We learned last fall that the Magical Girl Site manga, which is seeing a release from Seven Seas Entertainment here, is on track for a TV anime adaptation. The show is set for the spring 2018 season and with the arrival of the second promotional video that gives us a taste of the opening theme song we have a premiere date of April 6th, 2018. Tadahito Matsubayashi will be directing it based on the series composition by Takayo Ikami. Production doA is on board for the animation after recently working on their first main project with Is the order a rabbit?? Dear My Sister.
The Japanese cast includes:
- Yuuko Ono as Aya Asagiri
- Himika Akenaya as Tsuruno Yatsumura
- Haruka Yamazaki as Sarina Shizukume
- Yuu Serizawa as Nijimi Anazawa
- Aina Suzuki as Rina Shioi
- Nobuhiko Okamoto as Kaname Asagiri
- Tatsuhisa Suzuki as Kiichirō Misumi
- Yūya Asato as Keisuke Naoto
The book comes from Kentarou Satou and began serialization in Champion Tap! back in July 2013 before shifting to a bigger magazine with Weekly Shounen Champion in the fall of 2017.
Plot Concept: Asagiri Aya is a young girl who has fallen victim to bullies at her school. Looking for a way to escape her troubles, she looks to the internet for distraction, when a mysterious website called “Magical Girl Site” appears. Simply viewing the page is all it takes to hurtle Aya headlong into the deadly world of the Magical Girl Apocalypse. There, it’s fight or die, against a seemingly endless array of savagely adorable, frilly-skirted killing machines, each armed with magical powers and an unquenchable thirst for blood and chaos.
