THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Haha, way to help each other out in the end. Anyway, some of that cheesy no-self-confidence stuff. But not so bad. |

It was okay. Hopefully more action next episode. That's why I started watching in the first place. =^.^= |

A few more character introductions, a lot more ecchi scenes and a bit of character development. Meh! |

I liked it, more character development, and brought an awesome sniper character into the story. Although, quite ecchi on this episode. :\ Bleed for me.  |

ugh so much loli ecchi... but the character introductions/development was ok. Then again I already had a handy chart that explained them all already. Maybe I'll post it. |

I don't know why anyone would watch this show for anything other than cute girls with no pants on. Except maybe the guns, because the guns are pretty nice. I like the character development, even though it's a little generic. I'm basically watching for the cute girls. |

I think I just fell in love with Lynette <333 Censored_Vagina said: To be frank, I put all those pantless service stuff last. Ever since Sky Girls, I had a fascination with lolis flying in the air and I'm enjoying Strike Wicthes's story so far. Pretty heartwarming.I don't know why anyone would watch this show for anything other than cute girls with no pants on. <--- is in the small ratio of audience who enjoy this show not because of service Modified by chibuki, 07-17-08, 10:55 PM |

Oh God sexual harassment. There's some definite yuri/shoujo-ai/whatever going on in this show. There's some definite fanservice to this show. Personally I find the lack of pants more enticing than than the girl on girl love. Err..I dunno that I would consider the fanservice the only reason for watching, but it does add to their overall attractiveness. Though it can sort of feel weird sometimes because your mind can't find a decent explanation as to why they wouldn't be wearing any pants. Military people don't wear such showy uniform. Usually I just notice that it's cute, but every once in a while I can't help but notice how nonsensical their clothes are. Also, lol. She's asked several times about joining and it's all so nice and welcoming as expected, and then during training she's basically told she's not good enough and to leave out of mostly jealousy. Talk about mixed messages. Then again, she did say "she's not improving". Only to do well in the next episode. This was definitely not about her this time, but her new friend getting picked back up and motivated. How much longer is main character gonna stay rookie? I guess for most of the series in a way, just like Uzumaki Naruto from Naruto is the prodigy kid yet still behind everyone else in multiple ways and will always be the "rookie". It's a common thing to do, you wouldn't feel for the main character as much if they were all of a sudden not flawed. It's a common theme, somehow I keep forgetting that. I'll be happy when the time comes that she gets less criticism and does more right, though. Surely this rookie thing will fade a little, and hopefully soon.  Old avatar and sig retired for now. |

Personnaly if the echiness was left out and more fighting would occur it would be cooler but of course echiness was a lot more. I was lot more like WTF when Luchille grabs the beasts just like that! I think she may have a libido problem? Lynette is fine thought her last name makes sense coming a British Empire thought I like a lot more Istvark for Russian and one from Liberia which might actually be Libya in real life but not sure. I am also sure that Perrine and Gallia has to with France. Luchille also might have to do with Italy. ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT TO SEE HOW AUTHOR MAKES FUN OF THIS???? Also if anyone wants to know something interesting that Neuroi copied a V1 or V2 type rocket blueprinted model and customized it, since it has a amazing AI, to have incredible speed. In other words they might be getting smarter to get against the Strike Witches. Also the situation of yuri and no guy thing might have to do with a similar environment like in My-Hime Otome thought the storyline has nothing with this anime. Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me. |

It was a shame Sanya had used up all her magic so that we didn't get to see her in action! But we still got a scene of her sleeping in the classroom. This was a pretty good episode overall though, good job on taking down the Neuroi Lynne! |

I actually enjoyed the episode. It isn't the best quality stuff out there, but it is a good show in that it is fun. The funny thing is, the historical Bishop to which she is based on was a total bad ass. |

The girls (besides the Japanese ones) are named directly after famous Ace Pilots of WW2 The girls use machine guns and pistols from WW2 The girls' various striker units are modeled after airplanes the pilots actually flew. Erica Hartmann is based off Erich Hartman AKA The Blond Knight is the highest scoring fighter ace of all history. Which is alluded to by Erica being the highest scoring witch.

Also a little side note- The Cat/Dog/Rabbit ears & tails represent an aspect of their personality. Yoshika Miyafuji has the features of a Mame-Shiba making her very friendly Mio Sakamoto has the features of a Doberman making her a great disciplinarian Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke has the features of a wolf which alludes to her namesake Wolf-Deitrich Wilcke. Lynnette Bishop has the features of a Scottish Fold which look timid and shy. Perrine-H. Clostermann gains the features of a Chartreux Erica Hartmann gains the features of a Dachshund Gertrud Barkhorn gains the features of a German Wirehaired Pointer Francesca Lucchini gains the features of a Black Panther Charlotte E. Yeager has rabbit ears like a speedy Hare because of her obsession with speed. Chuck Yeager was the first man to break the sound barrier. Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen gains the features of a Black Fox because of her mischievous nature. Sanya V. Litvyak gains the features of a Black Cat because of her nocturnal nature.      |

Still liking this series so far. Action, ecchi, and yuri all in one, I love it! Another orange-haired girl who goes by the name of Shirley (also in Code Geass)? What's so special about it? She's hawt though. EDIT: It's actually Charlie, not Shirley. No pants only makes this anime better. =D Modified by iMoogle, 07-23-08, 11:05 AM http://www.justin.tv/animoogle < My Anime Livestream <img src="http://myanimelist.net/signature/iMoogle.png" /> |

lol tight ass and perv boss guys When watching this show I don't know if I'm supposed to get off on it or actually take it seriously. It feels to much like a hentai only without the payoff. |
