Wow, I have not seen Sky Girls yet, was planning on soon too, but this looks like a total rip off of it. This naime is wrong on just sooo many levels... aparently all witches have the bodies of 10 year olds... except the few that can have bigger busts... and goto war in clothes one might wear in more intimate moments with their loved ones... I'm not even going to go into the weirdness of the story lol but still I am compelled to see more and see where this goes.

This series almost makes me feel bad to watch it for its blatant loliness.

Wow, totally copied Sky Girls, added too much unneeded fanservice in weird camera angles and I guess the pants and skirts got lost while trying to animate it.


Well, if it hasn't been mentioned before, Sky Girls and Strike Witches both came from the same artist, so no wonder they're both similar. :P

Really. Guess the lolicon company producing the animation threatened to fire him if he didn't add some ecchi and sure-shot fetish elements. xb

I think it would be a tad better if they work skirts, the tops look great but seems like they just got intentionally lazy after that. It also serves that all Strike Witches are females because seeing guys in tiny skivvies would less than desirable. I can understand why they wouldn't wear pants but why are even the scientists in the background and school girls bottomless?

BTW, none of them are technically underage... in Japan (age of consent is 13... creepy)


haha I have to agree, one of my gripes is how every girl in this show is basically only wearing panties and a shirt. They should have at least gave them skirts or something.

Pants or skirts are too much effort for Gonzo to draw or something?
I haven't watched Sky Girls so I've got nothing to compare this to, but this episode wasn't all that great...

I was expecting Strike Witches to be very ecchi, since you all commented on the distinct lack of pants being worn. When I convinced myself to watch it, just to give it a chance, it turns out it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. During the first five or so minutes, there was tons of pantsu, so I was about ready to throw it in the bin, but afterwards they actually tried to focus on the story. Sure, I also found the lack of pants throughout the episode strange, but since they don't focus the screen on the witches' crotch every goddamn 4 seconds, I got used to it and don't give it much thought.

The story isn't all that great, and it does feel like a Sky Girls clone (well, maybe it's more correct to say that Sky Girls is a clone of Strike Witches), but it's surely bearable. Plus, mimis are always nice to have, even if the idea seems to have only been randomly inserted into the storyline.

In short, major points awarded, just for not having degenerated into R+V or Kanokon >_> It surprised me a little, so I'll check out a few more.

This thing kinda... sucks. No, really. I mean, the animation is good, but the plot is dull, the characters are too overdone and the setting is completely stupid....
But it's the kind of series that pushes all my stupid, sick, pervy, drooling, moe-cliche-addicted fanboy buttons, so, I'm lovin' it! XD
My guilty pleasure of the season...

First of all: Why the fuck aren't they wearing pants. I mean, I maybe am understanding why they get cat ears and tails (because of the magic), but there is no reason for all the girls wearing no pants. NO!

Doesn't seem bad so far, hell, it has the potential to be vaguely interesting. Only issue I have is the extreme lack of pants/skirts... I mean, not even with their school uniforms? I'd expect it in battle, but not all the time.

Heh! There's a few series taht I want to catch up on, and this is one of the shows I'd seen a bit of artwork about and thought I'd give it a look!

Ridiculous panties galore to be sure, but I like the style of the older machine guns mixed with more modern rocket launchers and anti-material rifle thingymajig in the opening scene!

The last fight scene was pretty cool too! Someone else here mentioned the Neuroi reminding him of angels from Evangelion, and I totally thought the same thing! The part in Eva, when Asuka's unit 02 is fighting among the ships was pushed into my mind at that last fight part!

I want to see the conclusion to that, and I want to see Britannia too, since i'm from UK!

It was decent. After watching episode one of Strike Witches, Now I truly understand the meaning to good art/bad animation. It was a little choppy when the girls are walking and during the dog fights, but it wasn't so bad that I needed to drop it. I'll definitely see the next few episodes before judging again.

I'm not a fan of the character designs and the girl with the eye patch her voice sounds, well, "fake" to me. Not to mention the repeated an unnecessary fan service. I mean, yeah, I should have known but the people who came up with this seems to be trying to make the show fairly serious. They need to understand, that if that is the case, repeated panty shots really hurts their efforts.

Strike "Fanservice" Witches? If I wanted too vent my perverted thoughts I would've gone and watched a Hentai movie. The story lacks fluency, characters are too unoriginal, most likely this show will be dropped.

The first 5 minutes were horrible, but the rest was okay. Charac design is a bit weird, but fits in the light/chibi-like atmosphere. This could be good, we'll see.

Way too much fanservice and panties-shots of underage girls... I don't get this appeal at all. I have no trouble with occasional fanservice and some flashes here and there, but having panties shoved in my face every two seconds gets old and annoying rather quickly.

Not to mention the ridiculous backstory for the neuroi 'brooms'. And really, why not just call it 'legs' or something? They're obviously not broom-shaped in any way.

Nice start I must say but what's up with all the girls don't wearing pants and those swimsuits that plus the animal ears oO? Oh well lets hope they won't get more focused on the ecchi part and more on the story!

Lets see what's next the concept is rather nice though!

Meh show but makes for good hentai fodder, shows like these usually goes along those lines, as its their purpose. I gotta commend the staff for using male bait setups and still trying to find ways to create a good serious plot at least; guess its safest to give the target audience what they want.

not dropping but my thoughts exactly regarding having lolis panties shoved in my face practically the whole time. Occasionally it's fine, all the time it gets irritating.

I like lolis.

I don't like them sexually.

It's hard to not like lolis, their cuteness pander to the same emotions that naturally makes us fathers.

But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs.

This anime is so bad.

WTF is with the panties shoved into my face, and not a fan of the ears and tail.
Ever hear of pants ladies?

Not dropping YET though I have a feeling I'll hate this anime.

Pretty good start in the series, I really like the character designs, the animation, and the technology for fighting these Neuroi lifeforms. Yoshika looks like a promising character so I hope that personality of hers won't change. Also the other characters were not bad, but it is the beginning of the story.

Sakamoto is like persuading Yoshika in joining the military since they have evidence that she is most valuable for the war. Never knew this show has magic powers, so I want to expect more of those.

Though the downright is basically the fanservice of their really short shorts so I had to get used to it. The story looks good but I want some dark turns in later episodes.

Okay, so anime is about flying girls in panties with huge guns. Definitely lots of potential here. I have high expectations for this show. Replaced fighter jets with girls, incredible stuff!

I guess the little girl had some type of hole in her swim suit just for her tail...makes sense.

How does her friend even get stabbed in the chest if she fell and rolled down the hill.

This episode was top notch, very good. 2/5

I'm not hiding it,but i was really surprised when know that this Anime is airing around 2008,i thought it was 2010 Anime(because the movie in 2012)though the 2nd Season is around 2010,that mean this Anime is pretty old,especially since the 3rd Season is coming.

on the topic i already finished the entire series(1st & 2nd Season) so i'll give...

Although this came first, it definitely reminds me of Vividred Operation. Mio has an interesting voice, I like hearing her "oh ho ho ho ho" laughs. Really quick jump into their journey. Looks like it'll be a fun watch. That strike unit looks hella fun, would be so cool to soar around in the sky like that (but don't show off my booty!)

As for all of the ass shots, can't really complain since I knew what I was getting into but yeah it's definitely excessive and unnecessary like Vivid.
