WWWave Corporation‘s anime streaming platform OceanVeil began streaming the television anime of Asari Endō‘s Magical Girl Raising Project Restart light novel series on Monday.

The company also recently began streaming the Persona 4 The Animation anime on September 26.

The Magical Girl Raising Project Restart anime debuted on TV Tokyo on Monday late at night at 2:00 a.m. (effectively Tuesday), and then on AT-X and BS Fuji on Wednesday.

The anime stars:

Nao Tōyama returns from the original anime as Snow White.

Hiroyuki Hashimoto returns from the first Magical Girl Raising Project anime as the director. Takao Yoshioka is returning to write the script. Masako Itou (Magical Girl Raising Project SD character designer) is designing the characters for the new anime based on original designs by Maruino. Satoki Iida is returning as sound director. Synergy SP is the new animation studio, replacing Lerche that animated the previous Magical Girl Raising Project anime. Minori Chihara performs the anime’s opening theme song “No tears here.” Daisy×Daisy performs the ending theme song “ReMind.”

The first 12-episode Magical Girl Raising Project anime premiered in Japan on the AT-X channel in October 2016, and Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired.

Endō’s Mahō Shōjo Ikusei Keikaku light novel series is set in a world where a social game called The Magical Girl Raising Project allows one in tens of thousands of people to be a “magical girl” — possessing extraordinary physical capabilities and looks, as well as special magical powers that set them apart from the rest of the human race. But one day, in a district containing 16 magical girls, the administration announces that it must halve the number of magical girls to solve the problem of magical energy. At first, the 16 magical girls race to collect more “magical candy” than their competitors, but the rules quickly become twisted, and it quickly becomes a murderous battle for survival among them.

Endō launched the original light novel series through Takarajimasha‘s Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! Bunko imprint in June 2012, and Takarajimasha published the 18th volume in November 2023. The second and third light novel volumes, published in November and December 2012, cover the “Restart” arc. Yen Press began publishing the novel series in English in June 2017.

Nori-Senbei launched the manga adaptation of the “Restart” arc in Kadokawa‘s Monthly Comp Ace magazine in 2016, and Kadokawa published one volume in September 2016.

Dead by Daylight is no stranger to collaborations with anime and manga. In July 2022, the game partnered with popular anime series Attack on Titan for a set of player cosmetics. The game also had two anime related collaborations in early 2025 with manga creator Junji Ito that January and popular horror anime series Tokyo Ghoul that March.

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetric multiplayer game where one player takes control of a savage killer, who hunts down four other non-killer players in a killing ground. The goal of the non-killer players is to escape the killing ground. The game is well-known for featuring a wide cast of killers from other media franchises including Silent Hill, Halloween, Stranger Things, and many others. The game launched in June 2016 for PlayStation 4 and for the Xbox One in 2017. It was ported to Nintendo Switch in 2019, and PlayStation 5, Stadia, and Xbox Series X|S in 2020.

The NieR:Automata game shipped for PlayStation 4 in Japan in February 2017, followed by North America and Europe in March 2017. Square Enix also released the game on PC via Steam in March 2017, and on Xbox One in June 2018. The game launched on Switch in October 2022.

The game inspired a television anime NieR:Automata Ver 1.1a, which premiered in January 2023. The second cours (quarter of year) premiered in July 2024. Crunchyroll is streaming the anime.
