About BURN THE WITCH

Here is what BURN THE WITCH is about, retold in plain terms: an action and fantasy anime by Studio Colorido and Team Yamahitsuji (2020). At its core: Historically, 72% of all the deaths in London are related to dragons, fantastical beings invisible to the majority of the people. While unknown to most, some people have been standing up to these dragons.

More of the story: Only inhabitants of Reverse London who live in the hidden "reverse" side of London can see the dragons. Even then, only a selected few become qualified enough as witches or wizards to make direct contact with them. The protagonists of the story are witch duo Noel Niihashi and Ninny Spangcole.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Hikari Yono as Narrator and Yuina Yamada as Noel Niihashi. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 3 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
