Troubled pantsu anime studio Gonzo has been given a lifeline with the confirmation that they will retain the rights to animate the hit pantsu-laden WWII influenced mecha musume series, Strike Witches, after earlier speculation that they would lose the franchise…
Gonzo’s getting the rights to the new season, tentatively named Strike Witches 2-ki (second season), was confirmed in Kadokawa Shoten’s Nyantype Magazine
Also confirmed was that most of the original staff will return (that the seiyuu will reprise their roles goes without saying) for this project, including linchpin director and character designer Takamura Kazuhiro, script supervisor “Striker Unit”, and also military advisor Takaaki Suzuki.
The studio has been on the brink of closure for a while now, and Strike Witches might be just the project they need to stay afloat, albeit for a while.
Fans will be heaving sighs of relief that this will not go the way of notorious anime Minami-ke, but with the bugetary constraints potentially facing the gutted new Gonzo, it may be too soon for them to relax…
Those looking for a potential sign of things to come might want to look closely at Eila’s foot in the above close-up on the official announcement’s accompanying art. A disturbing omen?

More pantsu action to fap on.
One moar tiem plz.
Wow.. Gonzo strikes back? Hope they don't rush this and ruin the quality though.
Gonzo was never a good studio. Shut down, and stay there.
"Gonzo was never a good studio."
Except for Speed Grapher and Druaga.
And Strike Witches.
and seto no hanayome
and Vandread and its 2nd Stage
and Gate Keepers and GK21
and the original Full Metal Panic! series
and Chrono Crusade
and Seto no Hanayome and Saikano and Gravion(微妙) and Samurai 7 and Black Cat and Romeo x Juliet and Bokurano!!
If you can firmly say you have never liked any of the above, then the problem here is clear. It's not that they aint good, it's just YOU ARE PHAIL!
and Last Exile
and Dragon Ball Z
*Sarcasm-immune*
Dragon Ball Z by GONZO? GJ, genius, that just made my day.
You kidding me? DBZ was one of Gonzo's best shows. The amount of Bulma pantsu was just right.
Rosario + Vampire was certainly interesting, in any case.
Gantz is one of my favorites, and Welcome to the NHK is hilarious!
And everyone always forgets Kaleido Star.
I thank every Anon for posting their crappy animes I will never like, and show that their recommendation is that of some adolescent teen wanting to feel grownup.
So let us see who fails, because clearly is the bomb to spell something the wrong way.
We have some cool kids here.
Bright-slap!
Ah, yes, the 'Insult the opponent's language when incapable of offering a proper point of retort.'
You had me lol-ing at you, good job.
It seems that we have made enough of a point with impact that you actually took the effort to make an entry on your 'attempt-at-a-blog' about how you got slapped around here?
Seriously, if so many people are slapping you at the same time, it's time to wake up your ideas that it's not the company side's problem, but yours.
'The only defense I get for GONZO is name of animes that did terribly financially, and reviewed terribly, and that is why GONZO is almost closing down. Please come up with some substantial argument to deter me to think otherwise.'
Okkkkkk, so I guess that includes Full Metal Panic!, Speed Grapher and Chrono Crusade, yea?
lol but can also say the same for us for replying to this anti-fanboi, rofl
Anon > you forgot about the age part!
always 1.)Age 2.)Language 3.)Race/Type!
Whoa even more cool kids. I guess you learn how to use the word "retort," and reply with a wall of text that still proves little if any reason why GONZO is good. Everyone can like something, but than that just means the masses are ignorant. If you heard of Obama I am sure you get the point. And I laugh because you wasted your life defending a company that is going to fail. Oh, but I forgot. Is easier to be anonymous defending your point and only show your opinion on the internet, because clearly being meek and timid in real life is how you get by. And the counter argument is naming more animes?
Spectacular jobs geniuses.
Don't feed the troll!
Yeah I agree with you. I wanted to like them, but Gonzo was always so hit & miss with what they pumped out.
Go baptize yourself in the flaming depths of hell you ignorant fool.
FLAWLESS VICTORY!!
気持ちわるい！
鏡見ながら言うな…
It's A - Okay... As long thar's no censorship :3
I'll wait for DVD/BD versions to spare myself from the lensflare madness.
Oh damn the cencoring, I can miss it this time round.
Long live Strike Witches.
Hooray more Perrine~! (´ω｀)ノ
I agree with the sentiment contained in the above post.
Indeed they are a horrible studio. They didnt even fix the art work for NHK DVD, uh, why do we have to suffer.
awwww... I liked the idea of lucky witches too >_>
Eila? Pshaw! Any true fan knows that Francesca has the cutest feet out of all the Strike Witches!
This is not up for debate.
agreed!
