Anime Like Strike Witches: 501 Butai Hasshin Shimasu! Movie
The 501st doesn't stay retired. Every member knows what happens when they hear that call, and they answer it anyway. This movie is about people choosing to come back to war because the people they fight for matter more than the peace they're trying to hold onto. The Neuroi don't wait for you to be ready. Neither does duty.
SYNOPSIS
Yoshika Miyafuji thought she'd left the fighting behind. Back home, she's finally settling into a normal life, preparing for medical school in Europe. But when she returns across the continent with fellow soldier Shizuka Hattori, peace doesn't follow. Strange signals of Neuroi activity start surfacing, and one by one, her former comrades from the 501st Joint Fighter Wing begin appearing from across the world. The scattered unit is being drawn back together whether they're ready or not. When a particularly dangerous Neuroi materializes, Yoshika realizes this isn't a drill or a false alarm. The supernatural creatures are back, and they're coming in force. With her old squad reassembling around her, Yoshika must decide whether to return to the life she desperately wanted to leave behind or trust that her skills and bonds with her fellow witches are exactly what this moment demands. Sometimes the past won't let you go quietly.
