Yesterday, a stage event was held at the Dengeki Game Festival to promote The Irregular at Magic High School The Movie: The Girl Who Calls the Stars (Gekijōban Mahōka Kōkō no Rettōsei: Hoshi o Yobu Shōjo). At the event, a new key visual was unveiled, along with several new cast members and the film’s theme song artists.

In addition, the movie’s website updated with a new promotional video.

Aniplex of America currently holds the rights to the Irregular At Magic High School anime, which they describe as:

Based on the light novel by Tsutomu Sato, The irregular at magic high school is set in a world where magic exists but instead of using chants and spells, magic users cast spells with their Casting Assistant Device (CAD). The CAD is infused with the user’s Psions (a substance-less thought particle) that activates the device and constructs the magic ritual. less
