As much as I want to dislike and discredit Strike Witches, I must admit… that series a true guilty pleasure.
There really was not much good–longstanding good at least, yet there was a certain fapfapfap charm about it that kept me watching. Classic example of a show with a lot of peripherals, but little substance. I enjoyed the character designs, the music, and the voice cast, but unfortunately nearly everything else was average or lacking. Alien beings/robots/whatever with uber technological know how destroys most of the planet and our only hope are a group of bishoujo oozing moe and wielding heavy artillery. Piss poor storytelling culminating in an overly dramatic and rushed ending. The perfect brain dead anime to watch when you do not have anything worthwhile to watch or the yet another Holy Grail for the moetarded to fapfapfap to get giddy about. But hey, (uncensored DVD) BOOBIES! fapfapfap…
And there is more coming soon.
Gonzo Confirmed to Animate 2nd Strike Witches Season

The inaugural issue of Kadokawa Shoten’s Nyantype magazine will confirm on Thursday that Gonzo is the anime studio producing the second anime season of Strike Witches. Like the 2007 video anime and the first television anime season (2008), the tentatively titled “Strike Witches 2-ki” is based on Humikane Shimada’s mecha-girl illustrations. Most of the main staff will return from the first season, including director and anime character designer Kazuhiro Takamura, the series script supervisor “Striker Unit,” and Takaaki Suzuki who helps develop the setting of the story’s world view and military matters.
The North American anime distributor Funimation announced this month that it acquired the rights to release the first Strike Witches television anime season. Crunchyroll and BOST TV had been streaming the first anime season since it premiered in Japan last July.
Due to the restructuring that it announced last November, Gonzo said that it would reduce its annual anime output from about eight projects to four. Gonzo had previously announced that it would be working on the recently ended The Tower of DRUAGA -the Sword of URUK- anime, Slap Up Party -Arad Senki-, Shangri-La, Saki, and Alive – Saishū Shinka teki Shōnen in 2009. (Alive – Saishū Shinka teki Shōnen was originally planned as a co-production between Gonzo and another anime studio, AIC.)
Hooray. Not Hooray! Hooray. Like I mentioned, Strike Witches was 100% guilty pleasure, so I am excited for more girls with tails and propellers attached to their legs. In a way I am much more excited about this second season than I was about the first season primarily because we should actually be getting story this time around. I am hoping to get answers to plot points that were not addressed last year. What happened to Yoshika’s father? What was his real role in the story? Who or what are the Neuroi? Why are Lynette and Sanya so delicious? Why does everyone fapfapfap over Lucchini’s lack of a chest when she is the most useless and annoying character? Questions were posed that need answers and I see no reason why season 2 would not address them. We have had the fun and games and we have had the character introductions. It is time to get right to the point.
And more Nazuka Kaori, please. Nazuka Kaori <3 <3 <3
a second season?? wow. I hope to be as good as the first one.
Hmmmm, I don’t get why Sanya is so appealing to people when she has the least skin exposure. As for Lucchini, although I don’t like her, I’ll say it’s probably fang combined with low-thigh blue striped panties.
I figured the fang and the stripes… people love cut-n-paste characters I guess. You’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.
As for Sanya, the fact that she is the least showy makes her appealing (Kawdowaki Mai helps a lot too). Big breasts? Scant clothing? Excessive moe? ::yawn:: Been there, done that, have a dozen t-shirts from the years.
