The Burn The Witch prequel manga finally gets adapted into an anime in Burn The Witch #0.8, and fans won’t have to wait much longer to watch it. Ninny Spangcole and Noel Niihashi return in a story set before the events of the Burn The Witch film, which is currently available to watch in three parts.
The Burn The Witch series is set within the same universe as Bleach, so fans may notice subtle references to Tite Kubo’s original work. The upcoming anime special is one fans should not want to miss while waiting on Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 – The Conflict.

Lastly, Burn The Witch is available to stream now on Crunchyroll in a three-episode format. Here’s an overview of the series:
Historically 72% of all the deaths in London are related to dragons, fantastical beings invisible to the majority of the people. While unknown to most, some people have been standing up to these dragons.
Only inhabitants of Reverse London who live in the hidden “reverse” side of London can see the dragons. Even then, only a selected few become qualified enough as witches or wizards to make direct contact with them.
The protagonists of the story are witch duo Noel Niihashi and Ninny Spangcole. They are protection agents for Wing Bind (WB), an organization for dragon conservation and management. Their mission is to protect and manage the dragons within London on behalf of the people.
