The science side on the other hand, is a heck lot more interesting in terms of plot than the magic side. The plot from one arc to another just doesn’t add up and that makes it quite terrible: the fact that it has no continuality. Though that way of solving things isn’t really all that bad, what really makes the magic side so terrible is that it’s quite episodic when it comes to plot. And obviously, it’s Touma’s job to protect Index which he usually does by talking and punching the said magicians into submission. The plots concerning this side usually just revolves around people who are relentlessly trying to kidnap Index to learn the secrets in her head and wreak havoc upon the earth, those who want to save Index from her perfect memory, which they claim would kill her if they don’t brainwash her every year since she would remember every detail she sees and ultimately overload her brain, and the church which is responsible for pretty much all of Index’s problems. The magic side is the side concerned with magic aspect of the anime. You see, one of the biggest problems here is, or the lack thereof, of a main antagonist because what happened is that the anime was split into two sides : the magic side and the science side. As I’ve said, Majutsu no index is set on interesting premises yet it failed to fully utilize all of its hidden potential.

This is where the story starts as Touma finds himself in the middle of all the problems concerned with letting a walking manual for destruction live in his house. One day, Touma found a starving Index hanging in his balcony after being chased by mysterious men, begging him for food. On the other hand, there is Index Prohibitorum Librorum (or Index for short), a nun who has the superhuman ability to remember virtually anything and has memorized in her mind 103,000 grimoires concerning magic that is prohibited by the church or is otherwise just far too dangerous to be used. Kamijou Touma, being a student in the Academy City, has a strange power called “Imagine Breaker”, a skill which allows him to dispel anything magical or is a product of ESPer powers. Kamijou Touma, you regular high school kid lives within a place called Academy City, the so called “utopia of science” as well as an utopia for a new type of people known as ESPers, people who can have supernatural abilities by controlling the laws of science. refer to now as Majutsu no Index) is set in a world where both science and magic coexist. Now To Aru Majutsu no Index (which I would just So just imagine, what will happen if people with supernatural abilities existed and both these sides got hold of people whose special abilities that are nothing short of miraculous? So how exactly does this relate to To Aru Majutsu no Index? Well I suppose a short summary of the story is in order. One of the greatest battles that mankind has ever witnessed is the battle between science and religion, a battle that is still being fought today. *to those who are too lazy to read and just want a quick summary, skip to the final paragraph*
