Brave Witches

Some "copypasta", wish I was less OCD and could tap out of a series..

The story is predicable, worse than the "Strike Witches", making it painful to watch.

Combat with the Alien Invaders quickly become repetitive, there is no real threat and when they could make things more interesting with standard military losses it's all whitewashed and ignored.

Animation is worse as well, irregularities in sizing, some spots that seem overly CGI'ed for shortcuts in the animation and generally bland.

Add in I'm not a fan of the Lolicon/Hebephilia genre, the young girls running around with frequent lower torso zooms is a serious detractor in my opinion.

Overall it's a soft pass, not the worst I've seen, but down in the bottom 20%.

I was excited to hear we were getting more "seasons" of Strike Witches, but compared to the original anime, this spinoff disappoints.

Brave Witches minimizes the fanservice panty shots, if that's your bag, but it also takes the plot much more seriously, which in my mind makes the show a lot less fun. Everything is treated a lot more straight-faced. Presumably this (and the removal of panties shots) is because they've decided they can make more money off the franchise now/they want to be taken more seriously. Which is fine I guess, but not what made SW fun in the first place.
