The TV anime Once Upon a Time, Magical Girls, and Evil Were Enemies will be broadcast from July 2024. The second PV, Side Magical Girl, has been released. It was also announced that it would be broadcast on TOKYO MX, BS11, and AT-X.
The second PV ~Side Magical Girl~ focuses on the days of Byakuya, a poor magical girl who is quite a hard worker and works various part-time jobs as a magical girl. It includes plenty of footage that will be released for the first time, including her appearance and gorgeous, fantastical transformation scenes.
Additional cast members were announced: Shinichiro Miki, Mariya Ise, and Hikaru Midorikawa. Shinichiro Miki plays Mitsukai (a cat), who descends from heaven to guide magical girls. He has the appearance of a human-sized cat, and although he is a messenger of Byakuya, he has an outstanding quirk described as “Yaza” by those around him.
Mariya Ise plays Kagari Hibana, a magical girl who tends to go wild when embarrassed or unable to be honest. Hikaru Midorikawa will play the role of the bird, the messenger of sparks, who has a high level of consciousness and is on the same level as the cat and dog. We have also received comments from each cast member.
Familiar (cat): Shinichiro Miki
I was able to participate in the CD drama nine years ago, and I’m pleased to be able to join in this animation as well. I would be happy if you could enjoy the somewhat chaotic worldview depicted in the original work’s delicate lines in the animation. Thank you.
Kigare Spark: Mariya Ise
This is Mariya Ise, who plays the role of Sparks! Anime adaptation of Kokoa Fujiwara’s “Mahoaku”… I’m pleased. I love playing such a cute and outrageous role as Sparks (lol). I hope many people will enjoy it. Please wait for the broadcast…!
Emissary (bird): Hikaru Midorikawa
This time, I would like to introduce the anime “Once Upon a Time, Magical Girls and Evil Were Enemies.” I’m glad to be able to participate in this. It was made into a CD drama long ago, but I didn’t expect it to be made with the original cast. Thank you very much. And by making it into an anime, I mean the character I play! You tell your familiar bird to move around, right? It must have had quite an impact (bitter smile). Anyway! Sparks are so cute. I appreciate your support, Sparks.
“Magical Girls and Evil Were Once Enemies ” is a TV anime adaptation of Kokoa Fujiwara’s romantic love comedy, serialized in the monthly magazine Gangan Joker (published by Square Enix) from 2013 to 2015. I look forward to further information.
