The Greatest Magicmaster's Retirement Plan Anime Casts Yui Ogura as Loki Leevahl
The staff of the television anime adaptation of Izushiro and Ruria Miyuki's light novel series The Greatest Magicmaster's Retirement Plan announced on Wednesday that Yui Ogura will voice the character Loki Leevahl. Loki is described as a high-ranking Magicmaster who transfers to the magical institute as a partner to the protagonist Alus Reigin. The announcement included a character visual for Loki. The anime is scheduled to premiere in 2027. Yuto Uemura stars as Alus Reigin, the nation's top Magicmaster out of more than 100,000, who requests retirement from military service at age 16 but instead ends up as a student at a special magical institute, hiding his identity while training successors and secretly defeating Fiends. Yusuke Suzuki is directing the anime at studio HOTLINE, with series scripts by Gigaemon Ichikawa, character designs by Yuki Kitajima, and sound direction by Takatoshi Hamano. A prequel manga, The Greatest Magicmaster's Retirement Plan Zero: The Secret History of the Beginning, is scheduled to launch this winter, depicting Alus' life before he enrolled in the magic academy. J-Novel Club publishes the novels in English.
