Blu-ray and Soundtrack Details for Witch Hat Atelier Anime Revealed
The much-awaited news is finally here for all the fans out there. The official team behind the TV anime Witch Hat Atelier (also known as Atelier of the Pointed Hat) has confirmed the release details for its Blu-ray volumes and the original soundtrack. This project, which is based on the phenomenal Witch Hat Atelier manga by the talented O Shirahama, has already been creating quite a buzz in the community. Along with the release dates, we have also got a first look at the jacket illustration for the very first Blu-ray volume, which has been specially drawn by Shirahama herself.
Broadcast Schedule and Blu-ray Release Timeline
The anime started its journey with broadcasting and distribution starting today, April 6th. For those who are planning to collect the physical copies, you should mark your calendars now. The first Blu-ray volume will be featuring all 13 episodes of the television anime and is set to launch on July 29th. Following that, the second volume is scheduled for a September 30th release. If you manage to get your hands on the first production limited edition, you will get to see Shirahama's beautiful original illustration right on the jacket cover.
But that is not all. The bonuses included in these sets are actually quite impressive. There is a special booklet that comes with a cover newly illustrated by Kairi Unabara, who is the character designer and chief animation director for the series. You will also find a foil-stamped postcard inside. Depending on where you buy it from, there are manufacturer-specific bonuses like a connectable acrylic stand featuring original art by O Shirahama. It is always better to check the official anime website to see all the details regarding specifications and benefits because there is really a lot to choose from.
Magical Music by Yuka Kitamura
For the music lovers, the original soundtrack is coming out as a 2-disc set on June 17th. This collection is going to have 45 tracks composed by the legendary Yuka Kitamura. If the name sounds familiar, it is because she has done the music for massive games like ELDEN RING and SEKIRO. Her involvement ensures that the Witch Hat Atelier anime will have an atmosphere that is just as magical and deep as the story itself.
