Nice bath scene and Neroi Hive too bad the navy using Neroi technology seems to have failed to destroy to hive (Why can't people in anime and real life actually research unknown technology before using it?) and Mio may not be coming back next episode. Mio has been losing her magic gradually throughout the series now it's pretty much near gone.

Man, how will all of this end?
Will Mio die?
Will Miyafuji gain the power to slay the dragon?
Will she ever get her boob heaven?
How will there be more Strike Witches after this?

Can't wait for next week for the last episode of season 2.

Oh my god a action packed episode!!
That those cannons would not work, i saw that coming for some reason.
Sakamoto losing her powers because of her sword is sad for her.
Speaking of sad things the scene where she was hugging Minna was great, really touching scene.
Also since this season has been most about fan service where is the Miyafuji and Lynette yuri scene!?

I really liked how they packed a lot of action and drama into this episode, can't wait for the next (and final) episode to air!

the bath scene was also quite nice... I expect much DVD sales for them.

This one had cool action scenes, but you could totally call it on the navy ship not working.

The Yamato does look quite nice in Black Octagon Red Outline doesn't it?
i'm not even going to really comment, I just want to see how all of this mess ends and how far off I am.

Did the sword drop into Yamamoto or it drop into other battle cruiser.
Most probably Miyafuji gonna draw out the sword and slay the whole army of neuro with one strike and Sakamoto's chances to survive is very low in the next episode.

Oh where did the sudden story come from xD
I kinda liked the slice of life pantsu with a hint of yuri (^.^)

I wonder who will be the key stone in the defeat of the hive though, Miyafuji since she undoubtedly is the lead character and seems to have the most magical power when it really counts. Sakamoto who probably will find a new way to utilize her magic and the "ultimate sword technique".
Or will they simply charge up Yamato and unleash a barrage of hellfire.

And who knows, perhaps there will be a victory kiss between one of the girl couples at the very end =D xD

Well I can at least give them prop for not making the Yamato out of control but there is one episode left so who knows.

I have the feeling that Miyafuji will use the true reppuzan because if Mio regain her power I'll be disapoint.

Finally, some action, I hope after they finish the 2nd season, they announce another season, and this time it has double of everything from both seasons except for the beam censoring and obvious CGI's, but more Moe, Fanservice, and Yuri!!!!!! I hope they make Strike Witches 3!!! ASAP

The sword landed on the Yamato and absorbed it's magical power hence why the cannon was not able to be fired.

There was some good character drama and good action in this episode. I'm not going to go off on a rant about the military leadership in this series, or how this playing out EXACTLY how the first season played out with the Warlock. I will say I was hoping for something a bit more unique though.

Finally some action Hallelujah!
I thought there would be no real battle anymore.

This episode really rocked, especially the very nice teamwork scenes
Lucchini Charlotte and with the "Brummkreisel" attack, what have I laughed as the UFOs are rumgekugelt
Or even better , Sanya and Eila were, "I shot only one time" =D

But I even had to laugh at inappropriate scenes.
As Mio wanted to chop the UFO, but then the sword flew away
The ram maneuver of the Yamato was also unintentionally funny
At first I thought "Yeah they move with full force" but then ship only did* plong * and stopped. XD

that were also my thoughts

It seems like they will go for a similar scenario like in the end of Season 1:
The military built a super weapon, which should make the Witches superfluos,
but in real battle the super weapon is going crazy or does not work at all.

Man, when I saw Reppumaru land on the Yamato deck I was all like 'man, that can't be good, large magic sucking sword that it is!

Looks like Mio's gonna use Final Reppenzu which seems like a forrbiden move with terminal drawbacks. Goodbye old soldier. You were hot.

Seeing the Yamato rise out of the water and fly off to the hive reminded me of the first episode of Space Battleship Yamato. Quite the Nostalgic scene for me. Liked the drama and tension in this episode. XD I feel kind of silly for commenting on a thread that's about 3 years old. Nonetheless for any future viewers/commenters I hope Mio can still perform one last heroic deed via a sacrifice or team up with Miyafuji to perform the True Reppumaru (sorry if that was misspelled).

Nice buildup but the use of the default concept of UFO isn't really that interesting as they had pretty much better concepts before! But a nice buildup episode to give an extra kick for the final episode!

Why do they even bother with the core control stuff. It's just going to fail every time. It looks like the reppumaru drained the magic power from the Yamato.

Fudgeeeeee! I thought the Yamato plan worked out pretty well, but then it end up in a failure. Felt bad for Mio for losing her power, but she is still persistent to save everyone and still fight.

Let's see how the last episode wrap things up.

Episode that does not skimp on anything, there is drama, action at will and twists; even the fanservice is spared. Whole is another nice chapter in the saga of the Strike Witches, drawings and animations, good.

Episode that plays a lot on drama and action, the thing does not mind and thickness to the anime series. The narrative rhythm is very lively, it involves the whole episode and the ending puts good expectations in the next episode. But the convincing thing about this episode is that you don't lose your comic streak in a serious enough context without being out of place.

I found this episode was so funny. As a Uchuu Senkan Yamato fan, the ship taking off left me dying of laughter. The Yamato Captain is voiced by the same guy who does Tokugawa in 2199.

Yea, no shit, they suddenly attack the nest. More surprise, they already had a preparation before, using Yamato as same as Warlock at the previous episode. But, at these episode, they showed some progression, using the core as a power plant only, instead of letting it acted with its own intelligence. As the result, its really good, they could control Neuroi's power by tranforming that carrier ship into a Neuroi. However, it seemed, they still had a trouble to maintained the power balance, and yeah, the main resource got blocked and Yamato's engine death in one second .... Was the mission failed? Not yet. There was still Sakamoto that might launched her final attack!

I hope she had a plan, instead of fulfilled herself with a wrath only. Depression was not so good, girl!
