Here's the scene so other people can decide: The fact that it was instead given to Kuroko just goes to prove that there really wasn't an attempt to to make Mikoto look better. For the record it also proves that Mikoto stopping those bank robbers the way she did in the anime wasn't OOC. Quote:
Besides, the actual context wasn't even in manga, it's from the Index novel which doesn't make it into the Index anime. They just brought it from the novel as a shout out. The fact that we don't specifically know why he was chewing that finger has got to be one of the most minor things to be throwing up your arms in the air about. People watching Railgun S will have already seen the first season of Index so not knowing why he chewed the finger doesn't result in anything. We already know what his shtick is. We don't need the full context of a finger chewing because that was only just a hint in the original novels which isn't required here. Quote:

Listen, I'll own up to the fact that I'm biased towards Nagai. He's done a lot of great stuff recently over the years that I rate faaaar higher than the Index franchise. And he's had a hand in what is probably my most favourite aspect of the Index franchise. I won't lie that I have certain amount of reservations with his ability to write but it's something I can forgive. I don't worship the Index franchise and I've already been burned by it, so I guess to me if his greatest sin is that he directed a subpar anime adaptation of one of the most overrated franchises in the medium (imo), I guess I just can't find it in me to hold that against him.
@ Hiss13 - Apologies for being so defensive on the matter. I didn't mean it personally. But whatever this "comprehensive list" is I'm not interested in picking it apart one by one. If it's anything like examples you've been giving me so far, I've no doubt that I could given the time but I've already spent way too much time on this subject. But I'm glad you took the time to explain these things to me as opposed to being a snide little prick in the corner of the room.

Offers peace, then proceeds to say "a subpar anime adaptation of of one of the most overrated franchises in the medium". Yeah.
EDIT: Also, you guys still arguing over Mikoto? Really? It's been going on for fucking years already.

Listen, it's my honest opinion on the matter: I can't help that. Better that you know where I'm coming from so you can decide for yourself right? That wasn't meant to be derogatory either. The Index franchise is one of the biggest franchises out there. Anything less than amazing would be automatically considered overrated. If I thought Evangelion was only "good but not great" I'd probably consider it overrated by default too. It's just as well that I love it to bits.

*reads the whole thread so far*
When the most popular character in the entire franchise gets a pass from doing pretty much the same things our TouMAN does because she is a top-tier waifu. /LUL And people actually prefer a new season of Railgun than a new season of Index just to see Mikoto doing cute things again. /MegaLUL And if they do prefer Index over Railgun, it's because they want to see Accelerator's edgelord moments. /SuperLUL My goodness, TouMAN just can't catch a break. |

1) I've never had an issue with Touma being a paragon of justice. It's actually what I've liked about him. The only thing I dislike are the stupid debates that he has with the antagonists but I pin that down to lousy writing and shitty antagonists rather than a reflection on his character. 2) I'm not really that into Misaka Mikoto. Her character is good and I really enjoyed the Sister arc in Railgun S but that's as far as it goes. 3) I'd much prefer a new season if Index than Railgun. For me, Railgun is just a side story at the end of the day. I think it's had moments that has exceeded the main series but I still prefer the main series due to its relevancy. 4) Accelerator was ironically one of the few things I liked about Index Season 2.

1) That is why I am glad to see more villains in NT who are actually smarter about fighting Touma and can actually break his spirit. 2) Same here, and I actually like it how she turned better in NT despite getting fewer and fewer screen time sometime after her fight with Brynhildr. 3) Same here, but if there is only one thing I am hyped about on Raligun III, it's the team up of Touma and Gunha vs Level 6 Mikoto (Level 5.53 to be exact). 4) I like Accelerator as well, I hope his Round 2 with Touma gets some justice on Index III. |

Also, @JudasMartel I agree that Mikoto got a lot better in NT especially recently. It's been pretty encouraging. Edit: Lastly, the thing I'm most excited for in season 3 is getting Hamazura some deserved fans.

I've only seen the Index animes, and skipped Railgun because I don't care for Mikoto, and wasn't interested in watching an anime mostly focused on her and her sisters. However, is Railgun integral to the rest of the story, and what may happen in Index III?

Mikoto is a solid character in Railgun and she acts differently when she isn't with Touma so even if you don't like her interactions with Touma it's probably worth watching. The railgun filler is also good... but anyway... yeah.
