At A Glance – Strike Witches

Posted on July 8, 2008 by dingsan

GONZO’s at it again. I should just end it here, but that would be passing up an opportunity to examine an anime which tries to play on every known otaku fetish. I’ve got this tagged with mecha musume, lolicon, fanservice, girls with guns, magical girls, and furries. And the rather redundant “waste of space.” I should also state right now that I’ve only streamed the second trailer online.

The Good:
It’s 13 episodes long.The Bad:
Forget red flags – such a conglomeration of queer turn-ons for queerer people should be raising the dead. A state of the union address from the Japanese president seems like an appropriate course of action. Seriously though – the entire cast consists of lolis (I hate lolis the most). Henceforth, every person over the age of 18 who continues to follow this series ought to be put on the Sex Offenders Registry.

The Future:

Yeah, I just wanted to hate on this anime. But hey – with everyone else jumping for joy watching elementary-school-age catgirls loading up their anti-tank rifles with magical bullets while suiting up in powered exoskeletons wearing nothing but low-rise panties (that covers everything, right?), who else can answer the call of duty?

I see why GONZO is having financial difficulties.

    I was going to try to watch this anime, but I backed out the last second. After looking at screenshots, I was like:
    Lolis… I don’t really like them, but I can overlook that factor- Wait!! Where are their pants? Nevermind… what else is there to watch…

    Yeah, I’m not watching this show. -_-

    Sky Girls was more tolerable than this, although I dropped that after an even lollier loli was added to the three existing lolis.
    Summer anime does have saving graces with Princess no Rondo, School Rumble San Gakki, and the Gurren Lagann movie – condensed epic.

    So wait, you didn’t even watch the show?

    Hey, I liked Strike Witches, even though the lack of pants is present, it seemed awesome. And i kinda liked the anti-tank rifled awesome in-air combat with awesome animations.

    But that’s my opinion, so either I’m wrong or everybody commenting negatively about it is a bunch of twats

    (And before you call me a sex offender, take a hint…I’m 17)
