‘Witch On The Holy Night’ Trailer & Release Date; Crunchyroll Acquires Anime Pic

A witch-meets-boy tale is brewing early next year. Crunchyroll has acquired anime feature Witch on the Holy Night and set it for a January 29 release in North American theaters. Watch the trailer above, and check out the poster below.

Based on the 2012 visual novel by Kinoko Nasu and developed by Type-Moon (the Fate franchise), the pic follows Aoko Aozaki, an ordinary high school girl who actually is a magician lives in the modern world, though she is still only an apprentice. As she spends her days living alongside her housemate, Alice Kuonji, striving to become a full-fledged Magician, Aoko meets a boy. It’s the beginning of one young girl’s story — the tale of a witch.

Distributed by Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment, Witch on the Holy Night will be available in both Japanese with English subtitles as well as dubbed in English. The pic is animated by ufotable, the toon production house behind last year’s theatrical smash Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle I, which grossed an astounding $793.6 million worldwide.
