Witch Hat Atelier confirmed an April 6, 2026 anime premiere and dropped a new trailer and visual, with Crunchyroll set to simulcast.

TL;DR

We finally have a real date: April 6, 2026, plus a fresh trailer. Crunchyroll says it’s simulcasting, and the early reaction is already screaming “prestige fantasy.”

Key Details

• Premiere date: April 6, 2026 (per Crunchyroll)
• New media: Trailer + new visual released alongside the date
• Streaming: Crunchyroll says it will simulcast the series
• What’s still missing: Episode count/cour details and broader licensing/dub timing specifics

Breakdown

This one has been sitting in the “when is it actually happening?” bucket for a long time, which is why a firm date hits differently. Crunchyroll putting April 6, 2026 on the calendar turns the hype into a schedule.

The trailer is also doing what great first looks do: it sells ambition. The early chatter and coverage tone point to high expectations — the “anime of the year vibes” talk is already out there, and we’re still pre-premiere.

Crunchyroll’s simulcast note is the practical win here. For most fans, “where can I watch it?” is the first question, and this answers it (at least for Crunchyroll’s announced plan). The remaining details — episode count, cour structure, and dub rollout — usually come later, but those pieces matter for pacing expectations and how long the season will dominate the conversation.

Bottom line: April 6 is now the line in the sand. The clock is officially on.

What to Watch Next

• Episode count and cour confirmation (single cour vs split cour)
• Dub announcement timing and languages (if/when Crunchyroll adds details)
• Additional staff/production updates as the premiere gets closer

Comment:

Is this an instant “watch weekly,” or are you waiting to binge once the cour ends?
