Animax Asia announced on Tuesday that it will begin airing the Mysteria Friends (Manaria Friends) television anime on July 17 at 9:30 p.m. GMT +8. It will air a new episode every weekday in the same time slot.
The anime premiered in Japan in January 2019.
Hideki Okamoto (D.C. II: Da Capo II, Battle Girls - Time Paradox) directed the anime at Cygames Pictures. Satoko Sekine (Is This a Zombie? of the Dead, Tayutama - Kiss on My Deity) was in charge of series composition. Minami Yoshida (chief animation director for Terraformars Revenge, Love Live! School idol project) designed the characters. Takashi Watanabe (live-action Teiichi no Kuni, Nigakute Amai films) composed the music.
The anime tells an original story and centers on the characters Anne and Grea from the "Manaria Mahō Gakuin" (Mysteria Academy in the English version) event in Cygames' Rage of Bahamut social game. In the game, Mysteria Academy is a prestigious magic school that teaches magic without discrimination to the three factions (men, gods, demons), who usually are engaged in battle with each other. The anime is set in Mysteria Academy in the kingdom of Mysteria.
