The official website for the Strike Witches franchise revealed the theme songs, a key visual, and the April 9 premiere on Tuesday for the anime adaptation of Makoto Fujibayashi’s Strike Witches 501 Butai Hasshinshimasu! (Strike Witches 501st Unit, Taking Off!) manga.
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 franchise also spawned the Brave Witches anime in October 2016, as well as numerous spinoff manga, novels, and games.
