After years of no news, Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina has dropped a new trailer for its upcoming movie adaptation. It’s been five years since the TV anime aired in Japan, which ran from October to December 2020.
The movie project was revealed during the Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina segment at GA FES 2026. It’s part of the GA 20TH ANNIVERSARY programming, which was streamed on the Japanese platform ABEMA on January 4th.

The announcement provides no information about the animation staff, release window, or specific story details. So, that leaves the nature of Elaina’s next journey for a future update. Let’s hope we get some more details soon!
While the TV anime reached its fifth anniversary on October 2nd, 2025, separately, the original novel series is approaching its own landmark. 2026 marks ten years since the debut of the source material. So, the movie announcement is a great way to kick off the anniversary celebrations.
More about the Wandering Witch
Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina is based on a novel of the same name. It was self-published in 2014 by Jogi Shiraishi. Set in a medieval world, the story follows Elaina, a young witch who leaves her homeland to travel freely across different countries.
Rather than pursuing a single grand objective, she moves from place to place in search of new experiences. She encounters a wide range of people, cultures, and moral situations along the way. Her curiosity and love of exploration drive the narrative, often shifting between gentle, whimsical episodes and unexpectedly dark or disturbing ones.
