Luminous Witches has received its second trailer, over a year after a “short trailer” in April 2020. The trailer features the song “Sora ni Chikau Kara” (“Because We Made an Oath in the Sky”), which is the third single of the Luminous Witches idol unit.
The anime was first announced in 2018. It was meant to release in 2021 but was delayed to 2022 in August.
Apart from the delay, the last few months saw two of the anime’s cast members retiring from their roles. Miu Kotosaka, who originally voiced Sylvie Cariello, retired in September due to health reasons. Kyou Tachibana, who was the voice of Joanna Elizabeth Stafford, announced in October that she was retiring from the role to focus on her studies.
Luminous Witches‘s current cast includes Mai Narumi as Virginia Robertson, Minako Hosokawa as Inori Shibuya, Ami Aimoto as Lyudmila Andreyevna Ruslanova, Ryou Mamiya as Aila Päivikki Linnamaa, Tsuzuki Sayaka as Éléonore Giovanna Gassion, Kana Konaka as Maria Magdalene Dietrich, and Misaki Yuuki as Manaia Matawhaura Hato.
Luminous Witches, which is set in the same universe as Strike Witches, follows a group of Witches who do not fight, but instead use song and music to “protect everyone’s smiles.” The main character is the mysterious Virginia “Genie” Robertson, who possesses the traits of a Night Witch.
The staff includes Shouji Saeki (Assault Lily BOUQUET) as director and series composer, Kana Shundou (Princess Connect! Re: Dive, Assault Lily BOUQUET imageboarder) as assistant director, Fumikane Shimada (Strike Witches) as original character designer, and Kazuya Shiotsuki (Assault Lily BOUQUET sub-character designer and co-animation director) as character designer.
Other staff include Mina Ootaka (Sword Art Online Alicization – War of Underworld animation director) as familiar designer, Jin Hibino (Assault Lily BOUQUET, Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story Season 2 -The Eve of Awakening-) as color designer, Rei Egami (Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story Season 2 -The Eve of Awakening-) as photography director, and Gou Wakabayashi (So I’m a Spider, So What?) as music producer. SHAFT is the animation production company, while KADOKAWA is the music production company.
The Luminous Witches idol unit, which is composed of the anime’s main cast, was formed in 2019 and released their first single, “Flying Skyhigh,” in August 2020. “Sora ni Chikau Kara” was released in June 2021.
