As the series hits the halfway mark of the season, Aniplex USA is bringing out a couple more of the chibi informational videos for the series The irregular at magic high school, which has new episodes coming out every Saturday on The Aniplex Channel, Hulu, Crunchyroll, and DAISUKI.

The series is directed by Ono Manabu with character designs by Ishida Kana. Animation is being done by Madhouse.
