Well yeah, Sound of the Sky and Strike Witches both rely heavily on character archtypes...but geez, the similarities are so obvious to me now. 'tis a shame, as I really love Sound of the Sky.

So I take it a "Why no trousers?" explanation is given in season 2 then? As I heard no mention of it in season 1.
 
If I was guessing (and, in fairness, Lawro knows a fair bit about the workings behind SW, so he could have read it from an official source/doujin/novel), I would attribute it to "fanwank", as I don't remember it being mentioned in the anime at all.

Fanwank makes sense.

Although it's made awkward in the west when a fair few of the characters are below the legal age xD

It's like when I was watching Evangelion 1.11 and we see Rei topless...then moments later we're reminded that she's 14 and I'm like:

But then minutes later, I'm like:
Looks up on Wikipedia:
The national age of consent in Japan is 13 as specified by the Japanese Penal Code Articles 176 and 177

"It's legal there and not very explicit anyways."
And then I continue my day.

EDIT: Looking at Wikipedia, just over half of the Strike Witches cast is of-age anyway. It's only Yoshika, Lynette, Perrine, Lucchini, Ella and Sanya who aren't "legal" by UK standards - so the hotter ones are legal.
*sigh of relief* I can continue being a Barkhorn fan with no regrets.
 
Naruto shippuden disc 1 of boxset 8
Berserk disc 1 and 2
Samurai girls disc 2

Tomorrow

watched samurai girls disc 1,

i liked the fan service but i think the style of the animation great.............. it has that old fashion style of drawing from past japan * cant remember which era* for the background, i liked how the ink effect was used too
 
Oreimo 2-3

Okay, Kyosuke deserved some serious awesome points for episode 3.

EDIT: Oreimo 4-5
It's starting to bug me jut how much Kyosuke is doing for Kirino. Y'know, making everyone think he's a pervert into incest just to cover for her! WAY above the call of duty and so far, she isn't showing any signs of giving a damn!
