Tokyo Majin, known in Japan as Tokyo Demon Academy: The Book of Weapons – The Ascension (東京魔人學園剣風帖龖, Tōkyō Majin Gakuen: Kenpuchō Tō), is a Japanese anime series, which premiered in Japan on the anime satellite TV network Animax. Part of the Tokyo Majin Gakuen franchise, it is loosely based on a Japan-exclusive video game series. On June 26, 2007, ADV Films announced that it had acquired the license to the anime.) ADV distributed the series under the title of Tokyo Majin, dropping "Gakuen: Kenpuchō Tō" from the title.
