Synopsis
Academy City stands at the forefront of scientific and technological progress, best known for their development of espers: those capable of wielding superhuman abilities that alter the rules of reality. The most powerful among them are the Level 5s, and the one known as Accelerator reigns supreme, even after being weakened by a severe brain injury. By his side is the young girl known as Last Order, whom despite his cold demeanor, he holds closely and vows to protect at all costs. Though Accelerator may be recovering from his injury, the dark side of Academy City never rests, and so he finds himself unwillingly caught up in the midst of a new conflict. When a mysterious young woman approaches Accelerator in pursuit of Last Order, the highest-ranked esper is confronted by a venomous organization that has taken root in Anti-Skill, Academy City's peacekeeping organization. With dangerous forces on the move that threaten to put Last Order and her sisters at risk, the self-proclaimed villain prepares to step into the darkness once again. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Write review 26 Recommended 8 Mixed Feelings 4 Not Recommended All reviews (38) Nov 16, 2025 Scanerior Recommended The series A Certain Magical Index, Accelerator and Railgun form one world and are closely connected, so I'll take the liberty of writing a joint review. This entire anime world operates on the idea of a technological city, saints and people with "supernatural abilities" - this may seem at first glance like a rather wild combination that will only result in strange chaos, but the opposite is true. The series builds its world on characters that you will immediately like, invents great plots, builds a world with a glimpse of the future, but keeps its aces up its sleeve and works best of all with ...small jokes, often mainly with "running jokes", which, however, do not become boring or annoying. Index is a more fragmented series with many plots, which goes through everything quickly and the quality of the individual parts is unfortunately a bit uneven, while the first season is rather entertaining, the second is already 50/50 and the third is a minor explosion. Accelerator has one solid story, which is mainly driven by the character of Accelerator himself, and that's actually enough, this hero who pretends to be a villain is a distinctive personality, who together with Misaka Misaka forms an unforgettable funny-serious duo. Railgun is then the brightest flash of this entire series - it wonderfully expands the abbreviated Index, brings the best combination of characters led by Biribiri, also works with its own plots, which are always well explained (the villains have a motive, the plots are not acted out or at least presented in a not quite classic way and they leave time for a satisfactory ending), there are a lot of funny jokes, the action is sometimes incredibly impressive and well thought out and I am simply drawn to this series like lightning by a lightning rod. I really enjoy this world in the finale! - Scanerior enthusiastically concludes his review. Reviewer’s Rating: 8 What did you think of this review?

Thankfully this isn't as long as Index III, because if it were, I could see this being close to a 2. I gave this a better score because I did actually enjoy the first couple of episodes and had my eye on a score of 7 at around episode 3, but it got so bad so quick I was amazed. The story kept getting more and more dull and uninteresting as I neared the end, as well as really predictable and overall trash. Animation also was a downgrade ...from Index/Railgun. Even though it wasn't that much of a bother to me, I still kept it in mind when rating this. In summary, thank god this was only 12 episodes and not more.
