Witch Watch Anime Reveals Staff, Voice Cast

As a seasoned gamer and manga enthusiast with over two decades under my belt, I can’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation upon learning about the upcoming anime adaptation of “Witch Watch.” Having grown up with the Shonen Jump series, I remember eagerly awaiting each new chapter in those weekly issues, and now, to see one more from that era stepping into the animated realm is truly heartening.


Starting in the coming year, “Witch Watch” will spearhead the upcoming wave of Shonen Jump anime adaptations. The team and voice actors behind this anime have been unveiled. Kenta Shinohara’s “Witch Watch” manga series has been published in Shueisha’s “Weekly Shonen Jump” magazine since 2021, with some of its contemporaries from the same era already debuting their anime adaptations this year. However, this wave of new anime isn’t slowing down anytime soon, as Kenta Shinohara’s manga is set to air an anime adaptation at some point in the next year.

According to recent speculations, the animated series “Witch Watch” has confirmed its release in 2025. The initial voice actors for the show include Ryota Suzuki as Morihito Otogi, Rina Kawaguchi as Nico Wakatsuki, Tomori Kusunoki as Nemu Miyao, Kohei Amasaki as Kanshi Kazamatsuri, and Kaito Ishikawa as Magami Keigo. These five characters are central to the series’ initial humorous escapades and will be our primary focus throughout the show when “Witch Watch” officially begins its anime run in Spring 2025. You can revisit the announcement trailer for a reminder below.

What Is Witch Watch?

The show titled “Witch Watch” is set to premiere around April next year, as part of the Spring 2025 anime lineup. Hiroshi Ikehata and Masao Kawase are slated to direct the series, with Bibury Animation Studio taking on production duties. Deko Akao will pen the scripts, Haruko Iizuka will design the characters, Mutsumi Takemiya will edit the anime, and Yukari Hashimoto will compose the music.

If you wanted to check out Kenta Shinohara’s original Witch Watch manga before the new anime releases, you can find the latest chapters of the series for free (with the rest of the catalog with a paid subscription) with both Viz Media’s digital Shonen Jump library or Shueisha’s MangaPlus service. They tease the manga as such, “Morihito, a boy with the strength of an ogre, is about to start living together with his childhood friend Niko, who is training to be a witch. NIko’s magic leads to all sorts of unpredictable trouble, and with two teens under one roof… Let the fantastical antics begin!
