Witch Hat Atelier anime unveiled a welcome visual featuring the main characters, Coco and Qifrey. The anime was delayed to 2026. Studio BUG FILMS is animating.
Ayumu Watanabe is directing the anime based on a manga series by Kamome Shirahama. Kairi Unabara is doing character designs and Yuka Kitamura is composing the music. The anime was announced back in 2022.
We also had a chance to speak to Kamone Shirahama, Ayumu Watanabe and Hiroaki Kojima where asked about the inspiration for Witch Hat Atelier as well as about how the three envisioned different aspects of the anime series.
Kodansha USA has been serializing the manga in English since 2019, and they describe the plot as follows:
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…
