The upcoming The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become the Strongest TV anime has received its first main trailer, along with a key visual and the reveal of its October 4 JST premiere.
There are also two new cast announcements: Hikaru Midorikawa as the magician Eldas and Atsushi Abe as the prince Regulus.
The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become the Strongest is based on the Kodansha-published light novel series written by Alto and illustrated by Yunagi. K Manga describes the manga adaptation by Yuki Monji as:
“I don’t need a worthless mage who can only use support magic. You’re fired.” Alec, a court magician who supported the crown prince from behind the scenes, suddenly finds himself exiled from the royal court. Now jobless, he pays the magic academy a visit and runs into Yorha, one of his party members from his school days. Their renowned party once set a record in the royal dungeon—and now it’s time to reunite and start a whole new legend!
The light novels are published under the K Ranove Books label and have five volumes as of August 2024. The original web novel started in 2020.
