The Mazica Party anime series will have a movie on December 3
The official website of the television anime mazica party announced on Monday that the anime will receive a compilation that will be released in Japan on December 3. Skypeace members, who are performing the show's new opening theme, will be voicing guest roles in the film.
The anime is part of Takara Tomy's new “magic x party” themed multimedia franchise that also includes a card game. The anime premiered on April 4.
The franchise's story centers on wizards harvesting mazica to save the world. Middle school student Kezuru wakes up after a strange dream in which he sees himself as a wizard, a creature called "mazin" and a mysterious girl. The next day, his friend Kuracchi proudly displays the new Mazica Party card game. To Kezuru's shock, all the characters drawn in the game's cards are just like the ones in his dream.
Meanwhile, Kezuru receives a notification for an event at the large international company Mazica. Intrigued, Kezuru goes to the Mazica Store as directed, only to meet Mazica's CEO himself, Jeff Johns. Johns says, “I have high expectations for you” and hands Kezuru Mazica Gear.
On the way home, Kezuru is attacked by an airship-like creature. Just when he thinks "that's it!" to himself, his Mazica Gear explodes and a magical book appears. When he scratches a card, he seals a contract with Barunya, a "mazin" creature that is a strange remixed fusion of an airship and a cat.
The mysterious girl Anya says that Kezuru and those of her race will be "the true wizards who will save the world". Amid all these mysterious revelations, Kezuru enrolls in the Mazica Academy and engages in Mazica Party card battles alongside his partner Mazin.
