Yup, this season's Neouri feels stronger than ever and episode 9 gave us another look at them.

On the other hand, it's so nice to see Minna organize everyone together in the fight and seeing how they are so united.

So Mina is losing her powers like Sakamoto was in the first season, poor girl but that somehow gives me hope that someone else will show up judging the preview we will have to wait and see.

Mina is into self sacrifice from the looks of it hopefully she won't do it when no one is around.
Would hate to see her gone.

Also i really like how they did Patton he is a great character.

Now this was a great episode, how Mina is starting to get old, and losing her power, but will do anything to get to Berlin, even sacraficing herself. Thank god for Trude and Erica. Also thank you Ursula for the epic ending, can't wait for the uncensored version

Mina's time as a witch is almost over, and she showed no hesitation in putting her own life on the line in order to stop the massive Neuroi nest from sending a bombardment of rockets towards Kiel.

She should be proud of herself, though. Despite her weakening powers, she was still able to use the jet unit, made my Ursula, to its full potential, complete the objective AND was rescued by Barkhorn and Erica just in time, too. Mina's too strong to lose to a bunch of death flags, after all! XD

The only downside of the episode is, obviously, the censorship, which is a given since its still airing. It reminds me that I will be re-watching this entire season again when the uncensored episodes come out on Blu-Ray. It still feels weird watching Strike Witches without seeing the girls breasts in full uncensored view, though. =P

Was a pretty good episode but enough with the Yoshika and her powers being sketchy. With only a few episodes left they need to resolve that and quickly.

Ah the good old "buy the BD" scene. lmao what an end to this episode.

Usually I dont question the plot in shows like this but what exactly was their plan?
Take down a single rocket, a single day and get nuked the next? It wasnt planned she would destroy the launchers. Did they plan to stay there till the attack on berlin was done?
If they could get so close they might have just launched a surprise attack on it directly..

Well seems like next week the attack starts for real. Lets see if Yoshika finally stabilizes her powers

PS: I dont want this franchise to end. just 3 more episodes and strike witches will end

Almost at the end I was thinking that the one of the final bosses would be a Neuroi Mina, a lot more assimilated than season 2 Sakamoto.

And Ursula at the end was the audience representative.

Last episodes of SW are always the best, can't wait to see what's gonna happen in this season.

Great episode, great series, I hope we're gonna get another sequel after this.

Personally think this will be the last season of Strike Witches. Series mirrors WW II remember, so taking Berlin probably will be it. Might be a Movie / OVA set in Japan though. And I certainly hope so.

Although might be more with the World Witches. Hopefully they don't just move all the story to the Gacha game. Still, least we'll have the Luminous Witches coming up.

That Kiwi waifu is fantastic.

As for this episode...

Well, look at the avatar. What do you think I thought of it?

So Minna is losing her powers. I hope she doesn't before they can take back Berlin.

We all have to thank Ursula for that ending. XD

Ursula shows up and Mina uses a new type of striker unit that uses special type of fuel that... dissolves clothes. Yup, totally one of Ursula's crazy ideas. XD

much better ep than last ep

also as this series goes on we'll be seeing more and more character lose their powers which is already something im prepared for so this happening ti Minna was expected

but i will say i really hope the characters to replace them will be good just like Shizuka

Near the end, the second-in command of 501th hinted to retire asap. I can't believed with that, but these episode cleared that thing out, sadly. Ah, shit, Mina forcing herself too much these time. That back sound truly beautiful and quite emotional. Its almost took her life. But, nope. Ofc Backhorn and Hartman never let their commander begone like that. They must saved her! Then, its closed with a shameful cloud. And Ursula called that beautiful? Omg that chick, pretty cultured to be honestly. Lol, hope the bd one having a clear view of that little scene. Because i am curious to peek to Ursula xd.

Okay, next!

I would've liked it if we got a little uncensored fanservice with Trude, Erica, and Minna. Oh well :(
Either way, I really liked this episode. I really thought Minna was a goner for a second.

Yeah. There's also the fact that Minna and Barkhorn will be losing their powers eventually. So I don't know how long they plan on dragging out the series. They could of course get new members to take their place like they did with Shizuka for Sakamoto. But the team relationship just wouldn't feel the same.

Minna is losing her powers. Well, she'll be 20 soon, so it's only a logical thing to happen.

I liked that emotional insert song.

Thank goodness Trud and Hartmann are there to save Mina's butt in the end. She promise they'll go to a cafe together then later triggering a death flag then tries to sacrifice herself at the end. Good thing they defeated the flag.

Then Ursula giving us a nice fanservice at the end was a nice touch.

Those tiger tanks are so sexy.

Ah, the ME-163 Komet. The last time I flew one was back in IL-2 1946. Very interesting aircraft. You have no choice but to eject in most sorties. lol

If Minna died during this sortie, this season would've gotten an 8 from me minimum. It's not like I hate Minna or anything(she's waifu tier!). I like tragedy in my show, especially for highly dangerous situations like this.

Me halfway through the episode: Please let someone get doused by that clothing melting fuel. Cha-ching, wish granted! This is what dreams are made of.

Though this season has generally been lacking in the raw ecchi from its prequels, it's been making up for it with really solid action. Though hopefully there's at least one iconic open air bath scene in episode 11.
