First of all, I am not going to be an over sensitive puss and say it was not INTERESTING. It was interesting, but to be honest I really wanted to see more WW II technology like showing the Japanese aircraft carrier and the normal aircraft.
Okay this just has to be said: WHAT THE HELL JAPAN!!! I think it is slightly weird to show tweens in very little clothing. However, it is just downright crazy to zoom the camera in for disturbing pantsu shots. I am not even sure they could get away with that anymore even in Japan...but that is a whole other discussion....and I do not know enough to speak on the intelligently.
I would have even liked to see more of the 'Striker Units' or an explanation of the guns all the girls were using. In addition, the anime does not explain nearly enough about the enemy Niroy(sp?). Moreover, the anime wastes several episodes with not much happening then is the last two episodes EVERYTHING happens at once.
BTW: I watched the show because I recall laughting when I saw just a few images of a Strike Witches DS game and someone here telling me just a bit about the anime/manga. So when I saw it avaiable on Netflix I decdied to watch it via PS3 streaming. I had to see what it was about..and it was interesting...but it is a bit distrurbing too.

Welcome to the world of "fanservce". I haven't seen the show myself, but from what I've heard the fanservice gets ridiculous (even down right disturbing if your new to anime) at some of the scenes. It's a Gonzo title, so I'm not too surprised. They make some really amazing titles (Gankutsuou, Last Exile, Witchblade, Chrono Crusade, Hellsing) and they also made some down right disturbing ones. Just watch Gantz and you'll see what I mean by down right disturbing. This isn't new and since it's just animation, they can get away with a lot of this stuff.

I'm not totally new to anime, so I know they get away with a lot of stuff with a wink...But...gee-whiz...it just seems so unnecessary in this case.
Do I really need to see a water mellon sized close-up of Yoshika Miyafuji crotch on my 36" HDTV?
I would like to see the tanks that appear in the manga done as an OVA...that might be cool.
