An anime television series adaptation produced by Zexcs aired in Japan from October 7, 2007 to March 23, 2008.

The main protagonist of the story is Astral's second president: Itsuki Iba, who, although he is young and inexperienced, ironically is not even a mage.

Central to the story are Astral's many adventures with magical spirits and creatures, competing with rival company Goetia, rogue members, taboos and the Dark Magician's Society: Ophion, all while trying to complete enough jobs to pay the bills and fill The Association's quota and evade abolition.

In Rental Magica, paranormal abilities and acts by "spell power" (呪力, juryoku) are defined as "magic".

(歩いていこう。) by Jungo Yoshida, and the second ending theme is the same song sung by Astral no Mina-san in episodes twelve and twenty-one.
