A new original anime series was announced in September 2024 with Maebashi Witches from Sunrise. Set for an April 2025 premiere, it comes from director Junichi Yamamoto from the scripts by Erika Yoshida. Nozomi Tachibana is handling the character designs based on Inami Yu’s original work with Bandai Namco Filmworks on the animation production.
With an April 6th, 2025, premiere date for the project through Tokyo MX set, Crunchyroll made its pickup of the show for simulcast. While the show ended a year ago, the series is currently having a rebroadcast, and we learned in March 2026 that a compilation film is in the works. That film is now set for a fall 2026 release with more details to come, but it did reveal the title of Maebashi Witches Emoemories: Blooming Witches, along with a new visual.

Plot Concept: Set in Maebashi city in Gunma Prefecture, it’s about the coming-of-age story of five high school girls. First-year high school student Yuina Akagi lives an ordinary but unsatisfying everyday life. One day, a mysterious frog named Keroppe scouts her and four other girls to become the “Maebashi Witches.” Suddenly, a room closet is connected to a mysterious space that brings the girls to a magical flower shop where they sing, dance, and make other people’s wishes come true.
