No, loli is not based on the age of consent, it more broadly encapsulates neotenic traits. You can have lolis above the age of consent (or majority, or retirement) just like you can have people under the age of consent who are not loli (like the Terminator).

These guys seem to think they need to be toddlerkon or something for it to be loli, sheesh. Glad to see some sensibility ere.

AFAIK "lolita" has nothing to do with cup size,
they just need to be younger than the age of consent.

Lolis is about DFC, those girls don't have DFC. The only girl who could be called loli is the 12-year old but she also has tits. If you're gonna mention a loli show, mention Moetan not this thing. Seriously buy a brain.

Actually Anon, what marks a loli is the presence of neotonous traits.

Putting that aside though, Strike Witches does indeed contain lolis. In my experienced eyes, I'd qualify pretty much half the cast as being lolis.

They're loli, get over it.

You're the only person to assert they are not, Japanese or not. Calling everyone who disagrees with you retarded or a bunch of idiots only illustrates how desperate your position is.

Stop being retarded. They are not. -__-
Just because a bunch of idiots say they are doesn't mean they are. They all have tits. It's just some random stupid fanservice show. There's nothing loli of it.

They would not be out of place in the likes of LO, and everyone writing about them in Japanese has been calling them loli, so they are loli. Yoshika pretty much indisputably so.

Age is not what makes the loli, body proportions are. None of them look like little girls, therefore none of them are lolis.

Lucchini is 12, Sanya is 13, Yoshika is 14. Loli pantsu.

I loved the show, and am entertaining thoughts of someday getting the DVDs. Of course I'll be watching them as soon as they get out.

Still, the series did feel too short. The mecha musume fanservice+light hearted episodes, the show's best aspect, did take up too much airtime to properly flesh out any backround story. Compare to Sky Girls, for example. First 6 or so episodes (and the pantsu-stealing masterpiece) were really the highlight of the show for me.

The ending gave me the impression that they wanted to be safe and give us both a a closure episode along with a possibility for a sequel in case they do manage to make one.

There are so many plot holes I hate to think about the plot at all. Luckily, I get to concentrate on capping pantsu.

I'm inclined to agree with you, but I think the whole "this is just an elaborate ruse" aspect would be much better carried off if they gave it a sophisticated air of parody or irony; as it stands I am not convinced it is not sincere...

As a post-modern consumer, I can easily appreciate shows with two schizophrenically different sides to them.

Also, I liked the drama. I ;_;'ed for Lynne, Perrine, Yoshika, Minna, and Sanya so many times.

I actually didn't mind all the silliness and plot holes that were left in this last part. It shows so little effort that it can only be intentional, a way of telling the audience "we don't take this seriously either, but bear with us, there'll be beamspam and a happy ending". The "neuroi are not bad" thing was left unresolved, which is also a good thing, but it would have been even better if that issue had never been presented in the first place. Its only purpose was to give an excuse to disband the squadron, but the truth is they could have used anything else, or no excuse at all, and used that episode for comedy and fanservice or better action scenes. All things considered, it could have been infinitely worse. I'll definitely watch the DVD version.

Is Gonzo... and thats all for the action scene? Sigh... frankly speaking, I don't really appreciate the pantsu. The reason I'm attracted to this show is the weaponary & Bullets spamming, & it is not enough IMHO~!

Now the question is: Is the DVD already released? And will we see what was under the steam all the time?

If we will, then it's time for a new massiv shipping order from japan!
