According to the announcement at Dengeki Bunko Fall Festival 2013 event, the Anime of Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (魔法科高校の劣等生, The Irregular at Magic High School) was announced. If you are staying with us for a couple of years, you would probably remember that we actually talked about theexpectation of the Anime of the novel. Now it comes. First published as a web novel on Tsutomu Sato’s (佐島勤) own personal blog, the series was later backed by Dengeki Bunko and was published in June 2011, with the illustration done by Kana Ishida (石田 加奈). As for the cast, two popular voice actor/actress Yuuichi Nakamura (中村 悠一) and Saori Hayami (早見 沙織) will play the two main protagonists. The Anime will be produced by Mad House.

Story

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. (from ANN)

Though the story seems a bit cliche, which basically follow the worst student is actually the best student pattern, the male protagonist appears to be not so annoy (this is important) and guess we won’t end up something like a beautiful face but an empty mind and no, no examples here. Check out the above PV during the event for a quick view of the upcoming Anime. It should be quite worth the wait.
