Story Synopsis:
Synopsis
Nanase Takeshi is a normal high-school student with a slightly traumatic past. You could say he's hard-working but in reality, he really cares about what others think about him. For some reason, he is going out with his childhood friend, Isoshima Kurumi, but otherwise, he's a pretty normal guy. One day, however, he sees a girl wearing a uniform he had never seen before, who had collapsed on his school grounds. She is Aiba Mui and her appearance marks the beginning to a series of weird incidents. She once said, "to be honest, I'm a magic user and sorry... I turned you into one too."

This coming season is full loaded!!!!

Liking the premise, the artwork looked a bit dark in both atmosphere and color palette, it's one of the five main announced series I'm very interested to have any excitement towards it. I hope the show will turn as slightly darker as expected.

Really surprised to see 5 of the MF Bunko J's LN series gonna be adapted into animes. Although Mahou Sensou is the least famous of the five, I am actually more interested in this series since I had read manga Chapter 1 and found it quite a nice story.

Other than this series, Vanadis and Seirei are also in my interest list.

The premise sound very interesing and the artwork looks great. And after watching that PV, I will give this one a whirl.

The Illustrations are good tbh. Out of the five, this one is number 2 on my preference list.

Confirmed for january 2014?

wow just checked out the manga, how did this go under the radar?

Doubtful. Spring 2014 is a more likely bet, considering how long Unbreakable Machine Doll took.

There's something I'm confused about the Synopsis

For some reason, he is going out with his childhood friend

so he is going out with his childhood friend why Synopsis saying it like it a strange thing :uhoh:

Yea, a protaganist already in a relationship means anime will go into areas similar anime have not. Pretty excited to see what happens.

Aiba somewhat "NTRed" her lol

eh... the synopsis pretty much shits on the current relationship lol. The only difference normally I guess would be any added drama from him already being in a relationship compared to normal.

Yes, this is what I'was thinking :eyebrow:

I was thinking more on the lines of the girlfriend stopping other girls from making a move on MC and it would feel more justified imo. There will be differences that I will be more likely to tolerate despite it being a doomed relationship which is why I am excited. Since the premise of a childhood girlfriend is not used as much as I would like, I want to enjoy every moment of it.

Looking forward to seeing this then again 4 other adaptions got confirmation as well so hope all get aired in the same season. xD

Mahou Sensou starts in 2014!
