More, slightly worse, pantless mediocrity. I watched it simply for completions' sake.
The story line to strike witches is extremely easy to follow. That's all I can say about it. It really doesn't shine in anyway, feels extremely simple and never circles back to properly address pretenses. At least there actually seems to be a war on this time around. The show seems even more slice-of-life than the first season. Each episode seems to have one of the characters performing a chore or some type of personal issue they must resolve.
Art looks great. We know about the pants. We expect the pants.
Again, nothing spectacular about the sound, but nothing bad either.
Characters remain a mixed bag and are mostly fan service.
Despite all the negative things I had to say, I can't say I hated the sh…

Strike Witches is a show I'll have a special place in my heart for for a long time, especially since they're still consistently coming out with entries apparently. This review will kind of be sectioned off, so yeah.
First, Strike Witches itself, which it feels like I finished a long time ago cause I kinda did. Strike Witches is far and away the ˢᵉᶜᵒⁿᵈ best military girls anime I've seen. No but Girls und Panzer this is not, here they're actually at war and also it's a Mahou Shoujo. They wear the "striker units" on their legs which means they just never wear pants, though some wear tights. Yes, Strike Witches is very much a fanservice anime, and here I mean it in the best way possible. Strike Witches is actively indulgent in pleasing the crowd that likes cute kemonomimi military girls to th…

Strike Witches 2 (2010)
First off towards the end Sakamoto in the shower without her eyepatch showing off her actual face properly with hair down was absolutely superb. Not as perfect as Sanya but still the second place has been taken.
A direct continuation of the scenes previously which was nicely linked if you watch Brave Witches after season 1 and its OVA to then get to this season afterwards. The worldbuilding is therefore amazing. The story has the same essential narrative but in a different place with a different base but the same ecchi that we love to see as usual. Bath scenes top scorers too.
The art this time around was as expected from the series in that it is more polished but then the time has progressed since the last time.
Sound does a great job with aircraft noise. Vo…

My favorite series continues with the 11 Witches of the 501 joint fighter wing off participating in more neroi battles with a hive being in a new region, as well being up to all the other goofy antics that occur. Let's get into the other part now.
Concerning the story, it is similar to the first season. It's still basically the same amazing story of Yoshika's struggle to be a witch who can protect everyone she can while forging strong bonds with fellow friends/squad members., with information about people's past being revealed throughout the journey. Now, everyone still doesn't have their past revealed, which shouldn't be expected from a 24 episode series with an 11 member main squad, but more of the internal struggles of characters are shared. We have Mio's struggle with not being able t…

Seascape, fresh air, the calm panorama, and so lovely female characters that gives me butterfly-in-my-belly moments <3 Such a soothing atmosphere can immediately, easily, turn into a ruthless war in the endless sea, that's definitely Strike Witches ٩꒰ಂ❛ ▿❛ಂ꒱۶
So called Neuroi, unidentified flying objects, brings terror and haunts humanity. In a blink of an eye, human forces are immobilized by Neuroi and being under attack unstoppable until the area is completely lost control. Only the chosen fighters are suitable to stand in the battle upon Neuroi, those are girls called "Strike Witches", The 501st Joint Fighter Wing. This squadron created only purpose to eliminate an conquering-the-earth enemy --Neuroi—with the help of magic that comes naturally as their ability. The ability which only a…

After defeating the Neuroi in Gallia in the first series, the 501st Strike Witches wing is disbanded. However, after a failed "communication" with the Neuroi in Romanga (Italyish), a new, more menacing Neuroi shows up; and our 501st wing is reassembled to deal with this new threat.
Strike Witches 2 follows a very similar arrangement to the first series. While lacking in any real plot innovation, it expands on character development and adds some traditional "necessities" such as a beach episode. If you liked the first season despite its lackluster plot, you probably enjoyed the character interactions. If that is the case then this series is for you. If you found the first series too ecchi, too boring, or just unorganized, you'll find more of the same here.
Animation:
I think they upped th…

Strike Witches 2
Yoooshikaaaaaa-chaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!!!! That's how I feel after watching this amazing and totally spectacular anime!
Continuing off from Strike Witches, 6 months have passed since the end of Strike Witches, a new Neuroi hive has appeared, destroying the old one and any plans of coexistence between the humans and Neuroi, which really sucks, I wanted to know so much more about the humanoid Neuroi, poor thing was destroyed right away =(.
Strike Witches 2 continues to follow the same story telling that the original did. Many episodes are about building friendships and trust through hardships that occur. If you felt that some characters weren't given screen time in Strike Witches, worry not, the rest of the girls all get some time where we can learn more about them. I feel li…

Damn! After watching the last two Episodes of Strike Witches 2 I really want to give it an 8 or even a 9. However, when I think back to all the Episodes before that it wouldn't represent my feelings about the whole second series.
After watching the first series, the second one started off great. I mean, the idea of the Neuroi coming back over Romagna/Venezia was pretty simple and expected but the first episodes were still a great introduction into the second series. The characters you love are back and they all get some great moments, especially Major Sakamoto, my favorite!
Nothing has really changed compared with the first series: the Art ist maybe a tiny bit more refined and elaborated but nothing big. Some of the major themes of the first series reappear, the new opening and ending w…

This review will be short and sweet...or at least I'll try to make it that way ;D
Strike Witches 2 was a pretty good show.
Story - 8
It's pretty much the same as the prequel, the only difference is Romania is taken over this time, there are a few new tricks, and even though there is some fan service, it's not as much as before (just the same old pantie shots and a few buttocks).Also, you see a few new faces, but really, the story flows pretty similar too this 1st.
Art - 9
Same old same old. I did like the end of the battle scene though :)
Sound - 8
Same everything. I liked the music though :)
Character - 8
Same everything. Even the new faces act and look like characters we already know.
Enjoyment - 8
It was fun. Not as fun as the prequel, since we new everyone already (so it wasn't…

"That Which We Can Do"
Let me start off by saying I am a "fanboy" of Strike Witches so naturally it was perfect ^_^ . If you were a fan of the 1st Strike Witches you'll love Strike Witches 2. Its a given.
Background: The story takes place a couple months after the first season ended. And Yoshika Miyafuji has just finished middle school and is planning on taking over her family's health clinic. When just like in the original, she receives another letter from her dad! The letter has blue prints for a secret project. This time around she is a retired reserve and needs Sakamoto help once again. Sakamoto her self is has problems of herself which may lead her to no longer be a Witch. She refuse to allow Yoshika to join the Strike Witch but as stubborn as Yoshika is, she decides to go anyways…

Pros
-More of what you expect and like
-Episode 7
-More Strike Witches and Neuroi
-More background to every character Its freakin' strike witches. If you liked the first season you're going to love the second season.

Here they come again, the Pantsu Witches.
So, this is the anime about an alternative history world, which alternative historicity consists in the fact that nobody ever developed something like skirts or women’s trousers there. Alas, poor Scotsmen, they never got their trademark clothes. (Actually I know that it is not skirt but kilt, so don’t throw your bagpipes at me, please. I’m just playing on stereotypes here.)
And now seriously. The first season was pretty nice. So nice that Japanese Ministry of Culture considered it as one of the best anime shows of the year. With all that success and cliffhanger at the end of the last episode it was evident for the second Strike Witches to arrive. However, the title was transferred from Gonzo to AIC, but that didn’t change anything important.
Onc…

I remember that Strike Witches ended with a sequel hook so I was eagerly awaiting the continuation of the 501st's war story as any simple minded lowest common denominator type of person that I am would. No surprises here when I went in expecting only more of the same as the first and not being disappointed.
Just to get us back in the groove, we are re-introduced as the war with the Neuroi takes a twist for the worse. Kicking off, we get straight to reassembling the team that led the fight starting with our friend to all living creatures protagonist and her mentor figure. But this is where the story lapses back to its slice of life mode and parallels the first season in how the story is presented. Its not saying that its bad, but the excitement built up is washed away, only to be replaced…

Strike Witches 2, the amazing sequel to Strike Witches
Much like the prequel the plot is really weak, we start off with the Strike Witches reforming after they disbanded at the end of the original series and through-out a number of the episodes nothing really develops, the Strike Witches would usually go on a little adventure and then go and defeat the Neuroi of the week. However just because an anime series doesn't have a strong plot doesn't mean it's bad, in fact it is quite the contrary. There are a number of great series out there with a weak or non-existing plot and this is one of them.
Every episode the Strike Witches would have it's own story which usually revolved around 1 or 2 certain characters. Every episode contained a different mood, it was always fun to watch and as bonus h…

Our favorite flying witches are back to liberate Europe from the Neuroi scourge! Without wearing any pants. For those of us who saw the original Strike Witches (or Pantsu Witches as I like to say) anime you had to know what you were going to be in store for. A lot of fan service, cute girls, and panty shots. But a funny thing happened with this over the top and gratuitous ecchi anime, it’s a hell of a lot of fun to watch!
Much like the original, Strike Witches 2 features a plot you could have written out on a cocktail napkin. The fight against the Neuroi continues, this time moving on to Romagna, which is the real world analog of Italy. The girls of the 501st Fighter wing are reformed to battle the Neuroi presence. Happily, especially early in the series the action is really ramped up. Bu…
