Release That Witch (Fangkai Nage Nüwu) Chinese Anime Updates

A Chinese isekai anime is about to captivate the hearts of many donghua fans with the anime adaptation of Release That Witch novel. In 2018, it was previously unveiled that Release That Witch anime had been in production and the team behind it had released a promotional video for the series, unfortunately, the project was eventually canceled. Nevertheless, many fans had been surprised when Tencent has included Release That Witch in their 2021-2022 Chinese anime lineup.

Release That Witch Anime Announcement

The official announcement that Release That Witch anime adaptation had been resumed was made during the Tencent Video Animation 2021 Conference that took place last August 8. With this confirmation, all the hopes of the fans had gone way up and we couldn’t be more excited to watch the donghua as soon as possible.

Release That Witch anime is adapted from a novel of the same title originally written by Er Mu. The novel was also adapted into manhua in 2017 under the same Chinese title, Fangkai Nage Nuwu which was written and illustrated by Yuewen Manhua.
