Netflix Streams The Irregular at Magic High School Season 2 in India

Netflix is listing the The Irregular at Magic High School: Visitor Arc, the second season of The irregular at magic high school television anime, for release in India on November 1. The company is streaming a trailer for the season.

Netflix describes the anime season:

After the Scorched Halloween, the USNA's military unit sends its most powerful magician to infiltrate the school, disguised as an exchange student.

The season premiered in October 2020 after a delay from July 2020. The anime adapts the arc of the same name from Tsutomu Satou's original light novel series.

Returning cast members include Yūichi Nakamura as Tatsuya Shiba, Saori Hayami as Miyuki Shiba, and Yōko Hikasa as Angelina Kudō Shields.

Risako Yoshida (The irregular at magic high school The Movie: The Girl Who Summons the Stars) directed the season at 8-Bit. Original character designer Kana Ishida is credited as the character designer, and Taku Iwasaki returned to compose the music. Singer ASCA contributed the opening theme song "Howling," while Miki Satō made her debut on a major label with the ending theme song "Na mo Nai Hana" (The Nameless Flower).

Satou's The irregular at magic high school (Mahōka Kōkō no Rettōsei) light novel series launched in 2008. The series ended with the 32nd volume, subtitled "Sacrifice-hen/Sotsugyō-hen" (Sacrifice/Graduation Arc), in September 2020. The novels also have two sequels. The first sequel, titled Zoku・Mahōka Kōkō no Rettōsei Magian Company (Sequel・The Irregular at Magic High School Magian Company), debuted in October 2020. The second series, titled Shin・Mahōka Kōkō no Rettōsei Cygnus no Otome-tachi (New・The Irregular at Magic High School Maidens of Cygnus), debuted on January 9.

Yen Press releases the original The irregular at magic high school light novel series and Yu Mori's The Honor Student at Magic High School spinoff manga. The novel series has inspired multiple manga from different authors, based on different arcs of the novels.

The novel series inspired a 26-episode television anime that debuted in April 2014, directed by Manabu Ono at Madhouse. Netflix began streaming the season in India on February 1. The novels have also inspired the The irregular at magic high school The Movie: The Girl Who Summons the Stars anime film, which opened in Japan in June 2017.
