Welcome to Academy City, a futuristic metropolis populated with super-powered students. As the brightest intellectual minds in the city work to complete the world’s first space elevator—a towering spire capable of taking citizens into the heavens—perpetually unlucky Kamijo and nun-in-training Index befriend a talented street musician named Arisa. When the beautiful singer lands a big break, her miraculous voice attracts unwanted attention, making the songstress a target for magicians and scholars alike. As the battle between sorcery and science blasts into space, Kamijo, Index, and their allies in Academy City are rocketed to a psychedelic stadium thousands of feet above Japan in a desperate attempt to keep Arisa—and the rest of the world—safe. Science fiction and fantasy collide in this action-packed feature film set in the shared universe of A Certain Magical Index and A Certain Scientific Railgun!
A Certain Magical Index: The Miracle of Endymion will be available in winter 2015.

I hope for new announcements!
Good afternoon Michelle I’m hoping that by the Funimation industry panel you’ll at least be able to announce returning for the Fall 2014 anime season:
Psycho Pass 2,
Selector Spread Wixoss,
Buddy Complex TV Specials 1 & 2,
and if you’ll be picking up the new 50 episode 5 minutes in length Ai Tenchi Muyo! series as you have most of the Tenchi Muyo! series & movies licenses.
The rest of my personal Fall 2014 wish list I already put in its proper place in the Anime section of the forums earlier this month.
Just hoping to get early conformation on the first 3 by this weekend.
They’ve already announced rights for Psycho-Pass 2, as well as the movie and the re-edit of season 1.
So yeah. They’ve pretty much got everything Psycho-Pass related covered.
I know that they made announcements for Psycho-Pass 2 a few times since June but I was looking for conformation on the Budd Complex Specials and to get them to start announcing the their Fall 2014 simulcast plans. to-witch they began this weekend.
Index Movie is available Winter 2015. MY GOD thats more than a YEAR!!!
Winter 2015 refers to the months of December – February. So more than likely it’ll be released near the beginning of the year.
Can’t wait for the Index movie.
Waiting a whole year for the Index movie??? My rotten luck!
