The third teaser visual and third promotional video for "Maebashi Witches," a new original anime by Bandai Namco Filmworks' SUNRISE Studios, have been released. The story is set in Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture, and follows the coming-of-age story of five high school girls as they aim to become witches, and how they grow as they face various problems. The third teaser visual is inspired by Maebashi City's catchphrase, "A city of water, greenery, and poetry," and depicts a scene at Dreamy Dreamy Flower, a flower shop that is an important element in the story.
