Witch on the Holy Night Anime Film Confirms IMAX Release on November 20

The upcoming animated film Witch on the Holy Night (Mahōtsukai no Yoru) will receive an IMAX theatrical release in Japan alongside its standard cinema opening on November 20, 2026.

The film's official website confirmed the expanded screening format on October 29 and unveiled a dedicated IMAX promotional illustration.

The artwork features Aoko Aozaki and Alice Kuonji using magic in an amusement-park setting, offering another look at the visual presentation of the ufotable production.

Additional theatrical events have also been announced for the film's opening weekend.

Voice actors Haruka Tomatsu, who plays Aoko Aozaki, and Yūsuke Kobayashi, who voices Sōjūrō Shizuki, are scheduled to appear at stage greetings in Tokyo on November 21 and Osaka on November 22.

The production has also confirmed music releases connected to the film.

An original soundtrack composed by Hideyuki Fukasawa will be released on December 23, 2026. The film's theme song, Yoru to Ao, is performed by supercell, with separate music release arrangements announced through the official website.

Based on the TYPE-MOON visual novel written by Kinoko Nasu, Witch on the Holy Night follows Aoko, a young apprentice magician, and her housemate Alice as their lives become intertwined with Sōjūrō, a boy newly arrived in the city.

The original visual novel was released in Japan in 2012 and later received editions for additional platforms.

The film reunites TYPE-MOON with animation studio ufotable, whose previous collaborations include adaptations of the Fate/stay night franchise.

With IMAX screenings now confirmed, Japanese audiences will have another theatrical format in which to experience the adaptation when it opens on November 20.

International theatrical distribution details were not established in the announcements reviewed.
