Strike Witches (OVA)
I had no idea what a series called "Strike Witches" would be about--maybe horror, which I'm not a big fan of--but I gave it a try anyhow, not realizing that this was actually just an eight-minute promo. The gamble paid off, and I was soon grinning at this silly show. "This is a new weapon" it states, "created with the latest technology and magic" (yes, magic). Of course only cute girls (and apparently only ones with animal ears and tails), have the ability to utilize "our new magic broom". It enables them to fly and maneouvre (and sound) like WWII era aircraft, and the story seems to be set in the continent of Europe in some alternate universe. I recognized the names of a number of famous fighter pilots among the girls, and also several WWII vintage firearms in their hands (enough "Cute Girls with Guns" to keep me busy for awhile!). Okay, too soon to draw any major conclusions, like what the ratio of comedy and seriousness will be. One thing's for sure--the premise is so absurd that I can't help laughing!
