They want to revive the anime of Majo no Tabitabi

On November 18 at 6:00 p.m., a fundraising campaign will begin in Japan to reactivate enthusiasm for the franchise of "Majo no Tabitabi (Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina)", whose anime never managed to get a second season. The project aims to reintroduce the figure of Elaina, the charismatic protagonist, into the public eye and make the benefits of the story known to a wider audience. The organizers hope that the participation of fans will serve to keep the franchise alive and, with it, the possibility of a new animated adaptation.

The mission behind the campaign, according to the official statement, is to publicize "the appeal of Majo no Tabitabi through advertising in Nagoya, Aichi," a region that has a special relationship with author Jougi Shiraishi. The campaign aims to use a special illustration of Elaina created by illustrator Azuru for this occasion, which will be featured in various advertisements throughout the spring of 2025, regardless of whether the financial goal is reached or not. In the event that donations exceed the expected amount, the additional funds will go towards more advertisements or additional rewards for participants.

The story of "Majo no Tabitabi" follows Elaina, a young witch who, fascinated by travel stories, becomes an adventurer and explores different countries and cultures. The anime debuted in 2020 and, although it enjoyed great popularity, it did not get to see a second season, which has left its followers eager for its return. Fans see this campaign as a unique opportunity to revive interest in the franchise and finally achieve a sequel. At the same time, Anime Store offers discount coupons on her novels "Majo no Tabitabi" and "Majo no Tabitabi: Gakuen Monogatari", which reinforces the initiative to bring more audiences closer to the world of the young witch.

This campaign represents a promising strategy to gauge fan interest, as franchises in Japan often use such projects to show studios and distributors that there is still demand for new productions. If this campaign achieves strong support, it would not be unreasonable to think of the return of Majo no Tabitabi to the screen.

"I still don't know how much I should donate."
"Wow, right after I renewed my credit card."
"Please, let the second season arrive!"
"I want to support."
"I could donate 1500 yen."
"I am going to participate, even if it is with a small amount. If Majo no Tabitabi is revived and leads to a second season, that would be great!"
