Champignon Witch is about to bloom on late-night TV in Japan, with streaming close behind. If you’ve been asking “where do I watch it, and what’s the fastest option?” this quick guide lays out the premiere special, the earliest streams, and the official links you’ll actually use.
Japan TV premiere times for Champignon Witch
The TV anime adaptation of Tachibana Higuchi’s Champignon no Majo（シャンピニオンの魔女） begins broadcasting in Japan in early January 2026. On the schedule, the TBS slot is listed as “late night Jan 8,” which is the kind of Japanese time notation that can trip people up: it’s a deep-night broadcast that effectively lands in the early hours for many calendars. If you’re setting alarms outside Japan, treat it as a late-night/early-morning window and double-check the exact JST time before you sleep through it.
TBS: Jan 8 (Thu) late night, 1:58 a.m. (JST) — Episodes 1 & 2 back-to-back
BS11: Jan 9 (Fri) 11:00 p.m. (JST) — Episodes 1 & 2 back-to-back
AT-X: Jan 12 (Mon) 11:00 p.m. (JST) — Episode 1 / Jan 19 (Mon) 11:00 p.m. (JST) — Episode 2 (with repeat broadcasts listed on the channel)
Fastest streaming on d Anime Store and Hulu
If your top priority is speed, the official schedule lists advance streaming on d Anime Store and Hulu (Japan) starting at 3:00 a.m. JST on Jan 8. From Episode 3 onward, the advance streaming time shifts earlier to 2:30 a.m. JST, so it’s worth bookmarking the official schedule page and checking it weekly if you’re following in real time.
For anyone who doesn’t use the two advance services, general streaming is also mapped out on the same schedule, including a start date of 3:00 a.m. JST on Jan 13, then shifting to 2:30 a.m. JST from Episode 3 onward. Platform availability can vary, so the cleanest move is to confirm your preferred service directly on the official list: Official website.
One-hour kickoff with two episodes in a row
TBS and BS11 are treating the premiere as a one-hour special, airing Episodes 1 and 2 consecutively. That’s a big deal for a story built on atmosphere and emotional momentum: instead of judging the series on a single cold open, you get two chapters to settle into Luna’s world—deep forest solitude, the fear she inspires, and the quiet kindness that keeps pulling people toward her anyway.
If you’re the type who decides fast whether a show is “your thing,” the two-episode opener makes the decision easier. You’ll likely get a clearer sense of tone, pacing, and the core relationship dynamics on night one.
TBS, BS11, and AT-X schedule at a glance
Here’s the simplest way to plan your watch: if you want the earliest TV broadcast, aim for TBS; if you prefer a more prime-time-ish slot, BS11 follows the next night; and if AT-X is your home base, note that it rolls out Episode 1 and Episode 2 on separate weeks. Times can change, so consider the official schedule page your source of truth, especially around holidays and special programming.
Non-credit OP and ED videos you can watch now
If you want a no-spoiler taste test, the production has already released non-credit versions of the opening and ending on YouTube. These are perfect for catching the show’s “feel” in under three minutes—color palette, pacing, and the emotional promise of the story—before you commit to the premiere night.

Qzil.la’s new label launches with this project
On the studio side, this title is positioned as the first project under Qzil.la’s newly established label following the transfer of a long-form animation production division. That “first release” framing usually comes with extra pressure to stick the landing, and the rollout supports that idea: a two-episode premiere block, clear multi-platform scheduling, and official preview videos ready ahead of broadcast.
Set your reminders and join the conversation
If you’re watching on TV, don’t miss the one-hour, two-episode opener—it’s built to pull you in quickly. If you’re streaming-first, aim for the earliest advance drop, and keep the official schedule page handy in case times shift. And if you’re already feeling the mushroom-magic vibe, share your first impressions with the official hashtag #シャンピニオンの魔女. 🌙🍄
