A Certain Magical Index: Season One, Part One



Totally Cool
Review for part 1

Kamijo lives in Academy City, where people use science to develop supernatural abilities. Kamijo doesn't have any supernatural abilities, other than being able to cancel out supernatural powers. One day he meets a nun called Index. Index holds 103,000 volumes of magic knowledge in her memory. There are a couple of sorcerers form her sect that are after her. Kamijo decides that he's going to protect her. He learns that Index only remembers the past year of her life, and upon fighting the sorcerers, he also learns that her brain can only hold one year of memories. Every year her memories are reset and all that remains is the knowledge of the 103,000 volumes. Kamijo finds a way to save her and prevent her from having to erase her memories. Unfortunately, that's just the beginning of the journey.

science magic, and a who lot of harem
