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.
