Toaru Kagaku no Railgun OVA

"Since Misaka-san is the Center of Attention Right Now..." (御坂さんはいま注目の的ですから) is the first OVA for the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun anime series. It was first released on October 29, 2010.

Synopsis
In Judgment Branch 177 Office, to repay for what everyone has done to help her, Mikoto treats everyone with cakes and pastries from Pasticceria Manicagni and Kuroko becomes the receiving end of a relaxing massage from her roommate.

Soon, they talk about Asako's crimes, which is part of revenge for being fired as Power Development Manager of Nagatenjouki, which in turn, receives the pressuring task of producing a Level 5. Kuroko later talks about how Uiharu and Saten did their best in their part. Uiharu then talks about Kuroko's dedication to protect Mikoto, watching her every move (which brought up unexpected results); Kuroko tries to deny her claim, but Mikoto finaly realizes that the "Someone's Watching" urban legend cannot happen inside Tokiwadai, and Kuroko is in fact to blame for her uneasiness on-campus.

Because of this, Kuroko receives another flurry of Mikoto's electric attacks.

Trivia

 * This would mark the first time we see Mikoto actually attending class.
 * The original sound effect for Touma's Imagine Breaker that was used in the Toaru Majutsu no Index anime is restored.
 * Kuroko references that there are two level 5's in Tokiwadai Middle . This would be the first time the Queen of Tokiwadai is referenced in the anime adaptation, though not in name.
 * The events of the OVA are referred to in the manga, suggesting that at least the general events that took place in it are canon.

Referbacks

 * Kuroko references the Level Upper Incidents, specifically episode 12 after Mikoto stops the AIM Burst.
 * Uiharu references Kongou's pet python that appears in episode 13 of the anime adaptation.

Cultural References

 * The cameras that Mikoto and her friends use in the opening are, specifically the Fujica Single-8 P300 camera. They record to the Super 8mm film format, which are essentially magnetic film stripes and are seen in the closing moments of the opening where Mikoto edits the videos she took from the camera on film. The cameras, created in 1965, used to record home movies until they are replaced by digital cameras, although amatuer film directors and artists still use them to this day.
 * The (UNESCO) is a specialised agency of the United Nations (UN) aimed at promoting world peace and security through international cooperation in education, the sciences, and culture.

Animation Trivia

 * If you read closely you can see that the magazine Mikoto is reading in Green Mart is called Biribiri Comic.
 * Several scenes from previous Toaru Kagaku no Railgun episodes are reused during the animation.
