Now, let's delve into everything we currently know about this highly anticipated prequel series.

Burn The Witch #0.8 release date

Burn The Witch #0.8 will premiere worldwide on December 29, 2023.

The anime’s official twitter revealed this release date, a new trailer and the first key visual (much to fan’s excitement) ahead of its premiere.

The official streaming platform has yet to be announced. But it’s likely to be available on Crunchyroll, as the first season is available for viewing there.

Burn The Witch #0.8 plot

The upcoming series is based on the prequel manga titled "Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover," which was released on October 2, 2020.

"Burn The Witch" is a spin-off of the popular "Bleach" series, set in a unique version of London known as Reverse London. This alternate universe introduces viewers to a world where dragons exist. Before London and its Reverse world split, these dragons were accountable for 72% of human fatalities. However, there's a fascinating twist: only witches and wizards of the Wing Bind can see them.

Enter our protagonists, Ninny Spangcole and Noel Niihashi, a dynamic duo and agents of the Wing Bind. Their ambition drives them to climb the ranks within their organization and reap the financial rewards. However, their path won't be a walk in the park. They are now faced with a new mission, one that may seem mundane (babysitting), but it involves protecting a young man named Balgo Ywain Parks and his Pomeranian companion, Osushi, from the menacing dragons. Will Ninny and Noel successfully accomplish this daunting task?
