Stripey does an excellent job rehabilitating Sky Girls for me, so I added it into the queue. Initially it was rejected as Strike Witches wannabe which could not go past the mundane, and also thanks to Wonderduck's write-up of the OVA (apparently lost now, the old link goes into nowhere). It's possible that Stripey only says right words and the show is not actually there, but we'll see. At least let's give it a chance.
