The episodes of Night Wizard: The Animation, the 2007 Japanese animated television series, are directed by Yusuke Yamamoto and produced by Hal Film Maker and Omnibus Promotion, which produced the animation and sound respectively.[1] They are based on the Night Wizard! role-playing game released by Enterbrain in 2002, and adapt the source material over thirteen episodes. The plot of the episodes follows Renji Hiiragi, a magic user known as a "Night Wizard" that protects the world against demonic beings called Emulators, as he protects newly ordained Night Wizard Elis Shihō on their quest to find the Jewels of Virtue.
The episodes aired from October 2, 2007 to December 25, 2007 on Chiba TV, Tokyo MX TV, and TV Aichi.[2] TV Osaka and TV Saitama broadcast the episodes later in October, and Kids Station started airing the episodes in November.[2]
Two pieces of theme music are used for the episodes; one opening theme and one closing theme. The opening theme is "Kurenai" by Ui Miyazaki, and the closing theme is by BETTA FLASH. A single for "Kurenai" was released on November 21, 2007, and a single for "Erinyes" was released on the same date.[3] [4]
