| Izetta sunk the KMS Graf Zeppelin! Did she just dive bomb that CV with torps? I thought she was gonna drop 'em into the carrier's path like a one-woman torpedo bomber squadron, but that works too. Why use torpedoes conventionally when you can use them like airborne anti-ship missiles anyway... Dem Germanians need to work on their AA. An escorting DD, CL and a fighter squadron or two running CAP filling the sky with tracers still isn't enough. :P On another note, feeling likely we'll run into an episode where her magic, or the lack thereof, will eventually fail to save the day considering the enemy is creeping closer to figuring out her weakness... Maybe Greater Liechtenstein Eylstadt's military has another trick or two up their sleeve, or at least some military support for Izetta when she finds herself in such a situation. |
| Episode was okay. But with the pacing ... I already thought this is going to be 1 cour only. Seems this info also is on MAL (12 episodes). I don't think where will be any interesting/deeper plot anymore. But hopefully some more nice action with the guys (airplane fighter guy). Score for me ight end up with a 7 when it started as 8 (hoped for more/better story). |
Not really. Its the matter of having a full scale understanding of the world and not applying double standards to relationships and interactions base don gender. http://misrepresentationofwomen.weebly.com/heteronormativity.html |

| A great episode as always Hmm a Germanian aircraft carrier Thankfully its still not operational as its real life counterpart lol Its also nice to see the alternate forms of Norway and France in this episode just to parallel it with WW2 as well Its interesting to see that the United States doesn't actually exist here because alongside the ambassador from Atlanta there's also the one from Louisiana Man that Britannia ambassador really knows how to set the pace of the meeting doesn't he And wow what an entrance from Fine and Izetta lol well then guys Izetta does certainly exist as you see Izetta's power is more akin to a rapier and is more suited to precise strikes wow planning to sink their aircraft carrier is quite a bold declaration I can't see the germanians being lax in their security though Hmm and a new pilot from the Britannians to help in the operation interesting Lol Izetta looks so flustered about staying in the same room with Fine man they have quite a close bond But the trust they have in each other is absolute though man that ace seems to be enjoying his new plane that was given to him by intel though he seems to be a motormouth lol That kid thats partnered with him though tries to hard to be his boss sometimes This operation though looks pretty risky But since Fine and Izetta both agreed with it Both have the utmost confidence in it Lets hope it goes off successfully Hmm the four engined bombers that they use to carry the torpedoes look like lancasters Its nice to have someone or something to protect when you're fighting as Izetta stated The sight of Izetta dragging items with her as she flies never ceases to amaze me Now she's dragging torpedoes with her and 4 of them as well Lol the expressions of the crew and the observers wow so she has to aim her torpedo at the center of the carrier and detonate them at the same time and depth thats rather tricky Just as you expect the Germanians have laid an ambush the carrier is just too juicy of a bait to let up wow those new fighters of theirs are fast and are able to keep up with Izetta that easily But its nice that the Britannia pilot has the guts to charge into battle as well And man that was some good timing in getting there to cover Izetta's attack Though they managed to sink the carrier The germanians now know Izetta weakness or close to it Hmm it seems that the Germanians may still have another witch judging from that capsule Combat scenes and animation in this episode was especially good especially when Izetta was engaged with the carriers escorts and fighters. |

| Rise and shine, Izetta! The action & OST in this episode was fucking great, as usual. And I really like how she speaks with the objects she control. It's kinda cute. Now I wonder if they really know Izetta's weakness... Holy cow, they have their own witch? I can't wait for the Witch vs Witch episode. |
 |
| Probably the best episode since both characters have more attitude and good action scenes. Entertaining. |

Phlippy said: What I'm wondering since the beginning of this anime: why are the shooting bullets glowing green? It looks like it's straight outta fuckin Star Wars.. They are shooting tracer ammunition and as such it can emit a green glow (what isn't such a bad idea as it must make adjusting aim easier). |
Mascera said: Pretty awesome action by Izetta, especially with that Torpedos. I'm pretty sure those were missiles. To be called a torpedo, it must go under water lol Well, shit's gotten more real. They're onto her weakness, and they're gonna formulate a plan against her, for an easier kill... Damn. I hope Izetta lives by the end of the show! |
| Man first Yaoi n Fire and now this. What is up with people getting all buttmad about yaoi/yuri bait? It's not like ZOMG the show gets any better or worse if the characters are actually gonna drill butts/scissor each other. |

It's not like ZOMG the show gets any better or worse if the characters are actually gonna drill butts/scissor each other. The problem comes from it never coming to fruition if you don't want to commit to it, don't bait. Adding very clear hints and then backpedaling or never elaborating is just awful. Using sexual orientation for fanservice and marketing is just exploitative and its very common practice nowadays and people are just tired of it. Why do you think Hibike Queerbaitphonium gets so much flak for it? Not to mention that bait usually breaks narrative and affects the way the show is written. Look at Nanoha franchise and how silly and outright amateurish the "just friends" idea feels there. We live in times when people are no longer satisfied with just being targets of baiting. People want LGBT pairings to exist. And not just be there when the show needs somebody to kill off. So when the show starts baiting it is only normal to start asking where it is going. So yeah, depending on how Izetta and Fine are handled WILL affect the overall rating of the show. |

I mean is it really any worse than using cool action shots or pretty background music as fanservice? And one more thing, it's really only bait if you go into it looking for that kind of thing. |
Genix said: But, but... The shape is "perfectly fit" to be called a torpedo, also Izetta use her "magic touch" to make it fly like a missile. Oh well, whatever it is at least it perfectly explode.Mascera said: Pretty awesome action by Izetta, especially with that Torpedos. I'm pretty sure those were missiles.

Red_Ranger_Wien said: I mean is it really any worse than using cool action shots or pretty background music as fanservice?

Even the malegaze camera shot fanservice does not come close to that level of grossness. |
|
| That was exciting. It would be nice if the animation was good, but it was an entertaining episode. |
| this anime is actually nice and its a good episode, but Im getting so f*cking upset of the "almost yuri" scenes, if they end kissing, I hope they do it next episode and not at the end so I can drop it on time... gosh And Im waiting for more and more actions scenes. This and Drifters have the best this season. |
| :v |
| Great episode. Other than the tickling scene being typical. I got no complaints. Actually I got another complaint. The "bilge" is not the lowest part of a ship. That is wrong. Bilge is the curved part of the hull's bottom. He was talking about the keel that snaps from an underwater explosion. Also... Fai? Historically accurate? This isn't supposed to be. It just takes the background of WW2 and have its own story from there. It is like expecting strike witches to be accurate. Shows like Zipang is where you would judge historical accuracy. Also please explain what was a major inaccuracy that would derail one's entertainment? |

| Introduction of a second witch... Interesting... Makes me think that the white witch will return. |
|
| yeah that new guy that joined them just looks like he's up to no good just by looking at him and of course glasses guy would figure it out from just seeing weakness once and to make things even worst they're about to go to that castle and find out that map which is about to make things real rough for Izetta and the others but other than this ep was nice also loved the Izetta x Finé moment |
| "one step at a time" |
| Izetta has been in a state of mental duality for some time now. She fights and kills, then turns around and exhibits an innocent mind when it comes to the normal life stuff. She even said that the fighting seems like a dream. I'm not sure how many people have realized this, but a state like this cannot be maintained. She hasn't realized what death means, and it's going to hit her hard later on, when circumstances require her to be up close and personal with someone she kills. She will realize that she's massacred hundreds and thousands of people single-handedly, regardless of the reasoning. The mental methodology of war has always been "kill a few to save many more in war," without realizing that by doing so they perpetuate a cycle that only piles up the death counts on both sides, and all for what? You don't like the ideology of the nation coming to take your lands. Otherwise you'd just let them take over, then try to preserve your way of life afterwords through discussion and dealing. The truth is that the average person's life won't change all that much even if there's a change of leadership, unless the new leadership is flawed and permeates poverty, or excessive restrictions that make some peoples' jobs impossible. The occasional nation may have policies of mandatory service or conscription as well. |

Since this is based on World War 2, if you hand over your nation to the AXIS, there is no way the civilian life will remain same... they will either get massacred or be treated as second class citizens. |

The occasional nation may have policies of mandatory service or conscription as well. Uh, that's mainly in cases of those who've been put into camps, which is something that happens in wars of all kinds. The imperials did it to the natives, japanese did it to others around the east, russia did it, it's pretty much a staple of heated warfare. When the war ends, there's no need to waste assets on such things. Camps get dissolved etc. People like to speculate what Nazi supremacy might have looked like, and it's usually biased. It was similar in a lot of ways to the roman empire, though a bit more retarded, and in an age where there's strong military arsenal everywhere... as opposed to the old days before fast communication when it was generally if you had the numbers and the organization, then you won. The face of war was changing since the advent of instant communications, and WW1/WW2 was when everyone realized it. Anyway, it wouldn't have been as bad as people like to think, they had a plan. They weren't being russia where they need a pack leader like dogs. Nazi Germany pissed everyone off because they kept getting their fingers all over everything and invading (not unlike what the USA is doing today). |

| I feel bad for Izetta, Fine, and the Elystadt crew. They have the decked stacked against them so fucking hard it's not even fair. - Izetta isn't this invincible beast. Her powers have the obvious major flaw of being dependent on ley lines. - none of the allied countries are open to helping Elsytadt or fighting Germania. They "want" to help, but the government just aren't open to it. Fine is legit bending over backwards just to get the most minimal of outside support. - Germania is OP as fuck. They're technologically superior in every way to the other countries. - Izetta's biggest strength was her speed and agility, and now Germania magically invented a new plane that gives crazy pilot guy a fighting chance. - Germania guy with the glasses is gary-stu as all fucking hell. He magically knew off the bat that she had a big weakness. He watched Izetta's battle from a cliff and just from one instance of watching her slow down and hit the water, he immediately knew exactly what her weakness was. There could be a million explanations for what he saw, but somehow immediately deduced the correct reason, just because. - Germania is now man-made creating their own witch, and, knowing Germania, that witch will be broken and OP as fuck. Probably wont have to rely on ley lines to draw power and will somehow be way stronger than Izetta. |
| @Jonesy974 From episode 6... Jonesy974 said: It only mattered because she was trying to protect the torpedoes. With an arsenal of swords or what-have-you, it'd be no problem. The plane wasn't magically invented, the arsenal in the show is all accurate for the time, and that's right around when they'd be testing new models like that (i'm not sure which this is, it might be a custom modification).- Izetta's biggest strength was her speed and agility, and now Germania magically invented a new plane that gives crazy pilot guy a fighting chance.

| The animation was pretty poor in this episode, but it made up for it in action and entertainment! |
| I thought it was cool when Izetta used magic to get those missiles (?) to follow her. I have a strong feeling that someone is going to backstab them soon. :( Of course, I can't comment without mentioning that drool-worthy, yuri bedroom scene between Fine and Izetta. The pervert in me is too strong. Magic battle next week. |
| 臭い- |
Fai said: 1idd0kun said: That's not a fact. It can interpreted as Izetta being embarrassed because she feels unworthy of sharing a room/bed with the princess. That actually goes in line with her humble and self-deprecating attitude. Yes friends totally lie in the same bed facing each other while in their underwear, holding hands an d looking longingly into each other's eyes. Suure.  #SubtleFriendship Can we get more scenes like this, please? I'm going to be pissed if it's just more bait. |

Considering there has been exactly zero actual development or textual discussion on the subtext(is that even still subtext?), it is 99% surely bait that will most likely be "resolved" via one of them dying. The show is content with not progressing beyond "they care about each other, guys, ain't it sweet?!" state and is not even giving the characters the chance to explore who they are as people and reflect upon all that happened. It seems that this season all the actual real gay stuff has condensed into Flip Flappers and Yuri on Ice while all the bait - into izetta and queerbaitphonium. |
|
| I was very glad to see that nobody took any "stupid pills" this week. And hitting a carrier in the hangar is a very good method of taking it out of action. Well done! |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| Izetta is really good at blowing shit up. I hope the Nazis don't get that information as easily as they plan, that would be pretty lame. |
 |
| Now that's how you use a torpedo. |
 |
| [Chyuu] is so slow! Another successful mission by Izetta! looks like Berckmann & Ricelt is slowly figuring-out the weakness of Izetta! 4/5. |
 |
| Well, that didn't quite go as planned. It made the battle more suspenseful and enjoyable. |
  |
| Finé and Izetta bedtime moment was cute...I am shipping them! |
 |
| any show show with an impressive action episode gets a good score from me. By the way, I'm watching the dub while I wait for chihiro... Should I switch to sub? |

| That battle was intense! Glad Izetta got out of it alright but it looks like they're closer to finding her weaknesses.. plus there's another witch in the works? |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| what with that tube? they're creating an artificial witch? now even the Germanian heard the secret of the witch? as far as I know, the only thing that know it's location is fine, izeta, bianca, elvira, and muller and never been told to anyone. did one of those reveal the secret? how did they learn? am I missing something here? |
