action

scenario

In a world that resembles the earth in the middle of the twentieth century, Strike Witches tells the story of the struggle to protect this world with the use of new technology and magic. The Strike Witches are a group of girls who have magical abilities. Coming from different nations, they are supposed to fight against the enigmatic Neuroi who carried out the first strike in 1939 .

This enigmatic power appeared again and again in different places on earth and attacked without any warning. The Neuroi weapons often take on a shape similar to that of airplanes and their weapons leave a caustic miasma behind . This not only poisons the helpless people, but the Neuroi transform the affected country into new weapons. This drove the crumbling nations into the seas, as the miasma does not appear to spread over large bodies of water, thus becoming a line of defense.

In this alternative world, Europe or Eurasia and Africa are the regions most affected by the attacks. As the world changed dramatically in the course of the conflict, the names of the states have also changed. For example, Japan is named as the Empire Fusō ( 扶桑皇国 , Fusō-kōkoku ) - an old Chinese name for Japan -, the United States as the United States of Liberion , the German Empire as the Kaisertum Karlsland ( 帝政カールスラント , Teisei Kārusuranto ) under Emperor Frederick IV or France called Gallia .

In order to increase the fighting ability of the Strike Witches, each of them is equipped with a Striker Unit , which is attached to the feet and allows them to convert their magic into thrust. This not only gives them the ability to fly, but also gives them better control of their magic in order to target firearms. They are also able to create protective shields against the miasma and other physical weapons. In addition, each of the girls has a special magical ability. Their agility allows them to destroy the self-repairing units of the Neuroi after damage, as they can target their core and energy source. This ultimately makes them the trump card of the people in this war.

Within this world, the franchise focuses particularly on the 501st United Combat Squadron ( 第 501 統合戦闘航空団 , Dai-501 tōgō sentō kōkūdan ) “Strike Witches”, which begins a counterattack in Europe.

terminology

magic: The Strike Witches (機械化航空歩兵（ストライクウィッチーズ）, Meaning written: "mechanized flight infantry", spoken: "attack witches") have the natural ability to use magic , which is indicated in a blue aura and makes them grow animal tails and ears ( kemonomimi ). These also give the Witches their respective special abilities such as healing, superhuman strength, foresight, etc. In combat, they use them to move in the air or to create a protective shield.
Striker Unit: The Striker Units are "suits" made up of mechanical armor with magical propellers and worn by the Strike Witches on their legs. They use the magic of their user as fuel. Although Karlsland also made a jet-powered version called the Messerschmitt Me 262 , this was rarely used because of its excessive consumption of magic. Each of these striker units was modeled on a warplane from World War II.; Since the Striker Units should have skin contact as much as possible in order to optimize their functionality, the Strike Witches rarely wear more than their underwear. In addition, this is a normal fashion trend in the strike witches world, similar to the advent of the bikini in the 40s, and thus serves as an important fan service element of the series.
Witches Base: This is the name of the command center of the 501st Joint Air Combat Squadron. It is a castle with ornate architecture, which was modeled on the Mont-Saint-Michel . Its proximity to the Gallic coast makes the base the starting point of the strike witches in the fight against the mainland of Europe occupied by the Neuroi. After the liberation of Gallia, they move into new headquarters off the Adriatic coast to liberate Venezia (northern Italy).
Neuroi: They are a mysterious people who cover the conquered areas with a dark honeycomb structure . The attackers appear in various sizes, ranging from small to gigantic. Their fighters are distinguished by their ability to fly very quickly, to repair themselves quickly, as well as their robustness and energy weapons . As a result, they are far superior to the technical standards of the 1940s, which is why the conventional military is largely ineffective for them and only the strike witches can get over them. The only Achilles heel are the shimmering crystals, the energy sources known as cores in your body. Their appearance was often designed after the experimental aircraft of World War II.

Characters

Yoshika Miyafuji ( 宮藤芳佳 , Miyafuji Yoshika ): She is the main character in the series and comes from the Fusō Empire (Japan). She is an ordinary young girl, but has the special ability to heal other living beings. When she uses her skills, she shows the appendages of a Shiba as Kemonomimi .

Within the squadron she holds the rank of sergeant ( 軍曹 ), uses a 99 20 mm machine gun ( 九九式二〇ミリ機銃 ) and a striker unit, which is based on a Mitsubishi A6M . In the course of the plot in the 2nd season, she changes to a newer model that is based on a Kyūshū J7W .

Their Striker Unit is also based on the Mitsubishi A6M. She acts mainly as a combat leader and instructor.

She quickly reached the commanding post as a squadron leader, later as a squadron commodore. Her magic, in which she shows wolf marks, is an increased spatial perception with which she can precisely determine the number and position of the enemy at great distances. During the evacuation from Karlsland, she met Gertrud Barkhorn and Erica Hartmann. Over time, the three developed a deep friendship with one another. It was she who proposed the establishment of the 501st, which she eventually became in command. Your weapon is a MG 42 and the Striker Unit is based on the Messerschmitt Bf 109 .

Gertrud Barkhorn ( ゲルトルート・バルクホルン , Gerutorūto Barukuhorun ): An experienced witch from Karlsland. Even before the Neuroi attack, she joined the armed forces and became one of the first members of the 501st Joint Air Combat Squadron.

She gets along well with a lot of people, her best friend within the squadron is Francesca Lucchini. Because of her strict military personality, she usually has a rather tense relationship with Barkhorn. Her magical ability, as Kemonomimi she shows rabbit characteristics, is the "speed boost", with which she can increase her speed and the performance of the Striker Unit. As armament she uses an M1918 Browning light machine gun or a Thompson submachine gun. Their Striker Unit is based on the North American P-51 Mustang.

Origin and publications

In a column in the first Comp Ace on March 10, 2005, Humikane Shimada mentioned that he wanted to use his mecha musume ( mecha girl ) concept for multiple media. So he designed next to the first work for the OVA of Strike Witches and the character design for the TV series Sky Girls , both published by the end of 2007. As a result, the characters and concepts of both series are similar in many ways. The Sonic Divers from Sky Girls use more futuristic components, while the Striker Units from Strike Witches are based more on fantastic elements. This makes the design of the characters from Strike Witches more similar to the original Mecha Musume concept.

The first release of the franchise was the manga Strike Witches: Sōkū no Otome-tachi , which was published between September 2005 and January 2006 in Comp Ace. He was drawn by Yoshiyuki Kazumi ( かずみ義幸 ), who also draws hentai under the name Matsumoto Drill Kenkyūjo ( 松本ドリル研究所 ) . This manga was canceled after three chapters. Yoshiyuki Kazumi stated that, according to Kadokawa Shoten, the manga received too negative reader feedback and was too revealing by Kadokawa's standards.

Despite the “negative reader feedback”, a second attempt was made, this time in the form of a light novel at Kadokawa's imprint Kadokawa Bunko Sneaker . This was written by Noboru Yamaguchi , who became known with Zero no Tsukaima . The illustrations are by Humikane Shimada and Hashigo Ueda. The first volume Strike Witches: Suomus Iranko Chūtai Gambaru ISBN 978-4-04-424605-1 was published on October 1, 2006, the second Strike Witches: Suomus Iranko Chūtai Koisuru ISBN 978-4-04-424606-8 on March 1 2007 and the third Strike Witches: Suomus Iranko Chūtai Hajikeru ISBN 978-4-04-424607-5 on July 1, 2008. A fourth volume was announced for spring 2009, but has not yet appeared (as of November 2011).

An original video animation (OVA) was also released on January 1, 2007.

A second manga, this time by Yūki Tanaka, called Strike Witches: Tenkū no Otome-tachi , appeared in Comp Ace 3/2008 on January 25th and 1/2009 on November 26th, 2008. On July 26th and December 26th, 2008 the chapters were combined in two anthologies .

A second light novel series Strike Witches: Otome no Maki ( ストライクウィッチーズ乙女ノ巻 ) was also published by Kadokawa Sneakes Bunko by Hidehisa Nambō and the illustrations by Humikane Shimada and Hashigo Ueda. This is largely based on the first anime series. The first volume ISBN 978-4-04-473901-0 was published on August 1, 2008, the second ISBN 978-4-04-473902-7 on March 1, 2008, the third volume ISBN 978-4-04-473903- 4 on August 1, 2009 and the last volume ISBN 978-4-04-473904-1 on July 1, 2010. This series was then continued with Strike Witches 2 ( ストライクウィッチーズ 2 ), which is largely based on the second anime series and in the Hashigo Ueda was replaced by Shin Kyogoku . The first volume Densetsu no Majo-tachi ( 伝説の魔女達 ; ISBN 978-4-04-473905-8 ) was published on September 1, 2010, the second volume Tenkū yori Eien ni ( 天空より永遠に ; ISBN 978-4- 04-473906-5 ) on the 30th of the same month.

Inside the Strike Witches 2: Official Fanbook Complete File ( ストライクウィッチーズ2オフィシャルファンブックコンプリートファイル) is also the Light-Novel Short story took Strike Witches 2 Visual Short Story: 500overs in Africa ( ストライクウィッチーズ2ヴィジュアルショートストーリー500overs in Africa ) by Takaaki Suzuki and again drawn by Shin Kyōgoku. This is based on the tenth episode of Strike Witches 2 and describes the adventures of the Witches of Africa.

Takaaki Suzuki was also involved with Takeshi Nogami in several dōjinshi (unofficial fan prints), which consisted of a manga part by Nogami and a light novel short story by Suzuki and is also dedicated to the Witches of Africa, in particular Keiko Katō and Hanna-Justina Marseille . Originally, these should be printed within the DVD booklets.

Strike Witches (series)

Shortly after the announcement of the implementation of the light novel series as an anime television series towards the end of 2007, various promotional items (such as PVC figures) were published in advance. Little by little, more and more details about the series were revealed and the characters presented who had not yet appeared in the OVA.

The series was animated by Studio Gonzo . Directed by Kazuhiro Takamura , who had previously been involved in the implementation of titles such as FLCL , Mahoromatic or Kidō Senshi Gundam 00 , assisted by Ken'ichi Yatani. Based on the designs by Humikane Shimada, he was also responsible for the character design , as is often the case with his previous works. The artistic director was Hiromasa Ogura .

The series was first broadcast on Fukui TV from July 4, 2008 to September 19, 2008, shortly after midnight and thus on the previous television day, ten minutes later on TV Saitama and Nara TV and up to a few days later on Chiba TV , KBS Kyōto , Shin'etsu Hōsō , Gifu Hōsō , TV Kanagawa , Gunma TV , Sun Television , Tokyo MX , Mie TV , TVQ Kyūshū Hōsō and Kumamoto Hōsō . A nationwide broadcast on the satellite broadcaster BS Nippon followed from July 28th.

This followed the series The Tower of Druaga: the Aegis of Uruk , also produced by Gonzo , which was published according to the same scheme. On YouTube and Crunchyroll, viewers could watch the videos as often as they wanted within a certain time window before they were taken offline again. Crunchyroll offered the individual episodes for a fee for download during and after this period.

An uncensored version of the series was offered from September 26, 2008. A censorship had been carried out because of the frequent revealing elements with a lolicon character , even if in such a context it was claimed again and again that the publishers wanted to boost sales figures for DVD sales. The fifth DVD in the series was released on January 30, 2009.

Funimation licensed the series for the US market and began to stream episodes of the series in the uncensored version in October 2009, but had to replace them with the censored versions after protests. However, the release on DVD planned for 2010 is said to be uncensored.

With a recommended retail price of 44,500 yen, it reached number 6 on the Blu-Ray charts. On the occasion of the upcoming movie, a new edition was released on May 10, 2011. Despite the high, albeit reduced, price of ¥ 36,750, it sold around 5,000 times in the first week, making it the best-selling Blu-Ray this week.

Strike Witches 2

A second season of the television series was announced in early 2009, still under the leadership of Gonzo . Because of the economic problems of the studio, which could not finish the series Saki , the animation production was transferred to the Anime International Company (AIC).
