About Brave Witches

Brave Witches (ブレイブウィッチーズ) blends action, ecchi and sci-fi by SILVER LINK. (2016). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The premise: As humanity's war with the Neuroi—an enigmatic, hostile alien race possessing weapons of unparalleled power—continues being fought across Europe and Africa, a new fighter squadron is formed. The 502nd Joint Fighter Wing, also known as the Brave Witches, operates on the eastern front, scouring the icy vastness of Orussia in search of alien invaders.

Beyond that: However, one of the Brave Witches' members suffers severe injuries on her way to the squadron's headquarters, rendering her unable to participate in any operations. As a result, her sister, Hikari Karibuchi, volunteers to take her place. Though not possessing any special abilities or significant magical abilities, she is determined to live up to the expectations of her new comrades and prove herself worthy of the name of a Witch.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Misato Fukuen as Yoshika Miyafuji and Ayuru Oohashi as Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
