Not to be outdone by upstart moeblobs, Frau Hartmann‘s birthday (on the 19th) has been widely celebrated by Strike Witches fans online, leading to the usual outburst of festivities, and downfalling of pantsu.
Frau would be the proper way to address her in modern German. Fräulein is actually an outdated way to address unmarried women that's not really used anymore.
Ignoring that historically Christ rose from the dead and is eternal, there is a major difference between visiting the grave of a loved one and creating a shrine for a typical character made to sell manga, DVDs and merchandise. The former is socially acceptable, normal and well adjusted behaviour (SCIENTIFICALLY) and involves celebrating the life and memory of a real person, and the latter is a delusion. The girl is not real and some guys are laughing all the way to the bank, so thanks for the cash.
Anyway as long as you realise it's only a hobby and it does not take too much time, it's OK. Going overboard like some of the otakus in these pics is too much though and is pathological. Most psychiatrists would not consider that behaviour normal.
It's sad because it's lust for a drawing which causes some limibic system generation of attachment. It's using natural mechanisms unnaturally. Real people actually exist, but they require initiative and work. Relationships with real (adult) women lead to mature self actualisation and families which are the basis of human civilisation.
Of course there's also nothing wrong with a bit of fandom here and then, as long as one realises one is doing it just as a hobby and it doesn't replace real relationships and commitments to real people.
Aside from the panty shot here and there, it's quite a good show if you're into arial dogfighting and/or anime of that sort. Dont expect many planes tho :)
Also I lol'd at the claymore mine pic...
"Face towards enemy" indeed, no ones penetrating those defenses anytime soon, the way it should be XD
I don't think she's angry. The text "Karlsland's science is the best in the world" and Ursula being a scientist suggests she had something to do with that.
Hnnnnng.
A PICTURE OF STRIKE WITCHES IN SKIRTS!!
dat last pic is pretty explosive.
When given pantsu, you want skirts. Humans are truly insatiable creatures.
Protip:
Erica Hartmann was secretly HALF-KIKE/GYPSY.
Hnnng.
'birthday!
When's Perrine's birthday?
You missed it already.
28th Feb
I already celebrated.
I thought she was a fraulein. When did she become a frau?
Frau would be the proper way to address her in modern German. Fräulein is actually an outdated way to address unmarried women that's not really used anymore.
Are the Germans now gettin' as lazy with their language as us Americans now? Or is this another instance of language evolution/devolution?
No. Fraeulein is now a common word to mean prostitute due to all the American servicemen after World War II (over)using it.
most of the pics are so NOT loli that it hurts
I know i won't and i don't give a fork about her
Happy Birthday Erica.
Happy Birthday Erica and Ursula!
It's funny they ignore her sister Ursula who's just as cute as her in every way.
the fuck you on? no way ursula even compares to erica.
Not me, they are my favorite witches, along with all the other ones.
@danhibiki Ursula has glasses. That amplifies her moeness further.
Who would hate a cute meganekko moe girl like Ursula?
Happy Belated Birthday Erica.
If only they'd spelled it right... >Erika<
It's a valid alternate spelling, like Eric and Erik.
Goddamn Nazis...

Sie ging einfach voll retard, Freund.
BOCKWURST & KARTOFFELSALAT! (pic 005)
And she looks rather unhappy receiving that too. :P
This is the very best comment in this article. It should have a higher rating.
Mein Blut für den Führer! SIEG HEIL!
Celebrating birthday of nonexistent creatures, one of the saddest things humanity is up to.
You should probably read a newspaper now and then.
I read Kant my fellow.

"Kant" and "cunt" are homophones in English when pronounced correctly.
So how about that Christmas fest then. :P
Oh and beings that are dead, are also non-existent at this point. So don't even try to go for the he was a historical figure line.
But Virginia, there really WAS a Santa Claus!
Yeah St Nikolaus was a real historical figure.
Jesus saves people, anime is the handwork of satan

Ignoring reality (drivel)...
There, I summarized it for you.
Could you give us some argument why is it sad?
Instead of comment from ignorant trash?
It's sad because it's lust for a drawing which causes some limibic system generation of attachment. It's using natural mechanisms unnaturally. Real people actually exist, but they require initiative and work. Relationships with real (adult) women lead to mature self actualisation and families which are the basis of human civilisation.

Why would anybody call Erich Hartmann, the "Ace of Aces" nonexistent?
Interesting fact, her birthday is the day before Hitler's...
Protip - She is based on Erich Hartmann, whose birthday is the 19th.
Another year, another pantsu dump.
I suppose the similarity in names to a certain shota from Colorado is just a happy accident?
Especially perplexing given the latter's own 3rd-reichish tendencies.
Happy birthday ! But i have absolutely no idea who this is since i did not watch this anime.

The one showing that she has boobs and the angry glare by her sister, who doesn't, was also chuckle worthy..
