A Comeback After Almost Three Decades
Magic Knight Rayearth, which was first serialized in Nakayoshi magazine between 1993 and 1995, swiftly rose to prominence as one of CLAMP’s most recognizable works. In 1994, it was first adapted into anime. A second season and multiple OVAs were then produced. After nearly thirty years, the enchanted trio will now make a comeback in a contemporary reimagining that will air on TV Asahi and its affiliated networks in Japan.
The three heroines are shown in front of Tokyo Tower in the recently unveiled key visual, which is a sentimental homage to a special scene from the first anime. The visual’s updated aesthetic, which strikes a balance between contemporary animation methods and the fantasy charm of the 1990s, suggests a faithful but updated look for the series.
