Luminous Witches Bring Peace With Their Singing in Anime’s Third Trailer

Luminous Witches, the upcoming anime from SHAFT, revealed a third trailer during the AnimeJapan 2022 earlier today. The anime begins airing in July 2022.

Luminous Witches’ main cast includes:

• Rio Mamesaki as Joanna Elizabeth Stafford
• Ami Aimoto as Lyudmila Andreyevna Ruslanova
• Misaki Yuki as Manaia Matawhaura Hato
• Kana Furunaka as Maria Magdalene Dietrich
• Minako Hosokawa as Inori Shibuya
• Mai Narumi as Virginia Robertson
• Rino Yoshikita as Silvie Carriello
• Ryo Mamiya as Aira Payvikki Linnamar
• Sayaka Tsuzuki as Eleonore Giovanna Gassion
• Mikako Komatsu as Grace Maitland Steward

The Luminous Witches anime is the newest addition to the World Witches mix-media project, created by Fumikane Shimada. The project took off by focusing on the Strike Witches franchise. Unlike Strike Witches, Luminous Witches don’t fight Neuroi head-on. Instead, they use music to protect and bring joy to those who lost their homes in the war.

Shouji Saeki is directing the anime. Saeki previously worked as a director on Assault Lily: Bouquet, Medaka Box, Wish Upon the Pleiades, and more. Kazuya Shiotsuki (Gourmet Girl Graffiti) is doing character designs for the anime. In addition to the work as a character designer, Shiotsuki also worked as chief animation director on titles such as March Comes In like a Lion.
