You know, this is my second time seeing this movie. The first time has got to have been over ten years ago since this came out in 2013. Now, before we were to go into the third season of both A Certain Magical Index and A Certain Scientific Railgun, might as well tackle the movie that actually does cross path with both magic and science proper. Okay, that might sound like I am pushing it because it always has been with the series. I'm talking like how it generally crosses paths between magic and science.
The movie starts with the Spaceplane Orion crash landing without any reported casualties among eight-eight passengers who were on board regarding the incident as a miracle, according to the public. We cut to three years later as Academy City is nearing its completion of Endymion, a space e…

Toaru Majutsu no Index Movie: Endymion no Kiseki (2013)
Just give the Misaka sisters their own show, I love the way they speak.
This movie is pretty fun, perhaps not as fun as the main series since they cram maybe too much into this film. You usually get to know characters a bit better but the 3 witches were sort of undeveloped for example which is a shame because they were super cute.
The art is the standard for the show now, it does get a bit more clearer as time goes on but keeps its style which is wonderful to see. Many shows look so different season to season, movie to movie.
The sound was great, the songs were good and the depth of sound followed nicely too. I love the voices of the Misaka sisters.
Characters don't develop particularly and because of how crammed the movie wa…

Quick take: the miracle is that I made it all the way through.
I actually really like the premise and enjoyed watching it. However, the pacing issues that have been present in every other Raildex installation is present here as well. I don't know what it is, but the movie feels about 20 minutes longer than it needs to be. What ends up happening is that my concentration is broken and I'm distracted, meaning I either need to rewind or fill in the missing pieces in my head. Like I said, It's a shame, because I otherwise enjoy the plot.
Art is on par with the rest of the series but sound suffers. "A Miraculous Song" is painful to sit through (English). It is better in Japanese, which begs the question why they bothered to translate it at all.
Characters are good for the most part. There is…

This felt less like watching a movie, and more like watching an eclectic collection of individual character moments and action scenes.
The plot was all over the place and made very little sense. The motivations for the different characters and factions was confusing and paper thin.
It seems to me that they were attempting too hard to give all of the iconic Index/Railgun characters some screen time and a cool action sequence or two, instead of crafting a cohesive story.
There were two redeeming points to this movie. The first would be the likeable and cute heroine, Arisa, who had good chemistry with Index and Touma. The second would be the animation, art, and sound quality which were all really nice. Lots of vibrant colours, smooth and fluid animation in the action scenes so that was nic…

MIRACLE is the main theme of this movie and miracle is the main power of the protagonist (if you think the protagonist that refere is touma, No she wasnt touma). For me, miracle is just 1 or 2 class higher than luck, coz even luckiest person can be defeated with only one miracle, what was it called? Like Daud kill Goliath 1 hit kill with just only simple sling. I cant describe what is miracle by word, so i just make example like that.
Toaru Majutsu no Index Movie : Endymion no Kiseki or i simply call it by 'The miracle of Endymion', this movie is original story based off Toaru Majutsu no Index series by Kazuma Kamachi. Even the story wasnt canon from the original story from index or railgun, the movie timeline take part between after Remnat arc and before daihaisesai arc. Skip the timelin…

A movie so grand that it crumbles under it's own weight.
I think the biggest problem with this movie are the characters. I know, I know, but hear me out. One of the stronger points of Raildex series is a huge cast of great characters, and that's precisely what is wrong with this movie. But not because it doesn't have them. It's the opposite, they just crammed all of them into this movie even if they have no relation to the plot just as a form of fanservice.
This movie wastes so much time trying to weave characters into the plot, that the actual characters that do matter suffer because of that. Also it's pretty much required to watch at least some Index and Railgun series as it is not explained at all who these characters are, what they stand for, and why they even know each other. Even w…

**THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN A FEW SPOILERS**
I came into Toaru Majutsu no Index: Endymion no Kiseki very cautiously because of what I thought about the 2 seasons of Toaru Majutsu no Index. I thought that the first season was mildly entertaining with the ideas it presented but when season 2 came out I felt like it just fell on its face. So, did Toaru Majutsu no Index: Endymion no Kiseki do any justice for the Index anime?........nope.
Story: (3/10)
The story of Toaru Majutsu no Index: Endymion no Kiseki begins with a plane crashing but when the plane crashes all the people that were involved in the crash all miraculously survived. Later, it cuts to Touma and Index walking around Academic City and meet a level 0 girl named Arisa who is able to sing very beautifully but there is actually muc…

One word to describe this movie? "Ouch."
Despite its immense popularity in Japan and abroad, the Index series in general has always been wishy-washy (my honest opinion). Sure, there's a running plot with a somewhat interesting ensemble of main characters, but it has plenty of flaws too - too many convoluted terms that are unexplained or mentioned once and quickly forgotten about, an utter lack of character development, and so on.
This movie - Toaru Majutsu no Index: Endymion no Kiseki - continues to extrapolate these same exact flaws, and in addition to that, adds some serious inconsistent plot elements that are both glaring and ridiculous.
Let's start off with the positives for once. Compared to the original Index series (which, I would recommend watching first before watching the movi…

How did I find out about this movie you ask? Well, I have no idea. Damn, my rotten brain. I wish I have Index's brain so I can remember how I found this movie.
[Story]: (8/10)
The story is set in Academy City. A Space Elevator named Endymion which is under construction is almost complete. One day, Touma and Index meet a Level 0 girl named Meigo Arisa. Index and Arisa have a mysterious connection in their ravenous appetites. While the three are enjoying their time after school, Stiyl along with some magicians suddenly attacks. His target is Arisa.
Why can't the Index series take things slow like this movie did? In the movie, everything was explained so I knew what the hell was going on. In my opinion, the story is great but the ending sucked. I'm not going to spoil you guys the ending. Th…

Toaru Majutsu no Index: Endymion no Kiseki... Uhh... Where should I start? Okay... I'll assume you've watched the two previous seasons.
It's safely to say that Toaru Majutsu no Index: Endymion no Kiseki(ok it's too long, we're sticking with "The Movie") is not part of the main story. What mostly happens to movies(in anime).
Story: 7
Like I've said: "The Movie" isn't connected with previous To aru installments; aside from the characters from it. And of course the somewhat-confusing lore about To Aru installmens. Well, as far as the story goes. I don't want to spoil you, but everyone dies on a plane crash within the first five or six minutes of the movie... NOOOOOOOOOOOT. Just kidding. I'm not kidding about the plane crash though(more like space shuttle crash). The plot about the movie is…

To Aru Majutsu No Index : Endymion no Kiseki
The producers of To Aru Majutsu No Index, what they do in their shows that no other producers do, place songs in the anime that you can listen to and it can change the mood of the whole anime. Now, im not talking about normal OSTs, but they make the song part of the anime, and it just creates a fulfilling feeling that you cant ignore, a happy feeling, beautiful songs that they make. The songs are always good, each will leave you feeling stunned, and with the actual story and plot, It makes the movie feel complete.
A very good movie from the creators of To Aru Majutsu no Index and To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, there's the right amount of suspense build up and they'res never a single second thats plain or boring. Wonderful OSTs here, giving the mov…

"Then, would you accompany me to the depths of hell?"
For those who watched the TV series, this sure rings a bell. It was said by Index to Touma in the very first episode when they met in Touma's apartment.
After this encounter, Kamijou Touma's life would never be the same again. He didn't know back then but he was about to discover a world with dangers beyond his imagination and had yet to realize how important he would become.
The Toaru Index/Railgun franchise stands out due to its great character design and art, exciting battle scenes and an interesting story about the fight between the scientific and the religious factions. It is fast paced and finish with deconstructive villain vs. hero action.
This kind of plot is based in the well-used formula of action anime that always happen to…

"Do you believe in miracles?"
A somewhat cheesy start to the review perhaps, but appropriate to the theme of the movie nonetheless.
Recently, I've noticed that I seem to have developed a knack for somehow always being able to review a show by J.C Staff, despite me saying that I'm not too fond of them. Now, honestly, I've had to re-evaluate that assessment, seeing as I've been somewhat unfair on them in the past - they've got their fair share of fantastic shows under their belt (Honey and Clover and To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S), as well as some that are bad or lame representations of their source material (Little Busters! and Spiral, respectively).
To Aru Majutsu no Index: EnK finds itself somewhere in the middle of that spectrum, not really ending up on either good or bad. I got exactly…

Fukou da! Here it comes my review!
I had great expections knowing that Kamachi Kazuma wrote the script for this and as a great fan of the Index series (I mean, the Light Novels) I was really really looking forward for this.
Did it met my expectations? Yes, It was amazing all the time. I really really enjoyed it.
Why? Because this is a movie made for fans. Yes, it's canon but I doubt that Kamachi Kazuma will mention Meigo Arisa in NT 8 or the events of this movie, right? This was a movie made just by the enjoyment of fans, J.C Staff did his job right this time? Yup, strangely, this time J.C Staff brings to us a really good movie.
Story - 9
The Story is written by Kamachi Kazuma, it has all that we can expect. Mindfucks, Touma being a TouMAN and all this, nothing new particullary in t…

I apologize in advance if i spoiled anything. I tried very hard not to. Or for getting your hopes up and then crushing them because it does not live up to my description.
Miracles? This movie certainly is one. Think of every single anime movie you've seen. Majority of them all have common cliches. Three bad guys, who are impossible to beat but some how are killed in the end, and one leader who is either overpowered, or just a coward. And of course, the main characters all struggling for what is obviously good.
This movie has none of that.
3 years ago, a space plane called Orion by a company called Orbital while re-entering the earth's atmosphere, miraculously all 88 passengers survived. Meet Arisa, a street performer and upcoming idol. She meets Touma and Index while performing on a…

Such misfortune! Here comes another review!
One thing I always find great about movies based off of series isn't just more of what I like, but to see how the company handles it, so with J.C. Staff holding the reigns I had expectations and those expectations were surprisingly met. The production value truly shows with Toaru Majutsu no Index: Endymion no Kiseki when it came to top-notch visuals, soundtrack and even though it wasn't as good as it could be, the plot wasn't too bad itself. It seems this movie has had a better share of miracles instead of misfortune.
Story:
The plot is something I've always been skeptical on when it comes to movies from more popular series like Index, Bleach, FMA, etc. I always feels it's more like a way to show off some snazy visuals with a mediocre story(N…

Toaru Majutsu no Index: Endymion no Kiseki Review
Before I start this review, let me just say that I’m a huge fan of the Toaru series, I absolutely love the characters, all of them being extremely interesting and not typical stereotypes. The story is interesting and the universe is so huge that I just want to read up everything about it. Although that being said, I felt that Toaru Majutsu no Index: Endymion no Kiseki was a pretty huge disappointment for me, and it pains me to give it only a 7/10. It lacked the charm of both the Railgun and Index series. Why? Just read on to find out.
Story (7/10):
The story for the movie is pretty weak. That is because the pacing of the movie was horrendous, emphasizing too much on the non-important parts (introduction) and rushed through the important…

As a fan of the To Aru series (given I haven't seen any Railgun yet). I had a decent level of expectations for this movie. Toaru Majutsu no Index itself was a series I enjoyed greatly. I watched it a while back and ever since the "break" to go forward on the Railgun side story I haven't seen the series since. Since no anime is perfect I could blatantly point out most flaws I found in the show and look past them but as I grew as an anime viewer these flaw became more and more of a cripple to the series. Again since I haven't seen the series again ever since I finished Index II I haven't really had time to go back and re-watch with this new mind set even though I remember the flaws. Then this movie came a fresh start to get a little summary of what index was again and oh did I remember what…

So, do you believe in miracles? By miracle, I mean something that happens out of the extraordinary and takes you by complete yet pleasant surprise. This could be as simple as finding a one dollar bill on the ground when you need it the most or saving someone's life when they are just inches from death. Well, if miracles exist, then so should be hope right? Well, perhaps what fans could hope for is someday, that the Index or Railgun franchise would get a movie adaptation. Now, the time has come and it's here. From an action packed series of science and magic brings forth a new experience in the form of film adaptation for the first time ever.
