The TV anime “Once upon a time, magical girls and evil were enemies.” will begin broadcasting in July 2024. ‘The second PV ~Side Magical Girl~ has been released. Additionally, additional cast members were announced: Shinichiro Miki, Mariya Ise, and Hikaru Midorikawa.

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.

Additionally, additional cast members include Shinichiro Miki, Mariya Ise, and Hikaru Midorikawa. The three people who played the same roles in the original drama CD released in 2015 will breathe life into the animation.

Miki plays the role of Mitsukai (a cat), an oracle 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 is a character with an outstanding quirk that is described as “Yaza” by those around him.

Ise plays Kagari Hibana, a magical girl who tends to go out of control when she is embarrassed or unable to be honest. Mr. Midorikawa will play the role of the messenger (bird), who is a messenger of sparks and has a high level of consciousness, and who is on the same level as the messenger (cat). Following the decision to share the role, we received comments of joy from the three members.

I was able to participate in the CD drama nine years ago, and I’m really happy to be able to participate in the animation this time. 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.

This time, 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 a long time 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 that I play! You mean your familiar bird moves around, right? It must have had quite an impact (bitter smile).

Anyway! Sparks are so cute♪ Thank you for your support, Sparks.
