I watched the first two episodes of this on FUNimation’s online player and winded up buying it to watch the rest, since I’m a big
Kira Vincent-Davis fan.
It’s still on my backlog currently, but I’ll get around to finishing it up some time soon.

3

You can watch it today in honor of Memorial Day.

4

I have other things to do currently.

5

I’d wait for national Lolicon day, frankly.

6

Looks like CrunchyRoll is simulcasting the second season.

7

I think its best I keep my mouth shut. :stuck_out_tongue:

8

:laugh:
As long as you don’t spoil it for me, it should be fine.

9

Has anyone seen any of the second season yet?

The first season started out strong, but grew tedious and felt overlong at only 12 episodes. I am still somewhat tempted to check out the second season in hopes that it stays fun throughout the entire series. 6 episodes would have been a good run for the first season IMO.

10

I haven’t checked it out yet, I need to finished the first season before I do.


So much backlog, so little time.

11

I started watching the DVDs tonight of the first season, so I can get the general story in preperation of watching the second season on CrunchyRoll.

Looking past the fanservice (of which this series is very heavy on), I’m finding that the overall story is actually kind of unique, and I’m rather enjoying the plot and the aerial combat.

12

So I finished up the DVDs.

I really enjoyed the first season.
Parts of it reminded me of Vandread (the enemy weapons and abilities) but all in all it was actually a rather unique and fun watch.

Also watched the first episode of the second season on CR.
By the end of season one, I really wondered how they were going to continue it, but they did a pretty good job at tying it in.

Dfinitely going to finish the second season, as I now want to know how it all turns out.

13

I’m loving it!

14

First or second season?

-edit-


Or both?

Speaking of which, I finishd up ep. 02 of S2 earlier.
With this episode, it’s back to the Strike Witches we all know and love!

I really hope FUNi gets S2, I really want to see it dubbed and get my KVD fix.

15

Finished up ep. 03.

spoiler

That whole broom thing was funny as hell!

16

Just finished up ep. 04 of S2

Spoiler

The new Jet Striker and armaments are just awesome!
Barkhorn proves their effectiveness in battle, but as with almost all more powerful things, it sucks way too much power (in this case magic power) to be used effectively on a constant basis.

17

Just finished up ep. 05 of S2

So far, with a just little lacking, this is turning out much like the first season, which was awesome.

So few series that come back for another season later on do the first season justice.
But this is doing just that, if not more.

18

Second.
A day or two after it shows, I check Strike Witches – Sankaku Complex (NSFW) since they often post screenshots comparing the Japanese satellite feed (AT-X) versus terrestrial. The censorship on the feed Crunchyroll shows is usually between those two extremes.

19

Just finished up ep. 06


That was rather awesome!
Not to mention, very touching.

20

Just finished up ep. 07 of S2


I guess they have to stick with the formula.

spoiler

Season 1 Ep. 07 was the panty episode, now Season 2 Ep. 07 is a panty episode.

Talk about buns of steel though!
What a way to kill the core.
