The only characters we really see use magic for anything else are our protagonist and her sister who have the ability to detect the Neuroi cores. Other characters get features that resemble animals such as bunnies, dogs, or cats. For example, the lead character Hikari Karibuchi gets squirrel characteristics while her sister Takami gets little wings on her head that resemble crane wings. Oh, and whenever they use their magic, they grow ears and a tail for some reason – each character featuring their own distinct animalistic focus. Magic mostly just allows them to utilize special flight units and allows their guns to damage the Neuroi. You see, in the world of Brave Witches, magic isn’t as magical as you might expect. Brave Witches takes a more light-hearted approach to the genre, focusing on a squad of witches and their odd magical contraptions. They both have witches, and they both take place in World War 2-era Earth… beyond that, everything else diverges. In the end, the similarities listed above really are as deep as the connection goes. Will Brave Witches be able to live up to the bar set by this season’s other World War 2 witch show? Or maybe you should worry, since Izetta was quite good. Don’t worry though, it’s not the same show.

Yep, you heard me… 1940s alternate history. Fortunately, young girls with magical power called Witches appear to combat this threat! These ‘Neuroi’ appear out of nowhere and start taking over parts of the world, and humanity’s primitive 1940s technology is insufficient to do them harm. The world is suddenly invaded by a strange species of aliens.
