GKIDS is bringing Witch Watch: Watch Party to Canadian theatres this month. The release is a three-episode preview of the upcoming Witch Watch television anime series with exclusive interviews. Adapted from Kenta Shinohara’s ongoing Weekly Shonen Jump manga of the same name, the show will debut internationally on Crunchyroll and Netflix beginning April 6th.
Witch Watch is being directed by Hiroshi Ikehata at Bibury Animation Studio. Deko Akao is credited with the series composition. Yukari Hashimoto composed the score.
Morihito Otogi, a high school student who comes from a lineage of ogres, enjoys a peaceful, ordinary life until his childhood friend, Nico, moves in with him. Nico is a witch-in-training, and chooses Morihito to be her familiar. While Nico is thrilled to reunite with her old friend and crush, Morihito is tasked with the perilous duty to protect her from a foretold calamity. Between the unpredictable chaos caused by Nico’s magic, and the awkwardness of sharing a home, their lives become a whirlwind of supernatural hijinks and threats. Puppy love meets magical mischief and danger in Witch Watch, the endlessly charming and riotously funny new anime series.
The film will open on March 16th. It will be screened in Japanese with English subtitles. To purchase tickets, click here: Cineplex / Landmark.
