Otaku megastore Tora no Ana is marking the final DVD release of Strike Witches with this point-valued written test which tasks prospective Pantsu experts to identify the various witches only by their oshiri and pantsu (or rather, trousers), and to translate two well known phrases from the show back into Japanese from English.
A translation is given here in case you may wish to test your own pantsu prowess…
2009 School Year “Shiri” Official Certification Top-Grade Written Examination
Name:
Question 1: Fill in the 【 】 with the name of the person!
(Each answer is worth 8 points.)
Question 2: Translate the English sentences into “Strike Witches style.”
1. Is it only today?
2. Because it is not underpants, I am not ashamed.
(Each answer is worth 6 points.)
Given the ease of the questions, any fan should be able to to get a perfect score in no time at all. It took me about 2 minutes to finish, most of which was trying to remember Erica’s full name…
The above display is from Tora no Ana‘s main Akihabara store, which has done quite a lot of Strike Witches promotional displays recently:

“Aahh…what a marvelous 【shiri】!”

Started watching it, on episode 3.
No matter what happens on the screen I always think how silly the whole pantsless premise is (someone's head could explode and I'll still have a smirk on my face).
This series can be enjoyed if not taken seriously (and hoping nobody catches you watching it ;P ).
Just mindless fun.
How could you Quen! Forgetting mai favourite witches' name ><
It was "Hartmann" that took a while to remember. ^^
This test should be done to all school children since the anime has culture significance and supported by government.
I could identify all of the witches there with only their pantsu...
But then I don't know how to turn that english to strike witches style... What's that suppose to mean?
Why do people use Pantsu instead of Pantei. When it comes to describing female undergarments?
Pantsu just means Pants / Underpants.
I am ashamed to say that I was not able to correctly name all the witches whose pants were shown. I got above half though...Lynette, Charlotte, Gertrud, and Minna eluded me however.
ya know, if they got rid of the stupid "pantsu" theme, this could've actually been a decent anime to enjoy.

Oh nice! Taking it now... >:3
Will you haet me if I say that I haeted this anime? Loli + pantsu + inu/neko mimi + magic girls + ATTEMPTS AT SERIOUS STORY = Epic silly
I won't haet you ... i'd just hate you.
Replace silly with win and i'd agree.
Its better than Macross frontier....or at least its so fun I don't have to think much to enjoy it...
I didn't think it was a "good" anime either, but damn I enjoyed it.
That is the true definition of anime.
Well that was a fun way to kill 5 minutes
I'm so tempted to buy the DVD's, but I already told myself I'm waiting for the Blu-rays...
*crosses fingers* (please release on Blu-ray!)
will 1 BD enough ? ijust wonder, how many episodes can one BD hold,
i'm just want to buy a certain anime in Blu-rays, but considering i never, maybe i can have some info/advice? thx if you/anyone can help :)
Same.
BD plz
No comments yet? F1rst p0st!
Was my reply moved just to spite me? Better do 2nd posts in the future, I guess.
Be quiet, bitch pig.
LOL your reply sounded like hawt foreplay...
Nygren weakly protests, "..just to s-spite me?"
He is then slapped down hard by Narcissist.
Narcissist seductively whispers sweet nothings into Nygren's virgin ears. Nygren is increasingly agitated...yet aroused.
He's about to scream, but then Narcissist takes hold of him.
He softly whispers,
"Be quiet, bitch pig."
HOT STUFF!!!!
you gotta be shitting me... my first post got deleted and this remains? ...
Sorry.
Nygren's post is indeed close to the "1st post" comments we do delete...
Fail.
It is interesting that they make a valid point: Since they consider the panties 'pants', they really aren't revealing anything naughty. :)
It's ironic that the narrow minded prudes who would denounce this are the same people who shove the 'panties aren't supposed to be shown by ladies' moralistic crap down peoples' throats. So they cause the sexual attraction to undergarments by hiding them in the first place and then condemn anyone who shows/wants to look at them. Easy solution: Get rid of the prudes. :)
I support this solution 100%.
Kanpai!
A 20+ pedo-cartoon-masturbator who is a virgin in real life calling normal people "prudes" is the motherfucking DEFINITION of irony.
People that use PRUDE against others HAVE USUALLY HAD REAL SEX AT SOME POINT their lives. MASTURBATING TO PREPUBESCENT PANTY SHOTS DOES NOT COUNT.
You just contradicted yourself, which invalidates your ill-founded argument.
Calling "normal" people prudes = virgin?
-yet-
People that use the word prude = have had real sex?
That's irony writ large.
Oh and, just for the record, most of them are in their late teens and early twenties... which hardly counts as "pre-pubescent".
12-20, I think the average would be 15 or so?
With implants. Happy fapping.
Yup, Shirley's breasts sure are those of a 12 year old.
Well still, it's past the point where that label no longer applies.
Off the top of my head -
12
13 (becomes 14 in episode 6)
14 (becomes 15 in same episode)
15
16
18
20
You're completely warping what I said, RSKuroi. ( "Ronery-Sensei-Kuroi?" )
I didn't say "calling normal people prudes = virgin". I said A virgin calling people prudes is IRONIC. And people that USUALLY call others prudes are non-virgins. (Unlike Anon#1, most likely. I could go in to detail as to WHY EXACTLY I think he's a virgin but that's beside the point here. )
So once you CORRECTLY READ the post (which really shouldn't be that hard. Maybe you need more sleep? Less drugs? ) your whole " Irony Writ Large" falls apart.
As far as the AGE of these pilots. Look, you can quote numbers all day long---their body sizes and shapes are what ultimately matter.
No way in hell are they biologically over 12.
But I'm not here to judge that part. I'm just saying that Anon#1 was being hella ironic.
my definition of irony is when you Assume things you made an Ass out of U and Me? well anyway can you even understand half of the WWII reference there?
Ass out of U and Me? That goes back to the Odd Couple!! Heheh, a bit old aren't we?
As far as the WWII references...dude I GET IT. I totally understand the Earth-shaking historical references about WW2 prop planes (Messershmitt,Mig,Spitfire,Skoda) that can only be piloted by prepubescent girls that have to merge with the planes---except the machines'll only work if they show their PANTIES in the skies of Europe!
I get that part.

1.今日だけですか?
2.パンツじゃないから、恥ずかしくない
Okay! the rest is up to you guys!
My knowledge of the written language is sorely tested. I don't know kanji,hiragana OR katakana. ;_;
Hmm, I don't think most people bother to learn Katakana. It's quite hard to read too, as alot of the sounds have similar stroke patterns, with the only difference between them being a slight incline on a stroke. Like shi and tsu are very similar, and ke and ku.
シ shi, ツ tsu, ク ku, ケ ke.
and ソso, ンn
and メme vs. ノno always makes me pause for a moment.
I was drinking coffee then I see this! Good thing I swallowed fast despite its really hot. Now LOL mode.
XD
