    Synopsis:

    In a world scarred by conflict, humanity confronts the Neuroi – an enigmatic alien force wielding devastating weaponry. The 502nd Joint Fighter Wing, known as the Brave Witches, are a vital defense against this ongoing war, operating on the frozen eastern front of Orussia. The narrative centers on Hikari Karibuchi, a determined individual who steps into the role of a pilot for the squadron. Driven by a desire to honor her fallen comrade and earn acceptance amongst her peers, Hikari navigates the challenges of aerial combat without possessing inherent special abilities.

    The series explores themes of duty, resilience, and the weight of responsibility in the face of overwhelming adversity. Set against a backdrop of desolate landscapes and intense aerial battles, it examines the psychological toll of war on those who fight it, emphasizing the courage found not in extraordinary power, but in unwavering determination. The story unfolds with a focus on character development and the bonds forged within a unit facing impossible odds.
