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 Fräulein is actually an outdated way to address unmarried women that's not really used anymore.
When you wish someone "a happy birthday," you do it to make them feel special. Loved. Cared for. Whichever. You do it and they normally respond in kind because they *usually* have some sort of friendship going with you and value your being in some way.
Cartoons do *NONE* of this. They sit there. Unassuming. Unfeeling. Incapable in independent or SENTIENT thought.
So why, WHY do people continue to wish these "things" a "happy birthday" when the feeling will never be reciprocated?
Heyyyy you baked a cake for that character on your lcd screen. TOO BAD SHE CAN'T FRIGGIN' EAT IT DUE TO NOT BEING ALIVE.
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.

A PICTURE OF STRIKE WITCHES IN SKIRTS!!
dat last pic is pretty explosive.
Protip:
Erica Hartmann was secretly HALF-KIKE/GYPSY.
When given pantsu, you want skirts. Humans are truly insatiable creatures.
When's Perrine's birthday?
You missed it already.
28th Feb
I already celebrated.
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.
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?
the fuck you on? no way ursula even compares to erica.
Happy Belated Birthday Erica.
If only they'd spelled it right... >Erika<
It's a valid alternate spelling, like Eric and Erik.
Hnnng.
Happy Birthday pantsu thief!
Dat claymore..
Interesting fact, her birthday is the day before Hitler's...
Protip - She is based on Erich Hartmann, whose birthday is the 19th.
Officially licensed in U.S.
Got to love 1st amendment rights. GO STRIKE WITCHES!
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.
Oh c'mon, no love for Ursula? :<
And as for Erica, I'm going to travel back to time, snatch Hitler's hat and give it to her as a birthday present.
I could understand a virtual singer but every anime with some random character? that is a bit too much!
My little Nazi can't be this cute. :3
I don't feel comfortable with her use of claymores.

WTF.
"Who wouldn't!"? People who aren't complete losers, perhaps?
Any more interesting news other than celebrating the brithday offictional characters (which is starting to get really old)
Hnnnnng.
Hitler's birthday!
Columbine day!
Deepwater Horizon day!
The day to smoke epic reefer!
'birthday!
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..
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.
Pathetic otakus!
At first I read Eric Cartman, then I saw it was Erica Hartmann.
I guess I don't get this. What's with the Nazi shit? Do you guys miss being part of the Axis? How'd that work out for you anyway?
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.
Another year, another pantsu dump.
Goddamn Nazis...

And she looks rather unhappy receiving that too. :P
Sie ging einfach voll retard, Freund.
