About Strike Witches

Meet Strike Witches (ストライクウィッチーズ), an action, ecchi and sci-fi anime by GONZO (2008). Here is the premise in a nutshell. In short: The year is 1944 and the world lives in fear of unidentified flying objects called Neuroi. With the old-boy old guard unable to thwart this deadly menace, humanity turns its desperate eyes to an aerial attack force with much nicer legs.

Next up: Meet the girls of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, better known as the Strike Witches. These darlings of the great blue yonder may not have standard issue uniforms, but they do have all the right stuff. Where the average flyboy falters, these dolls blast aliens to bits in the bat of an eyelash.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Misato Fukuen as Yoshika Miyafuji and Saeko Chiba as Mio Sakamoto. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by GONZO, so the studio's house style defines how Strike Witches looks and moves on screen. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.6/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Misato Fukuen as Yoshika Miyafuji, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2008, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
