365 Days of Anime Characters: Day 131/365 Mio Sakamoto
Day 131/365
Mio Sakamoto
From the anime Strike Witches, Mio Sakamoto is a 19 year old Strike Witch. She was the very first Strike Witch and is the sub-commander of the unit. She is known as the Squadron Leader because of her seniority as an experienced veteran of fighting against the Neuroi. Under her eye patch is a magic eye that makes it easier for her to spot Neuroi. She carries a type 99 aircraft cannon into a battle along with a magical katana. She can kick some serious ass.
Why I like her: She is the toughest and most mature of the Strike Witches. She trains everyone with a iron fist yet is gentile when she needs to be. I liked that each of the girls had a fitting animal feature when equipped with their Striker's. Mio has Doberman ears and tail when she has her Striker on which clearly shows her dominance.
Why I hate her: I HATE characters with eye patches. >.<
Overall: I was dreading watching this show because honestly I thought I wouldn't like it and everyone told me I wouldn't like it. I liked it and am waiting for season 2 eagerly. GO Mio!

You know what, chii? I’m going to go ahead and back you up on the eyepatch thing. Don’t like them at all. Disfigurement has never really been something I look for in a character.
My fave is Lynette! I also like the Finnish one.

I don’t know…. Should I give this show a try? The concept is odd enough, however people are telling me that this show is actually good.

Eric – it’s a lot better than it has any right to be. I still don’t understand why though =/.

@therik you always seem to surprise me XD
@Eric it’s not amazing but it’s not as terrible as people made it out to be. if you go into it with the lol mindset i think that is best. best thing is to NOT take it seriously at all.
@janai even if those eye patch wearers are manly men?

@chii: NO!

I’ve always hated how she has cropped ears when transformed, instead of natural doberman ears. What motherfucker chopped off part of her ears while she was still a baby? Is this anime promoting female ablation?
