there's no actual witches ? That's a bit disappointing considering I had planned on watching it

There ARE witches, just not the type Sparker wanted.

I found it to be quite an average show - very similar to others of its type >_>
Maybe I'm missing something.

What are you comparing against?

Because it sure as hell isn't anything like these typical ecchi harem shows everywhere.  I don't think you should lump it with other non-harem fanservicy shows either, because they're fundamentally different at the core.  Ecchi/fanservice shows gets viewers by sexually exciting them, Strike Witches I personally think mostly appeals to people because of the happy and positive feelings you get from watching it, like K-on and Aria (except those are slice of life, while Strike Witches isn't).  The costumes are just an extra, and it never goes out of it's way to give you fanservice scenes like a true ecchi show would.  Also, Strike Witches doesn't contain any romance elements at all.
