Add another novel adaptation going to anime from Dengeki Bunko as they made the announcement this weekend that Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, aka The Irregular At Magic High School, is going to make the leap some time in 2014. The light novel series has done well since its introduction in the summer of 2011 as this month is seeing the release of the twelfth installment for it. The show is definitely on the fast track as part of Dengeki Bunko’s 20th anniversary push to bring more of its materials into the spotlight as a two minute trailer has also been revealed which includes the production team and cast. The series is set to be directed by Ono Manabu with character designs by Ishida Kana. Animation is being done by Madhouse.
The cast so far includes:
- Shiba Tatsuya – Nakamura Yuichi
- Shiba Miyuki – Hayami Saori
Plot concept: Magic is a product of neither legends nor fairy tales, but instead has become a technology of reality since a time unknown to people. Supernatural power became a technology systematized through magic, while magic became a technical skill. A “Supernatural Power User” became a “Magic Technician.” Magic Technicians (in short, Magicians) are nurtured through Magic High Schools and Universities.
