- Stephen Fu (Morihito Otogi): “I’m really excited and honored to be joining the cast for some magical shenanigans on this fun show!”
- Caleb Yen (Kanshi Kazamatsuri): “I’m kind of obsessed with magic stuff so getting to be a part of the Witch Watch team is SO FREAKING FUN.”
- Kevin K Gomez (Keigo Magami): “I’m very excited to be a part of this show! It’s very fun, the characters are great, and zany hijinks will definitely ensue. There’s a bit of myself in Keigo for sure, and it’s been very funny for me personally to see how I overlap with this headphone wearing, snooty little film buff (I had just come from seeing a movie at an arthouse theater before auditioning for him). Can’t wait to watch this with you all and hope you watch these episodes as soon as they drop!”
- Cristina Vee (Nemu Miyao): “As a self-proclaimed witch and avid cat lover, I’m so excited to join the cast of Witch Watch as Nemu! I’m very excited to see where this new journey goes!“
- Kyle Hebert (Reiji Otogi): “I’ve always been happy to voice many anime dads through the years, but being an ogre is a first.”
Witch Watch adapts Kenta Shinohara’s (SKET Dance) popular manga of the same name, with over 3 million copies in circulation. Hiroshi Ikehata directs the series at Bibury Animation Studio (The Quintessential Quintuplets) and is joined by character designer Haruko Iizuka (Horimiya), with music from Yukari Hashimoto (A Sign of Affection).

Morihito Otogi, a high school student who comes from a lineage of ogres, enjoys a peaceful, ordinary life until his childhood friend, Nico, moves in with him. Nico is a witch-in-training, and chooses Morihito to be her familiar. While Nico is thrilled to reunite with her old friend and crush, Morihito is tasked with the perilous duty to protect her from a foretold calamity. Between the unpredictable chaos caused by Nico’s magic, and the awkwardness of sharing a home, their lives become a whirlwind of supernatural hijinks and threats.
