The first key visual for the animated film "Witch on the Holy Night" (Japanese: "Mahōtsukai no Yoru") has been released. It shows the protagonist Aoko Aozaki standing at the center of a huge magic circle with a sharp gaze. The accompanying slogan reads: "A witch who lives in the modern world. However, an apprentice."
The visual was unveiled on March 21, after a new announcement for the project was expected at 18:00 (Japan time). Simultaneously, a short video clip was also released, showing the motif in motion.
"Witch on the Holy Night" is based on the visual novel PC game of the same name by developer TYPE-MOON, originally released on April 12, 2012. The scenario is by Kinoko Nasu, the creator of the "The Garden of Sinners" and "Fate" series. The graphical implementation was handled by Hirokazu Koyama, who has long been responsible for the creative design of TYPE-MOON works.
The story originates from an unpublished novel that Nasu wrote before the release of "Tsukihime." It is set in late 1980s Japan and represents the earliest work in the chronological order within the TYPE-MOON universe.
The film adaptation is being directed by Studio ufotable, known for its work on "Fate/stay night [Heaven's Feel]" and "Demon Slayer." The film is scheduled to open in Japanese theaters later this year.
