THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was fun, we got introduction of the main characters and the Strike Witches of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing. There's some fan service (hello baths) and I do expect pacing to pick up from here. Hikari is cute, I like her already. The battle designs looks fine for this as well. Decent start. |

Not saying the brave witches is bad, but I prefer the strike witches more. I didn't feel the charm I felt watching the strike witches long ago when I'm watching the brave witches now, something is lacking or maybe its because the whole team havn't been introduce yet. Just to say In the end I still like all the witches series. I thought that there won't be any mention of the strike witches 501, Sakamoto and a glimpse of Miyafuji on the newspaper good enough:) I really miss them. Hikari seems to have the same element like Miyafuji, never give up/work hard and the miracle will happen. So I can't wait to see Hikari's relationship with other team member and what miracle she will bring at the end. |

This was rather bad, imo, and I'm saying this as someone who enjoyed Strike Witches a lot. The animations sucked, the CGI sucked and that drama between Misumi and main girl was crappy. Hope the other girls to come can save this series. The last strike witches thing I saw were the OVAs, and they were miles ahead in terms of enjoyment than this. |

I so looked forward to this but I didn't like this episode at all since Hikari is basically Yoshika with a different design (and instead of being a mary sue she is a failure). I hope she won't ruin this series like Yoshika did with the 501st. |

They are back !!! well almost, was little confused at first but got introduction of a new MC and her bigsis and some other characters, and did see some familiar faces during the opening and ending?? or is it just me.. all thou i like the OST and really felt like watching strike witches again! :3 right rhythm! Seems i will enjoy another Season with Strike(Brave) Witches again! valvravetruth said: I though so to ? hoping for the strike Witches 501 at the end of the serie :3 and i kind like that Hikari have the same element like Miyafuji, only problem i hade was that i started mixing them two up. lolI thought that there won't be any mention of the strike witches 501, Sakamoto and a glimpse of Miyafuji on the newspaper good enough:) I really miss them.

Thought watching this subbed would alienate me, but not so. Like everything before it, its okay. Despite an asinine premise, it's got heart, though the fanservice moments drag it down by quite a lot. Strike Witches has been like this since 2007 and it hasn't even remotely changed much over the course of 9 years. |

It was a nice introduction, but the flight scenes were disappointing... CG made the whole thing look bad, and they missed tons of opportunities of good old-fashioned strike witches signature crotch shots. It's disappointing that a 2008 anime had better animation, i expected better from Silver Link.

That's like saying that Gurren Lagann would be better without mechas, or that the romance in Dragonball is dragged down by too many fights. |

Do I need to watch Strike Witches in order to understand this? |

@rautes I doubt you need to have SW watched to enjoy the show (Strike Witches has never been story heavy). However, watching it may help because references are bound to happen (the first ep has at least one). It was fun to watch (on the other hand, anything remotely associated with aviation gets +10 from me, so I might be slightly biased here). While watching this ep. I couldn't help but constantly ask myself "Ok, Takami, so when are you planning to get yourself killed?" She has such a big death flag wrapped around her, that she should not be able to take off due to it's weight and size. |

mrmuk said: This was rather bad, imo, and I'm saying this as someone who enjoyed Strike Witches a lot. The animations sucked, the CGI sucked and that drama between Misumi and main girl was crappy. Yeah... Not impressed yet. I also LOVED Strike Witches, one of the reason was that I loved the interratcion between the characters (such as Sanya and Eila, Erica and Barkhorn or Charlotte and Lucchini), and I am NOT impressed so far on that regard in this episode. Like you said, the ''hate'' between Misumi and Hikari (or was it Hibari, I forgot) was VERY forced, and probably meant to reminisce of Miyafuji and Perrine, wich was a bit more believable, because we've seen actual reasons for Perrine to not like Miyafuji (the whole thing with Mio), but here it's just ''eh. u sux, k thx bye'' for no apparent reason other than What's-her-face sister is a celebrity and it didn't lead to anything (yet, hopefuly this will somehow turns into something, but I kind of doubt). At least the soundtrack what was I expected, it sounds like Strike Witches. Didn't exactly listened to the OP and ED, so I can't tell, but they sound like they won't be my type ._. As for the animation, I taught it was okay, I don't really mind animations/graphics usualy. This didn't feel that bad, and I honestly taught it looked a tiny bit better than SW. Just a bit. Overall, it wasn't all that bad for a 1st episode, but I'm waiting on more to get a more solid opinion, like I said, so far, not that into it. Then again, I only really went into SW after a couple episodes, when the rest of the cast got involved. Hopefuly it will be the same. Also, loved the Mio cameo in the newspaper, but I'm confused, this is in 1939, so why is Miyafuji there with Mio in the picture? I don't remember the date Strike Witches happen, but I'm pretty sure this was AFTER 1939? Someone knows more about this? Mio looked younger (I think?) so it make sense, since I think it was mentionned she was pretty well known for being one of the best soldier at a young age, but yeah, Miyafuji doesn't fit in the equation. |

That's like saying that Gurren Lagann would be better without mechas, or that the romance in Dragonball is dragged down by too many fights. The thing is though is that I generally don't like the typical examples of "ecchi" in anime, and thus I tend to rate series focused on it lower than most others. Strike Witches has positive elements besides the fanservice, such as the story being pretty decent, and of course its heartfelt moments, but still, not being a fan of the type of ecchi Strike Witches provides, it gets a lower score because of it. In other words, it's basically bias. |

Love this. A stronger start than Strike Witches had (I can say with confidence, since I just started Strike Witches last month). And the CG looks the same to me as it did in Strike Witches 2, good in both cases. The zooming into pantsu shots during flying were the only annoying part of the fanservice in Strike Witches, do not want. |

The sister relationship have more potential for the story than miyafuji/dead father relt. at least. Liked for episode one. Strike Witch never be my favorite still. |

Disappointed in the CGI. Doesn't look like any visual improvement despite being several years older, rather it looks degraded. Maybe just because I haven't seen SW2 since it aired. Not really feeling anything for the cast either, this just feels like another rehash series with recycled character archetypes like some idol anime are doing. Hopefully next episode proves me wrong. |

So far it seems So-So least it was more entertaining than S1 E1 of SW, I'll continue to watch it. I'm more sad I won't get to see anymore of my favorite witch from SW though, Hartmann :/ |

The CGI was horrible, but I was impressed at how the anime used it as little as possible. Most shows in similar situations would just go all in on the CGI. There were some very impressive shots that show people at least care about this anime, but there were also multiple points that showed how they're trying to cut corners. It looks like Silver Link isn't going to invest much in this anime. I really like Hikari and I think she'll make a great lead. She isn't a chosen one, and even at her best she is still outdone by her sister. I loved her parents and this entire episode did a good job establishing her as a character. I'm not that excited about Takami, but I get the feeling there are hidden things about her that could make her a really good character. Brave Witches is sticking pretty close to the formula that Strike Witches had, but it looks like the characters will be different enough so it should hopefully be able to stand on its own. |

Oh dang the hype is real. I really love the strike witches universe and have been dying for some more~ The original 2 series had a bit too much time wasted with excessive fanservice when it has so much room for potential. The movie hit the nail on the head and now i'm ready for more! |

There were some points in the episode where I thought to myself 'Would I still be watching this show if it weren't connected to Strike Witches?'. But as the episode went along I did end up getting attached to Hikari and I'm interested in seeing where this is headed. I can't really say much about the show until I've seen all the girls in action, but at this point I'm fairly optimistic. 4/5 I don't think the fanservice drags down the show. But it is definitely not the whole point of the show. I can't say the fanservice in the original series did much for me, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the show. The fanservice in this so far has been a bit of sideboob and a few split second butt shots which is a big step down from the bare boobies and full screen pantsu shots in the original. But at the same time I can't say I enjoy it any less for that. Maybe the creators have come to realise that they don't need to rely on the fanservice as much now that the show has already attracted its own little niche audience of military fetishists. |

(Visit the old broom witch :3) About the power, i think she's more the type who's good at hard things and bad at "easy" things. It seems like she legitimately has weaker magic, but when it comes to aspects that are needing extra stamina, she excels (like when it was raining and she was toughing it out and not even noticing her weighed down clothes). Getting pelted on the face by rain at combat speeds is not fun. A good visit to old Anna's house will always smack a witch into shape (she'd have to meet the 501st crew for that prob though). |

But at the same time I can't say I enjoy it any less for that. Maybe the creators have come to realise that they don't need to rely on the fanservice as much now that the show has already attracted its own little niche audience of military fetishists. The whole premise of the show shows that the main point is fanservice. The way they fight, the way they dress, their animal transformation, the fact that only young teenage girls can become witches... Everything was created from the start with the intention of providing fanservice. And as much as i agree that it would still be enjoyable without fanservice, it would become little more than a CGDCT with military trivia. It's not even that the story is not "story heavy", there was never really any story to begin with. The only time they tried to advance the plot was at the end of season 1, and it was completely thrown away just one episode later in season 2. The main appeals of the show are fanservice, interactions between the girls and to a lesser extent the fight scenes. Sure it could be enjoyable without one of these aspects, but it would not really be Strike Witches. And considering that the original author is dead, it's even less likely that they will change the spirit of his series. They will more likely try to show that they are as close to the original series as possible. Which is why they made sure to show crotch shots in the PV and an bath scene within the first episode. As for the creators realizing that they don't need fan service, i don't think that's true. Fan service might not be completely needed for enjoyment of the already interested niche audience, but it's in the DNA of the series and it will be needed for blu-ray sales. Even Girls Und Panzer, which had no fan service at all, had a swimsuit OVA release to guarantee BD sales. katsu044 said: whenever i see these characters i always gotta ask why you got no pants girl?! i know they exist one of the instructors were wearing them! that and the ear/tail transfomtion triggers me If i remember correctly, the in-universe explanation is that the use of strike units requires close skin contact, therefore no pants, and for the rest of the female population, it's a fashion that started out of admiration for witches. Also, in-universe their "panties" are not considered underwear, but regular clothes (which is not that unbelievable, in the west you see girls wearing shorts that are shorter than panties, yet it's seen as normal). But the real explanation is the same as ear/tail transformation: fan service. If fanservice triggers you, you're not going to enjoy this anime. |

About why they wear only pants, just like one member aobve already answer you(exposure to magic and fan service at the same time). And of course they can't cover their legs when they are wearing the 'strike units' to battle. Just like in the old series, you can use magic even after you are old and ear/tail will still come out. But they are unable to ride 'strike units' anymore due to old people's magic weaken, which also weaken their magic shield against Neuroi lasers.

Narratively there's a kind of déjà vu with the beginning of Strike Witches, very sweet and delicate, storytelling, nothing exciting, everything according to the canons of the saga. Drawings and animations, excellent. To evaluate the quality of the sets, and the soundtrack. Happy to see a new season of this show, I appreciated the fact that he made a crossover with Unit 501. |

I wouldn't tell newcomers to add SW to their backlog. They know it's there, if they want to they'll watch it of their own volition. DTUB said: is crossing a river much harder than operating those leg propellers? funny how this anime decided to make the Axis Powers (specifically Nazi Germany) into lightning red space ship aliens hahahaha Yeah, it's harder because the "striker units" (propellers) draw magical energy from them automatically. They were walking on water using magic shields, which they have to create and use manually. And that isn't a way I've seen the shields used before, although I'm only halfway through SW2 right now. The aliens aren't really Nazi Germany, since Germany (Karlsland) is an allied nation in this world and apparently does not have fascist leaders, nor any major problems with racial prejudice etc. Of course in real life people might be saying the Neuroi were summoned by Jewish magic. For example, regarding the 1920 German film The Golem, which is based on Jewish folklore: https://monmouth.edu/the_space_between/articles/ContainingTheMonster2013.pdf The Golem’s destruction, moreover, re-affirms boundaries that keep uncanny Others inside the ghetto walls. As Omer Bartov in The Jew in Cinema argues, the Golem in Wegener’s film underscores the Jew’s “magical and destructive capacities” but “it also represents the Jews’ ability to control the powers of nature ... and to cast over the world the dark shadow of their morbid rights” (3). The Golem, Rabbi Loew, and the Jews of the ghetto stay on the other side of the fourth wall, within the containable limits of the illusion on the film screen. At the same time, the viewing audience of the 1920s outside world sits and watches in the dark, silently accepting popular racialized stereotypes of Europe’s Jews while ignoring the implications of negative typecasting on the many men and women in their midst who have a Jewish heritage. The geography of the war in SW resembles WWII, but I think of it more as a fantasy - "Wouldn't it have been great if no one had imperial ambitions and everyone united against a common enemy?" |

I'd say that this was a good start to Brae Witches, but I can't deny that it had a heavy sense of 'Deja Vu' to the start of Strike Witches though. The only main letdown for me was the use of the CGI. It was used decently at the start to the show, to the same standards as Operation Victory Arrow OVA's, but during the Mia/Hikari face off, it was very messy and out of position. At least the 2D animation and overall art quality is pretty good thankfully. =) Another plus point is the small newpaper cameo of Sakamoto and Miyafuji, who was unfortunate to be the corner of the picture. XD Next time, we should see the rest of the Brave Witches and only then should we find out if the story goes along the same path as Strike Witches did, or if it goes down an entirely separate path. |

To those (and there always are some) who don't get why they don't wear trousers or skirts usually (which they do on special occasions), it's because they're impractical for using the Striker Units. The culture of bare legs just becomes normal everywhere because of this factor. rustic_fall said: Did you see any of the vehicles or equipment?The animation is ok but it really pisses my off that the action scenes or in cg that is obvious to see. The story has been predictable and nothing so far makes it seem that the setting is in 1944.

Then maybe you should go watch the old series which include 2 seasons, 3 ovas and 1 movie. yeah i recall hearing something along those lines regarding this series i always found it silly it's not as bad as the whole quiet MGSV thing because at least they don't take it so seriously and are quite clear it's because fanservice, i just thought hey maybe they should wear em when they aren't flying around lol till this day i didn't think they existed in the strike witches universe . who needs pants anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

Guys, come on, don't compare your affinity to a series that already has 2 seasons + 1 movie + 2 OVA with a series that only has 1 episode. You can't love these girls right away obviously. Heck, even Yoshika is so fcking annoying in Season 1, but her comeback in the Movie is so touching. tl;dr Give these girls their chance. They deserve it. |
