To Aru Majutsu no Index II marks the return of the original series, delighting fans with another chance to become reacquainted with moe staples Index, Mikoto by way of JC Staff’s competent animation skills – a return which is proving well received indeed.
The previous entry in the Index storyline, To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, was essentially a parallel side-story that does not necessarily correlate with much of what happens in the main To Aru Majutsu light novel storyline, but this first episode of Index II did not pick up directly after the first season’s finale, so it might be a bit unclear for those familiar with the books as to when the first major story arc will begin.

If I were a girl, I would want him too.
His l♥♥i waifue.
First episode was excellent. I got chills.
