The spell is officially cast.
A brand-new main trailer and visual were released on Thursday for the Witch Hat Atelier anime adaptation, revealing that it’ll be coming to Crunchyroll on April 6, 2026, outside of Asia.
This high fantasy series, based on Kamome Shirahama’s popular manga series, takes us to a world where magic exists, but only witches are permitted to use it. The trailer expands on the world of magic surrounding young apprentice Coco and her enigmatic mentor, Qifrey, and introduces a slew of brand-new characters and their voice cast.
New Cast and Characters
The trailer gives us a glimpse of the brand-new main characters we’ll meet, who will also be apprentices to Qifrey, just like Coco. The brand-new cast members are:

The main cast consists of Rena Motomura as Coco and Natsuki Hanae as Qifrey. New character visuals were also released as part of the trailer, showing us more of Agott, Tetia, Richeh, and Olruggio, who could be the witches that Coco would be learning from as she apprentices under Qifrey.
Opening and Ending Themes Preview
The trailer also gives us a sneak peek at the anime’s opening and ending songs.
Opening theme: “Kaze no Ansemu feat. suis from Yorushika,” Eve (TOY’S FACTORY).
Ending theme: “Tada Utsukushii Noroi,” Nakamura Hak.
The soundtrack reflects the duality of wonder and sorrow that the story embodies, as the narrative is grounded in both despair and hope.
A World of Secret Magic and Unyielding Hope
According to the official manga summary from Kodansha: “In a world where witches use their magic to protect the world from despair, Coco, a girl who dreams of becoming a witch, discovers the ‘absolute secret’ about magic when Qifrey comes to visit her village. Learning the truth about spellcasting, Coco decides to become Qifrey’s apprentice and begin her magical training.”
The story revolves around children who face despair but continue to aspire for hope.
