The upcoming The Dawn of the Witch anime is set to premiere in Japan on April 7. A trailer and a new visual have been released in addition to the premiere date announcement.
The trailer provides a preview of the show’s main characters, including Saybil (Shuuichirou Umeda), Loux Krystas (Miho Okasaki), Holt (Sayumi Suzushiro), and Kudo (Taku Yashiro). Meanwhile, the visual includes the Mud-Black Witch (Yumiri Hanamori), Mercenary (Tsuyoshi Koyama), and Priest (Masaaki Mizunaka).
The Dawn of the Witch is based on the light novel series written by Kakeru Kobashiri and illustrated by Takashi Iwasaki. The series began in 2018 and has four volumes as of November 2021. It is published under the Kodansha Light Novel Bunko label. A manga adaptation began in 2020.
Kodansha describes the manga as:
Saybil is a magic student with no memories of his life before he met a mysterious silver-haired woman in an alley. Now he travels with his teacher, Loux—another student, Holt, and the beastfallen Kudo for “special training”… but this field trip may not be as routine as it seems!
The anime’s staff includes Satoshi Kuwabara (The Quintessential Quintuplets, Girlfriend, Girlfriend) as director and series composer, Reina Iwasaki (Girlfriend, Girlfriend) as character designer, Yumi Aburaya (Adachi and Shimamura) as color designer, and Minoru Nishida (Yasuke) as art designer. Kobashiri and Mayumi Morita (Black Jack 21) are in charge of the literature, while Tezuka Productions is the animation production company.
The Dawn of the Witch is the sequel to Kobashiri’s earlier Grimoire of Zero, of which the Mud-Black Witch, or Zero, and the Mercenary are the protagonists of. Grimoire of Zero received an anime adaptation in 2017.
The Dawn of the Witch Anime's 1st Video Reveals More Cast
The official website for the television anime of Kakeru Kobashiri's The Dawn of the Witch (Mahōtsukai Reimeiki) light novel series unveiled a new key visual and first full promotional video for the anime on Friday. The video reveals three additional cast members and the April 7 premiere for the anime.
The newly announced cast members are:
Yumiri Hanamori as a mysterious witch who knows Saybil's past. (Hanamori previously played the witch Zero in the Grimoire of Zero anime.)

The anime will premiere on the TBS channel on April 7 at 25:58 (effectively, April 8 at 1:58 a.m.), and it will also run on BS11.
The light novel series is set in the same fantasy world as Kobashiri's (Grimoire of Zero) Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahō no Sho light novel series, now at peace after having endured a conflict between the church and witches for 500 years.
However, embers of war still burn in some regions of the world. The story centers on Cervil, a hopeless student at the Kingdom of Wenias' College of Magic. Cervil has somehow lost all memory of his time before attending the college. The school's headmaster Albus sends him for special training to the southern part of the continent, where persecution against witches runs strong.

Kobashiri is credited with the original work. Light novel illustrator Takashi Iwasaki is credited for the original character design.

Takashi Iwasaki (Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahō no Sho manga) provides the art, and Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahō no Sho illustrator Yoshinori Shizuma has partial credit for character designs. Kodansha published the fourth volume in November 2021.
The novels are inspring an ongoing manga by Tatsuwo that launched in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine in July 2019. Kodansha published the manga's fourth volume in October 2021 Kodansha Comics publishes the manga digitally, and it released the third volume on July 17.
Kobashiri's Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahō no Sho (Grimoire of Zero) light novels ran for 11 volumes from 2014 to 2017. The series inspired a manga adaptation by Takashi Iwasaki, a separate Zero Kara Hajimeru Mahō no Sho nano! manga by Yasuoka, and a television anime that premiered in Japan in April 2017. Amazon' Anime Strike service streamed the series as it aired.
The Dawn of the Witch TV Anime Starts Casting Its Magic on April 7
The original article for this announcement was published on February 18. However, Crunchyroll News unpublished the article due to an error in the provided embargo date. The updated article follows.
A press release for the upcoming The Dawn of the Witch anime announced today the series will begin its broadcast on April 7 and released a brand new key visual to coincide with the announcement as well as more cast members for the upcoming series from Tezuka Productions.
Yumiri Hanamori (Nadeshiko Kagamihara in Laid-Back Camp) as The Witch of Muddy Darkness:
An unidentified witch who appears in a scene that Seville, who has lost his memory, can only slightly recall. She has a somewhat otherworldly atmosphere and knows about Seville's past.
Masaaki Yano (Jyaka in I'm Standing on a Million Lives) as Mercenary
A "beast fallen" mercenary in the service of the witch who rules the village where the special training takes place. He has the features of a huge, white, feline beast, and gives off a strong sense of intimidation to anyone who confronts him.
Masaaki Mizunaka (Keisuke Baji in Tokyo Revengers) as Minister:
A minister who works at the church in the village where the special training takes place. He has lost his eyesight, so he covers both eyes tightly with a belt. Perhaps because of his wariness of witches, he often speaks in a rather harsh manner, and has a somewhat tense atmosphere.
