A Certain Scientific Railgun
Oshimeter
Synopsis
The student-filled Academy City is at the forefront of scientific advancement and home to the esper development program. The seven "Level 5" espers are the most powerful in Academy City, and ranked third among them is middle schooler Mikoto Misaka, an electricity manipulator known as "The Railgun." When strange incidents begin occurring throughout the city, she finds each crime to be connected to the elusive "Level Upper," a legendary device that allegedly increases the esper level of its user. As the situation escalates, it becomes apparent that there is more to the Level Upper than meets the eye, and that Academy City may be a far more twisted place than the glamorous utopia it appears to be. Toaru Kagaku no Railgun focuses on Mikoto and her friends—and the dangerous situations they find themselves in—as they get caught up in the matter of the Level Upper. As Mikoto says, "There's never a dull moment in this city."

I LOVE YOU MISAKA MIKOTO
Overall, this anime was quite enjoyable. If it had remained a bit more steady and not hurried an entire arc in those last 3-4 episodes. A satisfying ending compared to the many other horrible endings I have seen. 8/10.
The lyrics of the ED this time perfectly suited the atmosphere of the ending, well executed. Those grim expressions from Telestina were quite something, along with her cackling laugh.
Great episode about more explanations and Kiyama's emotional responses, along with enjoyable fan service. I find it funny when Misaka attempted to use that mask to hide her face LMAO.
Somewhat decent episode with some progress, but not as well directed and animated as the previous episodes. Enjoyed it, this arc isn’t just low-quality anime original content but is highly related to the Level Upper storyline.
At last, they begin to move and stop using the fillers. They went directly to the point in presenting the new character. Quite a decent episode, given the time they needed to introduce a Harue.
More fillers, yet this was attractive with Misaka performing the true force ending. Also Touma, which was a pluss. I want more action, though I'm quite content with this.
A somewhat amusing filler, but the ending wasn't carried out effectively. The first half was very funny. Even though the recent episodes have all been fillers, I genuinely enjoyed this one. Sad panda for dorm mistress.
Meh episode. A bit funny at first, but it mostly bordered on boring for me. Absolutely nothing occurred. The sole somewhat decent was Himegami's appearance.
Painstakingly slow and boring episode in the first half and the second half while the serious discussions came off as awkard, imo. Great episode anyway, I enjoyed the fight scene.
I really liked the new OP and the ED animation is great but the song is nothing mid seems like they managed to catch the series mood. Also, it was really cool because we finnaly see a good non-esper fight. This arc seems interesting.
Although it was a filler episode, this one turned out to be fairly enjoyable. It was soothing and emotional. I truly enjoy that all the members of the group are getting some main screen time in this series rather than focusing everything on Misaka and her railgun.
A funny episode is amusing. I often find these types of episodes boring and useless, but this one was a LOLcoaster ride. It was also hilarious, packed with epic fanservice. The ending with Misaka wearing that swimsuit was so funny and incredibly cuteee!
really good ending to the arc! the fight scene was executed brilliantly with the OP song playing in the background. Misaka was badass this episode. Loved the way she completely annihilated the opponent and destroyed it with her railgun.
They devoted more time to the flashback than I expected, but it wasn't a bad thing, I liked it. Really enjoyed some of the animation in this episode...particularly the fetus thing.
That was an enjoyable plot segment with funny parts as well. Kuroko's incredible action was awesome, and the moment she teleported Uiharu onto Mikoto was so funny, I absolutely laughed out loud at that scene :)).
It felt somewhat hurried rush and poor depiction of an awesome fight other than that Everything else was awesome. I liked watching the fight scene....I look forward to witnessing interesting abilities.
Excellent episode, not only animation-wise. It was a great fight scene, but it ended a bit unresolved. Kuroko truly makes me laugh again with the way she hits her head, and her voice fits her perfectly.
Great episode, this show can never go wrong when have some Biribiri and Touma interaction. this episode had me on the edge of my seat some intense, Touma was awesome with his powers.
