Plot edit
The Spaceplane Orion crash lands without any reported casualties among its 88 passengers, regarding the incident as a miracle. Three years later,[a] Academy City nears completion of the space elevator capable of bringing people into space without the need for spacecraft called "Endymion". Toma Kamijo and Index meet a singer and Level 0 esper named Arisa Meigo. While hanging out with them, Arisa learns that she passed an audition to be the campaign girl for Endymion. Later night, they are suddenly attacked by Stiyl Magnus and the witches from the Church of England named Marie Spearhead, Mallybath Blackball, and Jane Elves. The magicians encounter the Black Crow Unit, a private security organization led by Shutaura Sequenzia, and forces to retreat with assistance from Kaori Kanzaki. They leave Toma a cryptic message indicating that Arisa could bring a war between the magic and science sides.
Shutaura warns Toma to not get involved with Arisa. He offers Arisa to stay with him and Index to his dorm until her performance. Because Toma needs to take supplementary lessons, Mikoto Misaka and her friends accompany Arisa to a promotional performance held at a mall, where they also performed as backup dancers. During the event, Toma witnesses a battle between Shutaura and a mysterious male automaton who destroyed the stage. He then learns from her about her inability to process music and disbelief in miracles. Later night, Arisa explains to Toma her memory loss of before the past three years. As Toma meets up with Motoharu Tsuchimikado and Kaori, who believed in the possibility of Arisa being a Saint, Stiyl and his group kidnap Arisa and fight Shutaura and the Black Crow Unit while they try to escape. Stiyl explains to Toma about the Endymion being a makeshift Tower of Babel, which could be turned into a magical device with the combination of a Saint's power. Shutaura captures Arisa and brings her to the CEO of Orbit Portal Company named Ladylee Tangleroad.
Shutaura learns that Ladylee killed her father named Daedalus Sequenzia, who revealed to be the only casualty of the Orion incident without public knowledge, and stabs her but Ladylee remains alive and orders her two automatons to capture Shutaura. As Arisa is forced to sing in Endymion to activate a large magic circle above Earth, Toma and Index travel to space with Kaori's help. Shutaura also makes her way up after being rescued by her comrades. She confronts Ladylee, who sought Arisa's power to break her curse of immortality, but the ensuing battle with her automatons causes a crack in the space station, which would inevitably collapse and fall towards Earth. Arisa sings to protect the visitors present while Shutaura attempts to stop her but she is confronted by Toma. Index confronts Ladylee while Mikoto, Accelerator, and Stiyl destroy some explosive bolts to purge Endymion from the ground. Toma uses his Imagine Breaker on Shutaura, causing her to remember how Arisa was born out of her wish to save everyone on the plane even at the cost of those important to her. Arisa and Shutaura then sing together, which combined with Index's work, to break Ladylee's spell, stopping Endymion from falling onto Earth and resulting in the merging of the two as one. In the aftermath, Toma and Index can hear Arisa's song off in the distance.
Voice cast edit
Production edit
Development edit
As exemplified by the catchphrase "When science and magic intersect, the story begins," the Toaru series is rooted in the existence of supernatural, invisible forces such as magic and psychic powers. This time, however, I wanted to depict the idea of making miracles happen by reaching out for them, rather than just waiting for some mysterious power - such as fate. I depicted "miracles" as the third power along with science and magic.
—Director Hiroshi Nishikiori on the film's title[3]
Initial talks for an anime film based on A Certain Magical Index light novel series by Kazuma Kamachi began around the end of A Certain Magical Index II (2010).[8] In October, the start of the film's production was announced at the Dengeki Bunko Autumn Festival 2011.[9] The content of the film began to develop by the end of 2011, with the producers requesting a "song foil festival atmosphere" theme.[8]
In March 2012, Index light novel editor Kazuma Miki announced that Kamachi would be writing an original story for the film instead of adapting the light novel's fifteenth volume.[10] The film's setting was confirmed to be taking place between the seventh and eighth episodes of Index II.[3] The film took inspiration from the Greek mythology for the title "Endymion", the name of the space elevator in the film,[11] and the origin of Ladylee Tangleroad, one of the new characters designed by Haimura Kiyotaka.[12][8] In June 2012, the film's premiere was announced to be in February 2013.[13] By the following month, J.C.Staff was announced to be animating the film.[14]
Pre-production edit
In July 2012, Hiroshi Nishikiori and Hiroyuki Yoshino were announced as the film's director and scriptwriter, respectively, along with other staff, including character designer Yuichi Tanaka and cinematographer Shingo Fukuyo. In the same month, cast of the Index franchise were confirmed to be reprising their roles in the film, including Atsushi Abe as Toma Kamijo, Yuka Iguchi as Index, Rina Satō as Mikoto Misaka, Shizuka Itō as Kaori Kanzaki, Kishō Taniyama as Stiyl Magnus, Mamiko Noto as Aisa Himegami, Anri Katsu as Motoharu Tsuchimikado, Nobuhiko Okamoto as Accelerator, Nozomi Sasaki as the Sisters, Yoshihisa Kawahara as Pierce Aogami, Kimiko Koyama as Komoe Tsukuyomi, Satomi Arai as Kuroko Shirai, and Aki Toyosaki as Kazari Uiharu.[14]
In October 2012, Yōko Hikasa, Ayane Sakura, and Sachika Misawa were announced to be respectively voicing the new characters Shutaura Sequenzia, Tangleroad, and Arisa Meigo.[15] Nishikiori revealed that Misawa was chosen to voice Meigo because they needed "someone who could act and sing at the same time".[16]
Animation edit
3D computer graphics were used for the film's mecha battles, live scenes, and background art, such as Kamijo's apartment, that was previously drawn by hand. Nishikiori revealed their decision to use 3DCG instead of the traditional method of "creating CG and art after storyboarding" was to "create a sense of scale and theatricality with limited resources". Sanzigen's CG modelers and animators and the CG department of J.C.Staff managed to handle one of the issues in animating the film such as expressing the lighting.[17]
Post-production edit
Shigeru Nishiyama served as the film's editor.[14] The cast took fifteen hours in one day to complete their voice work.[18] In February 2013, producer Nobuhiro Nakayama revealed that the film was completed in a week before its theatrical release.[19]
Music edit
Maiko Iuchi of I've Sound was revealed to be composing A Certain Magical Index: The Movie – The Miracle of Endymion along with the Japanese music production company Imagine in July 2012, after previously doing so for A Certain Magical Index (2008), A Certain Scientific Railgun (2009), and Index II.[14] The film's ending theme music, titled "Fixed Star", was composed by Tomoyuki Nakazawa and performed by Mami Kawada.[20] Misawa performed the insert songs in the film: "Gloria" (グローリア), "Reasonable Distance" (アタリマエの距離, Atarimae no Kyori), "Brand New Bright Step", "Telepath ~Tower of Light~" (telepath ～光の塔～, telepath ~Hikari no Tou~), "I Hope It'll Be Sunny Tomorrow" (明日、晴れるかな, Ashita, Hareru Kana), and "Over".[21] The original soundtrack is included in the film's Blu-ray and DVD that were released in Japan on August 28, 2013.[22]

Reception edit

A Certain Magical Index: The Movie – The Miracle of Endymion grossed $4.7 million at the Japanese box office.[2]
The film opened in 30 theaters in Japan and earned $1.1 million in its opening weekend,[42] ranking third behind Ted (2012).[43] It earned $548,663 in its second weekend, coming in seventh;[44] $477,674 in its third weekend, coming in eighth;[45] and $253,314 in its fourth weekend, coming in twelfth.[46]
Critical response edit
Gareth Evans of Starburst lauded A Certain Magical Index: The Movie – The Miracle of Endymion for its pacing and action scenes that "come at the right time to punctuate the plot".[47] Theron Martin of Anime News Network graded the film "C+", stating that it was a "hodgepodge of insufficiently developed and explored story elements padded out with a ton of cameos and plenty of action".[48]
Scientific accuracy edit
Suichi Ohno, chairman of the Japan Space Elevator Association, discussed the science behind Endymion in the film. According to Ohno, tethers of Endymion would not stand upright in the Tokyo area because its shape will extend instead toward the equator, the suitable site for building a space elevator, and climb as it approaches the imaginary line. The film indicated that Endymion was completed in three years, but the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's 2003 report stated that building a space elevator takes several years to complete, while Obayashi Corporation's plan will take 18 years to build the structure.[49]
Manga adaptation edit
A manga adaptation of A Certain Magical Index: The Movie – The Miracle of Endymion illustrated by Ryōsuke Asakura, titled A Certain Magical Index: The Miracle of Endymion (とある魔術の禁書目録 エンデュミオンの奇蹟, Toaru Majutsu no Indekkusu: Endyumion no Kiseki), was serialized in Square Enix's Monthly Shōnen Gangan magazine from February 12[50] to October 12, 2013.[51] A total of two tankōbon volumes had been published in Japan by Square Enix from August 27[52] to October 22, 2013.[53]
