A Certain Scientific Railgun Blu-ray Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman, February 19, 2015

Spin-offs can typically have a hard time outshining their progenitors, or even maintaining the same general level of quality as whatsoever original property sparked their creation. The history of film and television is littered with spin-offs that either sputtered or only fitfully lived up to the potential of their "parent." Goggle box has never been very shy about offering near rabbit levels of procreation when it comes to spin- offs. The small screen is such a brutal marketplace that whenever anything hits big time, oft the first thought of producers or network honchos is, "How can nosotros parlay this into something else?" Warner Brothers had a virtual assembly line of spin-offs when information technology beginning broke into television receiver in the late fifties, with both westerns and private eye shows, some hardly discernable from each other, populating the airwaves. CBS filled much of its mid-sixties schedule with shows that had at least a tangential relationship to one of its oddest hits, The Beverly Hillbillies. A couple of decades afterwards, NBC didn't desire to allow the cash cow that was Cheers only fade into the dusk, and so gave birth to Frasier. Arguably, only a few shows, like Hillbillies "Bizarro world" outing Green Acres and Frasier itself were able to match (and perhaps even top) the creativity of whatever show inspired their births. Anime is a somewhat different territory, of course, and it's a genre that tends to often play like an animated version of i of those stereotypical menus from a Chinese restaurant of yesteryear, where you're urged to "accept one from Cavalcade A, one from Column B," and then on. At that place are a number of (sometimes plain odd) subgenres within anime, and the resulting labyrinth has led to a rather large number of similar properties through the years, including both traditional spin-offs and shows that may feel like spin-offs due to so much shared content, even if they're not officially linked to some other series. A Sure Scientific Railgun labels itself equally a so-called "side story" to A Certain Magical Alphabetize, but in many ways it's a more involving, circuitous achievement than its sibling (and/or parent).

For those wanting a bit of data on A Certain Scientific Railgun'due south anime sibling, data tin exist institute in our A Certain Magical Alphabetize: Flavor One Blu-ray review and A Sure Magical Index II: Part 1 Blu-ray review .


Equally with A Certain Magical Index, A Certain Scientific Railgun is largely congenital around student life in University City, a high tech wonderland where Roomba like robots sweep the city streets, windmills provide electricity and so-chosen "espers" zip near the urban center using their often psychokinetic powers to dispatch bad guys. Kuroko Shirai thinks she'south hot on the trail of some of these vandals, but she finds to her consternation that Mikoto Misaka has already "taken care of business."

Mikoto, whose less prominent (if still notable) office in A Sure Magical Index possibly inaccurately pigeonholed her as a tsundere more or less, is fleshed out considerably in A Certain Scientific Railgun, promoted here to "star" condition and at the helm of a coterie of young girls, all of whom have at least a semblance of esper powers. Few rise to Mikoto'southward abilities, even so, and in fact part of what works so winningly in A Sure Scientific Railgun is a more traditional shōnen aspect where even "level 0" (i.e., pretty powerless) espers have a chance to collaborate with their betters and grow their abilities through that interaction.

One of the really interesting things nigh A Certain Scientific Railgun is its portrayal of the relationship betwixt Mikoto and her roommate, Kuroko. Kuroko isn't quite at Mikoto's esper level, just does well enough to be a major player in Judgment, a kind of authorized vigilante group that attempts to go on the streets of Academy City free of ne'er-exercise-wells. While all of that is playing out in the background of many episodes, what's actually on Kuroko's mind is getting close to Mikoto�as in intimately close. The series is surprisingly straightforward (no pun intended) in detailing these lesbian proclivities on the office of Kuroko, and it gives the anime a distinctive border.

While A Certain Scientific Railgun does tend to pad some episodes with rote battles and fifty-fifty smaller calibration skirmishes between various students and their competing interests, the series remains generally very tightly focused, though that may come at the expense of a completely satisfying through line. Instead the series tends to piece of work improve taken almost as a succession of vignettes, though in the last handful or so of this collection'southward 24 episodes a surprising weaving of various story strands is accomplished. The series tin can be somewhat over convoluted at times, relying on a dizzying array of powers and cabalistic terminology, simply the characters�primary among them, Mikoto�are what drive this series and make information technology such an entertaining roller coaster ride.

A Certain Scientific Railgun Blu-ray, Video Quality

4.0 of 5

A Certain Scientific Railgun is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Funimation Entertainment with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.78:i. The pattern artful of this series is very much in line with what I described in the A Certain Magical Alphabetize: Season One Blu-ray review, with a kind of minimalist approach the keeps the testify from ever popping in whatsoever over the top fashion. Instead, a decently sharp epitome is helped by largely consistent line detail and good character designs (though Mikoto and Kuroko are nigh interchangeable from a facial standpoint, with merely their hairstyles providing an piece of cake differentiating point). Equally with its parent series, A Sure Scientific Railgun exploits shades of bluish very well, and moves slightly beyond that end of the spectrum to delve into purplish tones quite a bit of the time as well. Somewhat soft looking at times (in much the same way that A Sure Magical Index was), A Certain Scientific Railgun is solid only a scrap modest looking.

A Certain Scientific Railgun Blu-ray, Audio Quality

4.0 of 5

Again as with A Certain Magical Index , A Certain Scientific Railgun offers both an English dub in Dolby TrueHD 5.1 and the original Japanese language rail in Dolby TrueHD ii.0, and again every bit with its progenitor, the 5.1 track significantly improves the immersion in battle scenes, with things like the crepitation of electricity or the rush of Mikoto's "railgun" projectiles being much more vividly presented. Vocalism work in both versions is fantabulous. Allegiance is excellent every bit well, and dynamic range is very wide. In that location are no problems with dropouts, pops or other damage.

A Certain Scientific Railgun Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation

4.0 of 5

It may be "only" anime, but A Sure Scientific Railgun proves that spin-offs don't necessarily need to be only a faded carbon copy of their original. This kind of prequel (albeit one that spills over into the main timeframe of A Certain Magical Alphabetize) nicely mixes more traditional shōnen elements with the somewhat complex mythology of Academy City and its esper powered students. The interplay between Mikoto and Kuroko provides some of this series' most outr� elements, merely in that location'south some more downwards to world butt boot on brandish too. Technical merits are very potent, and A Certain Scientific Railgun comes Recommended.
