World Witches is a Shared Universe created by Fumikane Shimada. Beginning with Strike Witches in 2008, World Witches has since spun off into a mixed-media franchise, with the primary focus on the adventures of the 501st and 502nd Joint Fighter Wings. The franchise involves humanity fighting back against alien invaders called the Neuroi, who've started their invasion throughout history. Generally, regular weapons are useless against these invaders but, girls with magical powers are capable of defeating the Neuroi. They've been given the name Witches. Come the 20th Century, Witches have been given a particular weapon to help fight the Neuroi called "Striker Units" which are mechanized legs based on airplanes and tanks that allow them to utilize their magical powers while generally using firearms. In addition to aliens and girls with magical powers, this franchise has one notable quirk - the girls don't wear pants.

The Cameo

comment
The Cameo: Since World Witches is a Shared Universe, characters frequently make a quick appearance in works outside their own sub-franchise. For example, Yoshika Miyafuji briefly appears in Brave Witches as a nurse who heals Takami Karibuchi.

Bittersweet Ending: Each of the Strike Witches anime's three seasons end with Yoshika returning to the 501st JFW and helping them liberate the countries (Gallia for the first season, Romagna for the second season and Karlsland for the third season). However, the ongoing war with the Neuroi is far from over.

The '40s: Most of the World Witches works are set in an alternate version of the 1940s.

Alternate History

Alternate History: According to official artbooks, while history went normally in the BC era, the divergence began when Julius Caesar survived his assassination and went to become Emperor of the Roman Empire, ultimately leading to the series proper where several countries have different names and different borders and World War II is replaced with fighting off an alien invasion, with all of the witches based on real WWII pilots, including General Chuck Yeager. More divergences in history included Chingiz Khan becoming the Mongol Emperor, a war between the Mongol Empire and the kingdoms of Karlsland (Germany), Oda Nobunaga escaping his assassination thanks to Mori Ranmaru being a witch, unifying Fuso (Japan) and defeating the Spanish Armada, and the Britannia East India Company battling the Dutch and their Fuso mercenary allies for the spice routes which later led to two Britannia-Fuso wars before both nations made peace and became allies.

Anime Accent Absence: The series has a Multinational Team, but not a single foreigner (in both the Japanese and English dub) speak in a noticeable regional accent.
