As we get closer to the release of the first part of the second season of A Certain Scientific Railgun S on July 1st, 2014, FUNimation’s ramping up the marketing a bit. We’ve had a dub clip already but now they’re shifting gears a bit to do a straight out trailer to promote the release. The release will bring the first twelve episodes of the season out on DVD-only for $59.98 which will come with a pair of commentary tracks on the disc and the clean opening and closing sequences.
Plot concept: Something sinister is growing in Academy City. The shadows are filled with whispers of a project to clone one of the super-powered students known as espers. High-ranking master of electricity Mikoto Misaka laughs off these stories until she comes face to face with a copy of herself. The duplicates are real, and are being mass-produced from Misaka’s DNA, making each one of them a little piece of her.
These clones—her sisters—are being systematically murdered in a series of experiments designed to turn a sadistic killer into the strongest esper in history. Misaka vows to save her copies and destroy the project, but this might be one fight she can’t win alone. High-energy battles and intense action explode in this continuation of the Railgun series from the creator of A Certain Magical Index.
