1939. Humanity was faced with the sudden appearance of a mysterious foe. They called it the Neuroi. In the blink of an eye, the Neuroi successfully invaded most of Europe, destroying many people's homes and conquering nations. To combat the Neuroi humanity developed a new weapon, the flying Striker Units, that could only be used by Witches — girls with magical power. Witches across the world gathered to use these Striker Units against the Neuroi. A unit of these Witches was formed: the Allied Forces' 502nd Joint Fighter Wing, called the Brave Witches.
In September of 1944, thanks to the actions of the Allied Forces, with the 501st Joint Fighter Wing "Strike Witches" at their centre, the Neuroi nest in the skies above the Republic of Gallia was eliminated, ensuring the security of western Europe. The Allied Forces took advantage of this victory to go on the offensive in central and eastern Europe. At their base in Petersburg in the Empire of Orussia, the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing "Brave Witches" prepared to receive orders to deploy... With the hope of mankind resting on their shoulders, the courageous Witches of the 502nd take to the cold skies over eastern Europe.

If you like Strike Witches, you'll love this one. It shifts focus to a different unit called the 502nd in a different battlefront, but it has all of the same elements as Strike Witches.

Brave Witches follows the concept of Strike Witches where the battle moves to Western Europe instead of Eastern Europe. I thought since I had already seen Strike Witches, I'd be bored of this series since its the same stuff just different characters, but I enjoy this more. The character development is good, pacing is decent and overall enjoyment is satisfying. There are many references and character cameos from Strike Witches in this anime, but Brave Witches regardless if you're a new fan or not... you'll have fun watching this series.

I will start this of with writing: are you a fan of original Strike Witches series or new to Witches?
If you are the former, you might end up in same spot I was. You will probably or with certainty start comparing both series from the get go (most likely like me, you will start off with characters). Here is the deal: I would not recommend to watch it for main character. However, main series brought my attention (I mean Strike Witches) to side characters which were briefly introduced there: Nikka, Naoe, Aleksandra and Edytha, so if you want to broaden your knowledge on side characters from Strike Witches do watch Brave Witches :).
If you're the latter aka someone completely new without prior knowledge to Witches, you can watch this series without worries. It's a fun, easy to follow anime.

This tag also applies when a race is stronger than others (think the Sayajin), as long as said weaker races are also a part of the cast., real squirrel earsThe character has real squirrel ears., runningno description set, tailThe tail is the section at the rear end of an animal`s body; in general, the term refers to a distinct, flexible appendage to the torso.

17, female, , anti-materiel rifleA type of high-caliber rifle designed to damage and destroy lightly armoured vehicles. Needles to say those make short work of anything armored less than a tank (i.e. humans). Some double as sniper rifles, but scope isn`t mandatory. This weapon evolved from anti-tank rifle which stopped serving it`s original purpose when tanks got thicker armor., brown eyesThe character has brown eyes., brown hairThe character has brown hair., hair ribbonHair ribbons are ribbons used both as hair decorations and as hair ties. Hair ribbons are often tied into bows. They may also be present as part of a hairband.

Together with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, they are part of the family Hominidae. Terrestrial animals, humans are characterized by their erect posture and bipedal locomotion; high manual dexterity and heavy tool use compared to other animals; open-ended and complex language use compared to other animal communications; larger, more complex brains than other animals; and highly advanced and organized societies., protection complexA character has a protection complex if the character is overly protective of other characters, beyond what would be considered a "normal" or "expected" duty of care.
The magnitude of overprotection can vary. It can be as low as constantly nagging someone to "stay safe". It can be as extreme as the protector making it their mission in life to protect the other character., school swimsuitA school swimsuit (also known as sukumizu, shorthand for school mizugi) is a standardised navy blue one-piece swimsuit worn by schoolgirls. Typically they also have a name tag on the front. Sukumizu can also be black or white., swimsuitA swimsuit is a garment designed to be worn by people engaging in water-based activities or sports or during certain activities under sunlight. Most kinds of swimsuit reveal a large portion of the body surface area. In anime, it is common for at least one episode to feature the characters in swimsuits, usually as an excuse for gratuitous fanservice; swimsuits, particularly one-piece swimsuits, are a very common fetish in Japan. One-off appearances of characters in swimsuits should not be tagged.

17, female, adolescentAn adolescent (teenager) is 13 to 19 years old., archeryArchery is the art, practice, or skill of shooting arrows with a bow. A person who participates in archery is an archer. Archery has been used for hunting, but through most of human history its main use was for combat.
