I think ep 9 was the best episode yet. Strike Witches is so more than just crass erotic fanservice, it's the loveable and relateable moe characters that make it work. I find Yoshika, Mio, and Minna's struggles thrilling and engaging. I have to disagree with all the haters. I think ep 9 was the best episode yet.

It's not hopeless, but they've already wasted 2 episodes on crap no one cares about. Or no one shouldn't -I know people will defend anything. It's pretty obvious what Strike Witches' selling points are, and they seemed fairly competent at exploiting them in the previous episodes, so, what happened? I don't come for a rich wartime story, or to witness the anguish of youngsters in the frontlines. I'm certainly not interested in the stock enemies or the tired cliché of machines that only children are able to pilot. I want light entertainment, blunt fanservice, looped videos on nico, imageboards spammed with underwear, and the occassional fight scene where things look bad but they manage to save the day and come back to the base to grope each other's tits in the showers.

The story in Strike Witches is nothing remarkable; it's basically just a rehash of every single Imperial Navy-era anime cliche. Plus Strike Witches isn't the first to combine Imperial Navy-era settings with cute girls (Virgin Fleet, Raimuiro Senkitan, Sakura Taisen, etc). Hear hear.

Pantsu Witches is supposed to be all pantsu, all the time. If I want aerial warfare martial drama, I watch a masterpiece like Last Exile, not some ridiculous anime with girls flying around with no drawers on...

I don't know about you, but I'm not just in it for the pantsu. If it's fan service you're looking for, you should probably stick to something like To-LOVE-Ru. Lol. =) Episode 8 sucked balls, but I thought Strike Witches redeemed itself with Episode 9. I don't know about you, but I'm not just in it for the pantsu.
