Anime Tamago is a service project that was established by Japan’s Agency of Cultural Affairs to support and encourage the growth of young animators who will become the future of the anime industry. The project has given birth to creative and ambitious works that are known by anime fans worldwide, such as STUDIO4℃’s Little Witch Academia, MAD HOUSE’s Death Parade, and TRIGGER’s Red Ash.
The works and key visuals that will be screened next year at Anime Tamago 2018 were announced on October 20th.

Makina finds the two and hires them to throw away her “witch’s book.” Actually, Makina wants to quit being a witch so she can become a normal girl, but her magic book, which is the intermediary between her and her magic, is getting in her way! However, that book is not something that can be thrown away so easily…
