The continued pushsh to bring more light novels to the world anime brought about the announcement that Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records back in March as being in the works. A new update has landed with a promo, key visual, cast and staff and based on the timing we’re going to guess that this will be a winter 2017 series. The series is being directed by Minato KLazuo based on the series composition and scripts from Touko Machida. Satoshi Kimura is on board as the character designer and chief animation director with it being animated at LIDENFILMS.
The Japanese cast now includes:
- Soma Saito as Glenn Radars

- Yume Miyamoto as Rumia Tingel
The series began in 2014 and comes from writer Tarou Hitsuji with illustration by Kurone Mishima. A manga adaptation also kicked off previously from Aosa Tsunemi that’s serialized in Shounen Ace. Five volumes have been produced so far.
Plot concept: Sistina attends a magical academy to hone her skills in the magical arts, hoping to solve the mystery of the enigmatic Sky Castle. After the retirement of her favorite teacher, the replacement, Glen, turns out to be a tardy, lazy, and seemingly incompetent bastard of an instructor. How is it that Glen was hand-picked by the best magician in the academy?!
