World Witches Hasshin Shimasu!

Just about six or seven years ago, Strike Witches is one of the most popular anime ever. Following the hot trend of magical girls fighting unknown alien forces, mixing a 'subtle' level of ecchi-ness with captivating slice of life while fighting different kind of monsters every weeks, I would dare to say Strike Witches is the best of its kind.

But a lack of directional choices and various other reasons has sunk its popularity to ashes. A lot of fellow pantsu-lovers have moved on to the not necessarily better harem isekai trash, but I'm still here. I never move on, still waiting digilently. God granted my ... wishes, Brave Witches and Road to Berlin has come, but it's lacking something, seems like Strike Witches will never be the same. I need to see their lovely pantsu and luckily World Witches has saved me, 2021 is not such a bad year after all.

So as you can see, World Witches is a short 12 episodes about our lovely witches when they didn't have to fight the Neuroi. Lazy writing from the director but I don't blame him since World Witches is really fun. They maintained all the qualities of why I love Strike Witches and Brave Witches so much.

Just like the hilarious Isekai Quartet, the interactions between the 501st and 502st witches are absolutely witty and priceless. Since it's short, the story runs with a fast pace so you will never get bored and just keep binging the next ep until the ends. I hope they released another season of this heart-warming stuffs.

Overall, fan will be rejoice under this latest addition to the franchise. I do hope they will do a season when both the 501st and 502st fight together, would be so epic.

Ahhh, its only been half a year since RTB was released, and we already got another World Witches anime.

Overall I felt, this took what worked in the SW Take Off and made it better. The comedy between the characters helped move this show along, and it has multiple references to other World Witches media. Lots of other Easter Eggs are sprinkled throughout the show as well. Its very easy to pick up and watch, especially if you are a World Witches fan.

While the art and animation wasn't the highest quality, the style can occasionally bring out some of the humor in this show. The ... OP
and ED's were animated better than expected. The story wasn't the best, but I didn't expect it to be, as the show focuses more on the humorous side's and stereotypes of the Witches. Otherwise than those two things, WW Take Off is great.

If you are a fan of the series or like military moe, this is a solid, quick anime to enjoy. The comedy is great between characters, and its a great addition to a decade+ series.



P.S. For the love of god, give us more Brave Witches already

World Witches Hasshin Shimasu! (2021)

After finishing on a high with Return to Berlin the people that organise this show give us this. Was it needed? No. Was it good? Not really. Was it extremely sub-par animation purely to make money? Yes, absolutely.

At least with Strike Witches: 501 Butai Hasshin Shimasu! which is arguably the direct season link to this show that the first one was good. It felt like you were tripping out heavily watching that show. This one just doesn't give me that at all. The story is just so bland and could have been Okay with just cute girls do cute things. ...

The animation is so below par. Especially when you compare to the season this is linked to. You go from a trippy experience with a story to this disaster. It is watchable don't get me wrong.

The soundtrack has some fan favourites along with the mellow song often played.

Character development is minimal. You really shouldn't watch this without seeing everything else to understand who everyone really is.

The show, in the end, is a solid 4/10. It was an Okay show that really could have been better but just fails to meet the expectation. It is watchable though. I will say episode 8 was pretty hilarious.
