I’m eagerly anticipating the official debut of the anime adaptation for “Witch Watch,” one of the highly-awaited series from Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, slated for later this year. Recently, the voice cast for the show has been growing with some exciting new additions before its premiere.

Given the series’ abundance of peculiar and quirky characters, there’s plenty to keep an eye on as we approach its release date.

Later this Spring, Witch Watch is set to debut, and fresh news from the anime has disclosed some additional voices to enrich the cast. As anticipated, these new faces bring a host of eccentric characters that are typical of Nico and Morihito’s school. The latest additions include Miyuki Sawashiro voicing Ibara Ibu, Jun Fukuyama as Yuzuru Kenmochi, Rie Kugimiya as Syrup, Misaki Kuno as Kuromitsu, Noriko Hidaka as Riro Takumi, Kenta Miyake as Burst, Jun Fukushima as Kyoki Saiko, and Hikaru Midorikawa as Daiki Sakai Mk.II.

First conceived by Kenta Shinohara for the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 2021, the series known as Witch Watch introduces readers to Morihito Otogi, an ogre tasked with protecting his childhood friend Nico Wakatsuki, who is growing into a full witch. Each week brings new doses of zany antics. The upcoming anime aims to bring all this humor to life, set to run for two consecutive cours during its inaugural season. Hiroshi Ikehata will direct the new anime alongside Masao Kawase at Bibury Animation Studio. Deko Akao is responsible for writing the scripts, Haruko Iizuka handles character designs, Mutsumi Takemiya edits the anime, and Yukari Hashimoto composes the music.
