Now, having seen the first episode of the sequel to Aegis of Uruk, the Sword of Uruk, I’m totally convinced it’ll be another fun season of job classes, epic RPG style battles and some romantic comedy. It’s great anime, that’s for sure. The only problem is GONZO’s dying as we speak, and I’m not sure the Sword of Uruk’ll be that much of a success as Strike Witches was.
The latter was terrible, but apparently has great sales. This really speaks volumes about otaku taste, doesn’t it? They buy the DVD just to see uncensored tits! Thankfully, GONZO sneaks in some censored nipples into Druaga as well, which should insure some sort of income for the series.
I have to disagree with our master of baiting here. Strike Witches was not terrible, its fanservice was. Or, as I mentioned before, "In Strike Witches, the key idea is to pound into viewers’ minds that no matter what is shown on the screen, it’s completely natural and acceptabe in the other world... so, tough it out, suckers!" It's completely baseless[1] to presuppose that fans bought DVDs because of the de-censoring. Maybe they wanted to see Minna Wilke singing in the red dress (CV: Rie Tanaka)! Secondly, according to John @Animenation, "[] Japanese government’s Ministry of Cultural Affairs has recognized the Strike Witches TV series as one of 2008’s best anime" (I think I heard of it by myself too, but I don't have links handy).
Because of the above, I'm not sure how much stock we can put into TJ's assessement of Druaga. I liked both the Uruk (sans the fillers) and Sword 01.
[1] OK, it's not completely baseless. It's worse. There's a certain stereotype of a wanking moron otaku who buys "all those DVDs" and TJ plays up to it.
