Magical Girl Raising Project Restart Anime Confirmed for 2026
The official website for Magical Girl Raising Project Restart, based on Asari Endo’s light novel, has unveiled its first teaser trailer. The announcement confirms that the new anime series will begin airing in 2026.
Fans of the dark magical girl franchise have waited a decade since the first anime aired in 2016, and now the survival-driven story returns with fresh visuals, new designs, and a familiar creative team.
Minori Chihara to Perform Opening Theme "No tears here"
Renowned singer and voice actor Minori Chihara (best known as Yuki Nagato in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) has been confirmed as the opening theme performer.
The theme song, titled “No tears here,” features lyrics by Aki Hata and composition by Q-MHz. Chihara commented:
“I once played the role of the Demon King Pam in the Mahoiku reading play, and now I’ve been given the chance to perform the opening theme again. This song reflects the struggles of magical girls, both fighting and non-fighting. I hope fans will enjoy it when the anime airs.”

The First Anime Recap
The original Magical Girl Raising Project anime aired from October to December 2016. Adapted from Endo’s light novel and illustrated by Maruino, it introduced a deadly twist on the magical girl genre.
Crunchyroll describes the story as:
“Magical Girl Raising Project is a popular social game granting a rare chance for players to become real magical girls with unique powers. But when Fav, the administrator fairy, decides to reduce the magical girl population by half, the once-bright fantasy becomes a brutal survival game.”
Why Fans Are Excited for Restart
With its intense mix of battle royale survival and dark magical girl themes, Magical Girl Raising Project gained a loyal fanbase. The announcement of Restart promises a return to high-stakes drama, character-driven conflict, and shocking plot twists that defined the original.
