Ahead of the September 14th, 2015 release of the complete collection for the first season of A Certain Magical Index, Manga Entertainment UK has now put together a release trailer for it. This shows off the series itself in a fun way, the packaging for it and the English language adaptation. The release is coming across three discs for the twenty-four episodes it contains and is priced at £36.00. It’s a Blu-ray only release and not a combo release. Animatsu picked up the rights to release this back in May.
The on-disc extras include Episode Commentaries (Episodes 3, 6, 14 & 23), Textless Songs, and Trailers.
Check out our review of the season from the North American release by FUNimation that came out in November 2014.
Plot concept: Kamijo is a student in Academy City, where people use science to develop supernatural abilities. The guy’s got a lot of heart – luckily for a young nun named Index. She’s on the run from a sorcery society that covets the astonishing 103,000 volumes of magical knowledge stored in her memory. When Index stumbles into Kamijo’s life, she find a faithful friend and protector, and while Kamijo’s easily the weakest kid in Academy City, he’s got something else going for him: the Imagine Breaker, an unexplainable power stored in his right hand that negates the powers of others. With scientists and sorcerers attacking from all sides, the Imagine Breaker will definitely come in handy – but it’s Kamijo’s loyalty to Index that will be his greatest weapon in the fight to keep her safe.
This is a really good series, both it and Railgun, yet it is so much more than the trailer shows.
