The upcoming Maebashi Witches anime film is scheduled to open in Japanese theaters on October 23, 2026. The movie will rework the original 12-episode television series into a feature-length presentation of approximately two hours, while adding new scenes and songs.
The theatrical version offers fans a new way to revisit the story, combining material from the television anime with additional content created for the film.
A Two-Hour Retelling of the Anime
Rather than simply screening the television episodes unchanged, the film condenses the series into a single cinematic experience. The shorter format brings the story together for viewers who want to revisit its key moments on the big screen.
The new scenes and songs are among the additions distinguishing the movie from the original broadcast.
Director and Writer Discuss the New Material
Director Junichi Yamamoto and series writer Erika Yoshida have discussed what audiences can expect from the film version, including how it differs from the television series.
Their comments offer a closer look at the creative decisions behind adapting an episodic anime into a theatrical release.
Japanese Release Date
Maebashi Witches: The Movie is set to arrive in Japanese cinemas on October 23, 2026. International theatrical and streaming details have not been confirmed in the announcement.
