Nurse Witch Komugi (Japanese: ナースウィッチ小麦ちゃんマジカルて Hepburn: Nāsu Witchi Komugi-chan Majikarute?, majikarute is a pun on "magical" and "karte", a German loanword used to refer to medical records) is an original video animation (OVA) anime series co-produced by Tatsunoko Production and Kyoto Animation. The series lasted for five episodes (six if episode 2.5 that appeared in the middle of the series is included), all of which were released on DVD in North America by ADV Films. A two episode long sequel OVA series was created, Nurse Witch Komugi-chan Magicarte Z.
The story of the anime is a parody of both The SoulTaker and the magical girl anime genre. It revolves around Komugi Nakahara, a cosplay idol who turns into Magical Nurse Witch Komugi when trouble is around.
While the English dub of the show was adapted by ADV, the original The SoulTaker dub was not. In a rare move, ADV recalled many of the voice actors from The Ocean Group dub of The SoulTaker to reprise their roles in Nurse Witch Komugi to keep consistency between the two dubs.
An anime television series Nurse Witch Komugi R aired from January 10, 2016 to March 27, 2016. The new series is a reboot of the original OVAs.
All but a few characters return from SoulTaker, appearing as bizarre parodies of themselves.
