I will concede that it took me three tries to get past the first episode, though the first time was arguably just me not being in accepting-new-patients mode, and the second was my own baggage and not the show's (as has been discussed in other posts). Once I did, though, the rest followed... quite rapidly. I will also acknowledge, in the interest of full disclosure, that there are a number of "um... guys?" moments in there, but overall it's quite charming. And you will eventually stop wanting to kill the FrenchGallian girl.

My endorsement of Strike Witches is somewhat more qualified than that of K-On!, is what I'm saying, but I still endorse it heartily. It's just a little more buyer-beware. :)

Also, the Blu-Rays of the two TV seasons are hella cheap on Amazon right now (as is the catgirl aliens show, I've just noticed), but it doesn't appear that the Strike Witches movie is officially out in English yet.
