Yoooshikaaaaaa-chaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!!!! That's how I feel after watching this amazing and totally spectacular anime!
Continuing off from Strike Witches, 6 months have passed since the end of Strike Witches, a new Neuroi hive has appeared, destroying the old one and any plans of coexistence between the humans and Neuroi, which really sucks, I wanted to know so much more about the humanoid Neuroi, poor thing was destroyed right away =(.
Strike Witches 2 continues to follow the same story telling that the original did. Many episodes are about building friendships and trust through hardships that occur. If you felt that some characters weren't given screen time in Strike Witches, worry not, the rest of the girls all get some time where we can learn more about them. I feel like this way of episodically telling us, the viewers, works really well. Once again, most of the anime doesn't revolve around the main plot until the last 2-3 episodes; some may call it rushing, but I think it works. Once we get more characterization for the girls, the plot advances and so on. A really neat thing I noticed was how similar many of the beginning episodes in Strike Witches 2 resembled Strike Witches, uncanny in how it was taken care of, so I thought that was really cool.
The OP.... is seriously one of the best songs I have ever heard in Japanese anime history, it's so happy and sounds so freaking good. Have a listen, you won't be disappointed! There is fantastic music used throughout the anime, once again the people behind this aspect have out done themselves, it's just absolutely fantastic to listen to. Certain scenes even received music for the occasion so really nice job. The ED Over Sky isn't bad either, a fun listen as well, but I love the OP.
Art Style continues to be amazing as well as the animation involved, colors are popping, the screens are amazing, the girls are incredibly cute, it's all just a lot of good!
Over all, Strike Witches 2 is a beautiful and ecchi filled show that everyone should really try watching. Sure there is a lot of pantsu shots and sometimes it's really extravagantly detailed, but that's okay(It might even be really welcomed =), it has an amazing set of characters to fall for and get behind, a beautiful world to watch and explore, amazing moments of friendship and trust; it's just a whole lot of fun!
