Once Upon a Witch’s Death New Trailer Released

The official website of the anime adaptation of Saka’s Once Upon a Witch’s Death light novel series has released a new trailer featuring the opening theme “Drops” by Sakamoto Maaya.

The site also announced two new cast members and shared their character’s visuals.

• Hikasa Youko as Eldora

• Itou Shizuka as Inori

The site also shared messages from the new cast members.

• Hikasa Youko (Eldora):
  “Bearing the title Witch of Calamity,
  Eldora exudes an aura that will make anyone sense disaster just from her appearance and presence.
  How will the light that is Meg reflect in her eyes?
  Will its brilliance burn her? Or will that light take root within her?
  I will strive to embody Eldora, immersing myself in the feeling of being shut away in the depths of the abyss, unable to truly connect with others in conversation.
  I will ensure that even my breathing and the air around me will allow me to remain as Eldora.”

• Itou Shizuka (Inori):
  “Inori-san is an amazing witch, although apparently, it seems like her feet smell…
  As she encounters Meg’s earnestness and kindness toward others, what will she see within herself?
  What will she try to accomplish?
  As I portray her, I want to feel many things together with Inori-san.”

Once Upon a Witch’s Death is set to release on April 1.

On her seventeenth birthday, apprentice witch Meg Raspberry is suddenly informed by her magic master, Faust, that she has only one year left to live because she is afflicted with the curse of the “Death Sentence.”
The only way to escape death is to create the “Seed of Life,” which grants immortality to the one who possesses it by gathering one thousand tears of joy.
And so, to gather tears of joy, Meg begins interacting with various people.
This is the miraculous story of Meg Raspberry, an inexperienced witch who was given only one year to live.
