A Certain Scientific Railgun

Synopsis

Like in the original manga, the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun anime series serves as a supplement to the Toaru Majutsu no Index anime, focusing more on life in Academy City. Misaka Mikoto is known by many as the ranked-third Level 5, the highest attainable level of an esper, and a role model to many students in Academy City, especially in Tokiwadai Middle School, where she studies. However, a little-known fact is that Mikoto is also like most of the population of students in the city and is far from the role model figure many assume her for. The series documents Mikoto's various exploits within the city together with her devoted roommate Shirai Kuroko and her friends Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari. The first season focuses on a mysterious sound file that is rumored to allow its listeners to gain esper levels, as well as the teacher that develops the file.
