Better Two Years Late than Never--Strike Witches 2 has a Release Date

Funimation announced the licensing of Strike Witches Season 2 for home video distribution during Anime Boston 2010.  At Anime Boston 2011, those that attended Funi's panel were informed that the series was to be released that autumn.  Finally, from the from Funi via the good folks at Robert's Anime Corner Store;  the DVD/BD Set is scheduled to be released on October 2nd.

There can be no doubt that the delay was in no way Funimation's fault; Kadokawa Shoten, the show's producer, surely made life difficult on them in fear of reverse importation of Blu-Rays (currently on sale on Play-Asia for $461.49).  Whether it was just the passage of time, the promise of the souls of Adam Sheehan's pets, or whatever transpired between Funi and Kadokawa, let us rejoice that the war on pants is indeed set to escalate on US shores.

Let us celebrate with gratuitous Sanya / Eila action:
