A Certain Scientific Railgun

Synopsis

Misaka's electro-manipulation skills - and her delightfully destructive railgun projectile movement - make her a rock star in Academy City. The techno-metropolis is filled with supernaturally powerful students known as Espers, including Misaka's flirtatious friend and roommate, Shirai Kuroko. She uses her teleportation skills as a member of the Judgment law enforcement team, fighting crime alongside fellow agent Uiharu. Joined by their friend Saten, a spunky Level 0 Esper, Misaka, Kuroko, and Uiharu have a blast taking on danger whenever and wherever it arises.

Episodes:

Ep. 1: MMR: Much More Railgun (2010-01-29)

Another series of outtakes and bizarre sketches.

A short continuation of Mitsuko's hologram filler.
Ep. 4: Since Misaka-san Is the Center of Attention Right Now... (2010-10-29)

Continuing after the Level Upper incident, another phenomenon torments Misaka. A phenomenon called "Someone's Watching," its effect feels like the electricity in one's body flow backwards. With the help of her friends, Misaka fights against the unknown enemy.
Ep. 5: MMR III: Much More Railgun III (2013-07-24)

Ruiko uses her nose to smell if Mikoto's lunches have gone bad. Shinobu teaches Mikoto some English words and punishes her when she gets them wrong. Misaka 9982 jokingly plays a Kōan on Mikoto. Shinobu gives a Misaka clone expert gaming knowledge which ends up making her a hardcore gamer. Accelerator and Misaka 9982 discuss their voice acting careers since starting in 2006. Mikoto and the others failed to notice that Kazari is with them, due to the latter not wearing her flower headband.
Ep. 6: MMR IV: Much More Railgun IV (2013-11-27)

Mikoto suspects Academy City may come under attack by Kaijus from a certain movie and how they must prepare themselves. The girls wonder if Turtle blood really has aphrodisiac effects and Misaka 10032-tan replaces Index-tan's role on Toma's head.
Ep. 7: All the Important Things I Learned in a Bathhouse (2014-03-25)

Short Bonus Episode included in the official Visual Book sale. To prevent the closing of a public bath, Misaka and her friends do their best to prevent this.
Ep. 8: MMR V: Much More Railgun V (2020-04-30)

The real reason why Misaka 10032 gets hospitalized.
Ep. 9: MMR VI: Much More Railgun VI (2020-10-09)

The short likely consists of multiple parody vignettes, each referencing a particular Railgun T episode. Because the adaptation list is long, the short probably shifts between several of these scenes for comedic re‑interpretation.
Ep. 10: Toaru Kagaku no Railgun T - Episode 25 [ Director Cut Ver. ] (2020-10-09)

Director's cut version of episode 25. Includes 2minutes of extra footage.
