It looks good and kind of silly, it has the energy and charm of a good idol anime, but it lacks the essence of the Strike Witches franchise.

Would've considered watching this cuz SHAFT and interesting premise, but the character designs don't attract me all that much and I ain't into ecchi.
Cool to see SHAFT's still around though.
