BOST TV to Post Strike Witches Anime in English
posted on 2008-07-01 14:35 EDT
The Internet anime distributor BOST TV has announced that it will release the Strike Witches television anime series in English. It also confirmed that it will produce the English subtitles itself, as it had done earlier for all of the overseas Internet distributors for The Tower of Druaga: the Aegis of Uruk and Blassreiter anime series. The series adapts the illustrations by Humikane Shimada (Sky Girls) of mecha-girls — girls whose bodies have been merged with real-life and imaginary machinery and weapons.
BOST TV has posted three of the four Japanese commercials for the anime in expandable windows. GDH, the parent company of the Gonzo studio which is animating Strike Witches, had announced late last month that the YouTube and Crunchyroll websites will also offer this anime online to overseas viewers. BOST TV said that it will provide more details on its release soon.

Strawberry Panic!: Third Wheel Sub.DVD 3Those who plodded through the cutesy, frilly content of earlier volumes while hoping that something would happen will be partly rewarded here.

Kujibiki Unbalance DVD 3If you too cringed at the sound of Kujibiki Unbalance flushing itself down a smelly toilet of irritating humor clichés, then perhaps you'll be pleased to hear the sound of it clawing its way back out with a renewed focus on its central love triangle.
The higher one aspires, the further there is to fall, but it's safe to conclude that mangaka Akira Hiramoto did not sell his soul to the devil to create Me and the Devil Blues. Though the manga is without question wildly ambitious, it fails to fully deliver on Del Rey's hype.

This quartet of episodes is substantially better than the four that preceded them, and it's nice to finally have the forgettable Yotsuba Group conspirators out of the way. Since the DVD ends on a convenient cliffhanger that will, arguably, culminate in one of the most shocking plot twists of the series thus far, faithful viewers will certainly not want to stop here.
