Anime: Strike Witches Magical Girl

I collected gashapon models of Mecha Musume about a few months back and it so resembles this particular anime's characters. Strike Witches Magical Girl is an anime almost similar to Sky Girls that it sure brings back memories. But for some reasons, wearing bloomers and wielding big guns to fight a war just seems a bit too outrageous. But as entertaining as it seems, this is still a nice anime to watch...


Set in a world similar to Earth in the mid 2oth Century, Strike Witches tells the story of a battle to protect that world using a combination of magic and technology. The titular Strike Witches, a group of young women with high magical potential, have been gathered together from various nations in a task force to fight against the enigmatic Neuroi. This puzzling enemy force has appeared frequently and without warning in many areas across the world. In order to bring out their potential for use in battle, each Witch equips a unique machine onto their legs: the Striker Unit. With the Striker Unit equipped, they gain the ability to fly and their tapped magical potential provides the strength to utilize weapons far too heavy and powerful for a normal person. The franchise's main media focuses on the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, spearheading the counterattack in war-torn Europe.


If you'd like a mixture of both Sky Girls (Aerial Dogfights) and Gunslinger Girls (Big Guns), then this may be an anime just for you. I've yet to finish watching it so have yet to know the ending for this particular anime. You can watch it at crunchyroll or other websites available.
