About

You can stream Strike Witches (2008) on Crunchyroll with a subscription.

The year is 1939 - it was then that the Neuroi appeared. Nobody knows where they came from or what their ultimate agenda is, but the fact remains that their attacks drove people out of their towns and cities. In order to take arms against them, humanity develops a new anti-Neuroi weapon called the "Striker Unit." Using the power of magic to fight against the monsters, this new device enhances and amplifies the power of female magic-wielders. To use this device, young witches from all over the world have been brought together to form an elite task force unit called the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, commonly known as the "Strike Witches."

A spirited voice performance breathes life into these magical pilots as they strap mechanical legs to their feet to battle alien invaders. This frantic blend of aerial dogfights and slapstick humor turns a desperate wartime struggle into pure, unadulterated chaos.
