An anime adaptation of Tsutomu Satou's Mahōka Kōkō no Rettōsei (The irregular at magic high school) light novels was unveiled at the Dengeki Bunko Fall Festival event on Sunday. Manabu Ono (Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere, Saki Episode of Side A) will be directing the anime at animation studio Mad House. Leading the cast will be Yūichi Nakamura (Zettai Karen Children, Macross F) as Tatsuya Shiba, and Saori Hayami (Bakuman., MM!) as Miyuki Shiba.

A promotional video was also screened at the event.

The story takes place in a world in which magic is not a fairy tale, but has existed for nearly one hundred years. In the spring, the Private Magic University Affiliated High School (Magic High School for short) is welcoming its new students, and names the top student with the best grades at the time of their arrival the Bloom (read as “garland” in Japanese), and the student called the Weed is the Bloom's replacement.

Twin siblings Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba are designated as the Weed and Bloom, respectively. Miyuki is given the title of Bloom due to her amazing grades, while Tatsuya is given the title of Weed due to his poor grades. Tatsuya, the young man who always has a farsighted expression, and Miyuki, the young woman who feels far more for her brother than sibling love. Since the day the two entered the gates of the elite school, the establishment's peaceful days have become chaotic.

Satou began writing the novel with character designs and illustrations by Kana Ishida (Aquarion Evol character design) in 2008 under the Dengeki Bunko label, and ASCII Media Works is publishing the twelfth volume of the light novel series on Thursday.

I hope they'll be able to control the pacing as well as info dump since there's a shitload of those especially about the mechanics of magic in Mahouka.

I doubt it. Every single anime i've watched that is adapted from a LN squeezes as much bulk plot as possible at cost of details, and the first ones to go are the technical detials, making things look like a load of deus ex devices and the show in general ends up a little shallow.

I pray for i am wrong though, I like very much Mahouka.

I sincerely pray that the anime follows the light novel closely. I really hope they don't ruin this series, or end up going with the wrong style of animation. I still remember Negima (the first series that was toooo childish, and the second series that was more dark/artsy), that would've made a great shounen series if they just followed the manga properly, story and style.

I truly love this series, I've reread it many times. I pray, pray, pray! That they do it right.

ZOMG PLEASE BE REAL
