Is there really a proper OVA episode of this? The version that I have seen seems to be a preview, but at 8 minutes in length, it seems to be more substantual than most previews. We're guessing that it may be something like Grayson, a project to show what they could do, but they didn't have the budget or time to do a full-length version.

The girls' animal parts

New information's come out that tells what animal each girl becomes when they get into their Striker Units. I'm not sure where exactly to insert this info, so Enyce or someone else should do it.

Yoshika: Dog, Mame-shiba(small dog)
Mio: Dog, Doberman
Minna: Wolf
Lynette: Cat, Scottish Fold
Perrine: Cat, chartreux
Erica: Dog, Dachshund
Gertrud: Dog, German pointer
Franceska: Black leopard
Charlotte: Rabbit
Eila: Black fox
Sanya: Black cat —Preceding unsigned comment added by Norse Am Legend (talk • contribs) 19:12, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

-Thanks for the info, NAL. I weaved it in as best as I could; I also made a distinction to Gertrud's breed as I thought best fit the appearance of the dog ears and tail. Enyce02941 (talk) 21:44, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rank

Re-watching the first two episodes, I note that the official subtitles use Major for Mio's rank (shousa 少佐), using the common army ranking system rather than the specific air force ranks the article has now. If there are similar usages in future episodes (少尉 = Ensign, 大尉 = Captain, etc.,) I'll change the individual rank descriptions in the Characters section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Enyce02941 (talk • contribs) 02:17, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was my understanding that according to this wiki article, Naval ranks of the Japanese Empire during World War II, that the translation merely said 'Naval Major'. It also seems to me that she was based of an IJN pilot, and she also wears the white officer's jacket for the IJN. So it'd proably make sense that she'd be a 'Naval Major' instead of an Army Air Force major.

Dates

Just making another note here about my recent edit to the Plot section. Episode 1 states the first Neuroi attack occurred in 1939. Assuming that Yoshika's father left that same year (when she was six years old,) then eight years had passed by the time that Yoshika meets Mio. If we go by this, then the story takes place in 1947.

Well, in the latest episode they show the date as 1944, so my previous thoughts were mistaken. Enyce02941 (talk) 00:45, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clothing

Is there a reason female characters do not wear pants at all? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.119.210.17 (talk) 17:36, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because Japan. - Norse Am Legend (talk) 20:22, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's explained in the article as skin contact being necessary to use the Striker Units, but that does nothing to explain why we saw even average school girls in episode 1 not wearing pants or even skirts, or why Perrine can get away with wearing stockings while in flight. It's just one of those things in anime that you're better off not questioning, else you'll just dwell on it endlessly while missing the rest of the show. ;) --Billdorr (talk) 12:33, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Episode list

There should probably be one. I tried using the standard table format but, well, I failed miserably. These things require more effort to create than I originally thought. - Norse Am Legend (talk) 22:46, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
