The fantasy drama Once Upon a Witch's Death is now available on Crunchyroll, complete with English dub and subtitles. The series centers on Meg Raspberry, an orphan raised by the Eternal Witch Faust, who discovers on her 17th birthday that a congenital curse will cause her to age a thousand times faster and die within days of turning 18.
Adapted from the manga by Natsu Hyuuga, the 12-episode series was animated by EMT Squared. Meg's only hope is to find a legendary seed of life, embarking on a quest that will test her resolve and introduce her to a found family. The show explores themes of curses, magic, and coming of age, with a predominantly female cast.
Despite its dark premise, the anime leans into iyashikei elements, offering moments of warmth and connection amidst Meg's race against time. The series finished its run in Spring 2025 and holds a 7.36 rating on MyAnimeList from over 20,000 voters.
