Originally airing in 2008, the series was directed by Hiroshi Nishikori based on the series composition by Masanao Akahoshi.
NBC Universal Japan is looking to get the franchise for A Certain Magical Index out there again as the show is getting a pair of priced down Japanese Blu-ray releases.
This does look like just a re-release as both sets are mirroring the 2013 set but without the soundtrack.
