As promised, the censorship in the legendary no pantsu episode of Strike Witches has been eliminated in DVD volume four, leaving the title at borderline loli ero-anime status. We even see in detail the smooth contents of Gertrud’s pantsu like things…
Below you can see the detailed ero-comparison:
(Above or on the right are the censored TV broadcasts)
As reviewers are so keen to stress, Lucchini is 12…
If you observe the above comparisons closely, and refer to the preview comparison if necessary, you can see that in addition to erotic upgrades, the animation and character designs have been improved significantly, making this a well rounded release.
There are some amusing touches, like the reduced size soap bar (animated, enlarge to view):
Most interesting is this, showing Gertrud to be apparently paipan, or devoid of pubic hair (animated, enlarge to view):
This is about as extreme as it gets in non-ero-anime. Maybe Gonzo is thinking of the possibilities in this area?
The extras may also very well be of interest:
So it seems a resoundingly positive verdict in favour of the DVD version, not that this was not already one of the best episodes of the series, before it succumbed to drama.
Strike Witches DVD volume 4 is out now…
The good sources reside here and here. See also the review of similar matters in the third DVD.
Where can I get one of those books? The Strike Witches 4 A Complete Record of 501st Joint Fighter Wing.
Wonderful, this reminds me to finish this series, I got sidetracked and ended up watching Sky Girls, but this is mega.
in case no one noticed. just to re iterate, they show the outline (no bar of soap, no leaf) in the 7th ep in the dvd.
bless strike witches. its surprising as its not only bottomless, its front shot and of a l♥♥i to boot.
And another nonsensical ero series continues to get undeserved attention.
Shut up, me.
Just saw the StrikeS fansubs.
They actually went in and redrew the bar soap slip and tree climbing frames to show the outline of the labia (removing the bar of soap and the twig that hid them in the dvd version).
At first I thought Gonzo had really gone extra-ero on us, before I saw their comment about what they did and then remembered this news bit).
