Burn the Witch

Finally more female anime, I have been looking for more badass female protagonists and fighting scenes. I also love the animation drawing it's self. I hope this can become a show. I really did enjoy Bleach, was pretty sad it was canceled.

Burn the Witch is an enjoyable movie, albeit without depth by any means. Visually rich, but falls short when you factor in the story. Nothing more than your average shonen anime.

I will admit I am not the biggest fan of Bleach. I never have kept up with the series so I was unsure when I was watching this how lost I would be. My worries were swept away once I started watching it because this has nothing to do with the Bleach universe. I have to admit you should probably read the manha first before you engage with this anime because you will be kind of lost if you don't Back to the point, I enjoyed Burn the Witch because although the story is not deep and intriguing like I would want it to, it's still an good anime. The reasons that the anime worked for me were the dramatic moments of the show did a good job in telling a story, character development wasn't the best but it did its job in the end, the art style during the whole show is absolutely beautiful, and the comedy/funny moments are on point. A final thing is that if you are looking at this anime hoping for anything from Bleach then I suggest you don't watch it because you will be disappointed and you won't like it as a spinoff. Other than that I would recommend it just so you can listen to the ending theme because it really is a good listen from NiL.

Noel Niihashi and Ninny Spangcole are witch and protection agents for Wing Bind an organization for dragon conservation and management. Their mission is to protect and manage the dragons within London on behalf of the people.

I thought this was a really good spin off series which is set in the same universe as bleach. The characters are refreshing, the story is refreshing and it was just top notch.

As this is only a spin off I don't think you need to watch bleach to under although I am not sure when does it take place in series.

Still though I would recommend checking this out even if you aren't into bleach.

As this three part anime series opens we are told that most disappearances in London are due to dragons. Most of the inhabitants can't see them though. There is also a second City of London; Reverse London. Here people are aware of the dragons and they are controlled by 'Wing Bind'. Protagonists Noel Niihashi and Ninny Spangcole are two witches who work for Wing Bind to protect the city.

I enjoyed this short series; it is just a pity it didn't have more episodes. The setting is good and the characters are fun to watch. The scenes of them battling against dragons were suitably exciting without being too scary for older children. The plot is simple enough but effective. The character designs aren't as polished as those in most series made these days but they had a distinctive look that I liked. The backgrounds looked impressive. Overall I'd recommend this to anime fans... if you don't enjoy it you won't waste much time.
