So out of all of these, which one has been your favorite? And do you look forward to what’s coming for 2026? ✨
Of what I've seen, "Witch Watch" was my surprise favorite. It consistently made me laugh and I thought it had a lot of heart with it too. And had a unique witch/magic system - I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Looking the most forward to Witch Hat Atelier's anime adaptation and Magical Sisters Lulutto Lily
