The evolution of To Aru Majutsu no Index’s diverse light novel character designs is amply demonstrated in this comparison image, showing some quite considerable changes, which have at times been decried as excessive moefication…
The state of the covers is visible in the below comparison as well:

Somehow, Index's design reminds me of Aeka Shiraki from Yume Miru Kusuri.
The girl in the last picture of Himegami comparison isn't her, the name of that character is Fukiyose Seiri and it's taken from Volume 12 of the light novel
Hint: Check the background.
They are not moeficated NOW they are more expressive look at Hamazura Shiage, Kaori Kanzaki(so hot) or Accelerator faces.
BTW is THE badass of this series together with William GARwell a.k.a Aqua of the Back.
William is still not as badass as the Queen, though.
The queen Elizard??? I thought the Princess Carrisa was more badass defeating Aqua and Touma at the same time.
Just look at her expression when she threw the Union Jack. When you see a face like that, you know you're fucked. Charisa is nothing compared to her.
I checked it, oh man you are right Elizzard is pretty badass.
Queen Elizard= Charles vi Britannia
the title is To aru MAJUTSU no Index.....To aru kagaku no Railgun is a manga spin-off =_=U
I like the MISAKA progression and Index sure looks weird in the earliest designs.
Image is to small to see the posts point of detail
1. Enlarge image ( image will be fit to your screen )
2. View image ( you will view the image seperately at original size )
3. ????
4. Profit
3: Grow some kind of brain.
Theres alot of misaka and not much kuroko, index is looking good as always.
I don't see moe-fication. i see improvement in quality.
& Index looks the same to me
Ya, i don't see it either. With all the recent articles i think someone is a a little paranoid or at the very least wants to get their point across that they don't like a certain word.
generally speaking i would say the earliest designs were the best. less generic moe style.
Accelerator looks like an older version of 'Near'.
Near with a face of Mello, to be exact.
Just as planned
Potato chips are awesome
Just as Keikaku >:D
The original Touma rocks
Kuroko is the real star of the series, so why the hell she isn't there?!
I blame homophobes
Blame Railgun adaptation instead for turning her into fail material.
I blame the director of TOradora for making fail fillers instead adapting the manga, do you believe that the bridge scene was skipped???
How to know if you're not a fan: You don't recognize some of those covers.
Never seen all of the arts before, but it doesn't matter even if it's changed. Before or after, most of it was/is good.
I just don't recognize 3 of them.
Still the art is badass, I mean just look Accelerator.
Accelerator is a pimp.
FAIL article title, unless there's some secret spinoff that nobody knows about which reuses old artwork from To Aru MAJUTSU No Index.
Still, the art is pretty impressive.
How to know if you're not a fan: you know nothing about the light novels as well as the anime.
any clue wheere I can find a translation of said novels?
oh shit double post with differences between the two... did I break sankaku complex?
^
needs more Kuroko
poor accelerator, he went through some fugly phases.
but he got the loli
Isn't it "To aru MAJUTSU no Index"?
Thanks - to think we could have just used the English version if only it were sanctioned...
Poor Himegami
I'm sorry, I don't read the novels, but did Accelerator sought the biggest changes?
They made him the second male protagonist after Touma.
second half of ranobe is in raw(((
Last Order is moe no matter how she gets drawn.
Loli Biribiri ftw.
Images 2 and 4 are the best =D
Isn't it "To Aru Majutsu no Index"? Or am I missing something here? Is it just supposed to be a play on the two separate series names (Railgun and Index)? <_<
