A W.I.T.C.H. Reboot!?

[@christianvandom]

Oh wow, I didn't notice that Will was already transformed into her guardian form when I first saw the image in the internet. I hope the rest of the girls have fun and interesting designs transformed because Will looks like she just has regular clothing.

[@shawnwarrynn8609]

Frankly even the art style of the W.i.t.c.h. Manga is more appealing in comparison to the reboot's art. Maybe Disney could make that Marvel W.i.t.c.h. crossover, they originally intended to do back in 2012, and get the original writers and artists. Granted it would be difficult.

[@kalpic11]

I love shoujo but I would rather they keep the older style as well. I hope this isn’t as disappointing as any other reboot of a cartoon. You're right about the unique wings and Will’s bell sleeve! Also I think the bright colors in the old comics are quintessential. I successfully got to the checkout page but I'm not paying $18 shipping for a book I can't read just yet. 😅

[@Elvirabg]

I'm super worried but I am optimistic and would still be open to reading them!

[@Thex-W.I.T.C.H.-xMaster]

2:52. If you asked me this looks much better then what they are currently pushing as a supposed W.I.T.C.H. reboot (BUT NEWS FLASH... WHAT THEY ARE SHOWING ISN'T TRULY W.I.T.C.H. 😡🤬)

[@Thex-W.I.T.C.H.-xMaster]

If you saw any of the content art that I have about this new reboot you HOPEFULLY... agree with me that they have totally RUINED W.I.T.C.H.... I don't want to spoil it for you, but well they ruined the way Will looks, the way Susan Vandom looks, the way Cornelia and Elyon looks like... they TOTALLY RUINED the Guardian Outfits to don't get me going on that... I'd say the only ones that looked good were Irma and Hay Lin... 😒😕🙄😮‍💨..... to me this isn't W.I.T.C.H.

[@mworldxyz5631]

Of course Disney would rather reboot the comics instead of continuing the tv show, or adapting the original comics to a new show. They reboot everything nowadays and honestly I'm getting sick of this. After the Lion King, I decided to stop paying for any kind of "reboot", especially with a "modern" twist. Sorry for the negativity but this is not for me.

[@fermintenava5911]

Well, these other reboots were movies which they pumped out like toxic waste. Disney Italia is a bit more independent from that - if they had enough time to carefully develop it, it might turn out decently.

[@mworldxyz5631]

@@fermintenava5911 Maybe, but really I'm just tired of all of it.. I feel like they take my nostalgia and try to get younger kids invested in it and so they tend to change everything from appearances to messages, and it feels so insulting to the original at times, and even to the younger generations, as if they can't connect to something that was made in the 80's. 90's or early 2000's. Its just sad for me...

True, I want the third season so bad. It would be so great.(

A lot of us are looking at this holding our breath. You are not alone. After seeing more leaks I think the art style is too simplified to hold a candle to the original. I'm still going to check it out and give my honest reactions. -ShySky

I can confirm it won't just be coming to Italy, but internationally. The printing house, Egmont, in May has revealed that they are going to release the graphic novel in Poland somewhere in November under the title "Witch: Nowe Historie" (Witch: New Stories), but at the time they didn't have any final cover or additional info, just the translated title, release month and that it's brand new, written and drawn within past year

[@DHCNetwork06]

So I recently watched the show back in May (Going for a 2nd round soon) and recently finished the comics last weekend. A reboot would be great even though I really do like the animation of both the comics and the show. If they are going for a Reboot, they can bring back the main villains from the show and bring the other villains from the comics (Ari, Yua, Dark Mother, etc). Or perhaps add new villains. I myself made some concepts for new villains. Hope the reboot can put W.I.T.C.H back on the map.

Cute but... the OG version was iconic and unique. You can instantly recognize Alessandro Barbucci's character design. This reboot art style looks very generic and common nowadays. It's giving basic instagram art, with the round faces, fish lips and dilated pupils like they're high.

[@trikster6748]

There's a rumor that this reboot is going to be published in Poland. We know that in November we're going to get "New Stories" graphic novel, some mysterious comics that was never published in Poland before. And this may be this reboot. But it's not confirmed.

[@DarlEnchanted]

Z obserwacji dodam, że to nie jest tylko pogłoska. Redaktor pracujący dla Egmont, w jednym z materiałów filmowych na ich kanale potwierdził, że "Nowe historie" to komiks, narysowany w minionym roku, po ponad 20 latach, plus informacja padła w katalogu. Czyli nie jest to coś co wcześniej wydano we Włoszech, ale pominięto w Polsce w czasie wydawania Witcha, bo ostatnie tamtejsze nowości wyszły jakieś 10 lat temu. Czyli to nie będą niepublikowane w Polsce historyjki z ostatniej sagi (byłoby to niespójne z nowym wydaniem oryginału, który wtedy będzie na etapie szóstej sagi, czyli praktycznie w połowie całego cyklu), ani też nie wydania specjalne. Szanse, że to będzie ten reboot są właściwie spore. Raczej mało prawdopodobne byłoby żeby Disney postanowił sobie nagle wydać dwa nowe, osobne projekty Witch w ciągu tego roku, i oba na jesień, z czego o jednym niespodziewanie wspomina polskie wydawnictwo, a o drugim włoskie, ale żadne nie mówi o obu.

As a diehard DragonBall Z fan. W.I.T.C.H deserves a reboot and a comeback. I actually love the show. I honestly believe W.I.T.C.H should've been popular as DragonBall Z. Really hope this reboot can bring back the spark.

@@digitalbloodlines Hello. If they want to do something with W.I.T.C.H. they should immediately get the original writers or at least as many as possible along with as many of the original voice actors as possible as well and make Season 3 and keep going with the CURRENT W.I.T.C.H. Animated Series storyline. Have about 6 Seasons telling their story through High School. Maybe even College. Disney messed up by canceling it after only 2 Seasons.

Hey! I have a question. I just recently finished watching the TV series (finally, I know) . I loved the show as a kid but haven't been able to finish watching it until now. I want to read the books to continue the story but I don't know which order to read them in or how to read them. I know there are several different kinds of book series that were published. Do you have a recommended guide on what to read? Thank you!

[@digitalbloodlines]

Hello and welcome! I have actually considered doing a video about how to approach them. The Yen Press books are thick collections of the comic that was originally a monthly comic of 60 pages. For example, the first Yen Press book is a collection of four comic issues. Since arc 1 was 12 issues it is collected in 3 yen press books. I hope that makes sense, I'll get working on that video now...

[@JainaTargaryen]

I intensely dislike the new artstyle.

[@albrtw]

They even changed the legendary colour palette, wings and witch aesthetic of Will’s transformation. I can already see how Irma will be in blue clothes in her transformation, Tarani in orange, Cornelia in green, Hay Lin in gray.

[@digitalbloodlines]

No! I despise color-coding based on power!

[@yuri6887]

What I dislike was how they changed both Will and Elyon. Will is a straight up ginger now for some reason, like she was my favorite because of how her red hair made her stand out. And Elyon just doesn't look like Elyon anymore. I hate Taranee's hair too.

Wow, this news came out of nowhere and is a pleasant surprise! After 10 years since the original comic series ended, we're finally getting a reboot.

And I noticed that she's not wearing any shoes. If there was going to be a reboot of W.I.T.C.H., I'd hope it would be done with a new animation style and voice actors and aired on Disney+ or something. But I supposed this is fine.

I don't think they will do a black-and-white manga. Mangas are the way they are because they are produced more regularly and more cheaply.

Nooo... But yes...? I would have preferred to see new guardians and them older :( .... Maybe who knows even have a male Guardian an enigma like that.
