Muse Malaysia announced on Tuesday that it will add the Blade Dance of the Elementalers (Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance) television anime on Thursday at 9:30 p.m. GMT +8.
Muse Malaysia describes the anime:
On his way to Areishia Spirit Academy, Kamito Kazehaya runs into a naked Claire Rouge, a student who had been bathing as part of a purification ceremony. She had been preparing to form a contract with a powerful spirit in order to acquire more power as an "elementalist." Her efforts are wasted, however, when Kamito ends up with the spirit despite the fact that only shrine maidens can become elementalists. Yet to be discouraged, Claire then announces that Kamito must become her contracted spirit instead!After reaching the school grounds, Kamito escapes from Claire and meets Headmaster Greyworth Ciel Mais, who invites him to enroll at the academy. Although his life at Areishia will be far from easy as the only male student among the shrine princesses-in-training, he begrudgingly accepts in exchange for information about his former contracted spirit, Restia Ashdoll. Adding on to that, he also must fulfill Greyworth's main request: to win in the Blade Dance, a battle festival occurring in two months, where he will face the strongest elementalist rumored to be contracted with a darkness spirit.
The series premiered in Japan in July 2014. Animax Asia also previously aired the anime in Southeast Asia in 2016.
The anime adapts Yū Shimizu's light novel series of the same name. Tetsuya Yanagisawa (High School DxD, Destiny of the Shrine Maiden) directed the series at studio TNK (School Days, High School DxD). Takao Yoshioka (WATAMOTE, Senran Kagura) oversaw the series' scripts, and Maki Fujii (07-Ghost, Destiny of the Shrine Maiden) adapted Hanpen Sakura's original character designs for animation.
