"Do you want to... peer deeper?"
— Nina
ArtisWitch is an original web anime created through a collaboration between Sunrise and Japanese music talent agency Asobi System about a witch-in-training named Nina who runs a shop that reveals the inner wishes of her clients. These wishes in question are often artistic in nature.
Each episode concerns a new character's internal struggles. Each of them visit the shop to "peer deeper" and get thrusted into a visually striking acid trip, accompanied by music.
All six episodes can be officially seen on YouTube here
. After the original airing the channel focuses on producing music videos. Has an official website.
This show provides examples of:
- Acid-Trip Dimension: This show is the master of this. Once an episode, the main client visits one to discover their inner wish.
- Costume Porn: All of the clients have shades of this in the Acid-Trip Dimension sequences, with a minor inversion with Akihiro from Episode 3, whose outfit in the magic dimension is somewhat plainer than the girls.
- Cute Witch: Nina is one in training.
- Elegant Gothic Lolita: Ruru from Episode 4 is this, with Nina sporting a similar dress during said episode.
- Familiar: Nina has Pig and Chameleon keeping her company and guiding her with running her new shop.
- Incompatible Orientation: Somewhat inverted in Episode 5 with Tiara and Saki. Tiara, a lesbian, wants a monogamous relationship with Saki. While Saki does like women, she's not interested in being exclusive with any one person, making the two incompatible romantically.
- Magical Girl: The series focuses on Nina using her magic to help those who come across her shop realize their true desires and give them the resolve to achieve those goals.
- Transformation Sequence: Nina has one during Episode 1.
