Nozomi Entertainment has announced at their panel at Nebraskon that they’ve acquired the rights to the Magic User’s Club anime series. They intend to bring it out in the spring of 2016. The series was originally released by Media Blasetrs in North America and received an English language dub that’s expected to be part of this license rescue pickup.
According to those at the panel, it includes both the TV and OVA series.
Originally released in 1997 and 1999, it was directed by Junichi Sato based on series composition by Chiaki Konaka. Ikuko Ito served as the character designer and chief animation director.
Plot concept: One sunny day invaders came from space. They weren’t little green men or funny girls wearing school uniforms, though. They were ugly robots which defeated the UN forces in seconds. After that the invaders(known as “eyeballs”) roamed around and observed human society. In fact, they were peaceful unless attacked. They were polite and followed all the traffic laws, too. Still, they were aliens and the people of Earth wanted them to go home. The Kitanohashi High School Magic Club took it on themselves to defeat these foul robots and free the world.
Well I’m happy for the rest of the year. Didn’t think I’d see that one again.
