4 | *** Creator/HozumiGouda is the narrator for the ''Strike Witches'' series, as well as Ichiro Miyafuji's voice actor. |

14 | * CashCowFranchise: ''Strike Witches'' more or less completely saved {{Creator/GONZO}} financially (to some extent; they still went through bankruptcy in 2009).

15 | * CreatorBacklash: Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard voiced a role in the English dub's first season, but you wouldn't know it from the credits because she was so ashamed of the show that she insisted on [[AlanSmithee using an alias]]. Apparently, she wasn't the only one. |

34 | *** Creator/HozumiGouda reprises his role of the narrator for the first time since ''Operation Victory Arrow'' six years earlier. |
35 | * ScrewedByTheLawyers: Due to copyright concerns regarding the usage of "Lili Marleen" in the first season episode "[[Recap/StrikeWitchesEp8IWontForgetYou I Won't Forget You]]", the North American home media releases as well as the Crunchyroll/Funimation streams replace it with "Negai no Tomoshibi"[[note]]Lamp of a Wish[[/note]], also sung by Creator/RieTanaka. |
36 | * ScrewedByTheNetwork: Kadokawa had Creator/{{Funimation}} limit the North American home video release to DVD only in 2010. It was not until two years later that Funimation finally released it on Blu-Ray and DVD. |
