The promo went live earlier today in honor of Weekly Shonen Jump‘s new issue. Fans were treated to a look at Burn the Witch in action, and as you can imagine, fans have a lot to say about the reel. Oh, and it seems the PV has fans even more hyped for the anime than before.
The clip can be seen above as it showcases the story and its fantastical setting. Burn the Witch takes place in the United Kingdom as its two heroines use magic to keep peace. When humanity comes under threat from some dragons, it falls to the girls to fight back, and this promo proves Burn the Witch has given these fight sequences an all-star treatment. The PV has some gorgeous animation, so that is a good sign for Kubo’s new series.
The “Burn the Witch” anime begins event screening in Japan and same-day streaming on October 2nd. Crunchyroll will stream the anime outside of asia (some excluded).
