The mixed-media franchise began with a manga in 2005, and a light novel series in 2006, both of which focus on different characters from the eventual Strike Witches anime.
The franchise also spawned the Brave Witches anime last October, as well as numerous spinoff manga, novels, and games.
The cast of both the Strike Witches and Brave Witches anime announced during the “Minna to Issho ni Dekiru Koto!
Fes” live event on August 19 that the Strike Witches franchise will launch a 10th anniversary project in 2018, a decade after the first television anime’s airing.
