(The following was translated/sent to me by Tarra Nakatsu from the July issue of Animage's feature on the MTT! TV anime. Yes, that means this is quite old. But hey, I said nostalgia didn't I?)

Airs July 7th at 7PM on WOWOW Non-scrambled. (C)Triangle Staff and Bandai Visual pg 16 Mahoutai Checkpoint The new characters making their TV entrance! Miyama Mizuha - The biggest change from the OAV is Mizuha. "She's had a change in mental state, she's become much cuter. She's found a new kind of charm (for me)" (by Sato) "Should there be a girl this adorable?" (by Itoh) Aikawa Akane - This verson of Akane is a Teenz magazine model. She changed her hairdo for the article she's in. To the left of her, a male model for the same magazine. Possibly Akane's boyfriend? Nakatomi Naoko - An original 'Ladies' and Nanaka's mother. A natural foods store manager. "'You'll get to like her', she has a 'my pace' style, but Nanaka doesn't like the 'just existing' kind of mood. They're a little opposite each other (smile)" (by Sato) Takakura Takako - Takakura's younger sister. "She should of appeared in the OAV" both Sato-san and Ikoh-san exclaimed. "Sato-san never had a little sister, so Takakura should at least have one!" is Ikoh theory! ***note about the names - you can see that they're keeping with the 'same letter' pattern from the OAV. 'TAkakura TAkeo, SAwanoguchi SAe, NAkatomi NAnaka, ect...*** Nakatomi Naoki - Nanaka's younger brother, Naoki. A very active young boy. "Nanaka and him are different, Naoki is really not like his mom at all." (by Sato) And so, both Nanaka and him get along well with their father. Aburatsubo Akiko - Aburatsubo's mom is a business activity designer. She used to be an actress with Nanaka's mom and that's how they met. "This is Abutratsubo's Mom! Her clothes are incredible, so since her clothes are sexy, she must be perverted too (smile)" (by Sato) Mikote Michiko & Hisaka Hikari & Masuko Madoka (The Aburatsubo Safety and Preservation Club Members) - Aburatsubo's defense force. "They're partners in keeping him safe, but actually just want him to be their boyfriend." (by Sato). "They're so strong!" (by Itoh)

Next on the list, is the second part of the Animage 'Mahoutsukai Tai!'
special.
I was kinda disapointed with it. I figured that they'd have a lot more
pictures and less interviews, but I guess they wanted illustrations
rather than screen captures. The article is two pages long, most of it
being a much drawn out interview with Itoh Kikuko (producer/character
designer) and Onosaka Masaya (Takeo's VA). On the up side tho, the
magazine came with a Mahoutsukai Tai fan blade (no handle tho -.-) with
cute pictures by Sato Junichi (the other producer). No wonder they
pushed the thing to the back!
