The new season marks the first anime entry into the franchise since 2013’s A Certain Scientific Railgun S, which was also directed by Tatsuyuki Nagai.

Funimation currently holds the domestic rights to all released seasons of A Certain Scientific Railgun, which they describe as:

Misaka’s electro-manipulation abilities—and delightfully destructive Railgun projectile move—make her a rock star in Academy City. The techno-metropolis is packed with supernaturally powered students known as espers, including Misaka’s flirty friend and roommate, Kuroko. In this city full of super-powered gangs, mad scientists, and monsters—there’s no shortage of action!
