FUNimation had previous scheduled the first part of A Certain Magical Index II on October 14th, 2014 but it looks like a fly is in the ointment for that. The company has announced that the series is being delayed by two weeks to a new October 28th, 2014 release date due to technical issues with the replicator. The DVD/BD combo set is priced at $64.98 and is set to have the first twelve episodes of the season in HD with actor commentaries and the clean versions of the opening and closing sequences included as extras.
Plot concept: The Book of the Law—an encoded grimoire containing catastrophic magic—has been stolen, so naturally Kamijo, Index, and a few familiar faces join in the crusade to protect the one nun who can decipher the powerful text. But as the group battles church sects and holy assassins, they realize that discovering who their true enemy is may be more difficult than saving the sister. Meanwhile, an organization known as the Science Society resurrects an esper-producing program, a school festival brings out the competition—and drama—in the student population, and a mysterious figure negotiates the purchase of a sacred relic that could threaten the future of Academy City.
