ufotable adapting a TYPE-MOON property is a dream pairing because the studio's track record with Fate and Demon Slayer means Witch on the Holy Night is getting top-tier animation quality, exactly what TYPE-MOON fans have hoped for. The original voice cast reprising their roles is a huge win for continuity too, since keeping Haruka Tomatsu, Kana Hanazawa, and Yusuke Kobayashi preserves the chemistry that made the visual novel's adaptation work. The 1980s setting also gives this story a unique aesthetic identity because most TYPE-MOON works lean modern or fantastical, so leaning into late-80s atmosphere should give the film a distinct visual personality. And character visuals dropping ahead of the 2026 premiere builds steady hype because releasing the three leads at once gives fans concrete images to latch onto while the film's release window comes into focus.

The upcoming Witch on the Holy Night anime film, which adapts the TYPE-MOON visual novel of the same name, today unveiled a trio of character visuals and confirmed that Haruka Tomatsu, Kana Hanazawa and Yusuke Kobayashi will reprise their roles as Aoko Aozaki, Alice Kuonji and Sojuro Shizuki, respectively. Studio ufotable animates the film for a 2026 premiere.

About the Series

The Witch on the Holy Night anime film adapts the TYPE-MOON visual novel of the same name, with ufotable handling animation.

The Story

Studio Echo describes the story:

"In the mansion on the hill, there lived two witches...

It is the late 1980s—the twilight of an era of beauty and vigor.

A boy moves to the city, barely missing two witches living in modern times.

The boy leads a completely ordinary life.

She carries herself with gallant pride.

The girl lives a sleepy, hidden life.

Each walks a starlit path.

One would never expect their paths to cross.

The story of how these three disparate people came together is soon to be told."

Premiere Information

The Witch on the Holy Night anime film is scheduled to premiere in 2026.
