Tis the season for mecha musume. Gonzo and J.C. Staff each have OVAs capitalizing on the popularity of moe girls and mecha. Millions of otaku cry out in helpless subservience as they bow down to their twelve year old masters. Enter Strike Witches and Sky Girls.

As you can see from the pictures on the left, the two are really similar. Lolicon + Mecha = Win is the logic. But which is better? I shall tell you.

Strike Witches
Gonzo makes a strong entry here. Their girls are more moe by far, and there are more of them. Gonzo has a whopping eleven lolis here. Something for everyone. However, they lose points for the creepy mecha legs, but the girls have a regular mode, so I can allow it.

Sky Girls
J.C. Staff's OVA is compelling as well. They have a great trailer but only four lolis. That is less than half of Gonzo's loli count! However, the lolis have real legs so I will count them as eight. I can't rate the sound track for Strike Witches, but Sky Girls has great music so far.

So which is the winner? It was close, but I think Strike Witches will be the reigning champion. Gonzo will surely pull lots of beautiful animation out for this, and since it's an OVA maybe heavy fanservice as well. But the real deciding factor was a little thing called Francesca Lucchini.

I used a form of the word loli eight nine times in this article.
