Strike Witches

We all love cat girls. Most of us like mecha. Some of us are WWII geeks. What happens when people who are all that start to work on figurines, then novels and finally on anime?

This happens. They are teen-aged magic girls in alternative universe much like ours. They mount devices called 'Strike' that are loosely based on WWII fighter aircraft. Oh and at the point of merging with their 'strikes', the magic grows cat ears and tails on them. :3

The story is about young japanese girl joining elite squad of said 'strike witches'. The story is apparently focused on war, where the girls side is loosing the battle slowly but surely. Despite this gloomy background, the anime is said to contain some amounts of humour among all the cool aerial action. There's also been some rumours of forbidden love among the girls. *_*

You might think this is crazy.. I think this is the best thing that has come out of japan since sushi bars invaded the west.

Watch that space. That anime (if it ever gets out) will be the talk of all otaku among the world.
They might be magic girls, but they have half-mechanical bodies and are armed to teeth.

Highly Moe, I'd say.
