Ooh, a mission to draw out a plan to invade Berlin sounds risky.

At the same time, I'm glad to see Barkhorn and Hartmann getting some well deserved screen time. It seems this season's enemies are getting tougher than including the one she had to face this episode. Perhaps there are other Neuri out there that are far more powerful than they could imagine?

Hartman still living in a junkyard, i wonder if she ever encounters vermin in her pile of trash tho if Barkhorn encounters any vermin she will probably start cleaning the place.
Still it was a nice episode and the Neuroi this time looked like a experimental American aircraft, forgot it's name tho.

It's nice to see Miyafuji flying again but now i am looking forward to seeing her and Hatori make some kills together.

The Neuroi this time a difficult opponent, just like the iceberg one. Guess we'll be seeing more of them.

Hartmann got shot down and Barkhorn was committed to taking down the Neuroi. She ended up getting a fine body tho. XD

It was a nice episode about Trude, the way she wants to protect Erica is so sweet. Also it seems that the next episode will be something lighter.

I thought this was a very good episode, very different, an attempt at more drama. Then Trude pulls a handgun out of her ass and I started laughing. Maybe it was magic but how deep did the gun need to be to stay in place while she was flying.

Well that was a strange episode to say the least. The Neuroi are seriously upping their threat. Unfortunately it looks like next weeks episode is going to be a heavily fan service one.

How Barkhorn was able to keep a revolver inside her briefs so easily without any outline showing will be a mystery to me, but I still found it amusing. XD

Still, this episode was pretty epic. The strength of the Neuroi continues to show as this one was able to make Barkhorn and Erica look weak. However, with intensive training and with help from Shirley, Shizuka and Yoshika, Barkhorn was able to get her revenge on the jet fighter Neuroi. Then when another one appeared, Barkhorn finally noticed Erica from the ground, which cleared up the dummy misunderstanding, and she went into full power mode. I love the way she finished off that second Neuroi with the revolver. That's proper badass! =3

The next episode looks to be a fanservice-heavy one, which pleases me, although seeing Francesca with big boobs is something that's going to take me a while to get used to...

Barkhorn was really epic in this episode for sure, pretty serious episode I think, and then the next one seems to be a full ecchi one xD

Barkhorn almost caught fire of how hot-blooded she was in this episode, half of the episode was pure manly tears.

And the revolver was taken from where the winners take out.

I doubt it could top season 2's ep 7, but let's see.
Speaking of keeping the tradition, it's weird to see ep 6 was not a Eila Sanya ep but ep 7 is still the fanservice ep. That said, this episode was epic.

Good to see that they have some cretive action in thjeir sleeve. Ant we were reminded one more time that both Erica and Trude are pretty clever despite all their flaws.

And yeah, to keep the traditions, ep. 7 will be a fanservice filler. Not that I mind.

I was expecting an "Erica doesnt want to wear panties" or "Erica doesnt want to clean her room" episode, not this! Great episode though.

Since this is the second (or third) couple episode, Im expecting Sanya and Eila soon.

I miss Sakamoto though

OMG.. I know this series has lots of fan service with the pantsu and the sports bra... but this episode.. I felt it.

Somehow I felt that they did more art work on Trude and Erica to make them look cuter.

Nice episode that shows different emotions instead of being silly.

Love this episode, particularly the Barkhorn - Hartmann interaction.

An earlier poster brought up the point that this week's Neuroi with the forward swept wings looked like an experimental American aircraft, but couldn't remember the name. Well, that aircraft was the X-29 built by Grumman in the mid-80's. Not the first time that the aircraft's design found it's way into anime, because it also inspired Shoji Kawamori's design for the YF-19 / VF-19 Excalibur variable fighter used in Macross Plus / Macross 7. In fact, the Neuroi looks like the YF-19 / VF-19 with the attached dorsal fold booster. So, does make one wonder if the production crew "borrowed" the design, or if in fact Kawamori himself designed this one. Guess we'll find out when they translate the credits....

This season is disappointing in terms of its Ecchi Scenes, we are in Episode 6 and still no worthy Ecchi scenes, in the other hand in the first season by the end of episode 6 there's a great amount of Ecchi scenes and we got to a lot of Nippels and butts
Well there's still other 6 episodes hoping that they will give us some great Bath Scenes 😌

Never thought they'd give any Strike Witches characters any defined muscle, this episode proved me wrong. Not that I'm complaining or anything.

Liberion is not the fastest anymore...on special cases ripped full lightweight without clothes and only undies and no weapons this kind of specialized configuration Barkhorn is technically the fastest of them all in the mobility department!

That Neuroi showed some resistance in these episode battlfield. But, man, never expect Backhorn could turn out to be so wild and determined like that. She must be really love that chick, can't even accept that death joke. Lol. The plot into that scene was nicely done, reusing some scene from the movie really didn't matter, cause its suits well and beneficial to both of them. Nice execution! The amount of ecchi surprisingly better than i expected, that body muscle. Hell yeah! Sasuga combination of duo german lewd, Backhorn and Hartman. Miyafuji got a nice amount of time too, continuing her success to using her power again from the previous one. Still the next might be better, considering its featured by one of the most cute girl in the franchises, Sanya. I hope its not ruined the fun!

One thing that these episode was forget: whats up with the mission, girls? Well, guess they just finished it off the screen. So, without much shit, its just a nice way to develop those chicks. Kinda sad by looking at the profile card of Backhorn. She just had one more year to be a witch xd.

Ngl I've found this season... kind of boring so far. I told myself if I didn't like this episode, I was probably going to drop it. But wow, what an episode! Absolutely loved every minute of it. Barkhorn is a badass.

Trude was such a badass. Her body looked so great after all that workout.

It's so sweet how much she cares about Erica. :3

lol, Gertrud going super saiyan.. ;D Also was nice to see that Gertrud cares about Erica that much.. ;P Though, their relationship is still strange one for me.. They maybe feel more like sisters to me, than couple.. Well, as they don't do anything couple'y, it feels.. But at the same time they can be homies, which would marry each other, because it's just what homies do.. ;D Or something like that..

I loved seeing Trude working up a lot of sweat. hehe

It's a good thing the Neuroi didn't mass produce those X-29/SU-47 lookalikes. They can't fight against it aside from Trude.
