What this is
Magical Girl Witch Trials ～the next page～ is a live stage performance event based on the magical girl anime/media franchise of the same name, held at Ginza Blossom Chuo Kaikan Hall in Tokyo on August 15, 2026. The event features a cast of eight voice actresses and performers reprising their roles from the franchise, bringing the characters to life in a theatrical setting. Held across two separate performances — a daytime and an evening show — the event offers fans two opportunities to experience the story in an immersive live format. Events of this type, known in Japan as 2.5D or character stage performances, are a beloved part of anime fan culture, bridging the gap between animated media and live entertainment.
Who should go
This event is ideal for fans of the Magical Girl Witch Trials franchise who want to see their favourite characters and voice actresses perform live on stage. Anime enthusiasts who enjoy 2.5D stage productions and live seiyuu (voice actress) events will feel right at home in the enthusiastic, community-driven atmosphere. The crowd will be predominantly Japanese-speaking fans, so some familiarity with the franchise and basic Japanese will enhance the experience. Book your preferred ticket tier early — Golden Tickets in rows 1–4 sell out fastest during lottery periods.
Good to know
Tickets are sold via general sales starting July 25, 2026 — check the official event website for the ticketing platform link, which is likely eplus.jp or pia.jp; both accept foreign credit cards, though convenience store (combini) pickup at Lawson is the most reliable collection method for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. Ginza Blossom Chuo Kaikan Hall is a mid-sized event hall in the Ginza district, suited to intimate stage productions of this type — expect a seated arrangement with clearly assigned rows. Golden Ticket holders in rows 1–4 receive bonus items, so if you are a dedicated fan, the premium pricing is worth considering for the added collectibles. Merchandise booths at anime stage events typically open before doors, so arriving 60–90 minutes early is advisable if you want to purchase goods without missing the show. The venue is in central Ginza, so dining and convenience stores are plentiful nearby for pre-show meals.
