About Flying Witch

Meet Flying Witch (ふらいんぐうぃっち), a slice of life and supernatural anime by J.C.STAFF (2016). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: Traditionally, when a witch turns 15, she's supposed to go out into the world alone to study magic. Makoto's parents, however, believe that their directionally-challenged daughter should get a high school degree.

Beyond that: Instead of being sent out on her own, Makoto and her cat Chito find themselves traveling from the bustling city of Yokohama to Aomori Prefecture, where they'll stay with relatives until Makoto finishes school. It's going to be a big adjustment, and it only gets more complicated since "normal" people aren't supposed to know that witches exist… something that she tends to forget.

As a slice of life title, small, quiet moments and character warmth are the main appeal. Makoto Kowata (Minami Shinoda) and Chinatsu Kuramoto (Eri Suzuki) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who want a calm, character-first watch. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
