# A Certain Scientific Railgun - Parent Guide This TV-14 anime features frequent action violence with superpowered characters battling in an urban setting, though without graphic gore. The mild language and sexual content are generally inoffensive, but the strong action sequences and overall intensity make it better suited for older children and teens rather than younger viewers.

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.
