About UQ Holder!

Meet UQ Holder! (UQ Holder! ～魔法先生ネギま!2～), an action, fantasy and sci-fi anime by J.C.STAFF and EGG FIRM (2017). Here is the premise in a nutshell. What the story covers: In the decade since the realm became aware of the existence of magic, the realm has undergone massive upheaval. However, a boy named Touta lives in seclusion in a rural town far removed from these changes.

As things develop, his ordinary life is highlighted by his magic-using female teacher and his supportive allies. When his tranquil daily life is disrupted, he embarks on a unique adventure.

Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
