Someone on an anime newsgroup I go to hated Strike Witches for that exact reason. Personally I've never seen it and don't really want to.

When there is a chance to see something that a get to watch and discuss with people without having to watch a lot of episodes I will check it out. Also their was to much fanservice(do we really need sailor fuku, cat ears, and no pants?). But if the main character was older I'd watch more.

But watch Lucky Star it really is funny. There is a channel with all the episodes on Veoh.

What I like about some anime is that they are short. It doesn't overstay its welcome and you can put all the episodes in a nice box set that you can show off to your friends unless your a jaded misanthrope like me.
