Two PVs for the 'Release that Witch' donghua series were recently released in 2021 and 2022, on August 8th of each year during the Tencent Animation Conference. A poster was also released in 2021. Thundray [震雷] has been announced as the studio producing the animation, however, no further details about the project's release dates have been announced.
There was another PV released in 2018, but it has been controversial.
Controversy with the 1st PV[]
The very first PV, released in 2018, was made by Thundray. In fact, it was not actually made as a PV for the public viewing, but as a demo, so that Thundray [震雷] could get the right to produce the anime adaptation of Release that Witch from China Literature. However, China Literature ended up not picking Thundray, and them releasing the demo as a PV online caused problems with Thundray. If you want to learn more about this, you can read the reddit post which explains the situation from Thundray's perspective.
It's not known how Thundray was eventually chosen as the studio that will produce the anime series, after the events mentioned above between them and China Literature.
