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.

14, female, , adolescentAn adolescent (teenager) is 13 to 19 years old., brown eyesThe character has brown eyes., brown hairThe character has brown hair., hero complexA hero complex is a state of mind in which an individual believes they need to save or assist others, uphold morals, serve justice, or perform other such supposedly hero-like acts, often at any cost. They may feel personally accountable for any failure at those self-assigned duties. Their main concern is performing their supposedly heroic deeds; any questions others might raise about such actions are all secondary concerns at best., JapaneseA character originating from the island nation of Japan., physically strongIn comparison to the norm, someone who is physically strong possesses superior, sometimes even unnatural, physical strength. Said strength usually allows them to win fights, or at least to last longer; stronger people are also normally able to withstand harsh conditions more easily than the rest, and even do things as simple as carrying heavy weights around. 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., runningno description set, 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.

Skirts are often seen as garments for women, but exceptions exist. In anime, they`re almost always worn by women, generally as school uniform or workplace garments, and a man with one will likely be cross-dressing. Skirts that go below the knee are usually associated with strict rules and at times with winter, though even in winter anime schoolgirls in miniskirts can be found., yellow hairThe character has yellow hair. This does not map precisely to real-life blond hair.
