The Tale of a Girl Who Couldn't Become a Witch: New anime premieres with key visual and second promo video

The TV anime "The Tale of a Girl Who Couldn't Become a Witch" will premiere on October 4. Along with this announcement, the key visual and the second trailer have been revealed.

This anime is the second project to emerge from "Project ANIMA," an initiative to develop original anime. The story follows a group of girls who fail the entrance exam for the National Magician Training Department, commonly known as the "M-Class," at the prestigious Lettran School of Magic. Despite their failure, the girls continue their aspirations to become witches and dive into a magical school fantasy with youthful determination.

At the center of the film are Kurumi Mirai, a cheerful girl who dreams of becoming a witch, and Yuzu Edel, a noble from a family with a long tradition of successful witches, both of whom come from a magical circle. Surrounding them are their classmates Maki and Asuka, as well as Asuka's twin brother Kyou, who is in the M-Class. In the background, their teacher Minami, who seems to signal "secret" with a finger to her lips, adds a touch of mystery.

The promotional video introduces the characters' voices, including Minami, voiced by Yui Horie. It highlights the contrast between the M-Class, which uses officially approved wands and spellbooks, and Minami, who transforms a pen into a wand to create hand-drawn magic circles. The video showcases a strange and eerie school environment featuring a creepy tree, a fiery dragon, and other mysterious figures.

The anime's opening theme is "Collage," a new song by the group PUFFY to Tsuideni TOOBOE, while the ending theme is "Shunkan Saidaifuusoku" by halca.
