Release That Witch Anime: Donghua Adaptation & Crunchyroll Stream

For years, I’ve been a huge fan of the unique world crafted in Release That Witch. This isn’t just another Isekai story; it’s a masterclass in kingdom-building, where science meets magic in the most brilliant ways. And now, the news we’ve all been waiting for is officially here: Release That Witch is getting an anime adaptation – a high-profile donghua!

The Wait Is Over: Release That Witch Donghua Confirmed

I remember the early whispers, the hopeful speculation, and even some disappointing rumors of production halts. But all of that just makes this official confirmation even sweeter. Crunchyroll has stepped up, securing the streaming rights for the Release That Witch anime worldwide (outside of Asia, typically). This is huge because it means a global audience will easily be able to follow Prince Roland Wimbledon’s incredible journey.

While an exact release date is still To Be Announced (TBA), the series recently had an exclusive first look and trailer reveal at AFA Singapore 2025. Just picturing the magic, the industrial advancements, and the witches finally animated sends shivers down my spine!

What Makes Release That Witch So Special? (And Why You Should Be Excited!)

If you’re new to this universe, let me quickly introduce you to why the Release That Witch donghua is going to be a must-watch Chinese anime.

Imagine a modern-day engineer transmigrated into a medieval fantasy world, reborn as Prince Roland. This world is filled with magic, but witches are persecuted, seen as agents of the devil. What sets Roland apart is his scientific mind and his radical idea: instead of burning them, he embraces them. He realizes their unique magical abilities aren’t evil; they’re resources.

• Science Meets Magic: This isn’t just generic magic. Roland uses his engineering knowledge to combine modern scientific principles with the witches’ powers. Think steam engines powered by a witch who can generate heat, or advanced weaponry guided by a witch with enhanced senses. It’s a true technology tree progression in a fantasy setting.

• Kingdom Building at Its Best: The core of the story is watching Roland transform a desolate Border Town into an industrial powerhouse. We see the development of concrete, firearms, advanced farming techniques, and even early medical practices, all accelerated by the clever application of magic.

• Compelling Characters: From the fiercely loyal Nightingale to the intelligent Anna, the diverse cast of witches, each with their own unique past and abilities, are incredibly engaging. Roland himself is a refreshingly pragmatic and innovative protagonist.

For existing fans of the Release That Witch novel or manhua, I’m particularly excited to see how the animation studio brings the intricate details of Roland’s inventions and the witches’ powers to life. Early indications suggest the animation style is aiming for a more serious and detailed aesthetic, perhaps drawing more heavily from the novel’s original vision, which I think is a fantastic approach.

My Hopes for the Release That Witch Anime

As a long-time reader, I have high hopes for this Chinese anime. The initial arcs of Release That Witch are some of the most satisfying kingdom-building narratives I’ve ever encountered. My main hope is that the adaptation captures that initial magic – the slow, deliberate, yet incredibly rewarding progression of Roland’s town.

While the novel’s later arcs became a bit more complex and, for some, divisive, I’m optimistic that the donghua will deliver a strong, cohesive story that highlights the series’ greatest strengths: innovation, camaraderie, and the triumph of progress over superstition.

Get Ready for the Industrial Revolution of Magic!

So, if you’re looking for an Isekai that stands out, an anime that blends fantasy with genuine scientific ingenuity, keep your eyes peeled for the Release That Witch donghua. I know I’ll be there on day one, ready to watch Roland and his witches forge a new future, one invention and one magical ability at a time.
