Once Upon a Witch's Death premiered on April 1 on Tokyo MX, Sun TV, KBS Kyoto, AT-X, and BS11. Crunchyroll describes the anime:

Meg Raspberry is just an apprentice witch celebrating her 17th birthday. That is, until Faust, her magic teacher and Perennial Witch of the Seven Sages, suddenly reveals she is going to die. To stop the Death Sentence curse, Meg must create the Seed of Life using tears of joy from 1,000 people. Join Meg on her travels as she collects the happy tears from everyone she meets to gain eternal life!
