Steam Witches

Tragedy Witches continues in the direction of drama and gratuitous plot twists, seemingly having developed into two separate titles, with the service orientated title now losing out. There is, mercifully, a short segment of Yoshika raep, and general oppai massaging and yuri ofuro antics, but the rest consists of the witches shrieking at each other in what must be intended to be High Drama.

Tragedy Witches

Former loli pantsu anime Strike Witches continues its misguided descent into farcical martial camaraderie action anime with the latest and ninth episode. Pantsu fans are sure to be on the verge of desertion if this continues, which seems quite possible.

  • I have to disagree with all the haters. I think ep 9 was the best episode yet. Strike Witches is so more than just crass erotic fanservice, it's the loveable and relateable moe characters that... More

  • Horrible. It's not hopeless, but they've already wasted 2 episodes on crap no one cares about. Or no one shouldn't -I know people will defend anything. It's pretty obvious what Strike Witches' selling points are, and... More

Drama Witches

Drama Witches

Pantsu anime Strike Witches fancies itself a serious drama with romantic and sentimental wartime themes and exciting aerial dog fighting action, if the latest episode, number eight, is anything to go by. Those keen to assert its credentials as a serious anime rather than a opportunity to scrutinise the nether regions and lately, nipples, of various adolescent girls are sure to be delighted, but serious pantsu fans will come away with little.

  • The Boosttv version is cesnored. I can accept free streaming is censored but not the pay one. I never spent a cent for something edited. Aggravating this, Strikes fansub release uncut edition for certain episodes,... More

  • Not sure, but the Witch doll looks extremely familiar to one of the characters in the light novel. :S Otherwise, it was completely Gonzo-esque to pull some plot-twist at the end with Minna drawing a gun... More

Actress and idol 吉野公佳 / Kimika Yoshino (32), known for a long string of drama and film appearances, including the drama adaptation of Jigoku Shoujo, has shocked the show business establishment with the news that she has accepted a 25 million Yen contract to star in an AV film, to be titled “Impact”, and published by “Muteki”.

The contract is said to cover a number of titles, but the 25 million only covers the first title, so she could be set for millions of dollars…

Maki Horikita Star Idol Gallery

堀北真希 / Maki Horikita

A gallery of star idol actress 堀北真希 / Maki Horikita. Her career is perhaps less interesting than the likes of Aya Hirano, being a string of drama, film, and television appearances, with some earlier dabbling in light gravure, but she does photograph rather well, as you can see. Very well indeed.
