The first key visual for the animated film "Mahoutsukai no Yoru" (Witch on the Holy Night), based on the visual novel game by TYPE-MOON, the game brand known for the "Fate" series, was released on March 21st. The visual depicts the protagonist, Aozaki Aoko, with a sharp gaze emanating from the center of a giant magic circle. The tagline, "A modern-day witch. But she's an apprentice," is included, expressing the worldview of the film where the ordinary and the extraordinary intersect. A video announcing the first key visual was also released on YouTube.
The anime will be produced by ufotable, the studio behind "Fate/stay night [Heaven's Feel]" and "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba." It is scheduled for release in 2026.
"Mahoutsukai no Yoru" (Witch on the Holy Night) is a game released on April 12, 2012. The scenario was written by Kinoko Nasu, known for "Kara no Kyoukai" (The Garden of Sinners) and the "Fate" series, and the graphics were handled by Hirokazu Koyama. The game originates from an unpublished novel written by Nasu before the release of "Tsukihime," and is set in the late 1980s. Shizuki Soujurou, a high school student who has come to the city from the countryside, meets Aozaki Aoko, an apprentice witch, and Kuonji Alice, a witch from England, and the three end up living together in an old Western-style mansion.
