We had our first look at the Journey of Elaina back in October 2019 when the first promo dropped and now a new key visual has come from the official site. Since then we’ve had a few more key visual pieces and another one has landed today alongside a new promotional video. This also reveals an October 2020 premiere for the series and the reveal that Yoko Hikasa will be voicing Sheila for the show.
The series is directed by Toshiyuki Kubooka with C2C handling the animation production. The original light novel series was written by Jougi Shiraishi with artwork by Azure.
The Japanese cast includes:
- Kaede Hondo as Elaina
- Kana Hanazawa as Flan
- Tomoyo Kurosawa as Saya
- Yoko Hikasa as Sheila
Plot Concept: What’s your favorite story? Does it have a hero who slays a dragon and saves a princess? Or a child of prophecy destined for greatness? Well, my favorite story is a little different. It’s the tale of a witch who travels the world, seeking nothing in particular. With no quest of her own, she’s free to wander wherever the wind takes her, adding a few pages to the story of whomever she meets before setting off on her next adventure. At the end of her travels, the witch takes on an apprentice who will one day begin her own journey. And so the cycle continues, or so the story goes. Now, the witch who starts the story anew…who could she be?
