Burn the Witch

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 .

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.

Finally, we see another anime adaptation of a Tite Kubo's manga. We again get to hear some stylish terms like 'imprisoned for 100 years'. Interesingly, the theme felt closer to Harry Potter or Black Clover than to Bleach. But yes, some of the elements would surely remind you of Bleach.

For a spin-off, the storyline looked interesting but the ending didn't feel satisfying. Cinderella and Macy deserved to have more interaction in the end. If only, the main characters, especially Ninny, were shown less pessimist. It ended up looking like a literary work from the Baroque time period. Even the Balgo's sword had no significance at all in the end. Noel's character design reminded me of Orihime's. Nevertheless, her personality was entirely different and felt even more-likeable. Midway, I started expecting some Yuri as well. But well, it never really surfaced.

Overall, it wasn't a bad watch. If only the things were resolved in a more appropriate way. Nevertheless, you can still enjoy it and have a good weekend.

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.

Gorgeous animation, CLEAR PLOT, lovable characters. Definitely a must watch!
