“The Royal Court Magician Who Only Played Support Magic Because His Allies Weak Was Banished and Aims to Become the Strongest” is a fantasy that begins with the royal court magician Alec, who has been supporting the crown prince from behind the scenes, being banished. Alec once graduated from the Royal Magic Academy at the top of his class but has focused on supporting magic to protect the crown prince and his party.
However, the crown prince tells him he is useless because he can only use support magic and banishes him from the party. Alec visits the Royal Magic Academy, where he once studied hard, and there he is reunited with YoRHa, the genius support magician with whom he was at a party at the time. He is invited to “form a party again.”… A comic book adaptation by Yuki Moji is currently being serialized in Magazine Pocket, and 14 volumes have been published.
The director is Ken Takahashi, and the character designer and chief animation director is Yoko Sato. Gekko produces the animation. Comments have arrived from Director Takahashi and Sato, as well as Umeda, who plays Alex, Alto, and Yuunagi, who was in charge of the original character design for the novel. Yuunagi and Moji sent congratulatory illustrations.
In addition, the official anime site X is running a campaign to give away autographed colored paper with handwritten messages from Alto and Yuunagi. Two people will be chosen by lottery. For details, please check X. Comment from Shuuichirou Umeda (voice of Alec Yugret): I am Shuuichirou Umeda, and I will play the role of Alec Yugret. Alec has a gentle demeanor and a calm appearance.
However, his impression changes entirely once he is in battle, and he shows a passionate and powerful appearance. Witness how he, banished from the royal court, meets his allies again and regains his passion. I feel mightily rewarded while playing the role! Thank you very much. Please look forward to the broadcast!!! Aruto (original author) commented that I am thrilled to have been given the rare opportunity to make this into an anime!! The never-ending story of Alex and the other four will reach many people through the anime.
I also want to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who was involved and to all the readers. Thank you very much! Yuunagi (character original) comment: “The court magician who was confined to supporting magic because his allies were too weak was banished and aims to become the strongest.” Thanks to everyone who has always supported the work, it has been decided to make it into a TV anime!! As a fan of the work, I am thrilled to be able to watch this hot and intense adventure story as an anime! Please look forward to seeing the four Lasting Periods, Alex, YoRHa, Cracia, and Honest, moving, talking, and doing their best! Takahashi Ken (director) said I would be the director this time.
I feel an unspoken bond between the characters of this work, who are both cool and warm. I am facing this work and want to express that through Alex. The entire staff is working on the site to create this work, so I hope you will enjoy it. Comment from Yoko Sato (Character Designer, Chief Animation Director): When I first saw the original work, I thought its appeal was all about the classics. A cool protagonist, a cute girl, reliable companions, and a strong, evil enemy! Defeating them one by one with everyone’s strength is very satisfying. So, I will focus on making cool characters cool, cute characters cute, and evil characters just bad, without thinking too much about the details. I hope everyone will enjoy this classic adventure fantasy.
