Crunchyroll has announced that it has acquired the second season of Witch Hat Atelier, the anime based on the manga by Kamome Shirahama. The new season is set to premiere exclusively on Crunchyroll worldwide, with the exception of Asia, and picks up where the first season left off.
Witch Hat Atelier is set in a world where only those born as witches can cast spells and where magic is kept a closely guarded secret. It follows Coco, a girl who is determined to become a witch. After a tragic accident while attempting forbidden magic, she is taken in by the witch Qifrey to learn the craft and to put right what she has done.
The new season is produced by BUG FILMS. The adaptation is directed by Ayumu Watanabe (Summer Time Rendering and Komi Can’t Communicate), with music composed by Yuka Kitamura (Elden Ring, Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice). Shun Shinohara (Heavenly Delusion, Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead) serves as Assistant Director, while Hiroshi Seko (DAN DA DAN, JUJUTSU KAISEN) is in charge of series composition.
Character design is handled by Kairi Unabara (SPY x FAMILY Season 3, The Heike Story), who also serves as Chief Animation Director. Ryota Goto (Suzume) is Art Director, Naomi Nakano (The Summer Hikaru Died, Solo Leveling) oversees colour design, and Tadashi Kitaoka (Love Live! Superstar!!, Burst Angel) serves as Director of Photography.
