Magical Girl Raising Project has moved into promotion and production for two new adaptations. The stage play runs January 8 to 13 at the Owlspot Theatre in Tokyo, and the Restart anime premieres October 5, with a new studio, Synergy SP, replacing Lerche.
Asari Endo's light novel series Magical Girl Raising Project is being adapted into two new formats. The most recent addition is a stage play, announced for January 8 to 13 at the Owlspot Theatre in Tokyo, with Rino Mochizuki as Snow White, Risa Tsumugi as Ripple, Aya Emori as Top Speed, Fumi Taniguchi as La Pucelle, Hazuki Tanda as Hardgore Alice, and Kurumi Mamiya as the voice of Fav. Saki Nagata writes and directs.
The stage run follows the Restart anime, which premieres October 5. It airs on TV Tokyo late at night at 2:00 a.m. (effectively October 6), then on AT-X and BS Fuji on October 7. Director Hiroyuki Hashimoto and scriptwriter Takao Yoshioka return from the 2016 anime, with Synergy SP replacing Lerche as the animation studio. Masako Ito joins as lead character designer, working from Maruino's character art. Yoshioka contrasts new protagonist Pechka with Snow White, who was driven by a conviction Pechka lacks.
The gap between the 2016 anime and Restart was a business decision. Hashimoto said the series' dark premise, in which magical girls are culled, required viewers to have mental preparation before a sequel could work, and that the project was greenlit after a change in the primary animation production company and interest from EPX Corp.
