wtf is the point of using obsolete fighter planes over jets against an enemy with better tech (ie. the fucking laser beams they shot) i might as well be dropping a terrorist strapped c4 on them instead then |

| Well, it was a nice episode but idk for me something is missing. The only thing that really caught me up are the girls haha, theyre cute and have a great personality. |
 |
| That was as freaking great first episode! Making the start be double length was a wonderful choice, it really gave us time to introduce the setting and give lots of nice interactions between the characters, I already love everyone. If the series can keep delivering this mix of good comedy with the obvious drama and fear the setting creates (the freaking Pillars man, spooky shit) this series has a ton of potential... can't wait to get attached hard to the characters all to see them suffering hard later on, oh god. |
 |
| I get the feeling that the studio is illustrating other countries as stiff and too conforming. the interactions at the japanese base were just so unrealistic it made me cringe. First episode was below average but i'll keep watching I guess |
 |
| There's....healing elements and the monsters are cute. |
| . |
| It took 10 years, but it looks like we finally have another good show from A1 pictures |
| It started kinda slow but, it definitely picked up eventually. Some Norse Mythology inspirations, and we got shota Odin in the house. I liked the 4 main girls and the Tateyama base staff. But, my favorite out of the them all is definitely Azuzu so far, but they are all great. I didn't know it was going to be an hour long special episode so, that surprised me. Though that was great though, gave a good enough time to establish the characters and the plot. Definitely one of the good shows in this already packed season. |

| I wish Kouya no Kotobuki Hikoutai had looked like this. |
 |
| That was an intense pilot episode but not yet interesting for me. I'm expecting more from the future episodes. Girls are cute though, especially Claudia. Really love strong blondie babes. |
| WTF this was great! Very out of character from what we know Nagatsuki Tappei for but his quality control sure was present |
 |
| This season has a lot of shows with great first episodes. Majo no Tabitabi, Munou na Nana, and now this. Story is nothing to write home about but the characters truly shine. Normally I won't give much attention to stuck up cool beauty like Claudia but this show can make me like her enough. Other girls are also full of personality and very likable. It passed my usual test in first episodes of "make me like the characters" with flying colors, which in turn could make me emotional at the last moment when Claudia found out no one died even tho it was cliche. Miko best girl btw. And one minor thing I found praiseworthy is that they could make in-show terms like "Named" and "Hero Wing" etc understandable without explaining. Normally I would raise my eyebrows whenever a term like that popped up if it wasn't explained but I didn't have that problem this time. They could make the terms followable enough with just action and not info-dumping. (Altho I didn't get most Norse mythology reference/names. Thor and Mjolnir when?) Enemy (Pillars?) designs are also cool and creepy at the same time. Definitely got me hooked and another show I have to watch out for. Fall 2020 is looking great. Can't wait for Gochuumon S3 and Maoujou de Oyasumi. |

| We can see the excellent work of the staffs from the 48-minute episode..(I have to say cute girls really attract my interests.) It is obviously that Tappei Nagatsuki is a good writer.Although it’s the first time he writes the script of an original anime,I still expect the development of the story very much.There are many animations of aerial combat in Episode 1 .How to describe them……I have to say they are average,I mean,they don’t have a refreshing feel.In addition,bgm can’t rock me.Maybe this anime’s major part is girls(?) Well...that’s ok . Another lots of confusing plots like :what is Walküre,what is pillar,etc.We need time to work out these problems.I am considerably interested in where it goes.Excited to see what direction this will head. |

| Well, something is that despite lasting around 46 mins, I didn't get bored. That's a good thing. Thanks to this format, a lot has already been established in this first episode. The story doesn't seem to be anything new, same thing about Earth being threated by weird creatures, yeah... As for the characters, the fact that they're a bunch of cute girls bothers me a bit because they don't fit the setting, but I'll try not to pay attention to that issue. Claudia annoyed me quite a lot in this episode, just too edgy, plus I have an issue with her voice (it doesn't fit her face). But at the end she already received some development, so I'm looking forward to see more. Miyako is pretty fun and cute, but she's just your generic genki girl. She particularly reminds me of Hajime from Gatchaman Crowds. Azuzu is probably my favorite for now, I'm not that fond of her biggest tsundere antics but for the rest, she's very fun and quite interesting. However that's really not the personality I expected her to have based on the picture, she gives me ojosama/yandere vibes but it's actually not at all what she is. And finally, Sonoka... Typical cute shy girl. At least the fact that she's very reckless in battle makes her a bit more interesting than the other characters her type. Overall I don't really know what to think yet. It looks very average, but some aspects are intriguing. I'll give it a chance. |

| This was hecking fun to watch. It was well animated and it was fairly interesting |

fuckinmyname said: i do agree here honestly Kouya no Kotobuki was way better than this Strike Witches-wanna-be anime the characters in Kotobuki were OK in my book and the aircraft vs. aircraft fights were way interesting to watch than aircraft fighting some monsters in the sky it just reminds of Kotobuki's rival anime of Winter 2019 i'm talking about Girly Air Force but Mizushima's directing of Kotobuki made the latter anime lose it's charm for thatTirinchas said: I wish Kouya no Kotobuki Hikoutai had looked like this. kotobuki is way more more more better than this show for sure,and tsutomu-san will cry see this show,splitfire or stuka is better than that great war aircraft,if the creator of this show want to show cute mixed with cool of military aspect,the only good thing from this show is only the cute character design and good dialog,the rest is under 6 of 10 |

| Nice!! Starting with a double lenght episode! And a great one also. Can´t wait for next epi |
| Idk if its just me but I fucking loved this first episode. The op fire as fuck too |
| Putting aside whether it was proper good nor not - since finding the objective in the midst of subjectivity is futile anyway - I enjoyed it. It's a rehashed Strike Witches formula sprinkled with some herbs o' tweaking to keep it fresh and distinct from its roots. And it's an original production, so hopefully there's going to be a proper ending instead of the usual "for further development, buy LN/manga and see for yourself". "Fun things are fun", as Yui used to say, so I ain't gotta explain shit. 4/5, 'twas fun. |

| I don't know if I was not in the good mood but I'm really disapponted. I still waiting a show like GuP or Hafuri where girls pilot plane but here, we have a war against magic monsters. Ok why not. I will try de watch and make my own opinion. First minute, jets are ugly and when Odin appears, Jets are really detailled. What's happended ? We are in war time and you have that idiot who can't stop joking and made mistake about her missiles... Why can't she be serious during fight ? And she's not the only one who is like that. Even adult military jet pilots keep joking in mission (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Will probably drop it. War and monsters ruin all that anime. |

| The girls were cute I guess, though it's pretty hilarious if you compare the male and female character designs. It makes them look like they're from completely from different shows. I'll probably forget about this show after another week or so. |

Applying critical thinking to a show about cute girls being cute and deadly is bound to yield disappointment. Not to mention if they really acted all stiff and properly military-like, it'd be such a snoozefest. It's probably just not your cup of tea, and there's no need to justify it (which sounds more like an excuse than a legit reason). To each their own :) |

| Cast seems like it will deliver some solid fun and I have some hope for a plot to actually appear, so I'll stick with this for at least a few episodes. The double-length premiere was a good choice, since without addition cast chemistry development that the extra time allowed it would have been a pretty flat start. FullmetalAlias said: Sora no Woto. Coincidentally also a show with a military theme (although much more of a slice of life focus) I liked Silver Spoon quite a bit; if you haven't watched it give it a try. |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |

I don't ask them to be always serious. In "slice of life part" they could act like every teenagers girls, joking with friends, go out with them. But in a fight which could be the end of the world... Be a little serious and don't make mistakes. About budget restriction. Budget restriction from the start of the show and just for the first 10min ? I could understand if it was episode 04 of 05 but for a 45min episode (they got money to made a 45 minute episode). Something weird here. |

uncleqrow said: Daisan Hikou Shoujyotai from SHIROBAKO eh, anyone? All with the pillars and stuff (minus the cold war era jets of course). I wonder if the plot will took a Yuuki Yuuna route , since this do have the simiiar vibes to the later. Holy shit I thought I'm the only one who noticed the similarities! Not here for the lolis this time but for that three stooges Sugita-Nakamura-Kajita trio. |
 |
| Looks like a mix between Muv-Luv Alternative, Girly Air Force & Kouya no Kotobuki Hikoutai... It was a really bad first episode. |
| Interesting start, I'll continue this one. uncleqrow said: Daisan Hikou Shoujyotai from SHIROBAKO eh, anyone? All with the pillars and stuff (minus the cold war era jets of course). Damn, that's what I initially thought of by just watching the first 5 minutes |
| Pretty decent start to a show. Girls are pretty cute too. |
 |
| Sugita, Nakamura, and Kajita Mafia all together has to be the best inside joke I've ever seen. Guess I'll have to see this anime to the end now. |

| seems decent think ill enjoy this more than Girly Air Force funny to get two shows related to planes in one season , characterization of claudy looks promsing so hopefully they do the rest of the characters right,sugita can't die damnit. only issue is the silly usage of old ass planes regardless of it being blessed by the gods |
