posted on by Egan Loo
The official website for the television LiSA.
A previous commercial featured the ending theme Taku Iwasaki.
The anime's story takes place in a world in which magic is not a fairy tale, but has existed for nearly one hundred years. In the spring, the Private Magic University d High School (Magic High School for short) is welcoming its new students, and names the top incoming student with the best grades the Bloom (read as "garland" in Japanese). The student called the Weed is the Bloom's replacement.
Siblings Tatsuya (Saori Hayami) are designated as the Weed and Bloom, respectively. Tatsuya is a young man who always has a farsighted expression, and Miyuki is a young woman who feels far more for her brother than sibling love. Since the day the two entered the gates of the elite school, the establishment's peaceful days have become chaotic.
The voice cast includes:
Ryōhei Kimura as Hattori Gyōbu
Junichi Suwabe as Katsuto Jūmonji
Takuma Terashima as Leonhart Saijō (Leo)
Yumi Uchiyama as Erika Chiba
Satomi Satou as Mizuki Shibata
Atsushi Tamaru as Mikihiko Yoshida
Sora Amamiya as Honoka Mitsui
Yuiko Tatsumi as Shizuku Kitayama
Kana Hanazawa as Mayumi Saegusa
Mai Nakahara as Suzune Ichihara

The website announced in January that LiSA will contribute the opening theme song. Both LiSA and ELISA will sing at a March 23 stage event at the Anime Japan convention. Voice cast Yūichi Nakamura, Saori Hayami, Sora Amamiya, and Yuiko Tatsumi will also appear.
