The final promotional video for the Witch on the Holy Night anime film has debuted, providing a comprehensive look at the production before its late-November theatrical launch. The trailer features the theme song 'Yoru to Ao' by supercell and introduces a new character visual illustrated by Hirokazu Koyama. Masashi Takeuchi is confirmed as director, supported by a production team featuring chief director Hikaru Kondo and script production by the studio ufotable.
Following the Japanese premiere on November 20, the film will reach North American audiences on January 29, 2027. Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment are handling the distribution, which will include both subtitled and English-dubbed options. The voice cast remains consistent with the visual novel, with Haruka Tomatsu, Kana Hanazawa, and Yūsuke Kobayashi reprising their roles as Aoko Aozaki, Alice Kuonji, and Soujyuro Sizuki, respectively.
This project adapts the 2012 visual novel, a cornerstone of the Type-Moon library that predates the studio's broader mainstream recognition. With over 150,000 units sold globally across PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, the title has maintained steady interest, further bolstered by a 2023 Steam release. As a foundational entry in the interconnected 'Nasuverse,' the film offers a rare look at the origins of Aoko Aozaki, a character whose later influence spans across the Tsukihime and The Garden of Sinners narratives.
