Brave Witches is a Japanese anime TV series which aired in Japan in October 2016. The series was produced by Silver Link and Nippon Columbia, and directed by Kazuhiro Takamura. The show is a spin-off of the popular Strike Witches anime franchise, and is set in the same world as the original story. The series is available to watch on Funimation and Crunchyroll.

The story of Brave Witches is set in a world where humanity is at war with an alien race called the Neuroi. In order to defend themselves against these invaders, humans have developed a special type of weapon that allows witches to fight in the air. These witches, who are teenage girls, have magical powers that make them formidable warriors, and they fly through the air in order to engage in combat against the Neuroi.

The series focuses on the experiences of a group of witches who are stationed in the front lines of the war against the Neuroi. These women are known as the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing, or the "Brave Witches." The wing is made up of witches from different countries, and these women have come together in order to fight against the Neuroi.

The protagonist of the series is a witch named Hikari Karibuchi, who is the younger sister of another well-known witch. Hikari is a cheerful and energetic girl who is determined to become a strong witch in order to protect her country. She is sent to the front lines to join the Brave Witches, and she soon finds herself adapting to the challenges of war.

The other members of the Brave Witches are also introduced early on in the series. These characters come from various countries, and they all have unique personalities and abilities. For example, there is Naoe Kanno, a witch from Fuso who is known for her excellent marksmanship skills. There is also Aleksandra Ivanovna Pokryshkin, a witch from Orussia who is a skilled strategist and tactician.

Throughout the series, we see the Brave Witches engaging in combat with the Neuroi. These battles take place in the air, and the witches use their magical powers to fly and fight. The battles are tense and exciting, and they often result in casualties among the witches.

The characters in Brave Witches are given a lot of attention, and we see them interacting with each other in their free time. The series explores the relationships between the characters, and we get to see how they cope with the stresses of war. Despite the danger they face, the characters are able to find moments of joy and laughter, and these moments help to humanize them.

The animation in Brave Witches is well done, and the show features some impressive aerial battles. The character designs are also appealing, and the witches' uniforms are both stylish and functional. The music in the series is also noteworthy, and it adds to the tension and drama of the show.

Overall, Brave Witches is an entertaining anime series that should appeal to fans of the Strike Witches franchise. It features likable characters, thrilling aerial battles, and a solid story.
