Crunchyroll Adds Magical Circle Guru-Guru Anime

posted on by Karen Ressler
Fantasy comedy series to simulcast on Tuesdays

Crunchyroll began streaming the first episode of Magical Circle Guruguru, the new anime adaptation of Hiroyuki Etō's original Mahōjin Guru Guru (Magical Circle Guruguru) manga, on Tuesday. New episodes will stream worldwide outside of Asia on Tuesdays at 2:05 p.m. EDT.

Crunchyroll describes the story:

Nike, a boy from the Boering Village village, is forcefully sent along on a quest to defeat the Devil King after his Hero-worshipping parents see a posting from the king summoning potential heroes.

Following the village's traditions, he visits the magical old lady where he is entrusted with caring for a young girl named Kukuri, who can use the mysterious Guru Guru magic. According to the old woman's claims, Kukuri is the last survivor of the Migu Migu clan who wield Guru Guru, and she has been waiting for a Hero to appear.

It will be a journey filled with laughter, and occasional tears. And now the classic fantasy featuring a slacker Hero and a naive young Mage begins unfold!

Hiroshi Ikehata (Seiyu's Life!, Robot Girls Z, Akiba's Trip: The Animation) is the show's "series director," and Tetsuaki Watanabe (episode director for all three seasons of Haikyu!!) is the assistant director at Production I.G. Hisaaki Okui (Hacka Doll the Animation director under the name Ikuo Geso) is handling the series composition, and Naoyuki Asano (Mr. Osomatsu, Saint Young Men) is the character designer. TECHNOBOYS PULCRAFT GREEN-FUND is composing the music at Lantis.

The new anime adaptation is not a sequel of previous anime or an adaptation of the Mahōjin Guru Guru 2 manga, but starts with the story of the manga's first chapter when Nike and Kukuri meet in Jimina Village.
