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…

FUCK YES!
This means more story less panstu...... it just might fail......
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.
wht are u?......gay?
what are you ga...aww f*** you anon beating me to it!
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..
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.
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.
OH HELL YES!!!!!! FUCK YOU GONZO!!! BURN IN HELL!!
FUCK YOU.
Now, now. You're both right.
why dont you jump off a cliff.....you wortless piece of crap
Lucky Witches?
DO WANT
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"?
Lolz at those artist’s impressions
"..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
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.
Tengen Toppa Gurren-Witches?
Pantsless lolis the size of galaxies discussing cornets. Hmm...
Lucky Lagann Witches?
I'd watch it.
ha! that is what they get for censoring anime... Fuck gonzo...
And nothing of value was lost.
get rid of the lolis. more sakamoto and minna.
no lolis!!!! noooooooo!!!! protect 'em lolis!!!
You SIR! Are my mortal enemy for life :pif:
And you're saying that with a loli avatar.. >_>
There are only five lolis out of the eleven witches in SW, why complaining?
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...
Hell no. KyoAni will screw it up and Gainax is just not compatible with Strike Witches.
Hilarious mock-ups, by the way.
ZA WARUDO!
Falcon punch!!!
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.
Forgot to mention, after what Gonzo did to R+V, they deserve to go out of business. =/
O_o I see what you did there.
That doesn't imply I'm stalking you.
DESPAIR - Gonzo's in it
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
Hurry JC Staff! Steal it while you can! Stop Railgun and give us SW S2!
No.
Noo.
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.
Nooooooooo.
Gonzo ;_;
