Izetta: The Last Witch (終末のイゼッタ Shūmatsu no Izetta?, lit. Izetta of the End, also transcribed as Izetta, Die Letzte Hexe) is a 2016 Japanese television anime series. The project was announced through the opening of an official website and a video on June 10, 2016. The series, produced by Ajia-do Animation Works and directed by Masaya Fujimori, began airing on October 1, 2016.
Set in an alternate Earth on the eve of the Second World War, the story follows Izetta, the last surviving member of a clan of witches that possesses the ability to magically manipulate any object that they touch. Izetta pledges to help protect Princess Finé and the tiny Alpine country of Eylstadt from invasion by the imperialistic forces of Germania.
Eylstadt is a small, alpine principality whose capital is Landsbruck (actual German spelling: Landsbrück). The country's location is based on what is western Austria today consisting of the states Tyrol and Vorarlberg, and its capital based on Innsbruck. The motto of its national flag reads "Ich bin tapfer und bin fromm" (literal translation: "I am valiant and am pious"). Their military equipment is patterned largely after the French Army's from the time between World War I and II. Germania intends to conquer Eylstadt simply to open a shorter road to their ally, the Romulus Federation, enabling a joint invasion of the Mediterranean and Africa.
Germania is a powerful military country based on Nazi Germany, although it is portrayed as a monarchical empire similar to the pre-war German Empire. Its capital bears the name Neu-Berlin, and its appearance is patterned after Albert Speer's designs for Hitler's new "World Capital Germania". Its military standard is a diagonally shifted Balkenkreuz with a short dagger blade replacing one of its arms.
