Witch Hat Atelier has won Best Anime Series at the 2026 Astra TV Awards, giving the acclaimed fantasy adaptation another major recognition during its first season. The award was presented by the Hollywood Creative Alliance at a ceremony held in Los Angeles on August 15.
The series, based on Kamome Shirahama’s manga, faced strong competition in the category. Its nominees included Dandelion, MAO, Rooster Fighter, Sakamoto Days, and STEEL BALL RUN JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
Witch Hat Atelier Adds Another Major Award
According to Deadline, Witch Hat Atelier also received recognition in the voice acting categories. Anjali Kunapaneni was nominated for Best Lead Voice-Over Performance for her English portrayal of Coco, while Joshua Waters received a Best Supporting Voice-Over Performance nomination for playing Qifrey.
The anime premiered on April 6, 2026, and its success has already secured a second season. The series follows Coco, a girl fascinated by magic who discovers that becoming a witch is far more complicated than she imagined.
The Astra victory continues the anime category’s growing recognition at the awards. Dragon Ball Daima won Best Anime Series at the 2025 Astra TV Awards, while Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle received an honorary Animation Is Cinema award earlier in 2026.
With its first season now an award winner and another season confirmed, Witch Hat Atelier has quickly established itself as one of 2026’s most prominent anime adaptations.
