A Certain Magical Index is an anime series adapted from the light novel series of the same title written by Kazuma Kamachi and illustrated by Kiyotaka Haimura. The story adventures of Tōma Kamijō, a high school student with a unique power in his right hand, who resides in a scientifically advanced city, and his interactions with other psychic and magic users after he meets Index, a young nun whose mind has been implanted with the 103,000 magical texts of the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. It was produced by J.C.Staff and directed by Hiroshi Nishikiori. The series was broadcast on the Mainichi Broadcasting System from October 4, 2008 to March 19, 2009.
