To aru kagaku no rêrugan

It was an amazing anime, the characters were good, animation and the plot talks about Misaka Mikoto a 14 year old girl in a school of espers and she is ranked third in the strongest esper in town, I was not bored in any part amazing anime recommends watching!

I would really like to give this show a perfect 10. There are a number of elements that make A Certain Scientific Railgun an excellent viewing experience. Everything from all that is Academy City, the characters and supporting cast, (English dub) voice acting, soundtrack/score, character design, animation and the lore are all fantastic. I really love the script & the way it's written, there are just so many lines and moments that stick with you. Similarly, I love the characters and the strong convictions they hold, they have such strong wills, it's impressive.

There *really* aren't a lot of things I can complain about when it comes to this show. With that being said, making your way through the series can get confusing.

First off, being someone that watched the other shows based in Academy City, there are episodic storylines that are revisited and almost copied completely. Second, season two almost takes the way of loosely rebooting. I'm not too sure why the show was written in this way. I understand wanting to explain Mikoto's hardships, because when we met her in A Certain Magical Index, it was almost at the climax of her complication. But with creating the sister series, was it not decided to do backstory initially? It feels a lot like backtracking, or like someone wrote an entire story and got a lot of pages mixed up.

All in all, even with the timeline choppiness, I would still recommend this show to anyone that was looking for a good anime. It checks a lot of boxes in terms of genre in my opinion, and it's a good time, genuinely. I'm looking forward to more Railgun.

Season 1 is a solid, well-made magic academy anime. Fan service right off the bat. Maybe that was a good decision. Skip the modeling episode (E13). Kuroka has other great (fight) scenes early on but underutilized thereafter; Misaka is pretty much center stage. Cheesy ending boss. 7.5/10

Season 2 is that much better. Darker, much darker. Blood and gore too. More intense and drawn-out battles. As Misaka becomes more exposed to Academy City's underworld, the baddies become stronger and she realizes she can't go it alone. 10032 is a scene-stealer every time she's on; was disappointed the Sisters didn't have a bigger role during the revolution. Kamijo fans will be delighted he fulfills his mission. 9.5/10

Everything about it is on point, the creators care so much and that care reflects on both the show and viewers, proud to call it my favorite anime.

Had no idea about the index series so watched the first two seasons of railgun about ten years ago and now that I'm starting to rewatch correctly I can urge everyone with no hesitation to go ahead and give this show a try because it's super entertaining and unique imo

the best watch order the makers would want you to watch it in: a certain scientific railgun (s1)

a certain scientific railgun S (s2)

a certain magical index s1

a certain magical index s2

a certain magical index the movie

a certain scientific accelerator

a certain scientific railgun T (s3).
