2ch circulates an interesting rumour of uncertain provenance: evil publisher Kadokawa may drop Gonzo as the producer of the upcoming second season of Strike Witches, supposedly as they have no need of them.
Given Gonzo’s troubles, such a move may seem less unlikely than otherwise, and all manner of utterly baseless speculation flies as to whether the likes of Kyoto Animation or Gainax might pick it up in their stead (artist’s impression below).
Even in the case of Gonzo being dropped, it seems likely that the current director, and of course the seiyuu cast, will be unchanged, so fans need not worry too much, only wait and see if this latest rumour turns out to be another dark chapter in the history of Gonzo…

Gainax fanservice plus mindfuck? DO WANT! DO WANT! DO WANT! DO WANT!!
KyoAni rendition is acceptable ...
without strike witches gonzo is pretty much dead...wait, aren't they already dead?
If they're losing Strike Witches they better lose there other animes too. Most especially the ones they screwed up.
The fan service must be the flag of those who take the the new season.
If Gonzo (hypothetically) are out of the second season, then they are completely finished.
If Gonzo goes down, I'll make sure each and every one of you go down with it!!!
!
Gonzo actually did a good job at this. So it will be sad and utterly useless to say or even think of the name Strike Witches without Gonzo in it.
rumor .. that about it..
Why all the Gonzo hate? I understand Rosario+Vampire, but none of that censoring occured in SW.
You people have to remember the production company dose not control the direction of the anime plot and setup that's already done when by the time a production company is chosen.
NO PANTSU!? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCK!
I didn't know you're a fan of pantsu.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCK NOOOOOOOO!!! PANTSUUUUUU!
in my opinion i dont care wich estudio take SW, i just want the series to have a more seruis and worked plot. and yuri, for godsakes yuri, at least mio and minna kissing or something.
(god i have a serious obsesion with yuri, dam)
WOOOOOO!!!!
I totally agree with ya Anon-san!
Minna x Mio = FTW!!!
Give us MOAR yuri too! I've been wanting to see it in my SW!
A HA HA HA! I see, April Fools!
....
Oh. Jumped the gun there a little...
Gonzo's gone a long way since Last Exile.
I blame the overwhelming global recession.
Also, Gantz.
Bah.. why not make a new lucky star instead :3
what the fuck i dunno!!!
If this is true, the director should be killed ASAP and replaced by a thinking one... Fanservice is the very elemental rule of anime popularity in Japan among, well teenagers and above... As for the story, was there really so much importance in the neuroi? Do you suggest we go with this anime historically and swap the girls into men in full army uniforms?
If you think so, go check with your doc, he should tell you whats wrong with you...
the last nail on GONZO's coffin?
Nooo. This is the one thing they've done right. :(
Strike Witches - Gonzo = less fanservice?
does this compute?
Haha I think there is a boycott in the workings if its not Gonzo?
And nothing of value was lost.
ha! that is what they get for censoring anime... Fuck gonzo...
get rid of the lolis. more sakamoto and minna.
You SIR! Are my mortal enemy for life :pif:
Agreed! More Minna x Sakamoto!!!
I'm fine whether there will be lolis or not.
I'm not really into lolis.
I just enjoyed the show in general...
And you're saying that with a loli avatar.. >_>
There are only five lolis out of the eleven witches in SW, why complaining?
no lolis!!!! noooooooo!!!! protect 'em lolis!!!
Hilarious mock-ups, by the way.
Hell no. KyoAni will screw it up and Gainax is just not compatible with Strike Witches.
Tengen Toppa Gurren-Witches?
Pantsless lolis the size of galaxies discussing cornets. Hmm...
Lucky Lagann Witches?
I'd watch it.
Lucky Witches?
DO WANT
OH HELL YES!!!!!! FUCK YOU GONZO!!! BURN IN HELL!!
why dont you jump off a cliff.....you wortless piece of crap
FUCK YOU.
Now, now. You're both right.
FUCK YES!
fuck no. this show cannot get any better no matter who does it (and I should say it's not because it's already THAT good... well, it's not), but if this continues, GONZO will will sink. I don't want that, for they did some shows which I really do like. And not only me, I daresay. And yes, I know that from time to time shit happens to them anyway.
This means more story less panstu...... it just might fail......
LOL, i like that comment. it just goes to show that strike witches is only good for those obsessed with pantsu. (i know that some people know this already, but i just felt like stating it)
i won't be surprised AT ALL if it does phail.
At least it decreases the risks of seeing fucking flying bats and teddybears.
No you would just get no ecchi or curves until the DVD came out.
More story (i.e. Neuroi) and less fanservice? DO WANT.
Nope, just watching the show because the Neuroi are interesting antagonists (how many times have you seen the Big Bag pull the ol' "enemy just want to be friends" s part of an effective psy-ops tactic?), and the dogfight choreography is far above average. I couldn't care less about the colour of the Witches panties, though admittedly the parallels with the 'Fuhrer's Hat' episode were pretty funny.
Yea, when I read about the reference..I must say I am quite impressed with the details they put in there.. as well as the ACE kills with the corrected dates..
what are you ga...aww f*** you anon beating me to it!
wht are u?......gay?
wha, lucky witches, though I still prefer to be consistent in all artwork -_-
well even they change it to kyoani or gainax, the quality should still be ok, not like a certain anime's 2nd and 3rd season which quality are legends.
which? :D
***covering my eyes/ears***
Something like a "second serving" and "welcome home"?
If Gainax picked it up, it would not look that subdued.
It would more than likely be given the Gurren Lagann touch, simply because of the borderline wacky nature of the series, it would translate well to visual crack cocaine.
"..it seems likely that the current director, and of course the seiyuu cast, will be unchanged.."
Good news for me. It's the end of the world if they decided to change Eila's godly unique voice..

Gotta love Tragically Shocked Lucchini's pic being used for three articles regarding Gonzo's current disaster X3
Lolz at those artist’s impressions
ZA WARUDO!
Falcon punch!!!
If Gonzo loses Strike Witch then it is truly game over for them.
LOL. I find it quite funny that some 'fans' are saying "YES, FUCK YOU GONZO" when Gonzo pretty much put this series on the map and made it what it is.
Hopefully this news doesn't turn out to be true, as I enjoyed the first season and want more of the same, not another stduios take on it...
We are Clannad...
Gonzo isn't going anywhere, nor will they be producing any hentai. Posting baseless rumors like this only appeals to the floods of LOLGONZOSUCKS posters that like to infest /a/.
You know it to be true...
I don't get your logic guys. You'll watch a show about little girls who fly and don't wear pants for a plot, but not for the little girls flying arount without pants??
Who cares about plot, to hell with plot! I loved Strike Witches.
lol
i like the illustration
DESPAIR - Gonzo's in it
Woah... hold on, are you implying that - with a little luck - Strike Witches might get a... plot?! If that happens I might consider watching it.
But KyoAni can't do SW. D= KyoAni has other projects that it needs to work on. Like that myth I sometimes hear, something about a female goddess?
Just don't give it to Asread. Or JCStaff, since JCStaff needs to continue working on Shana, Biribiri, more Index etc and won't have time for SW.
O_o I see what you did there.
That doesn't imply I'm stalking you.
Forgot to mention, after what Gonzo did to R+V, they deserve to go out of business. =/
As long as asread isn't being mentioned to take over, I'm fine.
Gainax.......I'm sensing a serious anime coming.
zankoku na neuroi no teeze
nopan shoujo yo witches ni nare
o.O
Nooooooooo.
Gonzo ;_;
Forget this! Is that third season of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei coming?
Wasn't the 3rd season 3 episodes long?
All three OVAs were more or less an extension of the second season, but are really stand-alone to any season.
Hurry JC Staff! Steal it while you can! Stop Railgun and give us SW S2!
No.
Noo.
