Sci-fi fantasy series streamed on Crunchyroll

Sentai Filmworks announced on Friday that it has licensed the anime adaptation of Lynn Okamoto's Byrnhildr in the Darkness (Gokukoku no Brynhildr) manga. The company plans to release the series digitally and on home video.

The 13-episode series aired this past spring and Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired.

Sentai Filmworks describes the series:

A high school senior Murakami Ryota had a childhood friend called Kuroneko who died in an accident. Ryota had made a promise with Kuroneko that he will prove there are aliens in the universe. In order to fulfill his promise, he joined the astronomy club at the school as its only member and kept observing the stars almost every night. One day, a girl who looks like Kuroneko transferred into his class. To his surprise, the girl's name is Kuroha Neko which is really similar to his childhood friend's name. However it seems that there is something unusual about her. It turns out that she is a witch who actually escaped from a research laboratory.
