He’s one of the writers at the awesomely-named Drastic My Anime Blog (a great reference though I’m not a big Scryed fan), and though he seems to like Strike Witches, I value his opinion. TheBigN is in [...]

Gosh. There is something really strange with Strike Witches! I am supposed to be annoyed with its fanservice but somehow it is feeling damn great. It is like the ultimate tease to fans of fanservice. FANSERVICE, IT IS WHAT YOU WANT RIGHT? SO TAKE IT! While I am suppose to roll my eyes because of [...]

Yoshika makes more friends in this episode; this time she turns 2 potential enemies into allies. Again, we see Yoshika pushing herself to the limit in the magic arena so that she can save her comrade. There’s focus on Barkhorn this time; the others Witches will earn their screen time soon enough. Below is an [...]

Is it just me or does this series seem to be moving along quickly? It feels like it should only be episode three. Or rather, that I’ve only been watching for three weeks. It must just be me then. Being busy in summer when you should have nothing to do (like…no job), sucks. But anyway, this [...]
