Magical★Explorer soundtrack arrives November 25 with a towel bonus

The music of Magical★Explorer now has a release date. Aniplex has announced that the anime's original soundtrack will go on sale on November 25, 2026, a release that comes with a pretty appealing extra for collectors.

The disc is titled Magical★Explorer Original Soundtrack, and it will compile the music heard throughout the series. The company confirmed it on its official website along with the cover art, an illustration drawn for the occasion by studio WHITE FOX, which is in charge of the animation.

It's not the first time a studio has personally handled the art for a disc, but it's always a nice touch. Having WHITE FOX involved in this as well gives the product extra value, especially for those already following the series and looking to complete their collection.

A microfiber towel as a bonus

Along with the music, Aniplex has unveiled the microfiber towel that will be offered as a purchase bonus at participating stores. The design reproduces the cover illustration, so those who pre-order the disc will get a piece that matches the CD.

It's a common extra in anime releases in Japan, but no less appealing for it. Microfiber towels with original illustrations tend to sell out quickly, especially when the art is exclusive to the release and isn't reused for other products.

Aniplex has not yet detailed how many tracks the disc will include or which composer is behind the music. There's also been no word on an international edition, so for now the release is limited to the Japanese market with the usual purchase bonuses at physical and online stores in the country.

What is confirmed is the image of the three main characters smiling among cherry blossoms, an aesthetic that fits the tone of the series and serves as the album's introduction. The WHITE FOX illustration has, in fact, become the centerpiece of the announcement.

Magical★Explorer is one of those series that blends fantasy, magic, and comedy, with a protagonist who ends up transported to a world he knows all too well: that of a video game. From there, the story moves between absurd situations and battles, with studio WHITE FOX — the same one behind Re:Zero — leading the production.

For those who haven't seen it yet, the series is streaming on various platforms and continues to gain fans thanks to its light pacing and a cast of characters that works really well on screen. The soundtrack is an important part of that identity, so the disc announcement comes at a good time.

It remains to be seen whether Aniplex will later share the full track list or a video preview. With November 25 marked on the calendar, the next step will be finding out exactly what the album includes and whether there will be more exclusive bonuses at any specific retailer.
