I'm starting to think to we're getting encore performances like this every episode. Cute chereogaphy for sure and everyone got their spotlight as a group.

Individually, it's kinda hard to tell who shines the most though.

It's amusing how Mana wanted to do everything by herself. I like her energetic personality. :)

Those familiars are just so cute.

I loved that dance scene and those beautiful outfits.

They had some troubles with the equipment, but the performance was a great success after all. Also, Sylvia did a good job with the outfits.

The first concert seems the have gone pretty well even if they had some small issues with rain and equipment.
Now the question is how will the rest of their performances go.
It was also nice to see the girls working hard to get to the point of a concert even helping with building the stage.

How Milasha fantasized over Aila in her profile was pretty amusing to watch.
Their first concert was pretty nice, even though there were some issues with it.
They got their name, uniform, and the first song. The world tour is waiting for you.

I like Mana spirit.

Ellie looks like another person when dressed up.

A idol concert with airshow, and a nice sunset . Is this perfection?

I wonder about the World Tour, depending how world will be Jo wont be amused.

Next week, Silvie episode. Yay!

Another cute episode!

Nice to see what strength each girl has and what they bring to the unit. Jo can sew, Inori plays piano, Milasha can write lyrics (also she’s like the worlds biggest Aira fangirl, I mean that diary entry? Hilarious), Ginny can speak Mana, and Mana has like unlimited energy lol. I think Mana might be my favorite character so far. Ginny is great too and all the girls are very cute, but Mana is best girl!

Seeing everyone perform at the end officially as the “Luminous Witches” was pretty cute. The music in this show makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside lol.

The shift to CGI was jarring but aside from that, the choreography was good and the aerial choreography was even better. Good enough that they can now go on a World Tour. Hope we see some more of that aerial dance.

I'm quickly warming up to Mana more than the others. Her personality reminds me of Francesca Lucchini from the OG Strike Witches and she's one of my overall favourites witches from the entire franchise, so I wouldn't be surprised if Mana becomes my favourite here as well. =)

The group got to grounds in their preparations for the first concert being held in the village. The rain thankfully cleared up, which gave way for a nice sunset backdrop for the girls to perform to their hearts content. When it came to the big song, the musical equipment was broken due to the tent's roof leaking over it, but the girls didn't falter once they started to sing.

The transition to CGI wasn't the smoothest, but the dance itself in CGI was decent, helped by the consistently good choreography, which got even better when the girls took to the sky with their striker units. It were here where they spotted the kids holding up their signs saying "Luminous" and the witches all decided to call them the Luminous Witches from here on out.

Overall, this was a nice episode and the songs played throughout was really good, too.

funny when on the previous day they're motivated, then demoralized on the next. Girls can have a change of mood quickly? lol

anyway, Milasha is good at writing lyrics.

also nice to see Aira is more relaxed now. She now allows holding hands with people who have trouble flying.

enjoyed the performance! It's the first time for me to see idols perform, and it also looks like an air show! I guess this is idol activities Strike Witches style.

looking forward for more next week. :)

Hmmmm Silvie is clearly came from rich family (Like in the last episode where she thinks the mansion is small) so I hope we get background stories for each characters.


And It's clear that all of Shaft's budget/manpower went into RWBY, this show doesn't even feel like it's being made by Shaft and I don't know why Shaft would want to work on this project, I just hope they prepared something twisty in future episodes. The songs are nice though.

The 1st concert went good I would say even though they had some complications that they managed to clear even though the electronic devices got destroyed but well

A great first presentation for this squadron of witches, they made their preparations for the big moment, although there was a problem with the music, but they were able to fix it and the people loved it, so they will be saving their hearts then.

forgot to say on previous post... the name of their unit is too long. Luminous Witches is a much better name for them.

and I just realized these girls have very good eyesight.. they can see those letters the kids are holding even while flying high in the air.

This was such a cute episode! I really love their concept as idols, they bring happiness and calm in a world like theirs where everyone is always afraid of getting attacked. It's a really sweet concept!

Everyone looks so happy and having lots of fun doing Idol activities.

It's so nice to see Witches not being used just a weapons.

___ ___ ___

Huh... Mana is one active girl... she wants to do everything, LOL

And they had everyone helping out in making the stages, including the villagers.

And they rented and pre-recorded instrumental performance, lol. (cause the girls themselves apparently doesn't play instruments themselves, since they're doing Idol activities and not Band activities)


Too bad... somehow they left the equipment in a tend OUTSIDE DURING THE FRIKING RAIN... who does that?

___ ___ ___


I guess their military flight training wasn't wasted.

Being witches, they incorporated the performance with flying, which no other regular Idols can do. So this makes the Witch Idols very unique.

And looks like they're being given permission to go on the world tour. (with the name Luminous Witches given by the villagers)

___ ___ ___

Also, some ppls mentioned about the CGI.

Well, instead of CGI we get still shots. This was one of the reason why smaller studios uses CGI, cause while it tends to have a lower quality, it provides full animation at around the same cost of making high quality still shots.

(such as the starting performance they used high quality wallpaper worthy still shots, but for the dancing, they used CGI for full animation and some non-CGI in between)

There are pros and cons to CGI, it depends on what ppls feel. (but CGI has come a long way, and most CGI are the same high quality they used in games and is very smooth and doesn't have a much of a "plastic" feel as in early CGIs)

Well, even if at first many of them weren't confident in their abilities.. In the end they actually were quite active in creating their parts.. Maybe even somewhat excited at times.. ;P
What feelings connect you, hm.. Interesting perspective.. For creation..
World tour, huh..
