| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was slightly better than the first episode. I liked the funny scenes. The Strikers group seems like a bunch of interesting characters but I still find the outfits pretty weird. |

| fine episode better than the first one which i was also pleased with, and i agree there seems quite interesting characters among the witches, we need a closer look and i guess they will carry the *part of entertainment* of the anime... Good pace, but there is a question poped up in my mind, is this bad video quality due to the peeps who served the raw version, or the show itself has bad graphs?? |

| Surprisingly, as the others already said, it managed to get better in this episode. We'll see whether it can keep this up, though. Somehow it still feels like I'm once again a victim of the train wreck syndrome here. Oh, well, Gonzo can't possibly fail a second time as badly as with Black Cat, so I'll survive.

The one with long hair seems to be wearing pants and the one with short hair (more silver than white) has a mini skirt. Gotta leave some things to the imagination :P |

The 2 silver ones.. A much more better episode than the first one! Less panties makes it better this time. :D |
| well i can see why they need to wear those, since those machines they use are like their pants....but still.... i was relly disapointed with this episode. it just felt korny and cliche. i certanly hope the rest of the series isnt like that. |
| Seems better than 1st episode, like the fighting as usual. Destroying the core always makes it feel like Eva or something.. ahaha |
| Episode 2 summary: -All of the girls are probably gay for each other -They still have no pants on -Heartmann hasn't said a word and she's still my favorite character -Perrine is an ojou-sama and deserves respect -Francesca is a loli, lolis deserve striped panties -The voice cast is still amazing -There's probably a plot at some point This is the show that will save Gonzo. |
| I guess as far as "totally inexperienced pilot miraculously succeeds on first try" episodes go, it was okay. Art remains pretty nice. It amuses me to no end how Gonzo tries to tie all of this back into "real" history. Making so many references in your magical-loli-kemonomimi-mecha-fighting girl show is just so absurd it borders on genius:  I wonder what Chuck Yaeger would say if he knew his legacy inspired a flying loli bunny girl. |

| Say what you want about fanservice, but Strike Witches turns out to be pretty damn cool show for me at least. :< Iri said: Oh damn, that's really interesting.It amuses me to no end how Gonzo tries to tie all of this back into "real" history.

| Definitely better than the first one but I think I'm gonna drop this series. Still wasn't tha good but I might try again later. |

| Well bearable episode. |
| I think the episode was not better.Still the same .Only not so much panty shots ,but I liked them xD |
Iri said: I hope the American girl has an awesome accent like Kate in Sketchbook. Strike Witches is like...every otakus fetish into one anime. Now all it needs is giant mechs and maybe tentacles. Really though, the shows okay. |
| Geass your enemies into thinking you and your comrades are all wearing pants. |
| Yuri~? |
| Hope so, but can’t put too high expectation the shoujo ai fan service will lead anywhere. Perhaps just effect of Mnemosyne post-traumatic experience. If they want to give much to all characters, seems like 13 is not enough for the number of characters. Looks interesting so far, but probably would only watch it until about 80%, where afterward, most anime think that they build enough emotional attachment and starts losing the fun to throw in serious or tragic stuffs in.

I'd hate to see Wilcke-chan got shot down and gone killed in action. |

| Well this was better than the first episode but only by a little. The funny scenes were ok but they could be better. The Strikers group seems like a interesting variety of characters but whats with their outfits? Aren't they supposed to be in the same unit... and they arn't exactly very ummm useful... whats next military thongs? |
| It's corny and a little weird, but I find myself enjoying the show. From the list Asrialys posted, it seems that the Axis outnumbers us Allies. lol Getting past the pantless wonders, the show isn't all too bad really. kotone said: Yuri~? When you think it does and the possibility is there, they will always crush it. iDOLM@STER Xenoglossia and Venus Versus Virus for example. Just when you think it's there, it's snatched away by a giant horny robot or some weird guy in a park sitting inside a children's playing facility. |
| Aww, sucks theres no striker model after the Me 262, it would be awesome to see some Jet pants! Part of me likes the tie in to history and seeing stuff modeled some of my favorites and the other part of me hates this show so much for the abomination Gonzo has done. I'm going to continue watching only because I'm curious as how they're going to stereotype other countries as well as watch Nazi Super Aces Gerhard Barkhorn, Erich Hartmann and and Chuck Yeager work together to fight CG Sci-fi planes. |

| I liked it. I don't even notice lack of pants anymore, or it just doesn't bother me as much as it bothered me in first episode, so everything's great. |

| This was a good episode as well, I liked the action in it and I'm still very fond of the animation. Looking forward to see more Sanya in action. |
sanjica said: I don't even notice lack of pants anymore, or it just doesn't bother me as much as it bothered me in first episode I think the lack of skirts actually makes panties less exciting and more mundane. How odd. |
| I kinda like where this anime is going... o_o |

| For me i really like those anime whereby the main character is not godlike offensives powerful like naruto or bleach...strike witches remind me of the anime gakuen alice ^^ i really looking forward for this special anime .. |
| There's several anime staples here, but they're ones which I like. For instance, the main character sort of self-discovery and realization, and then popping up to save the day, just when you kept wondering when the main character is finally going to take on the role you know she is. And then boom. Epic grand entrance. It's so common, yet so great. It's also combined with another anime element I like. The main character is always a main character for the reason of some unusual or outstanding quality. In this, we have a special lineage and special magical gifts with that. I look forward to seeing how her magical skills improve in the future. Great way to start off a show, I'm loving it. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| This episode wasn't bad. But I really want some good fansubs. >_> Oh and give them at least skirts! |

| Episode was ok. |
 |
| Beautiful animation! I don't mind any fanservice, this series has a great appeal. |

gc said: So far at least; not too bad.Iri said: I hope the American girl has an awesome accent like Kate in Sketchbook. Strike Witches is like...every otakus fetish into one anime. Now all it needs is giant mechs and maybe tentacles. Really though, the shows okay. According to the chart, the only girl that has chest bigger than a B is from America (Maybe the german one as well)? So stereotypical~ I'm enjoying the animation still; it doesn't seem to degrade with fight scenes at least. Still why no pants? :x |
| All I got from this episode is that I want to fly with and get held by Sakamoto ^~^. |
 |
| Still don't know what I'm watching. Sent with Mal Updater |

| I wonder what happened to the rest of the World War. (At the chart a few post upside I see Germans (with a Hakenkreuz-Flag o_O) and Americans fighting on one side, so it maybe didn't even happen?) |
| Okay, a little cliche in that she just puts the strike units on and can use them amazingly straight away, but, loads of anime have used the 'Genetic memory is fact' line to good effect (hell, and Dune too) so I dont mind as it moves things along nicely! Would like to see more of the supporting characters! |
 |
| It's okay, a little bit better. But, not all that great so far. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Love how she was able to fly with that thing on, without prior training. Also a world where women wear no pants and only bloomers, rape rates would go down like hell, am I right, anyone? |
 |
| I have a feeling I'm going to HATE Perrine-H. Clostermann. |
| Story wise this was quite a nice development the pace of the episode was also quite decent, and to see she directly could do that for her first time means she'll have much potential in the future of the story, lets see what's next now she joined Strike Witches! |
 |
| It was okay. This is really just a setup for the whole series with the fight and her joining the team. It seemed like more of a first episode due to that. The action was okay, but there could've been more. |
 |
| Eh I don't really like it so far. Still gonna watch it though lol. |
| I've been impressed by the anime so far. Once you accept the fact that the characters are walking fan service, you can see that there is actually some good characters in there. Yashika's decision to fight felt like a natural decision to make considering the situation she found herself in, and I loved that the anime decided to show us why she chose to fight instead of having her provide unnecessary lip services. Mio is one of the most impressive mentors I've seen in an anime. She has somehow able to strike a balance between being a mentor and a friend. She always seems to say the best possible thing at the right moment. |
| This is a good episode, slightly better then the first, but still the outfits, as well as their revealing parts just got me a bit distracted. At least Yoshika knows how to fly one, but still needs a bit training. One Neuroi down a bunch more to go. Welcome to Strike Witches Yoshika, here is your crew :D. |
