 A theatrical anime adaptation of the Burn the Witch one-shot was announced during the Bleach 20th Anniversary Project & Tite Kubo New Project Presentation livestream on Saturday. The anime will debut in Fall 2020.Synopsis 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. (Source: Official site) Voice actresses Yuina Yamada (Anima Yell!, Kuromukuro) and Asami Tano (Zombieland Saga, Love Live!

| The animation looks so smooth. I never expected Colorido doing a project like this, but I'm not complaining at all. |
| This looks fucking gorgeous! Got some damn good staff working on this. Studio Colorido are really giving this the look it needed ^^ I'm beyond hyped! |

| I remember reading the one shot and actually liking it. I really hope they give the characters more expressive faces from early Bleach over the permanent constipated looks every character had on their face starting from the Hueco Mundo arc |
 |
| Yes, yes, yes, I so wanted this one-shot to get a longer serialization and an anime adaptation of any kind as well, thank you!. |
 |
| Don't mind a Movie one bit! Fluid animation and an interesting duo on first glance, looks like this'll be a fun ride. |

| The one shot was really enjoyable so def looking forward to the anime adaptation and the continuation of the series in manga form. |
 |
| Gotta say the trailer looks good, but surprised that this one-shot will be animated, it was really mediocre at best. Mb serialization will be better ... |
 |
Viz said: probably even less, since kubo said the manga will be finished by the time anime released.Heard the serialization will gonna be pretty short, like about 5 volumes? Is that true? |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Never read the one-shot, but this trailer for the movie looks solid. Both main characters look beautiful too. Looking forward to this, may even read the one-shot before touching the movie. |
 |
| This is the year of Kubo. First Sakura Taisen, then Bleach and then this. Our King has returned. I don't know anything about the manga, but the trailer as well as the really talented staff make me confident, that this will be some good shit. Plus these two girls are cute. |
| Looks kinda interesting, could someone who read the one shot, tell me if it has any gore? |

Dauphine said: just your usual action shounen, nothing too gory.Looks kinda interesting, could someone who read the one shot, tell me if it has any gore? |
"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| It is unusual to see so few salty people in this thread. When this title was first translated, I saw people who literally hated Kubo for not being yuri. |
 |
| if it's kubo tite I would definitely say yes. I hope it can be as fun as witchcraft. |
natsuxerza said: watch more shounen if you consider bleach gory, LMAOKuma said: actually if its anything like bleach it can get pretty gory, like bleach is an anime that was super censored just your usual action shounen, nothing too gory. |
"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| I really want a good story and live characters! |
| May be some anime? |
