The "Railgun" is a spin-off of "Toaru Majutsu no Index". It's a work whose protagonist is Mikoto Misaka, and that is centered on Scientific side. So, there won't be Touma Kamijo or INDEX much, who play central role in "index". I'm bit sad, because I love INDEX...
In 2013, the 2nd series of anime will be broadcast, it's so hot. Its stage is an academy city that has 2.3 millions of population and 80% of them are students.
In there, students are subjects for ESP development experiments, and they are ranked level 0 to 5 by their ESP. Level 5 is the highest, and only 7 students are ranked here. Mikoto, the protagonist, is 3rd among them. Don't miss how she and Kuroko Shirai, the girl loves her, act! They do this and that.
One more thing I recommend you to watch is how tsundere MIkoto is! This is how tsundere shuold be, her tsundere is one of best example of it. Please enjoy it as you please!
Personally, I love Last Order best. Besides, there are wonderful characters. Kazari Uiharu is very cute, and Ruiko Saten has certain numbers of fanatic.
Female characters are so mighty, and "Railgun" has got support from female fans. Perhaps, it may be an antitheses for trend from old days that female is weaker than male. Do I think too much?
Anyway, it must be enjoyable if you like cute and strong characters. Ah, and if you like tsundere, too!
