Strike Witches Everytime summer arrives, the big-budget Hollywood movies come too. It seems to be the most lucrative season of mainstream film the whole year, as blockbuster after blockbuster gets released in a span of a few months. Granted that there are some exceptions to the rule, but generally, summer blockbusters are usually shallow, popcorn entertainment [...]

Episode 27 of tame loli anime Zettai Karen Children has sprung more than a few surprises, with no fewer than three different crossover cameos appearing in the episode. Perrine, Sanya and Eila of Strike Witches all appear in the classroom, the girls of Lucky Star also appear in another background (with brown hair no less), [...]

Good Smile Company have some topical Nendoroids in store: moe nun Index of A Certain Magical Index, unpopular witch Yoshika of Strike Witches, and new tsundere icon Aisaka of ToraDora.

  Oh lord, what the hell happened here? Impressions: Ladies and gentlemen, a moment of silence please for Over the Future World. … *sigh* I really don’t like the new OP. In fact, the whole episode felt pretty weird. Gonzo had a hand in producing this episode (and I think will be heavily contributing in the future as [...]

Pantsu shots can be portrayed with style and artistry, (*ahem*) just take a look at Strike Witches and you’ll [...]

I’m surprised with how much I ended up liking this series. Going into it, it seemed very similar to Sky Girls which I wasn’t a giant fan of mainly because it took them forever to do nothing. Still, I gave this a shot and found it to be much more interesting then I thought. It [...]

The Strike Witches rendered into something of a unique visual style for a pantsu anime, namely that of a child’s illustrated story book. I suspect sales would be brisk were they to actually release such a volume. Hard to say which is the most appealing?

Watching Strike Witches end like this reminds me of Jack in The Nightmare Before Christmas, in which he, although being the pumping king the horrific genius of every Halloweens, decides to tackle another holiday that is completely foreign to his nature—Christmas. The end result of his misadventure is complete disaster, just like Strike Witches [...]

This week in Anime Pulp: lolis, furries, and shooting stuff! Strike Witches is set in the 1940s and revolves around young girls flying around in the sky blowing up alien ships known as Neuroi. The main character is a girl named Yoshika Miyafuji. She is the daughter of the inventor of the Striker Unit. The striker units are the weapons used to fight the Neuroi. The story, however, revolves less around the war and more on the girls' pasts.And we talk about a few things before we go to the review. Bandai Entertainment picks up the Gurren Lagann manga. Macross Frontier movie was announced. Plus, we talk about shows coming out this Fall.
