If you liked this 1st episode then go and watch the 2 seasons of the original series as well as the movie. You're legit making me wish I could purposely not do that, out of spite. Wait, so you recommend skipping Operation Victory Arrow? Chendroshee said: Heck, even Yoshika is so fcking annoying in Season 1.... SAKAMOTO-SAN! SAKAMOTO-SAN! SAKAMOTO-SAN! SAKAMOTO-SAN! SAKAMOTO-SAN! |
| Things I disliked from this episode: Our new heroine is annoying, they gave her a pity pass, and the episode was a huge ball of cliche. Hope we at least get 'original' personalities from the other witches. Whatever its nothing new, but I still like the Strike Witch universe so I look forward to the rest of the season. 2/5 for this episode. |

| I thought it was awesome. I also got a kick out of Strike Witches S1, S2, OVAs, the movie, and Victory Arrow. To me it's most important that it entertains me, I don't concentrate on minutia. It cracks me up on how politically incorrect the entire franchise is. I'm sure there would be a lot of "it's the current year!," "Wow! Just wow!" "I can't even!" and "I'm shaking right now," if any normies deigned to watch. Even the ending theme title - "Little Wing -The Spirit of Lindberg." An obvious reference to Charles Lindbergh! Ha ha ha. |
| Good episode it was fun. Hikari is cute. |
 |
| At first read I thought the title was Brave Bitches LOL. So this is a part of or related to Strike Witches... seems your generic schoolgirl MC who desperately want to be with her elder sis. 3/5. |
 |
| Really weak. The drama between Ms.Arrogant and the MC would be insulting to drama between kids in kindergarten. It was painfully obvious that she was gonna fuck up because of her arrogance and saving her ass would get the MC the pass. So far, not good. I hope this gets better quickly. |
 |
| Revised the episode with subtitles in my native language, despite being a admirer of this saga, more than appreciate the narrative, in absolute terms, I have enjoyed the great quality, making animations and scenarios. I hope that in the story level is a step higher to past seasons, building a narrative, well-articulated and interesting. It's catchy and pleasant, the soundtrack. |
 |
I just realized this lol |
 |
| am glad that this series is back new characters and all so im really looking forward to more of this series and characters also was a nice start to the series first battle next ep |
| "one step at a time" |
| RIP Witches. Shitty new witches, shitty story, shitty 3d flying... Why not new Strike Witches? |

| I didn't realize this was going to be Strike Witches. No thanks. Dropped. |
  |
| decent first episode imo. i prefer the first season tho. but overall, i think it was okay. i will continue watching it but i hope it's getting interesting xD looking foward to the next episode. wait.... not fucking cg again... moreover they done it in a very ugly way WTF "looking foward" my ass |
 |
| so this is back but it's a spin off i see still the CGI is bad |
 |
| it was ok. Pacing wasn't too good. A bit rushed, they also never explained how she passed her exam. Maybe they'll explain it in the future. |
 |
| Okay, so they all magical girls. And furries... and planes... We've gone a little deep haven't we? Well, it's better than I expected it to be at the least. But god dang it, I hate it when siblings are compared, it always sucks. Also, I'll never understand how a freaking 15 year old girl (or however old she is, can't be that old though), joining the military with a high possibility of death is such a wonderful thing. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Abandon all logic and throw in more MOE clichés. I could not get into this. I kept thinking: "If those leg propellers hit each other, they are dead! If they close their legs, they are dead! What moron designed those?" |
| Pretty fun, just like the other one. Will probably enjoy. |
 |

If they close their legs, they are dead! What moron designed those?" I kept thinking this during Strike Witches till I eventually realised that the propellors are magical, not metal. If you look, you'll see they're only there when the strike units are powered up so they must be a magical effect. |

| Witches with propeller leggings... now I've seen everything. They even have those fucking animal ear things. I haven't seen Strike Witches but if I "need" to see it first before I can remotely appreciate this then I'll have to drop this/put it on hold until I finish the first one. |
| 臭い- |
| The fight was pretty good. But the end was pretty generic and kind of expected. Well not that I came in with high expectation for the plot :/ |
|
| It was nice seeing Mio, even in the newspaper... |
 |
| Now this is how you do a first episode. I wonder ho many callbacks will we get. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| I will miss Strike Witches :( For a first episode, it isn't bad. Characters are cute. I just thought the big sister should be worried for Hikari. At the end when she's informed she is deployed to Europe, her big sister is really happy for her. In my mind I just thought "You passed ! You can go to Europe to die easily !" x) I hope we will have several appearances of previous serie's character. I mean real appearance and not in newspaper or something like that. |
| Lel none of the Witches wear pants at any time! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Pretty lovely first episode I must say, quite lovely that the environment almost stayed the same! Well I'm definitely looking forward to see what this side story has to offer! |
 |
| Little Karibuchi is instantly likable and sympathetic. Already like her more than Miyafuji. |
| The beginning is not different from Strike Witches, in some ways the character of the protagonist is different (not even so different from that of the character of Yoshika) and the motivations that induce the characters to certain paths of life: here the protagonist Hikari wants to be a Witches, she is not nearly forced to do it as happens to Yoshika. The quality of the backgrounds is excellent, but the CG looks almost like the one seen in "Strike Witches". The aerial combat of the 502 th is lower than that of the 501 th at the beginning of the episode. The opening is as customizable as the opening of SW, the ending is better, as was the case with the SW ending. Overall, the episode is pleasant to watch. |
 |
| So we got a new cast of characters in the same setting. Looks quite similar to season 1 of Strike Witches so far. |
| Okay, finally i had a spare time watching this one. As i thought, this was Strike Witches afterall. Hikari seems a bit energic than Miyafuji with a lot of the same psychology behind those two girls. While at my shock she had no unique ability as a witch at all. Instead, they changed her ability into 'a never tired' element that required her a non stop energy as her strength, better than any teens at her age rate. Well, everyone had their own weaknessess and strength, not differ to that little girl. So, yeah, as an introduction, it was fine, no big thing happened, but its still enjoyable for me. I am still couldn't hold her image as a sole MC, rather than always connecting her to Miyafuji. Well, in a matter of time, i might be getting impressed by her in an independent view, sooner or later.... The story pacing seemed a bit fast, as they took the whole test and they took the result in one episode. Well, well, i can't say much when these series only had 12 episodes length of duration to concluded everything. The drama of these episode felt a bit forced required a girl that felt bland, because her contribution only happened on these episode alone. Gladly it won't last long and decided to move on, because its really not good at all. Thankfully the Karibuchi's sisterhood was so strong and adorable with a lot of nice interaction, and i just hope there was no heavy drama involved behind their relations. The fanservices of them at the bath was okay, while i think it had a potential to be better. Well, lets see the next one, then. I still don't know with the other witches, so its really a good direction to move on to another scenes.... |

| Very nice OP. Well, it was a good first episode. I don't have anything complain about. I really the animation. |

| It seems that director might be thinking something about Hikari.. Or maybe not.. Who knows.. Well.. Having sister near.. Can be both a good support for each other.. But also can be potential for tragedy.. So far I like Hikari.. She is very energetic.. But she isn't annoying.. She's just trying her best.. |
