moe girls as guns? I'll bite. The Strike Witches continues in one way or another. Just no anthropomorphic sex toys or bugs please. Some stuff should just never make the jump from manga to anime.

Says the guy with a K-on avatar(however I do like k-on, I just thought that was ironic).

To all the people that don't plan on watching it why do you have to post in here? You make claims like "utter shit" and have no idea what the anime I going to be like. Sorry it wasn't an announcement saying "death note season 2" or "here comes more code shiz", you'll have to keep holding your breath.

I can kind of understand this and Nyaruko-san, but cockroaches and charcoal? Who's going to watch that? I guess maybe an entomologist might watch Cockroach Girl, but how many entomologists are otaku or even watch anime? And Binchou-tan...just why.

Well, I'll probably end up watching this just to see what a trainwreak it is. I do have a bit of a passing interest in guns, too.

I didn't realize that the manga was popular enough to make an adaption.

Should be fun reading the comments once again nitpicking on the accuracy of the information the mangaka uses.

I guess the only thing that hasn't been anthropomorphized is poop, but it's only a matter of time before that gets the Moe Anthropomorphism treatment too


Didn't Korea do something like that?

Doggy Poo, although cute, actually looks like a doggy poo. I'm talking about about a doggy poo who doesn't look like a doogy poo at all, but looks like a moe girl or a bishounen instead.

What do they mean moe anthropomorphism of rifle... goes to manga page....

The hell?


Anthropomorphism= turning something into human I guess

And making them moe...... You get the idea

The hair looks bad. Weird idea, I'm watching it.

(wasn't striking witches very popular?)

XEBEC? I guess I'm not watching it, then...

Although I'm waiting if they shows something like AK-47 tan, may be a kind of terrorist girl?

After reading some of the source material I'm cautiously optimistic for the anime. The character designs are definitely better for the anime than the original manga. Plus, it'll be awesome to see it animated.

1. This is NOT a 4-Panel Koma.
2. There is real information about guns. You can tell a lot of research was put into this and the author truly love guns. Gun porn too.
3. Has some cool squadron based action.
4. Relatively little Fanservice. (Knowing Xebec, it'll be exaggerated unfortunately...)
5. A likable cast of girls. Archetypal, but not annoying.
6. Main male character is not a wuss, he's pretty cool. He's an adult too.

It's all on the director/Xebec really, the source material is not too shabby.
