About Once Upon a Witch's Death

Once Upon a Witch's Death (ある魔女が死ぬまで) arrives as an adventure anime by EMT Squared (2025), and the premise is easy to summarize. In short: On Meg’s seventeenth birthday, she learns that she only has one year left to live. Her mentor—the Eternal Witch, Faust—explains that she is cursed and the only way to save herself is to grow a seed of life using one thousand tears of joy.

Also worth knowing: Of course, such tears aren’t easy to come by. As Meg begins her quest, she stumbles on herself drawn into the lives of her allies and neighbors in ways she never imagined. By sharing their burdens and using her magic to comfort them, she learns how precious those moments of connection can be even in the face of death.

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Voice work is led by Yoshino Aoyama as Meg Raspberry and Yoshiko Sakakibara as Faust. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
