Maria the Virgin Witch is a fantasy anime series set in medieval France during the Hundred Years War. Produced by Production I.G and directed by Goro Taniguchi, it aired from January to March 2015 and has been licensed by FUNimation for distribution in North America.

The show centers around the titular character Maria, a powerful witch who lives in the countryside and uses her magic to help the common people. She is also a virgin who has made a vow to never fall in love or have sex, which causes conflicts with both the Church and other witches who view her as a threat.

The story begins when Archangel Michael appears before Maria and tells her that her meddling in human affairs has caught the attention of Heaven, and that she must stop using her magic or face divine punishment. Maria, however, refuses to back down and continues to help people with her powers, leading to a conflict with the Church led by the zealous Inquisitor Bernard, who sees all witches as tools of the devil.

Meanwhile, Maria's actions attract the attention of two young soldiers from opposing sides of the war, the Frenchman Joseph and the Englishman Ezekiel. As they get to know each other, they begin to question the senselessness of the war and contemplate whether there is a way for both sides to coexist peacefully.

The show deals with themes of love, war, religion, and morality, exploring the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of our actions. As Maria continues to defy the Church and Michael, she finds herself increasingly isolated and targeted, but refuses to give up her beliefs and her desire to help others.

The animation style of Maria the Virgin Witch is colorful and expressive, with fluid action sequences and detailed character designs that capture the medieval setting. The musical score, composed by Masato Koda, is epic and orchestral, adding to the sense of drama and scale.

The voice acting is also top-notch, with Aoi Yuki delivering a fantastic performance as Maria, bringing both strength and vulnerability to the character. Other notable cast members include Yoko Hikasa as the fiery Inquisitor Bernard and Kenta Miyake as the gruff but lovable Joseph.

Overall, Maria the Virgin Witch is a unique and engaging anime series that defies conventions and asks tough questions about the nature of war and the role of religion in society. Fans of fantasy and historical drama will find much to enjoy in this thought-provoking and visually stunning show.

Maria the Virgin Witch is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (12 episodes). The series first aired on January 1, 2015.
