An anime adaptation was announced for Kamome Shirahama’s Witch Hat Atelier manga back in April 2022, and now we know to expect it in 2025. A panel at Anime Expo 2024 brought with it the first trailer and key visual for the anime, which is in the works at BUG FILMS with Ayumu Watanabe (Space Brothers) directing, Kairi Unabara designing characters and Yuka Kitamura composing music.
Check out the new trailer while we wait for a more concrete Witch Hat Atelier release date.
The Witch Hat Atelier anime will stream on Crunchyroll as it airs in Japan.
Here’s how Kodansha Comics describes the manga, which kicked off back in 2016 and is still running:
In a world where everyone takes wonders like magic spells and dragons for granted, Coco is a girl with a simple dream: She wants to be a witch. But everybody knows magicians are born, not made, and Coco was not born with a gift for magic.
Resigned to her un-magical life, Coco is about to give up on her dream to become a witch…until the day she meets Qifrey, a mysterious, traveling magician. After secretly seeing Qifrey perform magic in a way she’s never seen before, Coco soon learns what everybody “knows” might not be the truth, and discovers that her magical dream may not be as far away as it may seem…
And here’s our very positive review!
