Something sinister is going on in Academy City. The shadows are filled with whispers of an organization cloning super-powered students known as espers. High-ranking master of electricity, Mikoto Misaka, laughs off these stories until she comes face to face with a copy of herself. After learning that these clones - her sisters - are being systematically murdered in a series of experiments designed to turn a sadistic killer into the strongest esper in history, Misaka vows to save her copies and destroy the organization responsible for the project.
As Misaka prepares to face off against the organization’s power-hungry esper, she discovers that she wasn’t the only victim of the scientific forces conspiring within the city - and that’s something Misaka and the girls of Judgement simply won’t stand for.

Where it came from
A Certain Scientific Railgun S was produced by J.C.Staff and released in 2013 as the second season of the anime adaptation of the manga series written by Kazuma Kamachi. Serving as a spin-off to A Certain Magical Index, the series focuses on Mikoto Misaka, a powerful esper living in Academy City. The production sought to expand on the emotional stakes of the franchise by adapting the Sisters arc, which explores themes of identity, ethics in scientific advancement, and the burdens of power.
The visual design and direction were helmed by Tatsuyuki Nagai, who aimed to balance high-intensity action sequences with quiet, character-driven moments to deepen the audience's connection to the supporting cast. Upon its release, the series was well-received by fans and critics alike, frequently noted for its animation quality and its ability to provide a more focused, character-centric perspective than its parent series.
