Strike Witches's Spin-Off 'Luminous Witches' Release Date, Key Visual Announced
Luminous Witches is a spin-off anime of the Strike Witches franchise that has spanned anime, light novels, and manga entries for over a decade. The Luminous Witches anime was supposed to premiere in 2021, however, it was delayed until this year.
The Luminous Witches television show will feature a group of witches who refuse to fight; instead they sing to bring joy to those who have been affected by the Neuroi, who gain energy from quite literally swallowing up land and leaving many residents in the world of the Strike Witches franchise homeless. The original Strike Witches franchise was known online for its cute cat girls and over-the-top panty shots, however, it won the Jury Selection in the Animation Division of the 12th Japan Media Arts Festival.
The key visual has been released for Luminous Witches, featuring the main characters flying high in the sky with the infamous Striker Units, unique flying machines that go over the legs of the user. It features the full ensemble for the idol-themed spin-off, and the characters are designed by Humikana Shimada, the same character designer as the original Strike Witches franchise.
