Strike Witches

They have the same feeling like in the VO there is a 'Alone' while in the SW there is a 'Neuroi'. Also loli girls fighting it and flying. 

Bright color scheme in a futuristic utopia, until enemies come to invade. Protagonist is a young, eager girl who is always looking to help others, related to a scientist that seeks to better the lives of everyone around him. Drawing style is somewhat similar. Same ol' lolicon elements, too. Both are great. If you want to return to the Strike Witches world, with a couple of different twists, this is your show. If you want to see what Vividred was probably inspired by, this is your show. 

Both of these have girls fighting enemies to mankind. The main females in both don't wear pants on a regular basis. Both have a fairly out-going, kind (I guess) main character. Both have nice/similar animations.  

Both anime revolves girls who use machines and do aerial combat. 

During episode 1 of Vividred Operation, I had many moments where I though I was watching Strike Witches. They are very similar and I can already see that if you enjoy one, you will enjoy the other. 

From the same people, this anime has a heavy influence on to it such as girls fighting mechanical monsters, the military and navy, and tons of fanservice and Yuri into it. 

I'm excited for this with the Director from Strike Witches and he's doing the character designs! Basically Strike Witches meets Power Rangers!  

Girls flying. Aliens. Same art style. Panties. 

In an alternate timeline, humanity has struggle to fight these "Aliens" that is occupying around Earth. Thanks to the advance technology, scientist had created these power suits that will repel the alien invaders. These power suits are highly advance aerial dogfight combatants that will engage and eradicate the aliens, having the advantage for military support. There are funny moments, cute, yuri and fanservice. The difference is that Vividred take place in a future like setting, using a Vivid Power suit, and fight the aliens called "Alone". Strike Witches take place in history, where they use "Witches" as their suits, fighting "Neuroi". 

In many ways, Vividred Operation is the spiritual successor to Strike Witches. Despite the fact that Strike Witches leans more toward moe/military themes and Vividred Operation is more of a sci-fi oriented magical girl series, both share the common themes of love and friendship. Much like Strike Witches, Vividred Operation is a character-oriented series, and shares the same quality of character development as Strike Witches. It should also be noted that both main characters Yoshika Miyafuji and Akane Isshiki are both energetic in personality and strive to do their best despite the harsh circumstances. Both shows have their fair share of fanservice, however the fanservice is more present in Strike Witches, whereas Vividred Operation's fanservice is more tamed. If you want more action with your moe, you will not be disappointed with Strike Witches. However, if you're looking for something like Strike Witches that is a little lighter on the action, while still delivering the same quality of character development, then Vividred Operation will not disappoint. read more 

Searching for cute girls that protect people and world with sophisticated technology and magical power, this both anime is the answer. Both anime will tell you about group of girls fighting against evil creatures, and... with some fanservice event. Friendship and trust are growing for every battle they do. Recommended for people who like action and sci-fi genre with all MC are girls. 

Cute girls doing cute things. Taking place in a WWII setting where they enemies are unknown monsters 

Both titles are based on events of the Second World War. While the characters from KanColle are personified battleships, the characters from Strike Witches are based on famous WWII pilots.  

Both of these anime are reimaginations of events/elements of world war 2, tranformed into cute girls. Kancolle reimagines the naval battles while Strike Witches the airborne battles. 

Strike witches -main character is a girl without battle experience but got high expectation from leader -girls have magic power and using exo-suit -both fight againts enemy beyond human being -both fight in sea 

The whole girls fighting with machines against invading monsters prospect is the same in both shows. And both of the main characters are plain and normal but have great latent potential. So kancolle is just like strike witches with less echi.  

Both have beautiful very ecchi weapon girls who band together in a military to fight against a world take-over by the enemy.  

KanColle has girls with boat parts attached to their bodies, while Strike Witches has girls wearing plane propellers. The girls fight out in the sea in KanColle, and they fight in the air in Strike Witches. Both casts of characters are full of determines characters with their own quirky personalities. I think the Strike Witches leave a much bigger impression, though. The KanColle girls seem to fall a little flat, but they're not bad, and some of them may draw you in pretty quickly. Both have an original soundtrack with good battle music. The art is kind of similar, but KanColle has more slip ups, and the art style is not as well done. Mutsuki and Yoshika also have the same English voice actor. read more 

Both shows are about the same. Kantai is about girls/boats whilst strike witches is about girls/airplanes. 

Girls flying around with specialized equipment made only for them. Both shows even seem to have similar characters, with even some bearing striking resemblances to strike witches characters 

Both anime have an all girls mecha/flying army. 

If you observe properly, you would notice that the countries where the main characters came from are just the same. And you could also compare Laura Bodewig to Sakamoto Mio and also the fact that only girls can use the Striker unit/IS (Infinite Stratos) except that a man could use the IS. Strike witches is more better than IS: Infinite Stratos because the story is more focused. Unlike Infinite Stratos, Infinite Stratos only have a few episodes that is good and all the others is a joke. So if you want a more serious plot, watch Strike Witches. 

Girls in sci-fi action are themes of both series. Although Infinite Stratos falls into the harem genre due to the presence of a male protagonist, both series offers great sci-fi action and stunning OST. Comedy is also present. 

- both have compact machines that allow you to fight and fly - the main characters are new too the machines but have talent - the person who invented the machines in both series are someone close to one of the main characters - the machines in both series are mainly operated by girls using a unique power 

Both Mecha anime Both has a pinch of ecchi Only girls has the power to use the IS and Striker Unit They use the machines to save the places in danger  

- The power exceptional to females only, although IS included 1 suitable male - Both include some sort of machine battle suit - lots of action (dynamic air action) - clueless main protagonist who in the end gains the strongest power/battlesuit, whatever.  

Only one episode in but from what I can tell they are pretty similar as long as you change that Strike Witches is about fighting a war and Girls und Panzer is about a competition. 

well, the same Fumikane settings. Pretty girls and hardcore weapons in one. great if you enjoy the combination of girls with any robots, mecha and weapons. 

Both Anime consist of military aspects. Girls und Panzer goes on the tank side and Strike Witches goes on the plane side. But the only main difference is there is no magic in Girls und Panzer. Personally I believe that characters have the same characteristics and also play very similar roles, making them both very close in comparison. 

Girls who have high morale and great strategic skills can lead their comrades straight to victory. The series is known to have any World War 2 content in it such as the setting the show, or tanks that are used in combat. It features an all female cast that usually fight with their teammates, which they have a high morale of encouraging each other to win the fight. The male characters are often minor and have little presence in the series. The difference is that Strike Witches has several fan service scenes, and uses a suit that is aerial assault dogfight style fighting aliens. Girls und Panzar uses ground tank forces, and it is a competition show.  read more 

Fire, action and a lot of adrenaline are contained in both series! Strike Witches is not exactly the same of course, but remains the way allude nations without say the name specific of the country in fact, culture differences among the characters and so the military issues remains, funny in their own way but indeed very enjoyable. 

Both involve Moe girls in a military setting. Strike Witches is based on real WWII planes and magical Moe girls that based on ace pilot that flew those planes. Girls und Panzer involves WWII tanks on the ground.  

Both are series about Lolis flying mecha, or mecha based objects. 

Both feature strike forces of self-propelled flying lolis defending the planet from an alien threat. Similarly, these girls are around the same ages with similar character interaction and costuming between series. 

The girls are around the same age. In both shows, they come from different continents. Only girls are able to use the equipment in both shows, however, the guys do try to create aircraft that will outdo the girls' abilities. The enemy are an alien species that have many different forms in both shows. Both series are military anime. Both main lead girls have some sort of tie to the equipment, making it easy for them to use. They have a similar feel to them, so if you like one, I'm sure you'll like the other ;D  

Both of these anime contain a group of girls which fly though the sky with the help of new techology with the intention of helping people and the destruction of an alien force which threatens to destroy the world. Sky girls is more serious while Strike Witches has more of an comedy element and includes the use of magic.  

I am one of the biggest fans of Shimada Humikane's artwork and mecha musume in general and even I thought Sky Girls was terrible. Seriously, do yourself a favor and go watch Strike Witches. It's Sky Girls done right. 

Same flying soldier girls fight alien invaders, with slice of life. 

In both series Earth is under threat from alien beings which periodically appear, children are the only ones who can fight agianst them. 

Neuroi are angels. They're the same show, but one is more moe. 

The world is getting attacked by mysterious aliens that can only be defeated by destroying their cores. The most similar aspect of both shows is their OST, with incredible battle themes that play a big role in making the fights feel emotional. 

With the theme young girls in the military, Strike witches is great match for Sora no Woto. Both series take place an alternate universe, in which girls are the main characters and play the role of soldiers. While Sora no Woto takes place in a backwater town, Strike Witches' story plays on the frontline. In Sora no Woto the two nations Helvetia and the Roman Empire fight each other, in Strike Witches it's humanity against the alien race called neuroi. Both series place a heavy focus on the girls' everyday lives. The only main difference between the two series is that Strike Witches gets the most humor from ecchi scenes. If you don't like scenes with lots of pantyshots and female breasts in them, don't watch Strike Witches. But if you liked Sora no Woto you'll probably like Strike Witches too. read more 

they both have a group of girls with special talents in the military... the main character at first joins the group and some questions "why is she here?" because of how they look (not very reliable kind of way) and soon to realise that they improve pretty fast at flying/playing... as you watch the series all the characters now trusts/likes the main characters. also, the characters have similar personalities... strike witches is more focused on fighting in the air and it's set in the past (1944) even though it looks very futuristic.. and sora no woto is more focused on music (playing brass instuments) and it's set in the future but veeery old fashioned but if u watch them you'll understand why =) read more 

Same thing except flying. Both are military. So Ra No Wo To has some ecchi but not as strong as Strike witches though. 

While Strike Witches does lack the usage of mecha, both series still has quite a lot of similarities. Both series has strong and independent female characters who has their own goals/ambitions but the skills expected from the military. Speaking of which, both series involves a lot of military and their dealings against "aliens" or otherworldly beings throughout the series. Both series' main female protagonist has a strong will and often does her best for her friends and comrades placing their safeties above her own. Both series has science fiction themes that has advanced technology beyond our modern times. Both series has a lot of action, drama, some comedy, but also emotional moments. read more 

It's similar in a way because in both, they are being invaded by extra-terrestrials and use machines to fight them, Even though Strike Witches uses partial-body machines instead of the full-body ones. Another thing is in both, the main characters' father is the person that invented those machines. 

Both have girls recruited in somekind of military Both have aerial combat Both are trying to defend their country Both are dealing with an opposing force such as Neurois/BETAS Both have fanservice Both are very fun and amazing to watch as well, if you don't mind a bit of fanservice. 

Young girls with gun fighting for peace 

In both series, some young girls of various ages are trained and supervised by over graded members of an association for which they work for, in order to fight against a common ennemy. (Terrorists in Gunslinger Girl and Neuroi in Strike Witches.) In each of the series, the girls fight using overpowered abilities that they gained due either to their modified body (cyborg like...) in Gunslinger Girl or by using their magic power to operate "striker units" which it's the case in Strike Witches. 

Both have loli's and sci-fi style magic based systems. Both main characters start with zero battle experience. Both are dragged into a situation they never expected.  

Similarities -Both are magical girl series oriented to older audiences -Both have an MC who hasn't experience on battling, and later learns from it -Both have loli main and supporting characters Dissimilarities: -Strike Witches is ecchi and less "magical girl" compared to Nanoha -The girls from SW battle with guns instead of magical weapons 

Military anime involving characters that can use magic combined with technology to fly and project shields, used to fight in wars. In Youjo Senki, the war is against other humans and magic users. In Strike Witches, the war is against robotic aliens. 

Witch Girls combat aviation, a similar concept and setting 

Fun, but only thing i can say is that the plot of the strike witches is cramped in 1 season of brave witches. sad to see they made a cheap quicker version. could've gotten more plot out of it. still definitely worth watching it 

They both use WWII weapons (Ships / Fighter Planes) Both not set in reality (Futuristic Japan / Alternative History) Both have innocent, pure, cute main characters (Akeno / Yoshika) Lastly, cute animals! (Isoroku / all witches with their animal ears) I'll recommend it mostly because their plot seems similar, and the fact both of them have a deep connection to WWII elements, along with having a funny cast of characters, and their image of a "serious anime" easily being broken by the constant "Comedy Relief" (I mean, rice cooker being broken isn't gonna matter if your ship is going to sink). For plot-related reasons, they was a form of betrayal (such as the government in Strike Witches playing some evil role, which is familiar to the conspirator in High School Fleet causing all of Japan to ... go into panic mode) read more 

SW also have girls with guns and both main fem. prot. is similar in a way about their friends 

-Both Yoshika and Madoka want to protect what they love. -Fighting in the air. Strike Witches = Striker Units. Rinne no Lagrange = Robots. -Same goal. Trying to reach peace. -Both protagonists can be naive and stubborn at times (but usually for the better) 

Both have strong main characters people are in awe of. Both are some club type thing that is mostly girls. Similar characters: Saki=Yoshika because they are both really strong, the main characters, look alike, everyone is in awe of them, both have a close friend, they even look similar, both have special power Nodoka=Lynne because they are both close friends of the main character in the same sort of way Hisa (president)=Minna (commander) same attitude, look like identical twins, both hilarious yet good leaders strike witches has some funny characters like Erica Hartmann who is sooooo lazy it's hilarious! but when she has to she is awesomely strong
