It has recently been confirmed that the upcoming anime series WITCH WATCH will simulcast stream on both Crunchyroll and Netflix in the UK from 6th April 2025. Confirmation of the streaming date on Crunchyroll was revealed in the Spring 2025 Streaming Line-Up, while on Netflix it was confirmed via a new product listing in the “new & popular” section of the application (as well as a new trailer).
As a reminder WITCH WATCH is an upcoming animated series adapted from the Weekly Shonen Jump manga by Kenta Shinohara, and it will begin simulcast streaming on both Crunchyroll and Netflix from 6th April 2025. Interestingly unlike previous simulcast shows, such as ONE PIECE and DRAGON BALL DAIMA, it seems new episodes of WITCH WATCH will be added to both platforms on the same day as opposed to Netflix receiving it a week later.
Synopsis: 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.
As it stands WITCH WATCH will simulcast stream on both Crunchyroll and Netflix in Japanese (with English subtitles) from 6th April 2025 with new episodes expected to be added weekly.
