The previously announced Witch Hat Atelier anime announced the delay of its supposed broadcast from 2025 to 2026. In X (formerly Twitter), the staff of the series posted:
＜Notice of Broadcast Schedule Change＞
The TV anime “Witch Hat Atelier” will have its broadcast schedule changed from 2025 to 2026 in order to deliver the series with the highest possible quality and to fully showcase its charm. We sincerely apologize to everyone who has been looking forward to the broadcast.
Our staff is working with the utmost dedication and care on the production. Further updates will be announced via the official team as soon as they are decided. We kindly ask for your patience and understanding.
Based on the manga series by Kamome Shirahama, the anime adaptation is directed by Ayumu Watanabe at studio BUG FILMS while the character designs are done by Kairi Unabara and the music is composed by Yuka Kitamura. The anime was announced back in 2022.
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…
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.
