Story: genre of this anime is slice of life. The story is simple yet interesting. Although I watched this anime without watching the original series (To Aru Majutsu no Index), I still understand the story. 7/10

Animation: the animation is quite good if it is compared with another 2009-released animes. 7/10

Music: fripSide sang the opening themes very well, I was even played "only my railgun" and "Level 5: Judgelight" thousand times with my MP3 player. However, Elisa's ending themes are not special, I think. 8/10

Artwork: I quite love the artwork, especially the main character. Misaka is tsundere and moe girl and I like her. 8/10

Seiyuu: Kuroko's voice was make me dizzy. However, another characters' voice is so-so. 5/10

Overall: 7/10
