Note: pretty much just airing order, but with the first two seasons of Railgun paired togetherĬustom order #2 (semi-chronological): Index ep.1-14 > Railgun > Railgun S > Index ep.15-20 > Accelerator > Index ep.21-24 > Index II ep.1-7 > Movie > Index II ep.8-13 > Railgun T ep.1-15 > Index II ep.14-24 > Index III ep.1-6 > Railgun T ep.16-25 > Index III ep. The Index side of things is not dependent on Railgun in any significant way (Saten's first appearance outside Railgun is, I believe, in the movie, but nothing else comes to mind), so you don't need to watch any of Railgun for things to make sense.The order everything released in (simple answer): Index > Railgun > Index II > Railgun S > Movie > Index III > Accelerator > Railgun TĬustom order: Index > Railgun > Railgun S > Index II > Movie > Index III > Accelerator > Railgun T If you like Index but not Railgun, do the following: A Certain Magical Index: Durch Medikamente und Hypnotisieren kann man in Menschen bestimmte Fhigkeiten wecken.
If after finishing Railgun season 2, you want to continue with Index, pick Index season 1 back up wherever you left off and then watch Index season 2 and the Index movie. If you find Index too abominable to bear with, just drop it and start at episode 1 of Railgun season 1 - you won't have missed out on much.
Index season 1 up through the Deep Blood arc has almost nothing to do with what happens in Railgun through the end of season 2, aside fromīut I would suggest watching it anyway to get a feel for the Raildex universe.

The Sister's Arc is 4 episodes in Index and 14 in Railgun S as such the Railgun S version's enjoyment should clearly take priority, especially considering the fact that it is the primary arc of the entire Railgun series (and arguably the best arc of the entire show). A Certain Magical Index-tan ( () ) is an original video animation series included in the Japanese release of the first and fifth Blu-ray and DVDs of each season of A Certain Magical Index, which features a chibified Index and parodies of events that take place in the series.
