Haven't watched any of it yet; patiently waiting till someone posts a batch when it's ended. Judging from these shots, the fanservice is way more than in Sky Girls, which I already thoroughly enjoyed ^^

Tnx for the insight Danny, I might watch this after Sky Girls ^^
(ID #269395) Posted on 2008/08/18 23:35
Not many Strike Witches doujinshis found at Comiket so I found this series not that popular >_< That's my way to rate a show's popularity ^^;
(ID #269396) Posted on 2008/08/18 23:40
Well so far only guys in the series have been the random sailors so they really only have girl on girl to work with and I'm sure quiet a few fans would be pissed if they broke the possible love relationships the characters have with each other.
(ID #269544) Posted on 2008/08/19 04:28
That makes sense ^^; But overall, Macross Frontier was the main series for Comiket 74.
(ID #270001) Posted on 2008/08/19 15:27
Watched episode 1 and thought it was fan service only. Maybe I'll pick it up again on some future date.
(ID #269398) Posted on 2008/08/18 23:43
Hm, half naked 10 year olds flying around with plane parts for legs... I think ill give this a miss and add it to my reasons why i dont watch much anime these days! Even if it does have a great story, it just looks like pervy loli / mecha otaku eye-candy.

(ID #269403) Posted on 2008/08/18 23:48
For the most part I thought they were all 15+.
(ID #269478) Posted on 2008/08/19 02:48
Everyone but Francesca and Yoshika are at least 15. Mio is 19 and Minna is 18 at that. So mindless loli fanservice I see is not an excuse.
(ID #269548) Posted on 2008/08/19 04:31
They are just under developed T.T give them a break !! : P hahahahaah
(ID #274741) Posted on 2008/08/23 02:11
I dropped Sky Girls at first sight,because of the ugly pink aliens XD Strike Witches is quite enjoyable,the girls are so cute. And the plot improves from episode to episode. My favourite characters so far are Francesca,Charlotte and Lynette Did I mention that the girls are cute ;)
(ID #269401) Posted on 2008/08/18 23:48
I have enjoyed watching Strike Witches so far too ... but I am hoping for more battle scenes. Hope the story gathers more pace and intensity as the plot progresses. My favorite strike witch is Yoshika Miyafuji, followed by Lynette Bishop and Sanya V. Litvyak ...but really, I agree with you..all of them are georgous. ^_^

Thank you for the post, Danny. I hope more people catch whim of this as a result. I've had my eye on this series ever since I saw the OVA. Seen up to episode 4, reading the manga, novel and I have two figurines so far. It really is very interesting, fanservice or not.. this show has so much potential(saying this as a military-Otaku as well). It's quite hard to pick a favourite but, I'll go with these: Sanya, Minna, Lynette, Mio and Lucchini-chan... but, I like them all XD [I'll be writing a fairly large entry in my blog about this series soon.]
(ID #269406) Posted on 2008/08/18 23:53
It's the only anime i watch aside from Macross frontier.. My fave is Mina (for now maybe..) I just like her seemingly Conspirator character. She seems to have Yandere traits too ^__^ The Episode about Sanya was inspiring though.. So they also fly in IFR/IMC I'm thinking that the Orussian Loli is the most proficient since she always fly at night ;p After that i flew a lot of Night Flight to in my sims. Anyway's i like the series :) though the Panty shots get annoying sometimes.. :)

Girls using panties all day shouldn't be in anime only, that should be a real-life law! Of course, this law only apply to the cute girls. Strike Witches is very nice and the OP is catchy.
(ID #269414) Posted on 2008/08/19 00:12
I've only seen two episodes of it so far, but I enjoyed them, and I'm told it actually improves from there on, so I'm looking forward to watching the rest soon. ^^
(ID #269417) Posted on 2008/08/19 00:22
I actually watch this due to the influence from sky girls ^^; their story is really almost no difference; one kill worms, one kill neuroi but I like strike witches' battles more, just look amazing~ this is really rare for me not disliking any characters in the series, all the girls are so cute! and KYAAAA~ Lynette~ ^^

I still think the series should be named Sky Lolis

looks like sky girls but with more loli and fan service. i'll give it a shot. any ideas which fan subs group is doing this project? ^^
(ID #269446) Posted on 2008/08/19 01:22
You can search for the genkz or Strike subs

thanks. already downloaded 2 episodes. ^^ to hell wirh ODEX!
(ID #269532) Posted on 2008/08/19 04:15
for this anime, it will not be to hell with Odex, as its one of the GONZO synchronized subbed release through their own BOST TV and crunchyroll, if you are concerned with copyrights issue, d/l raw and then get the genkz script, the ass file shld be able to run with any avi raws.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Gonzo one of the firms Odex named in part one of the XEDO saga?
(ID #270051) Posted on 2008/08/19 17:48
Just get it from Crunchyroll for $0.01 per episode (You can choose the amount but I'm cheap ^^). Gonzo's subbing is quite good.

I heard ep7 was pure service >.< Just as long they don't drop the story and go nuts on the pantsu I'll be happy. Anyway I didn't enjoy skygirlies that much so I'm waiting to pick this apart every chance I get... =P
(ID #269457) Posted on 2008/08/19 01:49
Quite arguably the best anime of the season. My opinion = fact.
(ID #269460) Posted on 2008/08/19 01:57
Student, Otaku, She-Geek(Sheek lol)
I've been with Strike Witches since ep 1. Still loving it. And yes!! Danny-san agrees with me!! The fanservice is done tastefully(most of the time...bar the latest episode....) Lynette is so cute!!! I dont know if I have a favourite yet, I like the looks of the girls with pale blonde hair, but the personality of Lynette is so lovely!!! Glad your watching!
(ID #269466) Posted on 2008/08/19 02:31
Still at ep 3 ...like the color tone for this anime......and don't forget the loli pantsu lol...
(ID #269474) Posted on 2008/08/19 02:41
I couldn't get past all the pantsu. I can understand that it makes the jet boots easier to wear/draw or whatever, but they don't need to walk around 24/7 like that. Never made it past the first episode. If I want girls with "planes" I'll watch Allison and Lilia (which is excellent). Besides, I found better things to watch this season, like Yakushiji Ryoko no Kaiki Jikenbo; and the shows from the spring I'm still watching like Allison and Lilia, and Nijuu Mensou no Musume.
(ID #269475) Posted on 2008/08/19 02:43
Your ignorance is really shining through this post. Such a shame.
(ID #269512) Posted on 2008/08/19 03:35
Because I don't like shows full of fan service? Being female, it's not really something that's going to draw me to a show, and the story in the first episode didn't impress me enough to interest me beyond that. I understand the "well they're at war and could need to fly off at any moment!" But even the one little girl's school uniform was entirely too short.
(ID #269575) Posted on 2008/08/19 05:02
Student, Otaku, She-Geek(Sheek lol)
I'm a girl, I was drawn in by the cuteness. I put up with the fanservice because of the cuteness. And by-gum theres a lot of it!! And its not that her uniform was too short, its that its only the top of the uniform. There was no skirt lol. Just the top and the school swimsuit underneath.
(ID #269654) Posted on 2008/08/19 07:42
Well, other than fanservice, wearing pantsu makes SOME sense. They wouldn't be wearing pants, because I'm pretty sure in the 30s it was expected of all women to wear dresses and skirts all the time. The other thing is, they're on base, so they have to be prepared all the time for an attack. Having to take a skirt off AND THEN hop into your leg planes would take too much time, especially for the self conscious girls who have to return to their rooms to change. All in all though, my favoritewould have to be Mio, she's so positive that it's hillarious, and doesn't seem to get mad. In terms of cuteness though, I'd have to say it's between Lynette or Francesca.
(ID #269481) Posted on 2008/08/19 02:52
*drools* Oh My!! I'm seriously considering to revise my no-lolis policy by this show. Damn lolicon inducing shows!!
(ID #269482) Posted on 2008/08/19 02:52
Part trooper, part -timer, 100% loser...
I've only watched the first epiosde because the anime's pretty "Erm" and has alot of pantsu shots... I don't wanna get weird stares from my parents...
(ID #269505) Posted on 2008/08/19 03:29
I think I was supposed to watch this a while back? I still never got to watch "Allison to Lilia" and the like also. I am missing out on a bunch of series. I so need to give my schedule a makeover badly.
(ID #269507) Posted on 2008/08/19 03:31
Love my lolis, after years of anime I gotten really sick of the whole giant breasts deal that plagues anime these days. I just think lolis are cuter. Anyways Strike Witches is one of my favorites this season and I couldn't agree more with you on this Danny. I really had low expectations on this show, especially since it was a Gonzo production. Episode 6 really cemented this show for me, personally I really like Francesca and Sanya, but I love all of them really. Which is rare because I generally tend to dislike at least once character in a show, this is one of those rare ones that I like em all.

Yep I'm enjoying Strike Witches since from ep 1 ^^ The only minus i think this anime is lacking of story... =w= Only 12 ep and now at ep 7 with just fanservice episode... xD Where's my mecha sky battle! o_o

I hoped it would be longer... I want more story now!!! As much as I love learning about the characters, I need more plot!! Sky Girls had plot AND character building!!
(ID #269657) Posted on 2008/08/19 07:49
It hasn't managed to draw my interests so far, but what did get my attention are the WWII weapons and not the fanservice... Perhaps I'm on a different frequency to the rest of the people here? :

this show was a FAIL on my first 5 minutes, but then again...the story was nice so I played along and got stuck between this pantsus in my mind @_@

In case anyone haven notice, most of the gals in this show blushes alot n are drawn with rosy cheeks very often which makes them rather adorable
(ID #269545) Posted on 2008/08/19 04:28

I was kind of turn off from the first few minutes of the first episodes as it looks like another bunch of wacky early teen girls fanservice show. Will wait to see if the story trumps over it.
(ID #269550) Posted on 2008/08/19 04:32
dropped after ep3, story's nice but on the whole, not my cup of tea. dropped quite lot of other anime series as well, after few eps. still mecha n fanasty for me.

I think I would have liked the series more if the girls wore skirts or actual trousers. As a Canadian, I have to support our local hero, Lynette. Admittedly, I'm not really watching the series at the moment- I am working my way through the original OVAs of Patlabour (Noa is cute!), and waiting on GaoGaiGar boxset 2 to arrive.
(ID #269558) Posted on 2008/08/19 04:38
yea, i second on that... if they can make the plot reasonable that they are *exposed* then i buy the idea better.... I thought sky girls was ok at that. " why are they dressed like that?" " cuz they need that suit in order to fly" of course.. the question lies in who the hell designed that suit Xp but i guess you can't have them wearing 1930's clothing and being *exposed* with a good reason... T.T or can't they just all wear skirts? that was the army standards of the time.. (for common wealth anyways) and i just love the references !! ERICH HARTMANN 352 kills ! she's getting there ! Knights cros w/ words and oak leafs ! woot !! !

"Have not seen the OAV yet but will make it a priority to do so ^^; " Basically theres nothing much to watch in the OAV, its just a 10min prelude that doesnt explain anything. Bought the R2 DVD last year as a show of support, hoping such meagre "contribution" will push for a full release, and seems that my wish was granted. Anyway really have to thank my friend Vexar for getting it from Japan. For those who have watched Welcome to NHK is true, IIRC, the Strike Witches OAV is mentioned in the story as a project done by students in the anime academy and the poster is plastered all over the place in the building.

I find Strike Witches an entertaining show. It’s good to have a show that allows you to sit back and take your brains out for a bit. Don’t get me wrong, I like shows like GitS:SAC, but there are times when I want to see half naked girls flying around with mechanical legs, wielding WW2 weapons, fighting for King, Country and for the last potato on the plate. ^_^ I also know that I’m not alone. At the last con I was at I had some fun and cosplayed as Mio Sakamoto for laughs. Some of the committee ended up watching Strike Witches to find out who I was and a lot of them ended up walking away with a new series to watch. As to favourite character? It's a tough call and in the end a toss up between Lynette, Mio & Francessca (although I think Mio would win in the end... for some reason I love that laugh of hers ^^). I just wish they’d release more figures of them. I have the 1/10 Francesca and saw pics of a 1/10 Miyafuji, but for love nor money I can’t find her anywhere >_<

Pantsu Witches are good! I love to watch it. I'm waiting for the DVD release. =D Btw, the OVA is really disappointing compared to the TV. Don't watch it unless all of your anime on your HDD dead and it's the only one left. XD
(ID #269581) Posted on 2008/08/19 05:11
gratuitous pantsu showing ftw! what's a bamboo turd? well the show's pretty ok, although i must admit, i went wth when i saw propellers stuck to their feet.

Sky Girls >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> strike witches. At the moment, Strike witches feels like it's pretty much a pure fanservice show with little in terms of a cohesive plot. The eps have been just focusing on a specific character thus far and have been self contained. While Sky Girls suffered for being a 26 ep show, at the rate it's going, Strike witches will suffer for being only 13 ep!! The OVA was really dull too. As for fave Gonzo show... Probably full metal panic! Season 1 and Seto No Hanayome. I really enjoyed Gravion, Kiddy Grade,. chrono crusade and Vandread as well. It's just a shame that their shows tend to be either pretty decent or just pants!

Oh, and as to my favourite Gonzo, all the Gonzo I've seen have been pretty much a let down, because I always thought they were meant to be great or something(dont know quite why...) I have to say Strike Witches has wetted my appetite for more Gonzo. (I like Speed Grapher...must look into getting the rest of that...) Although I can't imagine it will be as downright cute as Strike Witches!! And yes, the animation rocks!! So smooth and lovely! And all the roseyness!! So cute!!!

(ID #269705) Posted on 2008/08/19 09:00
Hmm i find this difficult to swallow, but if Danny says so ... Maybe just one EP of flying loli in pantsu won't hurt ...
(ID #269760) Posted on 2008/08/19 10:12
Something about Neko girls in pantsu actually sounds somewhat amusing to me.:P Maybe I will have to check this one out.:D
(ID #269790) Posted on 2008/08/19 11:05
Hahaha! That's why their names sounded so familiar. They were all named after famous WW1 and WW2 ace pilots.
(ID #269791) Posted on 2008/08/19 11:08
I just watched two episodes of this after seeing this topic. I'm not sure what to think about the show at the moment but the aerial scenes are definitely top notch. For Gonzo shows that I've seen, I'd probably put Last Exile as my favourite. I'd have given the mantle to Samurai 7 but they had a few episodes where they really cut back the budget on the animation. Trinity Blood was also great until the ending. But without a doubt, Gonzo has killer animation.

I really like Strike WItches although there is a bit too much fanservice but I am happy that the plot is progressing rather well. The characters are well drawn with their Striker Unit. Check out my blog for more screens.

I had no idea that there was an actual story around those wacky figures. It makes more sense, now. I will have to pick it up, if it ever gets licensed in the U.S. E^D
(ID #269827) Posted on 2008/08/19 12:09
Gah it looks like sky girls version 2 with more fighting than just forming up in a triangle and instant 1 hit killing everything... which might make it enuff to make the to watch list >.<

Yup I'm watching this as well had to have something to replace Sky Girls and Strike Witches does disappoint to much. Episode 7 was a good laugh I thought. My favorite is Charlette E Yeager as she's a speed freak.

Ok so the girls are Megacute, but really... havn't we seen this same thing about a million times? Regardless I'm such a sucker for the cute girls that I might still watch an episode or two.
(ID #269861) Posted on 2008/08/19 13:06
I would feel better about watching this (I still watch it anyway) if they gave us more of a background on the villans .. they're just mindless ships that fly around for no apparent reason. The girls are cute an the story is better than expected. A whole episode about girls stealing pantsu .... genuis!
(ID #269862) Posted on 2008/08/19 13:10

I wish they would at least wear some thicker clothing and gas-mask: at those altitudes it should be freezing and not to mention the lack of oxygen up there ought to send many of them spiraling down to earth. Last thing we want is any of them getting sick.

(ID #269918) Posted on 2008/08/19 14:22
The animation looks nice, but i don't think i'll watch it for now. Only other Gonzo show i've seen is Samurai 7 and that was okay, but Seven samurai was better. A fun series though overall.
(ID #269950) Posted on 2008/08/19 14:52
I'm not much for GONZO produced shows. They tend to focus on a lot of flair, a lot of fanservice, and a lot of easily forgettable story. If it was one or both of the first two, that would be fine, but they try hard to press it into a story--kind of like painting tofu yellow and calling it cheddar. Still hate what they did to Full Metal Panic as a "first season."

I never did watch Sky Girls, but Strike Witches is currently on my watch list. I like the stories that they've done for the girls so far. I never checked, but is this a 13 or 26 episode series?

Looks interesting...another one to add to the list of to watch...thanks for this one danny...

Cute girls an lot of fan service, and nothing else. I'm remember the days of Last Exile that was a real good one.

I love Strike Witches and it really made my summer go too fast. :P Partly, since I've been waiting almost a year since the OVA came out(you'll see how much the character designs changed), as well as purchased vol. 1 of the trading figures. Thanks for your comment on the Strike Subs blog, Danny! :)

I guess I'll download it and take a look. If I get bored with it I'll just burn it and watch it some other time.

FYI, i suggest you to watch the first THREE episode, not just the first That way, you will get a glimpse of the personality of ALL the strike witches..

wow... I haven't seen so much pantsu fanservice in a military-esque anime since... FMP o_0 Maybe I'll give it a try if I have the time to watch anime ^^; Oh and Danny, I think I might be a little late but I've just stumbled upon your new main page layout... it looks FANTASTIC! :D Love how every news item seem to pop out more now while keeping your articles on main focus. Awesome job ^^

I've enjoyed "Strike Witches" so far as well. And while it a series that at its core was born from fanservice elements, it's still executed well enough as to not become bothersome or over the top. Some other recent series as "Sekieri" with mso tof the characters having absurdly large chests take it a bit too far, further than needed and that can get annoying. (Mind you I still enjoy "Sekirei", I just think their chests could have been half as big and still would have been plenty.)
(ID #270410) Posted on 2008/08/20 04:32
I've got to admit, I watched the first episode and I wasn't impressed at all. I might give it another go in the future, but it just really didn't grab me.

Why is everyone have a misconception of Strike Witches as pantsu fanservice? Me myself prefer to enjoy the episodes and the storyline.. instead of focusing to te pantsu all the times .. It's all from your mind and imagination..
(ID #271087) Posted on 2008/08/20 14:52
It can't be helped, since they only wear panties for lower body. (Except the 2 white hair ones) Like panty shots all the time equates to Fanservice only.. or something like that as generalization.. But who cares.. I'll still enjoy it even if it's not popular~~

Then why are everyone focusing and discussing of the pantsu all the times? Not the character development, character relationship, etc etc, only the pantsu @_@ I'm glad eps 4 is rather serious., which somehow cleans this misconception a bit ..
(ID #271497) Posted on 2008/08/20 21:14
hmmm.. I think it's because they like Panties? lol XD As for me, pantyshot heaven or not.. As long as the show's about Aviation or aviation themed/Inspired, it's a must Watch~~ I just love the scenery in Episode 4~ They flew over the thick overcast, something that i didn't saw in Sky Girls. I'm also waiting for Sky Crawlers, another Aviation oriented Anime release of the year :)

I wished they'd dogfight against another girl under the influence of Neuroi. Her striker unit could be patterned after the Me-262.. Or another season wherein it would be set in the 60's or 80s's. The girls striker units would patterned after the cold war jets and hope they'd wear more clothing :P Sorry for the Spam/Pointless Wish list

Will watch it! Most memorable gonzo serie? phew,although i have seen most of gonzo's shows,Speed Grapher,Gantz and Full Metal Panic are the first ones that comes in to mind.

I've been watching this, it's really good. Totally not just a fanservice anime. Love the charactres and story in it.
(ID #273641) Posted on 2008/08/22 07:43
I will tried... not look like a drama show
(ID #273770) Posted on 2008/08/22 10:16
Watched the first episode. Didn't draw me in much, but I will watch the second just to see what it's like.
(ID #274177) Posted on 2008/08/22 16:15
The fighting scenes are nice... I find the series something like Rozen maiden + Area88 sky crawlers + well.. i couldnt name a good recent WWII series really.. its nice to see planes/girls flying in the air more and shoot like right fighters.. not just floating there talking to each other on the screen and then dashing at each other for the kill
(ID #274798) Posted on 2008/08/23 03:08
It's a nice show, only fanservice, not more, not less. If you like extreme ecchi you'll like this, but if you don't... XD However, who say it's "very bad" simply don't like this kind of anime
(ID #275843) Posted on 2008/08/24 01:53
Caught up and watched more episodes. I'll probably watch the rest if I remember to but it's not going to get me hyped up every week like Gundam 00 was doing for me during season 1.

I really want to watch this, but i can't seem to find direct download links on the net. I can't download thru torrent, got some restrictions on my connection... and my pocket (want to avoid buying the low quality DVDs from the shops in Malaysia... most of them are crap!) Links anyone?

I watched the first episode of this and although I was somewhat entertained, I stopped it there. I just feel that the fanservice will catch up to me at some point and I'd rather not waste my time.

Just started watching it, finished the first episode. Sky Girls was awesome, but this is even better! xD And it's not all fanservice... D= I think I'm going to love this series... =D Favorite show from Gonzo? Strike Witches =3 Haven't watched the OVA but I'll do so later on xD

(ID #339182) Posted on 2008/10/19 12:21
I have only seen the first episode of this show. I was first surprised by its lack of bottoms for the girls. As the first time I watched this show was at my anime club this weekend. I may continue to watch the show as I'm not sure if it is good idea to purse such a show in the U.S. The other item that surprised me is that the show is made be GONZO then again they made Burst Angel so it makes sesnce. Either way it probably is a good show and I will watch. Thanks again for your insight on the matter.
(ID #340106) Posted on 2008/10/20 12:20
I watched the first episode earlier today. I was pleasantly surprised. I delayed watching it until now because I thought what Danny (and most people, probably) thought: that it would just be total crap with the odd badly drawn camel toe. It's nice to be proven wrong in this case, though it's still not the sort of show you could watch when a non-anime-watching friend comes round (for me that's all of my friends but one; most of my friends haven't even heard of DBZ or Gundam).

I don't know about everyone else, but i do prefer to watch an anime series that doesn't do fanservice and stick it in your face like this. Cute girls facing impossible odds and wearing cat ear gear and panties while flying around shooting weapons? Too cutsey and fanservice-y for me...... >.<

This was and still is one of my favorite anime series I've watched. I love the art, music and combat scenes not to mention the moe-filled girls. Though there are an excess amount of pantsu shots I didn't really care for it. I was just interested in the story and stuff. Charlotte is definitely my favorite strike witch. Nothing better than a thrill seeking woman ;D
