Where to Watch A Certain Magical Index in the UK

Japanese television has a knack for doing more with less, and A Certain Magical Index is a prime example. It's currently available in Australia on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, and in the US on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. An 8/10 rating means the audience agrees.

From the era when television started taking itself seriously as an art form, A Certain Magical Index follows a path that stands out in a crowded field. Touma Kamijou is a student living in Academy City, a highly advanced place in terms of technology. Despite being gauged as a level zero esper (no powers), he possesses on his right hand the Imagine Breaker, an ability that negates any power whatsoever. Touma finds a young girl named Index who is trying to run away from Necessarius, a powerful magic organization that she is member of. Atsushi Abe and Yuka Iguchi lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 3 seasons (2008–2019), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

Perfect for viewers who think they've already seen all the great crime dramas. A Certain Magical Index is the one that tends to prove them wrong.
