Animax Asia Reruns Rental Magica Anime
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
International television channel Animax Asia announced on Monday that it will begin rerunning the Rental Magica television anime on Monday. The channel will air two episodes back-to-back every day on weekdays at 5:30 p.m. in Indonesia and Thailand, and at 6:30 p.m. in Singapore and the Philippines.
The anime centers on Itsuki Iba, an otherwise normal person who is forced to run the Astral magician dispatch company due to his father's disappearance. Due to his lack of magical ability, he initially finds it difficult to connect with his employees. While running Astral, he must find enough jobs to fulfill his quota and avoid closing down, all while contending with external threats, such as rival company Goetia, and a Dark Magician's Society.
The 24-episode anime premiered in 2007. Animax Asia previously aired the anime in March 2012. The anime series is based on Makoto Sanda's light novel series of the same name. Sanda serialized the novel series in Kadokawa's The Sneaker light novel magazine before it ceased publication in 2011. Sanda ended the series in April 2013 with the 23rd volume.
