| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Really touching episode, loved the ending. Good thing the orbital elevator/tower is destroyed. |
 |
| This episode exceeded my expectations, in more ways than I can describe. |
| I love the Sanya/Eila pair because Eila seems like a fun person to tease. Eila must be like god tier though. Somebody fit the other witches in a tier list. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Touching episode indeed. When Sanya was swimming and Hartmann jumped in for a short moment there i thought Hartmann was Lucchini. Hartmann and Lucchini seem to have similar personality's at times, wonder if there will be a episode donated to Hartmann. That Ginger tea part was also funny Lynne being British to the core. Also Lynne shooting at Perrine and Eila was a good scene to. |
| LESBIANS! IN! SPAAAAAAAAAAAACE! |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| totally disappointed with this one. the whole episode just felt childish. i was thinking that perhaps they might not make it lame and have her suddenly use her shield at the last minute and sure enough she did. they haven't really gone to the real meat of the issue, namely the new enemy that seemed to be more ruthless than the previous one. oh well. |

| Pretty touching in the end there, but the song didn't really fit for a battle sequence, still good though. Great episode for all those shojo-ai and yuri fans Next week: fan service episode? |
Love & Piece |
| Why so much 3D animation.... Need MOAR fan service!! Nice insert song. They definitely deserve it, you know since they get 0~1 line per episode... And this is precious: |
 |
i laughed my ass off XD (she was aiming straight for her head o_O) epic episode! |
| So cute.. I couldn't help but keep a smile on my face during the whole space scene. Definitely my favorite episode so far from both seasons. I want more Strike Witches episodes to be like this. :) |
   My most recent life lesson: you know you're sleep deprived once you start daydreaming of dinosaurs..with whips. |

| My response to this episode: Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmoe MOE KAWAII DESU~! <3 Also, next episode is episode 7. The 7th episode last season was the epic one, so I wonder if AIC will make episode 7 epic again. (and the preview makes believe they will)  |

| yuri scene are always good :P |

bskbob said: QFT (^.^)yuri scene are always good :P Great episode with plenty of tasty fanservice, although I'm starting to have a grudge against the sun and it's devious rays -.-' ;P A bit cheesy with the whole I "I can't do this unless I have to protect my loved one", and very predictable. Still quite an enjoyable episode and I loved how Eila's kept demoting herself for the mission when she bragged about never having to used a shield xD |
EternalDreamer said: bskbob said: A bit cheesy with the whole I "I can't do this unless I have to protect my loved one", and very predictable.yuri scene are always good :P I get what you're saying but imo it wasn't that cheesy. Normally it's like this: can't do something, then something happens and you HAVE to protect your loved one. But this time it wasn't that Eila had to do it, but she went through trouble to actually get the chance to protect her. And since the problem from the start was just that she couldn't get rid of the habit of dodging there were no big "impossible tasks", it was just about finding the determination and getting over jealousy to do something one already could do. So imo it could have been a lot more cheesier and typical, a lot worse |
| The Animation of Eila and Yoshika when they are having a conversation while flying is really impressive.I stunt by that scene 0.0T he censor are getting more and more creative <,< Due to the importance of the fan service, they will only wear pants in cold weather.They are sure fighting hard for us ^^ |

| Good episode, but too much 3D animation. This episode really made me suddenly care about Eila. |
| i really don't like how yoshika has been basically put on the side lines considering last season she was involved in some pretty heavy stuff including making first contact. they seemed to have gone away from that entirely. it seems now all she dies is be all excited about how cool other people's abilities are. |
| Fakken dropped. 15mins into the show and not a single pantsushot. Fuck Gonzo for leaving the dev team. |

kisami said: I'm glad they have. I've always liked most of the other girls more than her. I rather see the other girls more than Yoshika being apart of everything. And it's not like Yoshika still isn't apart of everything. She went shopping last episode, and was initially suppose to be the person that was going to protect Sanya.....i really don't like how yoshika has been basically put on the side lines considering last season she was involved in some pretty heavy stuff including making first contact. they seemed to have gone away from that entirely. it seems now all she dies is be all excited about how cool other people's abilities are. and *shameless plug* |

| great episode. I liked it, especially the ending....that song might not be fit for battle, but oh well. also, the censors....damn that scene at the lake....I could of understood if they only censored the breasts part, but those damn lines were all over the screen  |
 |
| I liked the insert song they played at the end. |

| I liked this episode. I thought Eila was pretty boring in the first season, since she got like 4 lines. It was nice seeing more of her personality in this episode. Also btw, in case anyone wants the insert song they played at the end, it's already been released last season with the "hime uta" drama/character song cds. It's on the 2nd one, and it's called "sweet duet" |

| One thing I think is funny is that in the OVA Eila was in the battle formation in lead with Hartmann and Gertrude. Of course nothing was said out loud but I believe that since she was grouped with them the original plan in OVA for Eila was that she would be in more prominent roles in battles (I'm not really saying they made the character weaker in the series, just that she was given a different role). Which kinda saddens me since the soldier Eila is based on, Eino Ilmari Juutilainen, was the best(!) non-German WWII ace.. so it kinda feels like he/she got ripped off in the actual series. Hopefully they'll show a bit more of that side of her later in S2. But they did manage to make Eilanya adorable in exchange, and I wouldn't trade this specific episode for anything. |
| Very touching episode, too bad the miraculous moonlight of censorship shines in all its glory once again. I'll definitely rewatch SW2 once the uncensored episodes are available. |

I love the ending sung by Eila and Sanya as well. Gotta get it when it's out xD |

| This single episode had the energy of a full-fledged 90' movie: intro, problem, character growth, moment of separation, climax, ending song. This was so, so unexpected. I had faith in the series since the early episodes in the series, but it doesn't cease to amaze me. They pulled off in ~20 minutes what most of movies can't during their whole duration. I'm happy I picked this up back in the day passing over all the pantsu criticism. Of course, panty shots are always a plus anyway. :3 Unfortunately, there was way too much CG witches, both at the beginning (group flight scene) and at the ending (loli rocket pyramid). And where's the water/bathing scenes that made me lofe the first series' animations so much? I need a mizugi episode! I know there's gonna be one! A redo of the missing panties one at least... XD One last think: you think you're gonna be cold at -70°? Why don't you wear some damn pants then? :\ This is the very first time I questioned the missing pants. But whatever, probably wearing pants is punished by martial law. |
| LOL didn't notice that the sub because i am watching raw. 11:47 Eila says to Sanya, "No, she was terrible." Here she obviously says "no good" about deploying shield, not about Perrine. I wonder this translator actually comprehend the story. no good=terrible. She is terrible at activating shield. She is no good at activating shield. ....look the same to me / One last think: you think you're gonna be cold at -70°? Why don't you wear some damn pants then? : This is the very first time I questioned the missing pants. But whatever, probably wearing pants is punished by martial law. Due to the importance of the fan service, they will not wearing pants in cold weather.They are sure fighting hard for us ^^ There is no martial law involve here,we ARE the martial law LOL |

| oh I see ,I made some mistake by not knowing the previous chat...... but that sentence can also mean that perrine has fail to become a suitable teacher because perrine =/= Sanya .Perrine is a terrible choice.Maybe Sanya will become a better teacher ??Does that sound logical?? anyway,nvm about it |
| I noticed those mistakes also. And was a bit surprised, since especially the mistakes that were done with Sanya and Eila's lines were.. kind of odd to say the least. I don't know if it's a futile wish but I hope the mirrors could be fixed with the right translations. |
| Magnificent episode. Unlike your usual Pantsu Witches episode, I found myself touched by the events that took place instead of being greatly amused. Especially when Eila more or less confesses to Sanya near the end of the episode with all that "I'll fly to the edge of the world for you"-stuff, I found it difficult to believe that I'm still watching Strike Witches. This is probably the best Pantsu Witches episode I've seen thus far. Yes, I know I'm repeating what a lot of people are saying but that's what I think of it. Also, the second season has been vastly superior to the first in pretty much every sense. Since this is my first post in a thread related to this show, might aswell blurt that out even though it probably means little to nothing to anyone reading this. And, well, that's pretty much all I have to say thus far. Let's see if AIC follows Gonzo's footsteps and makes ep 07 the ultimate fanservice episode. I wouldn't be surprised - it would probably serve as an attempt to balance things after having such a serious and dramatic sixth episode. If it goes that way, well... we'll see if it succeeds. If not, then... well, not. I'll probably enjoy it either way. |
| I think that this is the greatest story so far. |
| To be honest, I laughed pretty hard. Let's draw a veil over 'physics' since breaking its rules is common in movies/shows nowadays. However what's the point is how this series overstates everything... all those 'feelings' are exaggerated and artificial that it just feels funny. It was the weakest episode in this season and I dare to say that probably the weakest in the whole series. I know that it's just another stupid ecchi action anime, but for god's sake, can't they create something a little bit more original and natural? Apparently not... |

| since I have free time maybe i just to some argument here as well ^^ What Eila did say was that it was no good. The training session was no good. Saying that something was no good and saying someone is a terrible teacher are two vastly different things. based on the "training session" in this episode, we have to know that the training session is control/teach by a human.Human is what makes the training session success not the training session.The training session is not to be a blame,because it can be substitute by any tutor or altered rulez.It is a generalize saying that we should blame human's fault ,not the rule because human makes the rule, not the opposite. I don't think Eila was that snobby to ask for help and then proclaim that Perrine was a bad teacher-- she was an equally terrible student. So what she said was that it was simply not good or that nothing good came out of the practice. Eila is too prideful to blame herself. here is how I explained it. Eila ask for Perrine's help because Perrine has a rivalry against Miyafuji. Miyafuji =good at shield prideful Eila = Bad at shield prideful Perrine hate Miyafuji. Eila + Perrine ? Obviously,The whole idea of asking Perrine for help is a troll fail(if you know what i mean) -_-: Anyway, we have to realize that Eila is a proudful faggot which has pride over for not putting up a shield .Do you think she will ask for Sanya her best friend's help? During the Sauna scene,Eila hide the conversation when Sanya come in(I am not making this explanation up). At the end, Eila able to put up a decent shield because of Sanya.Of course,the story would be more dramatic if Eila will put up shield along with Perrine ....// Although the moral of this story might sound a little twisted on discrimination on friendship(bad moral to teach kids but who cares) but still I enjoy the this particular episode just to let you know . |

But the point, what happened in the episode, was that Eila said that it was no good, with which she meant that she couldn't do it. She wasn't really blaming anyone, not Perrine, not the training and neither herself. She just said that it didn't work. There was no indication that she was talking about Perrine when she said that, none. And since (at least) every Japanese fan of the show knows that Eila can't handle her loving feelings for Sanya, calling her へたれ, it's not like she's a "prideful faggot", she just thought it was embarrassing thing to show Sanya. But.. ugh.. damn it's really difficult to follow your thought. I think you're over-thinking it and creating motives out of nothing. But the whole point of this argument is that did Eila blame Perrine? And as I said before, there was no indication that Eila was blaming Perrine. Even though Sanya called it "ペリ＝ヌの特訓" literally "Perrine's practice", she meant "practice with Perrine", that was just to tell that she new she was practicing with Perrine, she didn't mean anything more with that. Ugh it's really hard to explain this but the point again is that in the original Japanese dialogue there was no indication that Eila was blaming anyone. |
