But since the arc of the Strip Lady who tried to save the her Error Children, it's always the protagonist Railgun that has to reap what she sows, handling problems one after another created by fault of her own immaturity, naivety, etc. (I want to say stupidity)

Review

To refresh our memories: I watched and reviewed A Certain Magical Index several months ago, and to be frank, I really didn't think it was any good, not at all.

What level is Saten in Sakugawa?

Saten is a class mate of Uiharu in Sakugawa Junior high. She is Level 0 , which means she has no esper powers at all. Which makes stands stands out among the main 4 girls in the series. That also makes her look like a loser in the bunch (If I am to go out of my way to say that). But it is said that people of level 0 can become level 1 if they studied hard. So it is not that Saten has no chance at getting an esper power.

What do you notice about Uiharu?

The first thing you will notice about Uiharu is her looks, with the strange flowers on the top of her head. Because that’s what I noticed the first time I saw it. ^^

What does it mean to have a character with esper powers?

One of the good things about having characters with esper powers means more variety of characters, as you can relate to the character with the ability you like, and not just their personality. It is also one of the old but nice ways to make any show enjoyable if done right.

Is there a second season of A Certain Scientific Railgun?

A second season of A Certain Scientific Railgun is already there, which is called A Certain Scientific Railgun S . It features the sisters arc in details, which you will recognise if you watched Index. It has a better character development than the original Railgun, especially when it comes to Misaka, and it features some of the best characters in the Railgun/Index universe in my opinion. So it is a must watch if you liked the original Railgun.

Is sci-fi in the future?

The sci-fi of the anime is not in the distant future, and it is not too apocalyptic to drive those who dislike the genre away. And it is done well to attract those who like it.

Is A Certain Scientific Railgun good?

The pacing of A Certain Scientific Railgun is considered good, but it is not the best you will see in anime, as sometimes the anime takes a little detour every now and then, which is to show you the daily lives of the characters, so I can’t say the pacing is good for that. The enjoyment of the anime makes up for the pacing, giving how things turn out at the climax of each arc. and the good amount of characters interaction.
