The Synopsis gives a pretty good synopsis. Year 1944. Instead of WW2, we have the war against alieny Neuroi. And who we should send to fight them? Mahou Shoujo of course. Equipped with machine guns and “brooms”, magical lolis sacrifice their lives to save humanity.
12 episodes = 5 episodes of fanservice, 4 episodes of feels and 3 episodes of plot. Well… as close to feels as you can get in this kind of anime. Plot isn’t elaborate, but it fits the setting… which is loli magical girls with machine guns again, so… yeah.
It’s anime alright. It’s japanese alright. What you will see here is different from western cartoons. They deal with nudity… differently. But we’re adults here, right? (R+ means something kiddo) Maybe you want to watch it for fan service, enjoy it then. But if you’re used to these kind of things and treat a naked body like something regular, Strike Witches is great. I really enjoyed it. Especially the comedy parts (If you can see the jokes through the bewbs). It’s also about friendship, striving to be better and sometimes being sad over what’s lost in the war. There’s even little mystery, but that part wasn’t really completed, maybe in season 2.
“It’s been 5 minutes without panty shots. Am I still watching Strike Witches?” That’s what you can think about halfway through. I didn’t like panties thrown at my face every few seconds, but that was only in the beginning. I believe 6th episode opens the part, where fanservice is more moderate. That’s where I really enjoyed it. And I hope you enjoy Strike Witches too.
