Hey guys! Another first impression anime review here! Just wanted to let you all know that I will be starting to review the new fall series that are coming out, so stay tuned for those! Fall is bringing great new series for animes, and I want to keep you all up-to-date on these new releases! On to the review!

Plot Summary - Kamijou Touma 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. Blessed with the skill of memorizing any sort of information, she holds 103,000 forbidden magical books within her head. As science and magic cross paths, Touma must face several dangers amid espers and magicians who appear at the exciting scientific town.
My First Impression - At first, I was really confused about this series. What its about isn't really clear in the beginning, but I liked how straight to the point it was. While most animes introduce the plot of their anime towards the end, this one came right out with it. The creators of this series really let you infer what the entire anime will be about. The quality drawings are amazing, and the opening theme song was really nice. I'd definitely like to see what the rest of this anime leads to, and there is a second season so I'm looking forward to that as well! I recommend it to all you fantasy anime lovers!
