How would it get edited? The show itself is pretty tame, and Strike Witches had more fan service and it caters to loli-cons as well... The main reason I think that it hasn't sold is because it has more slice-of-life and drama and isn't an action show, which from what I see, it doesn't really sell... with the exception of NANA and maybe some other titles as well(?)

However back to topic... I actually can't wait for this! Hopefully it'll be another T.V. Season, as much as I enjoyed the "second season" OVA I would much rather have another season.

Please insert any scene from Strike Witches where there's an underage girl having contact with a grown male or purposely raise their skirts to entice a reaction here:

If you've only sticking with the show and not the manga... nothing tame about what's been going on where I think they left on in S2, which I still need to see.

you havn't seen the uncut version

Diomedea (formerly Studio Barcelona) might not be the best in quality, but they stick to the source material (and when they add stuff they do seem to understand it)

Again, have you actually seen both of these shows? There is a scene in the uncut version Strike Witches where all of the girls are in the bath and you can clearly see them naked, nipples and all. especially token lolis such as Francesca Lucchini, who is 12 years old by the way, in Kodomo no Jikan however they don't explicitly show the girls naked what-so-ever even in the uncut DVD releases as well.

Again, I wasn't talking about S2, however you're right, I haven't read manga, however I plan on doing so... and from what I gather, it's pretty risqué... can I get a source?

Actually I did, I waited so I could see the DVD release and marathon it and since I didn't watch the T.V. version before hand, in my opinion it was actually alright with fan-service, actually in a few episodes you could hardly even tell there was fan-service... and in some instances the show could very much remind you of Hanamaru Kindergarden, (only some!) But yeah, if your talking about the second season OVA especially in the last episode with spoiler[breast sucking] Then yes I would understand however because of the conversation I thought were only talking about the possibility of the first season being licensed and nothing else... in all honestly though, I could see Media Blasters picking this up, seeing as how they picked up Kanokon which is another show which is HUGE with the niche audience, so yeah, I really do see KnJ licensed maybe possibly in the near future(?) Who knows really I'm not saying that it's going to get licensed immediately though... even so, I really do think that it should have been licensed a long time ago... but hey, there's definitely still a chance.

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu S2 proves you entirely wrong.

believe they simply read the over exaggerated/ bias descriptions, they then get a misconception of the series, and they decide to join the mass bash.

Well, I registered here just to react to this thread; I've been reading KnJ since a few months after it started (so I read the first 5 or 6 chapters in about half an hour) and even though it's a fanservice, lolicon series I still love it.

The story is feeling a lot more 'real' than other manga, the characters are likable (or hateable which is just as good in my opinion), it doesn't center around sexuality (all the time, but it's still an important part of the story since it's about a developing girl discovering her sexuality (and trust me that's pretty important to most of them, people thinking otherwise are just deluding themselves) and even in the cases of fanservice I still don't think it's all that bad.

Why would anyone in his right mind look lewdly at the naked body of a 11- or 12 year old girl? A naked child is still just a child. People condemning this series because of that have minds a lot dirtier than mine is.

So all in all I'm pretty happy there's a new season coming (hoping for 13 episodes again, four wasn't nearly anough).

Pardon my ignorance, but the girls in KnJ are not 11, or 12, but 8-year-olds, so who's deluding who?
