.... Man, and people accused Kill la Kill for gratuitous amounts of fanservice...
Okay, so the thing that is sticking out the most with me is that X-11 Witch-Class Nueroi and the hive it came from... out of all the other hives, that was the only one that attempted peaceful communication... and it was subsequently obliterated by another hive.
So, we have clear evidence of there being other factions among the Neuroi.
Now, I can understand what was going on with the production... they left a hook for the next season with the possibility of peace being worked out, but apparently they changed their minds because it would probably be too long and complex of a story to work out. Instead, better to just have them be clear-cut enemies so we can have humans stay as good guys and the Nueroi stay as bad guys.
Uggghhhhh. I hate it when writers/producers do that.
Don't get me wrong, I love Strike Witches for the depths of character development. These girls are about as far as you can get from being flat and 2-D as possible. But the plot is terribly repetitive, being more or less recycled in the second season and the movie.
Anyhow... I kinda wonder what sort of story could be made if peaceful contact had been made with the X-11... and then it had been protected from the rival Neuroi (not to mention that freaking 'Warlock' monstrosity)...
Thoughts?
