2026's Anime Of The Year Has Officially Been Chosen

2026 finally saw the release of one of the most anticipated anime series of the decade in the form of Witch Hat Atelier. After years of delay, we finally got to see the life of Coco brought to life. Coco’s story began with her wishing to be a Witch, before accidentally turning her mother to stone. After the catastrophe, she was taken in as a Witch Apprentice by Qifrey. Witch Hat Atelier is a brilliant story that caught our attention early on, and now it has become this year’s best anime at the Astra Awards.
