At the Kadokawa x KLabGames booth at this year's AnimeJapan event, a TV anime adaptation of the multimedia idol project Lapis Re:LiGHTs: Kono Sekai no Idol wa Mahou ga Tsukaeru was announced to be in production. The series comprises of six idol units named "LiGHTs," "IV KLORE," "Konohana wa Otome.," "Sugar Pocket," "Sadistic★Candy," and "Supernova." The franchise, with the catchphrase "The 'idols' don't only sing, they use magic too. Do you believe in idols?" will be offered as a smartphone game, novel, manga, live events, and CD releases.

The manga will be serialized in ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Daioh magazine, and the novel will be published under Media Factory's MF Bunko J imprint. The cast of the game was also released, but it was not specified if they will reprise their roles for the anime.

Okay, even more game-based adaptions I guess?

I mean, I'm fine with these but I do think it needs to chill down basically. But alright then.

It's a mixed media franchise. There's no original source when the plan is to launch everything in a short period of time

I don't usually follow idol anime, but how can I say no to lots of cute girls? Added to my list.

This anime is flaming hot and has it all including lolis. I'm only concerned about the CG, this is full CG and while I have seen Aikatsu Stars and Idol Time Pripara which are also magical idol anime, only the performances have CG, this will look bad if the CG is screwed up unlike those two since it's all CG.
