# A Certain Magical Index – Parent Guide This TV-14 animated series features frequent action violence including fights and explosions, making it best suited for older teens rather than younger children. While language and sexual content remain mild, the strong violence and complex sci-fi plot involving supernatural powers may be intense for children under 13.

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. 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 in the exciting scientific town.
