Opening – “STRIKE WITCHES” by Yoko Ishida

Strike Witches(ストライクウィッチーズ) is an animation production by Gonzo and it first aired on the 3rd of July 2008. There are 13 episodes available and its running time is half an hour for each episode. The opening is called “STRIKE WITCHES” just like the title of the show by Yoko Ishida while the ending is called “Bukkumaaku A-Heddo”. It’s about a team of girls who use magic-powered aircraft to fight their archnemesis, the Neuroi.

Ending – “Bukkumaaku A・Heddo”

Thoughts:

As you can see, it’s an anime full of soft-ecchi most of them are panty shots. Majority of the females in the show do not wear pants. It was said that the reason of not wearing pants was that they needed to be able to jump into the Striker Units quickly. Ok, that’s quite reasonable but how about the students and even the lunch lady?? In the actual show, every girls do not wear pants. This is unexpected from Gonzo.

The Striker Units look pretty lame to me compare to Code Geass Knightmares. But, I’ll give the show a chance. Who knows, maybe it’s going to be entertaining. I guess this anime filled with fan service are for mecha obsessed otaku. So basically it’s an anime about flying lolis with ears and tails killing the bad guy. I say, the show would be better if it’s more serious and the pantie-only rule kinda bothers me and also it filled up the episode. (They’re having a skirt shortage because of the war.)

Oh~ and I also found a comment that really cracked me up.

Wow anime is known for its short skirts but these guys just got rid of them all together wow.
