A Certain Magical Index Light Novel Audiobooks

Project Overview

Hello You!


So what’s this project about?


In short, one of the things we see fans longing for on the internet the most is for JC Staff to finally announce a third season for A Certain Magical Index and A Certain Scientific Railgun. Hell, while you're at it, we wouldn't mind a first season of A Certain Scientific Accelerator either.


But as time marches on, the hope for another season grows fainter. So a couple of us had a thought: Why not just do the remainder of the series ourselves? Naturally we can't produce several 24-episode anime series or replicate the awesome voice talent for these characters, but what we can do is provide a way for fans of the series who want to see what happens next to experience it in some way. Mostly for those who are too lazy to read.


This project is about doing audiobooks based on the Light Novel series for A Certain Magical Index. I’m looking for a couple of narrators who can rotate (so as not to take up all of their time) and narrate the series. We’ll be releasing them in parts periodically so people can listen to them on the train or a plane or even whilst doing homework.


This project will also be adapting the Light Novels to fit with the dubbed series. For instance, Last Order in the Light Novels speaks differently than she does in the dubbed series. In the Light Novels, she would finish her sentence with "Says Misaka as Misaka" insert whatever it is she is doing while in the anime she says her name twice before describing what she is doing. We will stick to what FUNimation changed in the dubbed series.


We will be starting with Volume 14, The Document of Constantine, because...well because everybody already knows what happened up until that point. So we will be starting with volume 14 and working our way through the series. This is a difficult project to undertake and it is a lot of work for all parties involved. We want to take Touma Kamijou, Mikoto Misaka and Accelerator as far as we can.


To this end, I believe a roster of 4-5 narrators will suffice as a good starting point, though I hope to add more on later. Be reminded that if you want to audition, be sure you have a wide range. I don’t expect anybody to sound like the English cast does, but I do expect people to be able to copy their personalities which is something all voice actors should be good at.  A good vocal range is key!


We’ll be doing the first novel as a test and see what the response is to that, though I hope this will become a long term project, though since the narrators rotate parts and volumes, you aren’t obliged to stay with this project until it’s finished (which will hopefully be a long time given how much material there is to get through. This is foremost an experiment and the format may change in future, but for now, it is what it is.


But who am I and why should you trust that I’ll stick by this project? Well I am currently producing two FULL fandubs, the first of which is up to EP4 and has garnered over 600000 views in total just this year. I am professional and determined. Need more convincing, then just out some of my past work:

  • “Can you explain to me why you did what you did?”  


    Touma Kamijou was being scolded by a tall female teacher in the staff room. Actually, he wasn’t the only person being scolded. Pierce Aogami and Motoharu Tsuchimikado were lined up next to him.   And behind those three stood Seiri Fukiyose whose angry face seemed to be asking why she was there also. The staff room was full of steel office desks cluttered with various objects. It was the lunch break, so there were plenty of teachers. Some were eating their bentos, some were grading tests, and some were sitting on electronic moving rocking horses that were supposed to help lower ones weight. 


    Among them, one teacher was doing none of these things. Suama Oyafune was instead sitting on a cheap swivel chair crossing her legs covered in beige stockings, combing her black hair that looked as hard as metal, and glared at Kamijou and the others with sharp eyes through her inverted triangle glasses that were probably some expensive brand. 


    “I’ll ask you again to explain to me why you were having a fight full of fists and burning souls in this place of learning.”  


    She was met with silence. 


    The news announcer could be heard from the TV on the wall. “As a result of the repeated demonstrations and protests, the Italian soccer league has announced that this morning’s game has been cancelled.”  


    “You can’t explain it?” That upset math teacher who was wearing nothing but brand-name clothing was well-known in the school for being strict when it came to discipline. Kamijou’s class didn’t take any classes from her, so they hadn’t really crossed paths before, but she had caught them today. 


    The head teacher of Kamijou’s class was Komoe Tsukuyomi, but not even she could keep track of what was going on in the classroom during the lunch break. Suama Oyafune had been walking by when they were in the middle of a fight and dragged them to the staff room. After a bit, Kamijou, one of the three idiots, started speaking. 


    “But…” His gaze was set with resolve. “Pierce and I were arguing over whether red bunny girls or black bunny girls were better. And then Tsuchimikado comes in and starts spewing some ridiculous crap about white bunnies being the best ones!!”  


    Suama fell right out of her chair with a loud crash. The loud noise shocked Kamijou, but it seemed his comment had shocked the teacher with the educator’s glasses even more. The math teacher moved her gaze from the three idiots to Seiri Fukiyose standing behind them. 


    “D-don’t tell me you were taking part in this silly argument as well.”  


    “I was just trying to get these idiots to shut up!! Why do I have to be dragged down here along with them!?” The blood vessels on Fukiyose’s temple bulged out as she yelled. 


    When Oyafune had stepped into Kamijou’s class, Fukiyose had been holding Tsuchimikado in a headlock, kicking Pierce Aogami  to the ground, and hitting Touma Kamijou with her hard forehead all at the same time. She had clearly been the biggest bully at the scene. Meanwhile, Tsuchimikado who was wearing blue sunglasses turned to both sides and cried out. 


    “Nyah! Hooray for DFC white bunnies!”  


    Pierce Aogami couldn’t keep silent after hearing this. “Why is it always flat chests with you!? And you don’t really like bunnies at all! You’re just fine with anything loli!!” 


    “That’s true. Be it a bunny girl outfit, a gymnastics leotard, or a school swimsuit, when put on the wonder that is a loli, the small distinctions between outfits are moot. So my argument is that lolis look good in whatever they wear, so a loli bunny girl is the best bunny girl!!”
