They're similar because they're both about mecha musume.

Now that Sky Girls is over, I'm going to really enjoy this series. I've got favorites picked out already.

I would say that this is kind of the PV to the actual series. Basically it's saying, "Hey everyone, we're doing an anime project right now and this is what it might look like."

Meh, pretty bad. If I hadn't already watched the actual series...this would not have convinced me to. They didn't show ANYTHING about the Neuroi, which makes it pretty boring.

The only part that entertained me was Mio's skills when taking down Miyafuji.
I'm quite glad they made the changes they did in the actual series. :]
Bleed for me.

Is this OVA the 8 minute prelude, or did I watch something else?

Whatever it was, it wasn't very good.

Well, I thought I might have gotten a bit more about the happenings between the series, but it looks like this is a prelude.

So, prototype animation, some concept art and lots of stuff I already knew!

Meh...I'll wait for the film now!

Oh man...and I thought this was to follow the series. Well it's nice to see what the series was like in the initial humble development, if you will. I felt the mock battle was a lot more exciting than most of the battles between the Neuroi and the witches in the actual series. Well, off to see the movie and then Sky Girls and Upotte! I never knew Sky Girls was older than this ^^'.

This is vastly different from the series. It seems like one of those old movies from the 80's made by studio Ghibli.

Revised OAV again, but this time the full version which lasts about 21 minutes. This was conceived as a sort of promotional video where you can see many ideas you think, but in the TV series are discarded or adapted in different ways, one of many is the throne of the Valkyries, which is different form, as well as the 'pet, and more. Cute, although technically only made ​​enough, however, gave a feeling of potential good enough for a possible television adaption.

Whoa that threw me off. I'm like who are these knockoff characters, makes sense that it was a concept. But it was interesting, learned a lot of info that I already knew but it was odd seeing those characters and the things that they left out and changed. I think they did a good job in changing things for the series.

Pretty cool OVA. :3
Very informative in terms of the weapons the characters use. :P
Also! The animation in the start was pretty odd, but it does remind me of the manga. :3

Now, time to watch the movie. xD

After the release of a new anime series, I had to revise this OVA and the two series of Strike witches. As a pilot, it is interesting for the many ideas he had, shame that some have not been pursued. However, as is nostalgic review this episode.

So this OVA basically their introductory to set before the series of Strike Witches began. Understood. As a 20s century, the art and animation were so bad. Example with how different Miyafuji hair style on these short that somehow, just made me burst out of laughter, and the fanservices were not too openned on these one. They might've wanted these to be like a documentary classical short movie. But, honestly, they failed. The message behind these short was so confusing, that i might be not taken these OVA too seriously. Oh, well. I wanted to rant the other scenes. However, it might be unnecessary. I thought these OVA was some kind of a cultured episode. But its ended up dissapointed me xD
