Concept: Flying loli-furry witches who fire machine guns and transform into a girl/plane hybrid.

There, I've just ruined about all of the mystery behind Strike Witches. In a reality nothing like our own, the planet is under siege by bad CG monsters called the Neuroi. Its been that way since the 1930's, and on an unrelated note, middle aged women don't exist. You are either the main character's Mother, grandmother, or you are a 13 year old loli who doesn't believe in wearing pants. Sure, I balked when Len told me that no one in the show wears pants. I mean, pants would just get in the way of those weird... plane leg things they have, but seriously, no one in the world wears pants. Since everyone is half naked, there's no need to bother with panty shots, so Strike Witches uses all of its screen time taking itself seriously. Really, really seriously.

I've seen terrible anime before, but this reaches new heights. Sky Girls had nothing on this. Hit the jump and please explain to me why someone thought this was a good idea.
