Let me start off by saying I am a "fanboy" of Strike Witches so naturally it was perfect ^_^ . If you were a fan of the 1st Strike Witches you'll love Strike Witches 2. Its a given.
Background: The story takes place a couple months after the first season ended. And Yoshika Miyafuji has just finished middle school and is planning on taking over her family's health clinic. When just like in the original, she receives another letter from her dad! The letter has blue prints for a secret project. This time around she is a retired reserve and needs Sakamoto help once again. Sakamoto her self is has problems of herself which may lead her to no longer be a Witch. She refuse to allow Yoshika to join the Strike Witch but as stubborn as Yoshika is, she decides to go anyways and convinces the Major, that she will work even harder than ever. Which starts the new story. I don't want to give to much away so ill stop at that.
The story this time around is a lot more serious then last time, you'll notice this toward the end. Its not all fun and games, the anime takes itself a bit more serious which makes a better story all around but don't worry it still has its funny moments. All the original characters are back with the add of some new ones. The navy has a bigger role which is cool to see and has a bigger influence in the story. Even though Gonzo, the original studio, is no longer apart of this and AIC Spirits is now in charge. They did a fantastic job and didn't screw it up so thank you AIC Spirits. Side note: be careful watching this around kids, AIC put in a lot more boob scenes unlike the 2 scenes in the original and dedicated a hole episode on a butt Neuroi which was hilarious, I'm not complaining about it one bit, its just a little heads up.
The intro music is just as awesome as the original and more catchy. The music score for the anime was well done and fell fit the scene that were going on. All the characters act the same which is a good thing. Francesca who likes to grab peoples boobs but none can compare with Charlotte boobs ;). Perrine being stuck up as always except in one of the episodes but still in love with the Major. Lynne and Yoshika are still the best of friends. The action in the anime is just well done and scenes look like a lot of time was spent on making them. Actions scenes look over the top and amazing to look at. This is just one of thous Anime's that's hard not to smile at when watching it. Its a good anime all the way through.The only down side I have is that there's still questions that need to be answered and I'm afraid that they will never be answered. Its been 2 years since it came out and no season 3 but we did get the Strike Witches Movie that came out last year. Lets just hope that's why they haven't came out with season 3. This one of my favorites anime of all time, and its a must watch on my list. Fingers crossed for a third season.
