posted on by Adriana Hazra
Muse Asia announced on Tuesday that it will stream the League of Nations Air Force Aviation Magic Band Luminous Witches (Renmei Kūgun Kōkū Mahō Ongakutai Luminous Witches) television anime series on YouTube on July 3 at 6:30 p.m. IST.
Alongside India, the anime will stream in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Pakistan.
Muse Asia describes the anime:
A unique wing that travels around the world to bring some respite and mend the heart of those who fight against Neuroi and those who were chased away from their hometown.
The Allied Air Force Aviation Music Corps, Luminous Witches.
That is the identity of these girls.
An aviation corps that is the exact opposite of the Joint Fighter Wing Witches who fights to protect people, they don't fight, but they protect people's smile with music!
That is these girls, Federation's Magic Aviation Music Corps, Luminous Witches.
The anime will premiere on Japan on AT-X, Tokyo MX, KBS Kyoto, and Sun TV on July 3; on TV Aichi on July 4; and on BS NTV on July 5.
The anime's production committee delayed the anime's premiere date to 2022 due to "various circumstances." The anime was previously slated to premiere in 2021. Kadokawa announced the anime project in 2018.
The story is a spinoff of the Strike Witches franchise, and centers on a unique squadron of "witches who don't fight." Instead, the squadron sing and perform music to protect the smiles of those who have been driven out of their hometowns by the Neuroi.
