✨ Midspell Academy

Please Don’t Explode the Homework Again

🎞️ Format & Vibe

12-episode anime comedy series
Genre: Magical absurdism + school parody + high-energy chaos
Mood: Whimsical, ridiculous, strangely touching

🌍 Setting

Midspell Academy is the magical school no one applies to—but everyone ends up at by mistake.
The teachers are banned from casting spells. The janitor is a former god.
The bell sometimes screams.
And the rules? Written on enchanted parchment that bursts into frogs if you cheat.

💡 Premise

Haru Ichinomori was supposed to attend regular cram school.
But thanks to a glitch in the realm of registration (and a very persuasive owl), he’s enrolled at Midspell.
His wand is defective. His shoes float during tests.
And his new friends?
– A girl who summons snacks instead of spells
– A broom that thinks it’s a philosopher
– And a principal who’s been trapped in a locker for 30 years
Haru just wants to pass one class without dimension-hopping by accident. But Midspell has other plans.

📖 Episode Breakdown

Episodes 1–6: “Welcome to the Misfire Zone”

• Ep 1: Haru receives his cursed desk. It only writes in reverse Latin. It also bites.
• Ep 3: Gym class becomes a monster summoning course. Haru’s summon? A weeping cactus named Philip.
• Ep 6: School spirit week accidentally revives the original school spirit… who demands a talent show.

Episodes 7–12: “Finals, Frogs, and Forbidden Snacks”

• A forgotten vending machine awakens and begins consuming students who fail pop quizzes.
• Mika invents the Infinite Pudding Spell. Chaos ensues. It reaches the nurse’s office.
• The final exam is one question: “What is normal?” Haru answers honestly. Reality implodes… gently.

🎭 Main Characters

• Haru Ichinomori – Our painfully normal protagonist, who slowly becomes the least normal person in the school.
• Mika Kotabe – Chaos incarnate. Summons candy. Owns no textbooks. Surprisingly powerful.
• Professor Wibble – A talking cup of tea. Possibly immortal. Definitely unlicensed.
• The Hall Pass Phantom – A student who never graduated and now haunts the third floor with riddles and snacks.

🎨 Visuals & Music

• Color Palette: Potion blue, chalkboard black, spell-glow gold, frog green

🌿 Closing Reflection

Midspell Academy is a love letter to the weird kids,
the magic of being misunderstood,
and the truth that sometimes, the most powerful spell…
is simply showing up as your ridiculous, chaotic self.
