The official website for the Strike Witches franchise began streaming a promotional video for the anime adaptation of Makoto Fujibayashi’s Strike Witches 501 Butai Hasshinshimasu! (Strike Witches 501st Unit, Taking Off!) manga on Saturday.
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.
Shinya Murakami (Strike Witches 2, Strike Witches: Operation Victory Arrow, High School Fleet) is returning to handle series literature.
The new Strike Witches: Road to Berlin television anime will premiere in 2020, and the new Idol Witches (temporary title) television anime will premiere in 2021.
