Witch Hat Atelier Anime Confirms Season 2 Production

The TV anime adaptation of Kamome Shirahama's manga Witch Hat Atelier will continue with a second season. The announcement was made following the broadcast of the first season's 13th and final episode on June 29.

Shirahama created a new illustration of the main Atelier members for the announcement. The original creator and series director Ayumu Watanabe provided comments on the renewal.

"The magic show created by the wonderful production team is not over yet," Shirahama wrote. "They will show us the continuation with the highest quality." She added that while viewers may have been surprised by the first season's conclusion, "as the original author, I guarantee it's worth the wait."
