Strike Witches 2 Score: 3/5 Review: I'm not really sure why I watched this series either. I haven't seen the first Strike Witches beyond the first two episodes, so I don't entirely understand what's going on in this series. Not that it really matters since the only people who would bother watching this series would be the fans of the first one. Fans of the first one obviously don't need me to tell them to watch this, and probably don't really care about my opinion of it either. It isn't all that bad though. A bit fanservicey... okay extremely fanservicey but it didn't really bother me as much as it normally does, because when there's as much of it as there is in this my mind just kind of shuts down and I become numb to it. The show at least has good animation and a decent story, and the only real problem with it would be the excessive underage fanservice, but there are easily worse things you could be watching. If you're a fan of catgirls, foxgirls, panties, or... little girls I guess, and you aren't watching Strike Witches 2 you probably should, after watching the first series of course. Anyone else can pass on this one, just like you did for the first. For the record, the screenshot up there was chosen because I found it funny that even a stuffed doll in this series is flashing its panties. Strike Witches 2 is available streaming through Crunchyroll.

Oh shi– Mmmm, more pantsuless witches. First season was a surprise hit for me despite the odds and judging from the premiere, SW2 looks set to equal or better it’s predecessor in terms of pure action, although whether it will keep to the light-heartedness of the first season remains to be seen. At least, along with [...]

Shiki Short Synopsis: Our lead character is a typical teen-aged girl who doesn’t like the place she’s grow up in. Well.. so this series really has an issue with its character-designs. The unimportant characters are fine, and the females range from decent-looking teenagers to actually great looking parents. But the males, dear god, the poor males. [...]

Strike Witches 2 Attack of the Moe. If you haven’t seen the first series I do not recommend watching this anime, as it has a lot to do with the first season. The Power of Moe Compels You! The story begins 6 months after the original anime, another team of witches is en route to [...] Related posts:The Tatami Galaxy 1 K-On!! Episode 01 House of Five Leaves 12 [END]

The original series of Strike Witches has always been something of a figure of fun for me to poke and prod at from time to time, on account of its incredibly cynical use of as many moe database elements as it can muster melded with a hefty topping of fan service to create what can only be described as some kind of dragnet for otaku. That said however, I also have to confess that beyond those

Taking a cue from ANN, the above sums up my impression of Strike Witches 2. The first episode of season two plays a lot like the first episode of season one, which kind of made it funny to watch. Actually, it looks like Strike Witches season 2 is in good hands with production transitioning from Gonzo [...]

It was decidedly more of the same, almost exactly the same. Some difference is there, of course. The action is set in the Spring of 1945. There are a lot more witches. Yamato was inserted for no good reason. And so on and so forth. But overall, more of the same. In fact, Sakamoto and [...]

This time, it’s personal. Even when I first watched Strike Witches on a lark two summers ago, I never thought I’d actually like it. Oh yes, it’s trash, but it’s well-meaning...

  I’d have just made a bunch of butt jokes anyway. Impressions: You know… I was planning on just sitting back, turning off my brain, making a few snide remarks about nobody having any pants… maybe even seeing if I could cull together 80 caps of butts… All to cover that I have no real plans to [...]

I can already hear the dramatic swoosh of a thousand anime fans’ noses turning in the air.  More Strike Witches?  Perverted garbage, they cry as one!  But why?  The aerial battles are good, the characters are interesting, the high concept is the ultimate geek fantasy.  And really, nobody’s ever died from looking at a few [...]

Three new trailers have gone up for the upcoming Aki Sora [...]

Strike Witches 2 starts airing on July 7 and I hope it will be an enjoyable watch, as the first season was.<object width="500" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/efIVIzfBkKo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/efIVIzfBkKo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="300"></embed></object>A bonus NSFW picture that I found very nice.
