To Aru Majutsu no Index the second season will be airing in October. Dengeki sits down with Satou and Iguchi for a discussion on their thoughts of To Aru Majutsu no Index II. They are the wonderful voice actresses who voice Misaka Mikoto and Index. Based on a Japanese light novel series written by Kazuma Kamachi and illustrated by Kiyotaka Haimura; the series is published by ASCII Media Works under their Dengeki Bunko imprint. Touma Kamijo whose right hand, the Imagine Breaker, has the ability to negate all magic and psychic powers, but also brings him misfortune. Touma upon meeting a hungry nun, Index, who’s mind has been implanted with Index Librorum Prohibitorum—103,000 forbidden magical books. His encounter with her leads him to meet others from the secret world of science and magic and an adventure.
This time Iguchi is the main heroine in the story, who plays Index. Before Satou was the main lead in the spin-off series; To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, playing Misaka Mikoto. Now two people present their thoughts and mind about the characters, to listen and discuss. In addition, the two of them autograph a book.
In the recording of the second season, please tell what is your thoughts.
Iguchi says: Counting from the audition, it has already been 3 years now. Standing in front of the microphone for a long time, giving the voice of Index, hearing the other cast is strange. I deliver the voice of Index without too much thought.
Satou says: I’m “Railgun” in Index, so the feeling of show is different. Mikoto of (Railgun) and (Index) slightly differ, the 2nd season of Index feels different. I also have “My younger sisters (Sisters)” . They cause her anxiety, and whether she can use her “Railgun” as efficient as the ones built in the Laboratory. I think it’ll be such a great atmosphere at a record site, so it’s a pleasure to record.
Question for Satou-san: What do you think of “DERE, Misaka” in the 2nd season? How is it performed, is there a plan?
Satou says: Well…… It is leaving to a matter of chance! When words are not being said, and you don’t see the actual picture, it seems unstable on how to perform. Personally, I don’t want an advancement in Touma’s and Misaka’s relationship so much. That remains a frustrating relationship like that, right? But I think it’s good when Misaka’s infinite power can be taken out.
Satou-san is saying that it’s without preplanning. But how do you think Iguchi-san will perform Index, who yearns for Touma?
Iguchi says: Comparing them may be slightly different, but Touma and Index seem to see eachother as my master and pet. However a very important person, who’s gentle towards other people. The former Index seemed to say touched by Touma “That person who is that person? Who is that person?”. In the second season many other girls who meet Touma might say “love…?”. How you say Index is performed, well it is without preplanning and by chance! (smile) But Touma is very popular!
What do you think of Touma?
Iguchi says: “He’s kind, too kind! If I’m near… is… troublesome?” (everyone laughs). “What, this man?!” “I might think and possibly come to love”. She turns around to laugh.
And how about you Satou-san?
Satou says: Difficult (everyone laughs). Reading the original work he thinks too of Mikoto’s feelings; “Why such a thing has happened here?”. And to think, “If I grow up, what will become?”. He is a very worrisome person.
Iguchi says: It is a crime to be too kind!
Satou says: A crime!
Is it a crime? By the way, are there any other characters who are worrisome like Touma?
Iguchi says: I guess it’s Stiyl. Although something is held wholly, respectively. He doesn’t mind sacrificing something in order to protect under such circumstances.
Satou says: I say Accelerator. You like him when the little human feeling comes out as the “proud isolated level 5″ which appears first, right? It is cute…. However Misaka nearly got killed (laughs).
Any message to a fan waiting for the second season to broadcast?
Iguchi says: Railgun was made, and with the support from everyone it has been 2 years, now I deliver the second season. I have that and thinking, I really thank you very much. It’s pleasant that I myself can meet Touma, Misaka and Index again. I’ll work hard during post recordings, in order to keep up with everyone’s expectations. Please look forward to it! Thank you!
Satou says: I think what is obtained from ‘Railgun’ compared to putting out the second season of ‘Index’. Such collaboration (smiles) Since it is a series with very many characters, I’m very excited to record with the new characters. Not reading the original novel already brings about preparation upon anazlying. Also, the OVA of Railgun comes out. I’d be glad if you see it too. Please it would make me happy, thank you.
