The marketing gimmick accompanying the Strike Witches DS game “Strike Witches: Aoi no Dengekisen,” a bloomer shaped pouch, seems to have been exceptionally effective if the feverish efforts to collect them exhibited by one very dedicated fan are anything to go by…

Shop-specific telephone cards also seem to have a lot to answer for…

Stylish.

The game is available internationally now.

    At least he is honest. We could have dishonest businessmen.

    Honesty low levels, not appreciated.
    Honesty high levels not there.

    Naw, only if those were real bloomers stripped from a real girl earlier that day. Or hell, even if they were just real bloomers he sometimes dresses up in himself.

    The real bloomers are inside the DS pouch, the perfect crime.

    Obviously he just came back from a fashion show in Akiba.

    "And here comes Itou-san, with this winter's must-have accessory in otaku fashion; the Bloomer Bag. As you can see, he's also sporting a lovely man-purse, and is wearing thick black-rimmed glasses to put the finishing touch on that 'otaku look'."

    If at this moment I were given the option to be in Japan for a day free of charge, I'd walk around a bit with pantsu/bloomers on my head.

    It's more pro when you actually use a freshly stolen pantsu as a DS pouch.

    Too bad none of the Witches wear bloomers so it hardly represents the franchise..

    You know what I'd like to have? A better fricking story being spent on rather than this limp loli one! Saw the first few episodes and noticed the wandering bullshit revolving around very young girls going out to KILL people without them paying a fucking notice of it.

    Gunslinger Girls did it too, but had a far better reason for it within the plot.

    Here, they just Luvvv to prance around missiles and kill.. like what doves do in the sky~~~~~ so moe~~~~~~~

    lmao, they weren't "people" per se. More like alien beings in shapes vaguely reminiscent of rocket designs from some discarded gonzo mecha show.

    [btw, the designs reminded me of VanDread. Not sure if anyone remembers that anime.]

    ... Besides, what better way to "kill" your opponents than with flying pantsu moe overload?

    The marketing wasn't exactly very effective.
    The game only sold 3.5k in its 1st day. A 360 shmup sold 3x as much on the same day.

    This is probably the real reason the Nintendo DS LL sold so well over the PSP Go.

    ... then again, the whole "PSP-HUGE" screens on a DS is also a rather pleasant feature to behold too.

    I wonder how many non-otaku would actually recognize it as bloomer pantsu...

    My friend thought it looked sort of like a pita bread purse.

    I laughed when I saw this, thats a unique item that 'I' haven't see the like of before. I've seen manga trying to sell a chars pantsu ect but not something like this. I wonder how many will buy 2 so they can modify one to accept input from something else?

    When you are a less than appealing looking fat fuck that has 100 pounds more than your ideal shape requires, chances are 'fashionable' is virtually impossible and thus nothing you wear or carry is going to make the situation worse.

    He might be able to impress another fat fuck otaku loser, but that would be the limit.

    An obese fuck in a suit is actually a decent look.

    Anything else and they look slobby.

    The suit atleast has them look professional and 'stylish'.

    For some bizarre reason, the game is rated CERO A.

    Throughout the entire game, all scenes where they are wearing their standard outfits, the characters are only shown from the waist up...

    Once again and again, wouldn't be seen in public with it but it would be cool to have on the shelf. Now to be - rated by the person who is auto - rating all anon posters. Waits to pounce.
