Premise: A sequel series to Strike Witches. Humanity continues its war against the alien Neuroi using girls with magic powers. Karibuchi Hikari, despite her weak abilities, nevertheless joins the Brave Witches Squadron after her sister is injured in a Neuroi attack.

The Good: I liked Hikari well enough. Shes the standard anime protagonist who always tries to do her best.

The Bad: I wasnt a huge fan of Strike Witches to begin with. The Neuroi are mindless, aimless, blob-shaped creatures and none of the battles involving them are interesting. Brave Witches still managed to take all the negatives from the franchise and somehow surpass them. The characters in Strike Witches were mostly flat, each defined by one or two gimmicks, but I still at least knew their names. In Brave Witches, I honestly couldnt tell you anything meaningful about half the squad. I also hated a few of the ones they bothered to develop, with Hikaris sister being particularly terrible once she finally showed up.

Overall: Watching flat characters who never wear pants fight mindless blobs is all the Witches franchise ever was, but Brave Witches approached that premise in the worst way possible. The comedy bits werent funny, and the battles never had any tension. Strike Witches at least had a few neat moments.

COMING UP TOMORROW:
238: This anime wants to die, and Im happy to kill it.
237: This anime died because it couldnt make me laugh.
