I searched high and low and lo and behold, a positive impression of Strike Witches TV:

My first reaction was, “Sky Girls, except better.” The characters are cuter, the setting is nicer and the fanservice is plentiful. Gonzo has really been letting me down lately, but they may have a winner here. The first episode wasn’t totally great, but this show could really go places. Like in my pants.

UPDATE: Now he added a comic and artist's commentary for it.
