Even with its local popularity, it took six years for The Irregular at Magic High School to get a second season. Fortunately, we won’t have to wait for that long this time around.
Between the adaptations for both seasons, Studio 8bit skipped the material of the eighth volume of the light novel for some reason. For those who were wondering if we will ever get that adapted, we have our answer now.
The official website for Mahouka has released a short promotional video for the upcoming The Irregular at Magic High School: Reminiscence Arc anime. The series will be released in winter 2021.

The visual shows Miyuki and Tatsuya standing quietly on a beach in Okinawa.
The Reminiscence arc of the series covers a flashback to a holiday that Miyuki and Tatsuya take with their mother and her bodyguard. This arc marks the shift in the relationship between the siblings who were as good as strangers before the incident that happens in the arc.
It is a bit weird that they decided to skip this arc during the second season and decided to adapt it later. This is due to the fact that this arc gives context to all the stuff with USNA that happens during the second season.
This will not be the first time when they adapted things out of order. The Irregular at Magic High School The Movie: The Girl Who Calls the Stars chronologically takes place after the second season’s events but was released three years before it.
Nevertheless, it’s not like we won’t watch the new series, or should it be considered a season?
About The Irregular at Magic High School
The Irregular at Magic High School is based on a web novel series by Tsutomu Sato, published on an internet web novel website between 2008 and 2011.
The series is set in a world with an alternate history, where magic exists and has been polished through modern technology. However, the ability to use magic is determined by genetics, limiting the number of magicians in existence.
The story follows Tatsuya Shiba, a bodyguard to his sister Miyuki Shiba who is also a candidate to succeed in the leadership of the Yotsuba clan, one of the Ten Master Clans that govern Japan’s magicians.
They enroll into First High School which segregates its students based on their magical abilities. Miyuki is enrolled as a first course student and is viewed as one of the best students, while Tatsuya is in the second course and considered to be magically inept.
