Ashley: The Magical Witch (Neo-Japanese: 魔法少女物語：魔法の魔女アシュリー, lit: Magical Girl Stories: Ashley The Magical Witch) is an Neo-Japanese children’s anime series produced by SNK Animation (credited as Studio Daiku), directed by Tomohiro Kiyotaki, and written by Shigeru Minamoto.
The series would be aired on Neo-Japan between June 20th, 1995 and January 8th, 1998. It is based upon an series of Robloxian graphic novels that were published in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Summary
The series is about the misadventures of a young witch girl, Ashley, and her demon companion and best friend, Red as they repeatedly attempt to stop causing tons of trouble for civilians in the fictional city of Diamond City, Kanto.
Availability
The anime (both its dubbed version and the original version) is available for streaming on RBO Max under the “Anime” category of the said platform since licensing it back in 2022, and it is also available on BloxTube TV under the title “Ashley & Friends”.
The anime has also aired in Bloxia Kingdom on International 48 (through the channel, Avast Kids) and also in Bloxico on the public children’s television channel, Canal 9 under the title “Las Aventuras de Ashley y Rojo” (Bloxlish translation: “The Adventures of Ashley and Red”).
Rating
Due to it not actually airing in Robloxia, it does not have a official age rating. However, had it aired, it would have most likely rated 9-12 by the TV Parental Guidelines, mainly due to the fact that it prominently features several instances of gross-out humor (which is played for laughs)
Reboot
In 2025, a reboot of the anime began airing, this time. It was produced by NEO GEO (a SNK Animation subsidiary) and was created as a revival of the original anime series to continue from chapters 247 onward (as the anime only covered 168 chapters from the graphic novel).
As of 2026, the reboot is still ongoing and is currently in the process of adapting chapters 584, 585, and 586 of the graphic novel.
