by Quirky Magical Girls: Only one week is left until the spring 2025 anime is broadcast. With over 60 titles scheduled for broadcast this season, many people are probably wondering what to watch.
Looking at the spring anime lineup, there seem to be many stories about “magic girls.” “Come to Magical Girl Village (Illegal Occupation)” The TV anime “Come to Magical Girl Village (Illegal Occupation)” is based on the absurd gag manga by Mr. Gingham and will be broadcast as a short anime with one minute per episode.
This work is a story about “Tomakomai (CV: Iwami Manaka),” a 43-year-old office worker who became a magical girl due to the power harassment of her president and her friends’ daily lives in Magical Girl Village.
The village is home to a variety of unique characters, including the overly energetic Nemuro (CV: Shiori Izawa) and the drunken village chief Haruko (CV: Sumire Uesaka), and the stories are full of things to comment on and sometimes even crazy. Many fans of the original work were surprised at the unexpected anime adaptation, and attention is focused on how the grotesque depictions will be portrayed. “Come to Magical Girl Village (Illegal Occupation)” will be broadcast on Kansai TV Broadcasting from 27:15 every Thursday from April 3rd.
“Witch Watch” The TV anime “Witch Watch” (original work: Kenta Shinohara), based on the manga of the same name, is one of the notable anime titles in spring 2025. It is currently being serialized in “Weekly Shonen Jump” (Shueisha) and has a total circulation of over 3 million copies.
The story’s protagonist is a high school boy, “Otogi Morihito” (CV: Ryota Suzuki), who is a descendant of demons. He begins living with his childhood friend, Wakatsuki Nico (CV: Kawaguchi Rina), as a familiar who aspires to become a witch who can help people. The story is about Morihito protecting Nico from an ominous prophecy that “disaster will occur within a year.” Nico’s magic is fun, such as making hair grow rapidly and making people gigantic.
The story is characterized by a comedy-filled style while including serious elements such as “disaster.” Other characters with various special abilities also appear. We can also expect powerful battle scenes between the unique characters. “Witch Watch” will be broadcast on the TBS network every Sunday from 5:00 p.m. on April 6th for two consecutive seasons.
“Until a Witch Dies” “Until a Witch Dies,” based on a light novel by Saka-sensei and currently being serialized in “Dengeki Comic Regulus” (KADOKAWA), will also be broadcast as a spring anime. On her 17th birthday, apprentice witch Meg Raspberry (CV: Yoshino Aoyama) was told that she only had one year left to live due to a curse. Meg sets out on a journey to collect the “tears of joy” of people, which is necessary to break the curse.
The title makes it seem like a slightly sad story, but judging from the PV, it has a relatively happy atmosphere. Don’t miss the first episode to see how they make people cry “tears of joy.” “Until a Witch Dies” will be broadcast every Tuesday from 24:30 on TOKYO MX, Sun TV, and others from April 1st. Strangely, there are three stories about girls who use magic in one season when there is usually only one story per season. It may be a coincidence, but there are many stories about girls who use magic to enjoy this spring.
