Exploring the Burn the Witch Universe
For those who might not be familiar with the world of Burn the Witch, Crunchyroll streamed the initial Burn the Witch movie and provided the following synopsis: “Historically, 72% of all deaths in London are linked to dragons, enigmatic creatures invisible to most people. However, some brave souls have risen to confront these dragons. Only the residents of Reverse London, who inhabit the concealed ‘reverse’ side of the city, possess the ability to see these dragons. Even then, only a select few become qualified as witches or wizards, enabling them to engage with these formidable beings. The story revolves around the witch duo of Noel Niihashi and Ninny Spangcole, who serve as protection agents for Wing Bind (WB), an organization dedicated to the conservation and management of dragons within London, acting on behalf of the populace.”
