MAL has it wrong

I don't think the movie is part of the Canon so can watch that one any time

@Mashiro Blue

Rail is basically Makoto's point of view of everything that happens in Index

Index shows the magic side

Railgun shows the science side

I say start with Railgun because it gives background info on the arcs that Misaka is in, in Index.

Something like this:

Index Season 1
Railgun Season 1
Railgun Season 2
Index Season 2
Miracle of Endymion Movie
Accelerator
Railgun Season 3
Index Season 3

You can swap Index 2 and Railgun 2 around depending on preference. Railgun 3 before Index 3 because Index 3 is very rushed and one of the best arcs (which is horribly rushed in the anime) is better served with the setup from Railgun 3 into it.

I would disagree with this. Index shows Science and Magic, it's the crossing of the two. I don't want to spoil but there are several arcs, particularly in S3, which are purely focused on the Science side with no Magical elements at all. I also think the Sisters arc is better first observed, and then you finding out what leads up to that in Railgun, because it helps contextualise things which before you get to that point initially, you wouldn't have much reason to care about. As in, the DNA map thing isn't something you're likely to care about until you realise what the project ultimately resulted in, and see how that got resolved, and then piecing together how Mikoto got there as you're going through the arc again in railgun

The movie is canon, and should be after Season 2 because Kuroko is in a wheelchair as a result of her injuries from Musujime, which otherwise comes out of nowhere, and it has Accelerator with his cane.

Sadly nothing. Index has so many light novels left to adapt (and counting) that I have no idea if or when we'll get more. Railgun doesn't have quite enough content to adapt I would guess, after where the anime ended, the manga has one completed arc and one almost completed arc, and each season usually covers two arcs, so I would assume another season would be in place after that arc has finished. If I had to guess, maybe in a year or two? It's the 20th anniversary of the series though so I'm hoping some other side material gets adapted, like Astral Buddy or the Kanzaki side stories.

Ah I'm used to movies being non canon

🤔you do have a point with watching Index sisters arc first, but for me I'd rather see what lead to something first

Whenever I first watched index years ago I was confused because it didn't really explain what the Sisters were they just kinda appeared. Then I watched Railgun and it explained more

 

[Mashiro Blue]

Railgun 1
Index 1
Railgun 2
Index 2
Railgun 3
Accelerator
Index 3

Thank you

After reading the explanation going with Waifubro's suggestion.

I see I'm gonna immerse myself in at least two to three weeks of Index/Railgun

I guess it would depend on the series like The Quintessential Quintuplets, Rascal does not Dream of Bunny Girl and Kaguya-sama First Kiss Never Ends are all canon and a continuation of the OG. But then you also have side stories made movies like Re:Zero which complements the source material or completely unrelated and non canon movies like Danmachi Movie and Date a Live Movie.

It's still not dubbed? They sure are slow

We're getting S5 this Fall iirc

It's the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya all over again xD

I guess this is the way to watch things first from Mikasa's perspective then the guy's perspective right after, following the timeline as chronologically as possible without jumping back to previous arcs. Much appreciated.

I started yesterday with 4 eps of Index and it's very interesting so far.
