 | A Certain Magical Index (2008) Genres: Action, Comedy, Drama, Magic, Sci-Fi Episodes: 24 Description: Kamijou Touma is a student living in Academy City, a highly advanced place in terms of technology. Despite being gauged as a level zero esper (no powers), he possesses on his right hand the Imagine Breaker, an ability that negates any power whatsoever. Touma finds a young girl named Index who is trying to run away from Necessarius, a powerful magic organization that she is member of. Blessed with the skill of memorizing any sort of information, she holds 103,000 forbidden magical books within her head. As science and magic cross paths, Touma must face several dangers amid espers and magicians who appear at the exciting scientific town. Thoughts: Really interesting show, which has some good characters and a great world design. The magical side of it was alright, but I was more impressed by the scientific side. The espers and their various powers are well done and great to watch. Rating: Story: 4/5 Basically a series of smaller story arcs, most of which were quite good. Animation: 5/5 The animation is well done and fits the show well, particularly the magical and esper powers. Action: 3/5 Pretty decent amount of action, mainly in the form of fights. Comedy: 4/5 Mainly a comedic show, but it has times that are more serious. Links: http://www.justanimedubbed.tv/watch/a-certain-magical-index/ |
