Super Serial: A Certain Magical Index episode 2

This episode dishes out more exposition, telling you Index’s talent for memory and a little more about Necessarius. It also tells you a little more about the nature of magic, and how it was created by those who couldn’t use esper powers. And it really is a case of telling and not showing, which is disappointing.

My anime starship crew.

The situation is tense. Bleak. Desperate, even. You’re surrounded by enemy contacts all over the freaking place. Half your systems are down. Thrusters are barely responding. In this situation, who would you want on your crew? Who could you rely on to get the job done? Who can you trust to pull that miracle out of his ass, to turn death into a fighting chance to live? ...
