Will Witch on the Holy Nights Popularity Bring More Mature Visual Novels to Anime?

It’s wild how a single blue moon can change the whole vibe of the anime scene, almost like when Fate/Zero first dropped and everyone started taking visual novels seriously. The way Witch on the Holy Night handled its mature themes without holding back really caught me off guard, especially with how Aoko’s choices felt way more real and risky than most adaptations. But then you’ve got Soujuurou just totally missing the point in the funniest way, like he’s in a different genre half the time. If this gets more studios to adapt mature VNs, we might see stories that actually challenge us, not just fanservice. Maybe this is Nasu’s way of setting up a new era for anime, like a magic circle that’s only just started to glow. I’m hyped to see where this leads—feels like waiting for the next spell to be cast. What do you all think? Any other VNs you hope get the anime treatment?

Aoko’s choices legit gave me chills—finally, a VN adaptation that doesn’t water down the consequences. If this opens the door for stuff like Kara no Shoujo or even Muramasa to get anime, I’m all in. Mature stories deserve more love than just endless isekai and waifu bait. Let’s see some real risks!

Honestly, if Witch on the Holy Night opens the door for more mature VN adaptations, I’m all for it. We need more stuff that isn’t afraid to get dark or complicated. I’d kill to see something like Kara no Shoujo or even Saya no Uta animated, if a studio’s brave enough to handle those themes right.
