A Look Back at the Series
The Irregular at Magic High School began as a web novel by Tsutomu Sato, first published on Shosetsuka ni Naro. Its popularity led to a light novel deal with Dengeki Bunko, with the series running from 2008 to 2011. In 2013, each story arc received a manga adaptation by various artists and publishers. The first season of the anime, produced by MADHOUSE, aired in 2014. The sequel, covering the Visitor Arc, was animated by studio 8bit and aired in the Fall of 2020. The third season, also by 8bit, premiered on April 5, 2021, and concluded with 12 episodes.
Season 3 Highlights
Season 3 of The Irregular at Magic High School focuses on three major story arcs from the light novels: "Double Seven," "Steeplechase," and "Ancient City Insurrection." It delves into the second year of siblings Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba at Magic High School.
Due to Tatsuya's remarkable abilities, he is placed in a new curriculum called the Magic Engineering course. The season begins with the introduction of three new first-year students: Izumi Saegusa, Kasumi Saegusa, and Takuma Shippou. As the magical politics within the school intensify, Tatsuya and his friends face new challenges. The season balances familiar elements with fresh characters, keeping fans engaged and eager for more.
What to Expect from the Yotsuba Succession Arc Movie
