The anime film Gekijouban Strike Witches is created by studio AIC (like the TV anime's 2nd season from 2010), who replaced the series' original animation studio Gonzo. The movie is set in 1945. Yoshika Miyafuji, who lost her witch powers during the Strike Witches' last assignment, has been studying to become a doctor. Shizuka Hattori, one of her cadets in the Imperial Fuso Navy, then arrives to deliver a message: Yoshika is to be transferred for study abroad in Europe. (based on Moetron synopsis)
