GKIDS and Shout! Studios are bringing one of anime’s most beloved new rom-com series home — Witch Watch Season One is now available on digital platforms and will be released in a 4-Disc Blu-ray™ set on July 14th with a selection of special features. The release gives North American fans their first chance to own the supernatural comedy that has enchanted audiences since its debut, along with a glimpse behind the scenes. This whip-smart series blends magical chaos, heartfelt romance, and unstoppable laughs into something genuinely irresistible, and Witch Watch Season One contains all 25 episodes.
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 based on the Weekly Shonen Jump manga by Kenta Shinohara (SKET Dance).
At its core, WITCH WATCH is a story about the anxiety of protecting someone you love in a world full of unpredictable forces beyond your control — a feeling that resonates far beyond the supernatural setting. For longtime manga fans who followed Nico and Morihito from the beginning, this home release is a celebration. For new audiences, it’s the perfect entry point into one of the freshest voices working in the shonen genre today.
