That you have to pay for. And I've seen the quality of those downloads, they're absolutely shit in a tiny resolution. |

I absolutely refuse on any circumstance to support Crunchyroll no matter what's on there. If Gonzo only plans to distribute on Crunchyroll, they deserve to go to hell, especially after that horrible release of Strike Witches; that show was obviously meant to pander to pedophile otaku. I was interested in the show, but will not even bother with it if only Crunchyroll has it.

??????? Strike Witches was also provided on BOST and YouTube although there was only a 10 hr of grace to watch streams on YouTube before the episodes get deleted. Pandering otaku is correct and did a good job of it too if you've been following the news about the sales of Limited edition vol.1 of SW. |

Now wait just a second! How dare you say Strike witches panders to pedo-bear otaku! Just because all of the characters are stereotyped adolescent or near adolescent girls.... who for no apparent reason never wear pants.... and whose battle suits often look quite similar to elementary school gym outfits.... uh......... nevermind. |

Regarding translation, I noticed a couple utterly laughable mistakes in Linebarrels, so I'm sure some fansub groups could still justify their actions. |

Huzzah to Crunchy for getting Linebarrels, and a great big thumbs up to Gonzo for putting it on Crunchy! I hope that Gonzo reaches the point where everything they put out is put up on Crunchy!
Go support GONZO and Crunchy now and buy ep 1 of Linebarrels for yourself! It's cheap! |

Not that I support Crunchyroll; but I believe that's the point. Money NEEDS to be made. And besides; most of the money goes back to the anime companies anyway.
Anime featuring girls young enough to start high-school; flying around skirtless and shooting weapons at aliens? NO!! Anime featuring girls young enough to start high-school; beating guys up...? YES!! ToraDora's this way. ====> 
At any rate, Funimation SHOULD license and dub Strike Witches. |

Just watched the first episode; enjoyed it quite a bit. Interesting twist at the end. This could be a very cool show. Let's hope it keeps up the pace.

pretty cliche for the most part, but that ending has me intrigued. i'll probably continue to follow this, since it's on crunchyroll.

Well, I managed to struggle through crunchyroll's awful stream (and had a good laugh as the preview rolled with a black bar over part of the screen: they'd only been given a broadcast copy rather than a working master). Unfortunately, this marks a return to form on Gonzo's record of terrible terrible manga adaptations. A pity given how good their recent productions have been.
Didn't actually watch the show, eh? |

This looks somewhere around mediocre, but I guess it could improve -or worsen- given enough time.
The main character's personality doesn't really interest me much and I hope he grows up...fast. Hard to say anything about the rest of the cast yet. Might stream a few episodes if I'm bored enough, why not? |

That's the impression I got after watching the episode, but the last 10 minutes peaked my interest a little. The little twist at the end didn't really shocked or surprised me, but I thought the mecha action was pretty good. Vocals were excellent, but considering that they are using A-class talent on this show (Mamiko Noto, Jun Fukuyama, Aya Hirano, and Tetsuya Kakihara just to name a few) I didn't expect anything less from the cast. As with you, I'm going to give this series a chance to develop the characters and storylines before I decide whether to continue following it or not. |

Yeah, but not the right episodes. When they get to nartuo shippudden 70 or bleach 165 give me a call. But thanks for trying.
