Magical Girl Raising Project Restart is airing on TV Tokyo late nights at 2:00 a.m., with AT-X and BS Fuji runs two days later, and streaming overseas on OceanVeil.
The sequel anime Magical Girl Raising Project Restart is the throughline across three stories, and the first thing settled is its format and placement. It debuts on October 5, airing on TV Tokyo late at night at 2:00 a.m., effectively October 6, with AT-X and BS Fuji runs on October 7. WWWave Corporation's OceanVeil platform began carrying it on Monday, the same day as the TV Tokyo broadcast.
The production carries a mix of continuity and change. Hiroyuki Hashimoto returns as director and Takao Yoshioka writes the script, both carried over from the 2016 original, but Synergy SP handles animation in place of Lerche. Nao Toyama returns as Snow White. The overseas streaming rights sit with OceanVeil, which Crunchyroll had held for the 2016 series, a small shift in where the franchise's audience outside Japan finds it.
The premiere itself follows Pechka, a magical girl whose power is cooking, who spends her days helping her neighborhood before she is abducted into a digital world. Sixteen girls are taken there by the World of Magic, the arbiters of who receives magic. The episode pairs light magical-girl comedy with the setup for a fight for survival, and includes a visibly disabled magical girl among the cast. The review reads the premiere as another entry in a death game wave built on teenage girls, a sign of what the genre currently sells rather than a one-off.

The first three episodes of Magical Girl Raising Project Restart bring 16 magical girls into a virtual world built like a classic JRPG for a death game they do not initially know is one. The premiere run follows three of them: Magical Daisy, a famous veteran who dies first through her own ego; Pechka, who uses her powers for a crush and finds value in magical cooking; and Shadow Gale, raised to serve the brilliant, manipulative Pfle. The arc closes with the reveal that death in the game is real, plus an unexplained killing: Masked Wonder is murdered by a blow to the head.
