PREMISE

In the hyper-scientific Academy City, govermnet factions discourage and control all notions of religious or magical powers that threaten their scientific society. The scientists are days from completing Edymion, a giant space elevator which doubles as a weapon of mass destruction against rival magical countries. Touma and Index get caught up in a manhunt for the singer Arisa, whose voice is somehow linked to Endymion—and must protect Arisa while uncovering the mystery of her powers.

LIKED!

+
pretty animation

DISLIKED...

melodramatic monologues & flip-flopping character allegiances
standalone movie plot didn’t develop the main story or characters in any way, so didn’t really matter

OTHER THOUGHTS

*crickets*

CLOSING REMARKS

It has gorgeous animation and familiar characters, but no real new lore, story, or character development. A pleasant but skippable entry to the series.

A Certain Magical Index: The Movie – The Miracle of Endymion – 4/10
