Anime studio SHAFT is developing MAGICAL SUITE PRISM NANA THE ANIMATION as an OVA with seven planned episodes using a "star system," in which different directors and writers and animators are given a great degree of freedom. A Tanabata holiday update to project site has continued to tease OVA 3 "Halloween in the Land of Medal ~Noriko and Fairy~", along with plans for 04, events and goods, published with tweaks to the site design and commemorative art by the studio's Kazuya Shiotsuki (Gourmet Girl Graffiti).





Shiotsuki art inspired by the theme "starry sky connection"

Cast includes Eri Kitamura as Kotone Oribe/Aqua Nana, Suzuko Mimori as Itaru Washioka/Heat Nana, Asami Imai as Asuka Asagi/Earth Nana and the newly announced Chika Anzai as Mako Hiragi/Eleki Nana. Daisy × Daisy performs the theme.





Before this OVA, the project started with a series of seven music video pilots. ONE of these, the beach one, managed to get booted from YouTube for being a bit too much. Appropriate to the season, it's back in a toned down form.
