Academy City is a highly developed place in terms of technology. It is said to be 20 to 30 years ahead of the rest of the world, and 80% of its 2.3 million residents are students. The focus of studies here is directed towards esper powers. Misaka Mikoto, one of the top level espers in town, shares a room with Kuroko Shirai, another high level esper who is a member of Judgement, a law enforcing agency composed of students. Both attend Tokiwadai, a private school reserved for the high-leveled and the rich. Kuroko's partner at Judgement, Kazari Uiharu, is a low level esper who studies at Sakugawa middle school. Her best friend and classmate there is Ruiko Saten, a level zero, one who has no esper powers. Together, the four encounter several adventures in the exciting scientific town.

Electrifyingly charged with conceptual science, this is the improved addition needed for the Toaru series.

Railgun took what the Index anime did and made it way better

Supported by rock-solid fundamentals, this series is often campy but hard not to love.

The Toaru series has quickly become one of my favorite long-running/multi-series anime, and Railgun stands at the top.
