Burn the Witch

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.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

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.

Burn the witch has a creative story-line and funny characters to watch, but i'm afraid to tell you that this show does not have any unique element. I mean the story is good, actions and actors are perfect enough and animation is enjoyable, but you will forget the whole anime exactly after the day you watch it. But i have to confess that i had a good hour with this show. So, watch it if you like female heroes, dragons and action moments. It was the first animated series i saw from the anime world and it did really inspire me to watch more anime's like this. It was funny and i like to see more .

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.
