Nozomi Starts Streaming Magic User’s Club OVA


This is a club that’s doing more than just perfecting their mindfreaks!

Earlier this week, Nozomi Entertainment started streaming the Magic Users Club (Mahou Tsukai Tai) OVA series. The first two episodes are currently available in dubbed format.

Due to licensing restrictions, the series is only available to viewers in North America.

Magic Users Club OVA Boxart 001 - 20160114Magic Users Club is an original project from Triangle Staff. Junichi Sato (Aria – The Natural, Kaleido Star) directed the project, while Ikuko Ito (Princess Tutu, Sailor Moon SuperS) provided character designs. The team of Akinori Endo, Chiaki J. Konaka, and Junichi Sato wrote the show’s scripts.

The series spawned a 13-episode TV series, which aired in the summer 1999 broadcast season.

The six-episode OVA was released from 1996 to 1997. Media Blasters originally released the title (and its TV series sequel) on North America VHS and DVD. Nozomi Entertainment announced that they acquired both the TV series and OVA series in November.

Nozomi Entertainment will release both Magic User’s Club titles on DVD on April 5.

The publisher also streamed a trailer for the show, which you can check out below.
