The wraparound jacket of the light novel Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku ACES, which will go on sale on September 10, has announced that an anime adaptation of the series has been confirmed.

ACES is the eighth volume in the Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku series, written by Asari Endou and illustrated by Maruino. The light novels have been published since 2012, and a manga adaptation began serialization in the November 2014 issue of Comp Ace. A drama CD was released with a fan guide book in February.

Synopsis
The highly popular social network game "Magical Girl Raising Project" is a miraculous game that produces real Magical Girls with a chance of 1 in 10000 for each person. Girls who are lucky enough to gain the power of magic spend fulfilling days. But one day, the administration arbitrarily announces that "There are too many magical girls so they will be halved." The curtain will now be raised on the relentless and merciless survival game between 16 magical girls. (Source: Baka-Tsuki)

Based on the novel genres, this is the kind of magical girl anime I would enjoy.

Genres: Action, Fantasy, Supernatural, Thriller

I do hope that the anime focuses more on the survival game part. I hope it won't turn out like Gakkou Gurashi anime where the focus is more on moe & fanservice instead of zombie apocalypse.

If you want to see Death Game done right then try reading Battle Royale manga.
Mirai Nikki is Battle Royale ripped-off but with more shitty characters.
Do you play Azure Lane?

Madoka is the reason why this kind of sad mahou shoujo stories getting written/popular so mentioning it is obligatory

Sounds pretty fun... except for the overwhelming chances of being yet another poor rendition of Madoka like Yuuki Yuuna or Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou

Ah well, fingers crossed. Could end up more like Akuma no Riddle except with magical girls instead too, we'll see

How dark and gory is this compared to Mahou Shoujo of the End? Would honestly rather get an adaption of that instead.

Eww, another grimderp mahou shoujo, and a survival game to boot.
I would have wanted a season 2 of Vividred Operation. At least it knows what it wants to be, and isn't trying to be different than these dark magical girl stories that bank on the suffering of cute girls, which are a guaranteed sensation.

Edgy Magical Girls
Death Game.

So original. Its like the authors were trying real hard to create the most generic edgelord-baiting thing. All they needed to add more would be some generic gangsters and some smoking.

Well, MAL will love it.

Ill check out the first episode but it will most likely be shit.

Don't worry. This title is sure to be better than Mirai Nikki since it replaces all characters with lolis.

Dismissing complaints about the unnecessary edge is simply wrong.

This shouldn't be a trend, because no show will be able to do Madoka a second time.

The magical girl tag seems arbitrary and this is going to be one bad show.

Being better than Mirai Nikki is not that hard to accomplish.

Another translation stated that the reason for the culling is because of "a lack of supply of magical energy".

SO WHY THE HECK DO THEY PRODUCE SUCH A GAME THAT MASS-PRODUCES MAGICAL GIRLS IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Christ, was this game developed by Kayaba or something?

Madoka is only series that got it right, the others turned out to be below average.

Don't know if this will turn out good or bad, but, we need more anime like this (and Madoka) than all the harem and ecchi-filled light novel adaptations that are mediocre at best. Even if Madoka will never get a second season this one might be close.

This darking up of the magical girl genre is pretty damn lame stuff. Probably another cheap attempt to try to cash in on a dying craze that will end up like Genei and get more attention than it warrants in its own right.
