Hello again my fellow anime enthusiasts (Aka Otaku), I'm here with another post about yet another magic related anime! I know I know by now you might be getting a little tired of these posts, but I promise it's only temporary and will definitely diversify soon. Anyway on to what this post is about; recently released was the sixth commercial for the quickly approaching anime Mahōka Kōkō no Rettōsei (The irregular at magic high school), and to go along with it a new key visual was also unveiled!
Izuru-san what even is The irregular at magic high school? Oh I was wondering when you would ask! Well a Japanese light novel series written by Tsutomu Satō and illustrated by Kana Ishida was adapted into several manga, each adapting a different arc of the light novel. Now, an anime television series adaptation by Madhouse is scheduled to air from April 5, 2014. As far as the story goes, the series is set in a world where magic exists and has been utilized as a technology for nearly a century. Rather than casting spells with chants or other traditional forms of spellcasting, mages use a Casting Assistant Device, better known as a CAD. Mages infuse the CAD with psions or thought particles (a substance-less particle and psychic phenomenon) while the CAD itself provides an activation sequence, which is then used to construct a magic ritual in order to invoke the magic. This magic ritual targets the Idea, the platform on which Eidos are recorded. Eidos refers to a form of information that is attached to a phenomenon. Modern magic uses false signals to manipulate the Eidos of a target, which in turn modifies the phenomenon and causes physical changes in the real world.
Well Izuru-san you gave us the setting and all, but what is the actual anime going to be about?! Oops guess I should give you more information, so as not to leave you confused and on your own to find it somewhere else! In the year 2095(81 years from now!), Tatsuya Shiba and his sister Miyuki Shiba are new students enrolling at the Private Magic University Affiliated High School (First High School). Students are ranked according to their test scores: students with the best grades are designated "Bloom" and enrolled in the Course 1 curriculum, while those with poor scores are designated "Weed" and enrolled in Course 2. Miyuki topped the entrance exams and is selected to be the first years' representative, while Tatsuya is placed in Course 2 due to his low practical test score, despite scoring the highest in the written portion of the exams. Now this answers your question doesn't it...probably should have answered the previous question with this information huh!
This sounds interesting Izuru-san, but where can I see those commercials you originally mentioned? Oh yes! Thank you for reminding me that is the whole reson for this post anyway. Well before you start watching the commercial please do know that I don't claim any parts of the video as my own and that all rights belong to the respective owners.
Want to thank Maxim Firsov for the videos used in this post!
Those commercials were short but they looked nice! What about the Visual you told us about earlier in the post Izuru-san? Good that you asked about it I actually have it all planned out in a fun way! So, what I have decided to do is that starting tomorrow I will start a countdown in the form of a post; each post will include the number of days left until the anime premiers and an official character picture with a short description of the character. This will happen every day until April 5th which is the premiere date of the anime (We know Izuru-san you have said it at least 3 times already what day it will be out -_-). Also, any time during the countdown I may include any other images related to the anime or manga for you to enjoy and get hyped about the series.
Anything else you can tell us Izuru-san? Hmmm...let me think for a second, and then I will let you know if there is anything else! Oh I got it this might not be something that many of you would care about, but there is the people behind the scenes of the anime. Manabu Ono (Full metal Panic!, Tenchi Muyo, and Hellsing) will be directing the anime with assistant director Yuuji Kumazawa at the Studio MADHOUSE (Black Lagoon, Cardcaptor sakura, and Gunslinger Girl). The original light novel illustrator Kana Ishida is also handling the anime character designs along with sub-character designer Maho Yoshikawa. There are three chief animation directors; Ishida, Maho Yoshikawa, and Shinichi Miyamae are their names and they will be working together on most of the animations while the action animation directors are Takashi Tomioka and Satoshi Iwataki who will be working on the battle sequences of the series. Oh yeah and I also heard that the first opening song of the series is by LiSA while the ending will be sung by ELISA both popular artist you might have even heard a part of the song in the clips above.
