* WorstAid: Yoshika attempts to use her HealingHands on a sailor in the 2nd episode that likely has broken ribs and shrapnel lodged in his torso. She's told to stop by another sailor who knows she's only making it worse because magical healing might set the bones badly, and leave all those bits of shrapnel. She smartly settles on using her super-strength to ferry medical supplies.

The realities of an alien invasion aren't Surprisingly Realistic Outcome.
* GenreDeconstruction: The series occasionally goes to lengths to point out the realities of a world where A) everyone is forced to set aside their differences to fight an AlienInvasion at a point in time where [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII they probably would have been fighting each other instead]], and B) their best defense against those aliens are [[ChildSoldiers pre-teen girls]] with magic powers.
** When Barkhorn gets reckless due to Yoshika's resemblance to her sister, she gets shot down by the Neuroi.
** Because witches with Striker Units so hopelessly outclass most existing fighting vehicles, the old guard who use those now-obsolete vehicles tends to look down on them, and two of the anime's three seasons end with a focus on some group or another within the military trying to push out another technology that will itself render witches unnecessary.
** The manga centered around the African front has a story dedicated to the testing of a prototype Striker Unit that is the series' equivalent to the Tiger heavy tank. Its test pilot at one point asks the head mechanic how she's supposed to feel about risking her life constantly to defend humanity, eventually breaking down in tears from fear of dying. The mechanic is so saddened, both from that he was already asked the same question by another witch years before and still doesn't have a proper answer and that [[ChildSoldiers young girls need to even consider such questions]], that when a Neuroi later attacks the testing grounds, he takes over the prototype himself and [[TakingYouWithMe self-destructs it near the Neuroi]] in an attempted HeroicSacrifice to protect the witches.
** Logistics are shown to be important, especially in ''Brave Witches'' where the 502nd is closer to the front and doesn't have as well-equipped of a supply chain. The loss of a simple warehouse is enough to noticeably affect them, especially the lost food, and they're already hurting for parts to keep Striker Units functioning even under the best of circumstances due to their ranks including the "Breaker Trio" of Nippa (who [[WalkingTechbane makes things go wrong just by her presence]]), Kanno (whose ability to [[PowerFist focus her shield around her fist]] leaves no protection against the debris of the Neuroi she's punching through clogging up her Strikers' intakes) and Waltrud (who prioritizes lining up shots over making sure she doesn't get hit in return).

Of course strictly speaking, the nature of the hugging could be simply camaraderie. See ButNotTooGay above.

The anime series is the first entry in the ''Manga/WorldWitches'' series. Additional materials includes eight light novels (covering the [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits Suomus Misfits Squadron]] and the African front of the war), four manga series, five official doujinshi (also covering the African front), four video games, and occasional short stories released on Humikane's Twitter feed which follow the adventures of the 502nd JFW. Most of the early material is available in Japanese only, though more recent doujinshi and light novels have been receiving international releases, and fan translations exist for several of the Twitter releases.
On first glance, ''Strike Witches'' appears as little more than a {{Fanservice}}-focused series. However, it ultimately presents what is, at heart, a war story about the camaraderie between the [[AcePilot pilots of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing]] (aka Strike Witches) and their battles against the unknown enemy. ''Strike Witches'' shares a superficially similar concept with ''Anime/SkyGirls'': both series saw Humikane Shimada's contribution as a character designer.

** ''501st Joint Fighter Wing Take Off!'' is a comedic spinoff focused almost exclusively on the daily lives of the Strike Witches with almost no Neuroi fighting.
** The ''Luminous Witches'' spin-off series shifts away from the ongoing war with the Neuroi to instead focus on the antics of the titular Luminous Witches, a unique squadron of Witches who don't engage in combat and are instead deployed to support their homefronts around the world through the power of song and dance, making it closer to being a SliceOfLife idol anime instead of an action-packed war-themed story the franchise is famously known for. It's also the series that features the ''least'' amount of {{Fanservice}} outside of a few moments sprinkled in-between.

* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: Yeager spends an entire episode trying to juice up her Stiker so she can hit Mach 1, only reaching Mach .67. Then Lucchini accidentally knocks Yeager's Strikers over one night, and hastily tries to put it back together to cover it up. On her next sortie, Shirley breaks the sound barrier. As Lucchini knows nothing of practical engineering and wasn't taking notes, nobody's sure how she got a 50% top speed increase, and as the Strikers themselves ended up falling into the Channel, nobody can take them apart to figure out what Francesca did so right.
