The first season of Witch Hat Atelier ended
and the second season is already confirmed. The production team of the anime
based on Kamome Shirahama's manga announced the continuation
along with Crunchyroll, which will broadcast the new installment.
The announcement came with a special endcard illustration to mark the occasion,
as the team revealed the musical themes that will define the second season.
The opening is called "Kaze no
Anthem feat. suis from yorushika" (Hymn of the Wind) and is
performed by Eve together with suis de yorushika,
a combination that has all the potential to become one of the most talked about
songs of the year. The endings are in charge of Nakamura Hak, with
three songs: "Tada Utsukushii no Noroi" (Only A
Beautiful Curse), "Yoru ni Ukabu" (Floating in the
Night) and "Hikari" (Light)
The central team of the first season returns
almost intact. Ayumu Watanabe returns as director at BUG
FILMS, Kairi Unabara continues as character designer and
chief animation director, and Yuka Kitamura composes the music
for the new season. Also returning are assistant director Jun Shinohara,
script supervisor Hiroshi Seko and art director Ryota
Goto, among others.
