Witch Hat Atelier Season 2 Confirmed

At 11:30 p.m. JST on June 29, 2026, avex pictures announced that production of Witch Hat Atelier season 2 has been decided. The news was posted on the official anime site and echoed in a PR Times release. To mark the announcement, the project also published a new end card drawn by the original manga creator, Kamome Shirahama, along with comments from Shirahama and director Ayumu Watanabe.

What Was Announced

The official news page says season 2 is now in production. It presents the announcement as a direct follow-up to the ongoing TV anime and pairs it with new material from the creative team. The same release adds that Shirahama provided a newly drawn end card and that both Shirahama and Watanabe shared comments to celebrate the decision.

The PR Times release gives the same core message and adds a concrete timeline for the home-video rollout. Blu-ray volume 1 is scheduled for July 29, 2026, and volume 2 is scheduled for September 30, 2026. Both volumes will use new jacket illustrations by Shirahama, which makes the release news part of the visual identity of the series rather than just a logistical update.

Why It Matters

For an anime adaptation, a season 2 confirmation is more than a polite follow-up. It means the production team is not treating the project as a one-and-done television run. Fans who started season 1 in spring 2026 now have a clear signal that the animated version will continue beyond the current broadcast cycle.

That matters in particular for a fantasy title like Witch Hat Atelier, whose source manga depends on careful visual detail, magic rules, and a broad world setting. The official materials describe the manga as a fantasy comic that has surpassed 9 million copies in circulation, so the adaptation already has enough readership to justify a continuing anime presence. The new season does not come with a release window yet, but the decision itself shows that the franchise has momentum.

Context for International Fans

The official on-air page shows that the first TV anime season began on April 6, 2026, at 11:00 p.m. JST on TOKYO MX, with additional broadcasters and streaming services listed there as part of the rollout. For readers outside Japan, that is useful context: this is not a title that arrived as a hidden domestic experiment. It was launched with a distribution plan that already reached beyond a single channel.

If you know the manga under its English title, Witch Hat Atelier, the new season 2 decision is the key practical takeaway. The anime will keep going, even though the announcement does not yet specify when the next season will air or how it will be formatted.

What Happens Next

No season 2 broadcast window, staff update, or teaser schedule was announced in this release. The next concrete milestones are the two Blu-ray volumes in July and September 2026, followed by whatever production news the official site publishes afterward.

For now, the official anime site and the PR Times release are the safest places to watch for the next confirmed update.

Image
On June 20, 2026, the official Rilakkuma anime website and a San-X press release introduced a new key visual and a second promotional video for the series. The update also gave the project its latest story title, Tekuteku Sekai Ryokou , while keeping the show in its current TV and streaming rollout. What Was Announced The announcement is straightforward but important: Rilakkuma now has a second PV and a new key visual tied to the Tekuteku Sekai Ryokou story line. The release frames this chapter as a gentle travel-themed continuation of the anime rather than a hard reset, which fits the character brand well.

Magical Sisters Lulutto Lily Confirms a Second Cour for October

Image
On June 21, 2026, the official site for Magical Sisters Lulutto Lily confirmed that the anime’s second cour will begin in October 2026. The same day, the site also introduced a new character, Asahi, voiced by Kyori Nemoto. A follow-up report on V-STORAGE repeated the announcement and added context about where the series sits inside Pierrot’s long-running magical-girl tradition. What Was Announced The official news page says Episode 12, “Song...” closed the first cour on June 21 and that the second cour is scheduled for October 2026.

The companion character announcement introduces Asahi, an idol fan who joins the cast after following Lulutto Lily’s live performance and audition path. It is a small update on paper, but it gives the next p...

On June 19, 2026, Bandai Namco Experience announced that the Blue Lock chibigurumi tied to the Namjatown collaboration will return as a limited prize line on June 26, 2026. The release is not a brand-new design drop. Instead, it brings back the cat-ear Chinese-style outfit art that was created for the Ikebukuro Namjatown event held from April to June 2025, and it makes that visual set available again through Namco locations and the official online crane route. What Was Announced The lineup is straightforward: five characters, each in the special collaboration outfit. The announced set includes Yoichi Isagi, Seishiro Nagi, Reo Mikage, Rin Itoshi, and Yo Hiori. According to the press release, the figures are about 11 cm tall. The company also notes that Blue Lock had passed 60 million copies worldwide as of June 2026, which explains why even a small-format prize revival can still attract attention. The key practical detail for collectors is that the item is framed as a prize releas...
