| 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! |
 staff.applications ▼ guidelines.faq ▼ report.abuse ▼ thx.skittles ▼ thx.kina ▼ [H+] ³ ▼ |
| 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 |

| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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 |

animematt55 said: GAH!! Seriously, put some pants on. The fan service and ecchiness just RUINS this series. It is an insult to the great pilots in WWII lol then don't waste your time watching it. Girls wearing no pants just cries out fanservice, ever since episode 1. For ecchi fans, it's definitely something -different-. =P |

Because no one understands them even if they think they do better think twice. |

| what I find even funnier is the last ep where the two girls where sunbathing with pants and more clothes then when they're "working" or around other people lol. |

| Yeah the only issue I had was taking the character based on a Canadian pilot and giving her to Britain. Return Lynette to Canada damn it :). Was a bit thrown at first with almost no girls wearing any pants. But you start getting used to it after a while. Serious shortage of clothing it seems. Guys got first pick and almost nothing was left over. |
| You know i got so thrown off with the whole no pants that when near the end of this episode they "censor" it I thought to myself, "so now they ain't gonna show her underwear?" |

Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| So Im wondering if there's anything else to this series besides flying lolis and pantsu... Not that I don't mind the crotch shots, its just a little difficult to focus on the story when their ass is in your face. But...it doesn't seem that bad for now, so I guess I'll continue |
 |
ukonkivi said: Same here. Makes me wanna go to war to become a hero and then get a loli based on me. animematt55 said: GAH!! It is an insult to the great pilots in WWII Dude, I would be honored. But yeah, Go Lynette!!! |

This is such trash, but I can't help but enjoy it so far. I burst out laughing every time they show a shot of some lolis ass crack and cameltoe. It's so retarded and absurd it can only be funny. |

Wasn't expecting the full on breast shot in the bath scene. That thru me off a bit, thinking this show was gonna be a "complete" tease. I'm liking this series. |
| their boss must have swimsuit fetish.Everyone must wear swimsuit to battlefield. |
| People who don't want to watch underage girls in pantsu, why watch this anime in the first place? It's obviously going to be full of fanservice. This was a nice episode. I liked it when they GATTAI'd. |
 |
| I've really enjoyed these first 3 episodes. The fanservice is actually watchable in this. |
| This episode was cute. Gettin' Lynne's confidence back up about herself. I love laughing at the ecchi-ness of the show. It's brilliant~ |
 |
| Man, I really wished that I didn't have to wear pants in public. I'm jealous. I'm still waiting for Lelouch to show up and take back Britannia. |
| Ha true dat Fuurinkazan! Liked seeing Lynne with the anti-tank rifle. Cool! Character development is all well and good, but I know why I'm watching this show....Fights and Pants! Thats All! |
 |
| Again another enemy based off Germany -_- "Europe's been conquered, only Britannia stands!" My ASS YOU HEAR BITCHES?! |
 |
| So there's nudity in this anime or it just the big titty blondie? |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Have no fear nudity is here. Just a little patience. |
| More pantsu shots... oh well it's not that it's to focused on the ecchi stuff... The episode it self was rather decent a nice soft atmosphere of just entered the team and having to train to go into battle! |
 |
| I don't expect a lot of the time to be spent on the plot. I think it's mostly a fan service series, so anything plot related is extra. There's some back story on Lynne, so that's good enough for me. |
 |
| Basically a set up episode so it was a good one. The problem is that so many characters in here so I have to remember some of them. I guess the fanservice in here is not too bad right now... XD Some basic character development for Lynn and some for Yoshika for having their fighting spirit up and defeating the Neuroi missile. So much ecchi in here and panty shots though XD. Nice hug at the end... |
| First nipples confirmed at six o'clock! Oh boy, guess the pantsu lolis was only the surface. Hell I'm even starting to make predictions as to which scene is going to have an ass shot at this point. With that aside, I'm actually enjoying this show for its other merits. The fights are pretty cool and the character development is heartwarming despite being simple and predictably cliche. Not to mention the whole concept of magic lolis flying around and blowing things up, just too amusing. |
 |
| Dimaniche internal to the group and the character of the protagonist, it comes to the surface, but the narrative is able to camouflage well this aspect, giving the feeling that you only focus on Miyafuji and its interaction with the character of Lynette. Also note the way we relate Minna commander, much closer to the subject, unlike the Gundula commander. The component ecchi, often corrupts the script, which devotes many close-ups of the B side. Beautiful ending, that longing! |
