Burn the Witch tells the story of Ninny Spangcole and her partner, Noel Niihash who live ordinary lives in London but things are quite different in 'Reverse London' as they are witches for an organization called Wing Bind.
Wing Bind is an organization filled with witches that exterminate humankind's worst threat, the beasts and dragons which are similar to Bleach's Holos. These Grotesque dragons can't be seen by normal human beings so it's Ninny and Noel's job to protect the people of London.

The three-episode film is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
