The first PV for the 3rd Strike Witches TV series “Brave Witches” has unveiled its new wondrous witches in all their lovable kemonomimi glory, demonstrating the show will contain more aerial alien extermination and, of course, an abundance of pantsu like things.

The PV also confirms that the series will indeed air this year, so those starved of the anime’s staple non-pantsu action will only need to suffer for a short while yet.
These girls are hardly new.
It’s the 502 unit which where also shown in the last movie which also showed girls from the 506 unit.
The original anime was about unit 501 but also showed unit 504.
There are several other units some are featured in the light novels and anime.
I love the 502nd from what I know about them and I think I will enjoy this season more than about the 501st. I also hope Sanya and Eila will make an appearance due to not having an OVA.
Disappointing. Their pantsu should be showing.
Why do these new Strike Witches remind me so much of the old cast in terms of appearance?
If you’ve been drowning in anime/manga long enough, EVERYTHING starts to remind you of something else, if not looking like something else. You start to feel everything seems familiar some how.
To the point where sometimes you can guess the type of series you’re getting into based on the artwork because you’re familiar with the artist’s works and which studio and staff tend to work with said artist.
Also, these people know what drives fans: More of the same, just slightly different. Humans are creatures of habit, after all.
Sincerely hope that they not gonna add in spoiled brat kid shota like Julius for female fan service as he totally ruined Perrine Clostermann’s turn in last OVA. The left over strong impression for the show is the fucking shota ruined the show.
