Enterprising 2ch denizens have tried their hand at removing the trousers of the girls of Strike Witches, and instead replacing them with suitable skirts. The results are instructive…
Going off the design sketches in the original OVA (and gashapon sets), Lynette, Sanya and Eila have skirts, whilst Erica and Trude have shorts (Perrine looks to have a sketch of some, but they aren't there on the gashapon/ sketches), and they don't look too bad.
I could try and grab scans later if ye wish, failing that take a look at the gashapons and you see.
I wouldn't mind seeing an episode with them dressed like this. Plot idea for season two, Yoshika has a terrible nightmare where the unit actually gets dressed...
It's rather disappointing, in that the skirts could have been done better. Only Charlotte and Sanya have skirts that actually match their outfits.
I'm honestly not sure how they managed to mess that one up, as it should be quite easy to come up with a skirt for many of them, as they were patterned after actual military uniforms, the female versions of which did, in fact, have skirts.
You don't even need to do anything to Sanya or Eila's outfits. They're basically wearing skirts as it is. They're the most conservatively-dressed characters in the show.
Erica, Sanya, and Perrine are a three-way tie for my favorite, by the way. I just wanted to point that out.
No no, that's not right. Perhaps I'm missing the point, but why go to such effort to add skirts? It's like giving Yoko a shirt. Why the insecurity? Their just (wondrous) pantsu. Personally I think modern dress sense should follow the strike girls lead.
In the first picture there skirts look too long. They should have a look at the female military's uniform skirts. What is this church? Look at Minna's LOLZ
Sanya and Eila look good in the skirts. Yoshika's is fine as well, but the shirt should be tucked in.
Gertrude's skirt should be knee-length. Same for Erica, and Erica's skirt needs pleats.
Charlie and Minna's skirts should be form-fitting, with half-slits in the sides. They need a more OL-ish image in skirts, since they're the onee-san of the group.
Perrine, Lucchini, and Lynette need miniskirts.
Mio needs a full pair of pants, but if that's not an option, she should go with short pants.
I prefer the skirts. It leaves something to the imagination and when panty shots do come up they seem like more of a big deal. Well as big a deal as they can be in an anime about fan service.
Also the no pants thing got weird and creepy really fast. They should at least wear something when walking around the base or something.
True, their tops are too long. But i must say that this showed me group of girls running around in underwear is just wrong for me (I mean, not fapulously wrong but normal sense wrong).
Sanya and Charlotte both look very good. Though Sanya is still the best.
However, Eila looks somehow unfitting, they should've just kept her in thights.
And Getrud would look better in pants than a long ankle-length skirt. Erica wouldn've also done better with a knee-length form-fitting(i don't know what you all it) skirt than pleated.
Math question: If I'm not lolicon but I still find Sanya incredibly sexy, then this picture come up, how many pints of blood did I bleed from the nose?
There was an earthquake recently which hit Taiwan, and a few buildings collapsed - guess what they found inside? "China" Quality stuffer material.... More

Most would remove the clothing but this one added some...
I LIKE IT
Shit man, Miyafuji and Sanya look fucking hot
with skirts too.
But i prefer nothing but visible pantsu.

do not want.
Lol, Minna now looks like 30+yo housewife/mother..
The skirts, they are too long.
Lucchini's and Sanya's skirts looks to fit best.
Perrine looks pretty dumpy in hers.
Oh my gosh, they are more hot with skirts on! I want more!

If you only watched one ep, your opinion is barely worth notice.
Maybe if they did all wear skirts I would have given the show a chance instead of quiting after 1 episode. XD

some are actually well done, like gertrud's skirt but some...i dunno. sonya already has like a skirt, the solution? make it a bit longer?
but in any regard, overall fail wasted time effort to shop skirts.
Most of those look pretty ugly. :/ They don't fit the rest of the outfit.
Much fappage to the sanya pic.
with skirts its down't doesn't feel the same...
If they had skirts they'll have jet censors.
Skirts are for weeabos.
2ch should create an animation label, seriously...
Wow...I think having skirt on that anime ruins the show...looks kinda weird with it...not natural...
it would be better if mio, mina and erika wear pants in that pic.. because of the uniform...
Sanya looks pretty nice, and Reimu-cosplay Trude is also cool.
Sanya's cuter than ever now ;_;

Curiously I found the pantslessness to have a liberating feeling and I can't wait for new pantsless anime to show up!
no matter what sanya is still epic win
hmm, its odd, it gives them this catholic school girl look thing
That's makes it hot
VERY HOT, Lynette is straight out of a harry potter novel
Now this is how they are supposed to look. Without the skirt it is kind of lame, since there isn't anything special about seeing a pantsu.
hmmm seriously i dont know, but i think they're better off with the skirts. i'll stick with pantsu for this time. and you know what's even better?...
oops, without* excuse me
I was about to say there, man...
Nice ! Especially Sanya ^^
By the pattern so far, pictures with clothing gets nude filters, and pictures without clothing gets un-nude filtered?
Buh... Don't like the skirts, just looks... Wrong, being how their tops seem to have been originally designed for pantsu
True, their tops are too long. But i must say that this showed me group of girls running around in underwear is just wrong for me (I mean, not fapulously wrong but normal sense wrong).
yup. better keep going with pantsu
It's not pantsu. It's not pantsu, so it's not embarrassing.
BOO.
This...This doesn't fit the Strike Unit.
Although, nobody can steal Erica from me. Hoo--hoo~
Mio deserves a white long pants for seniority's sake
Sanya and Charlotte both look very good. Though Sanya is still the best.
However, Eila looks somehow unfitting, they should've just kept her in thights.

I think you're talking about a pencil skirt. Google Image search it.
