As Anime Expo 2024 kicks off, there’s plenty of big news already with the reveal of an anime series for Witch Hat Atelier.
There was big news at Anime Expo 2024 earlier today as it was revealed that the hit manga series Witch Hat Atelier is receiving an anime adaptation that will air on Crunchyroll in 2025. Not only that, the series is being scored by Yuka Kitamura, who also provided the music for Elden Ring and Bloodborne, among many other titles.
The first official trailer can be seen below:
For those not familiar with Witch Hat Atelier, the original manga series is described as follows:
A beautifully-illustrated story about a girl who longs for magic in her life and learns that, on the inside, she already is what she wishes she could be. Reminiscent of Studio Ghibli, this lushly drawn story was voted one of the Top 10 manga of the year in 2018 by the Japanese manga industry. 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 …
