Kodansha announced that Witch Hat Atelier will receive an anime adaptation at some point in the future. The announcement comes alongside a short video showcasing what the anime might look like. The studio and staff have not been announced. While details are scarce, more information is likely to appear via the series’ new website and official Twitter account.
Witch Hat Atelier follows Coco, a young girl who aspires to become a witch in a world where only certain people are allowed to practice and use magic. After a rogue spell turns her mother into stone, Coco sets off to become the apprentice of a wizard in order to reverse the spell.
It’s unclear when the anime will air or if it will receive a simultaneous English dub release. However, both the announcement tweet and teaser video announced the anime adaptation in English, likely for an international audience. In celebration of the announcement, creator Kamome Shirahama released an illustration featuring characters Coco, Agott, Richeh, and Tetia.
