Mina and Mio were lovable and charismatic leaders, even when they were harsh. Also Yoshika and Lynne are such an adorable couple oh my god. Yoshika, Lynne, and Perrine were all super enjoyable to watch as they grew into experienced witches the rest could count on, Yoshika especially with her latent OP powers. Everyone is perfectly characterized such that I can practically sympathize with them all no matter what they do, this accompanying the fact that they're pretty much all somewhat archetypal and the eleven girls in the 501st are pretty much all the major characters. But it's not only an ecchi, it's a character-focused magical girl action/slice-of-life ecchi. None of it even felt distasteful because Strike Witches is designed as an ecchi from the ground up, actually to me it came off as just making it cuter rather than trying to be hot. Strike Witches is actively indulgent in pleasing the crowd that likes cute kemonomimi military girls to the point where you get actual uncensored titties every other episode, and I love every second of it. Yes, Strike Witches is very much a fanservice anime, and here I mean it in the best way possible. They wear the "striker units" on their legs which means they just never wear pants, though some No but Girls und Panzer this is not, here they're actually at war and also it's a Mahou Shoujo. Strike Witches is far and away the ˢᵉᶜᵒⁿᵈ best military girls anime I've seen.

This review will kind of be sectioned off, so yeah.įirst, Strike Witches itself, which it feels like I finished a long time ago cause I kinda did. Strike Witches is a show I'll have a special place in my heart for for a long time, especially since they're still consistently coming out with entries apparently. Yoshika, incapable of abandoning her friends on the front lines, must once again venture to the war-torn continent. To make matters worse, a newly spotted humanoid type of Neuroi is attempting to come into contact with humans. A Neuroi nest of an unprecedented size and might has appeared over Venezia, wiping out local Witch forces and instantly swallowing the northern part of the country. Meanwhile, a new threat in Europe is rising. The Unit, designed specifically for Yoshika, might be capable of harnessing her extraordinary magical powers. She receives a letter supposedly sent by her long-deceased father, containing blueprints of a state-of-the-art Striker Unit he had been working on before his death. Yoshika Miyafuji, member of the famed 501st Joint Fighter Wing, has come back home to Fuso and graduated from middle school.

Six months have passed since the victorious Battle of Britannia and the reclamation of Gallia from Neuroi invaders.
