| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Another good episode, with a well-made battle. I would've loved to see Sanya fight in it as well, though. Minna's singing was beautiful, but Sanya playing the piano was wonderful! Probably the best part of this episode, especially in the end with that blush. The episode ended with a little drama as well, I'm looking forward to the next episode~ |
  The end of the episode was surprising. No idea what Minna wants to achieve with pointing a gun at the Major. Episode itself was decent, the feeling of expecting the same enemy in a new form/shape always reminds me of NGE. |

| Good Episode, but at the end... The Very end... Wth? O__O |
 |
| OMG is this going to be dramatic? Nice. I wonder what Minna is going to do. D: Want moar of that. |
| Drama? In my Strike Witches? Lol. Well, I must say, this episode was quite different than what we've seen before, and it looks like the Neuroi aren't the only bad guys. @_@ P.S. Nice screenshot cyruz. P.S.S. It was good to see Erica got her panties back. |

| Totally crazy theory: Maybe Mio's eye is part Neuroi (it always reminded me of them for some reason). She had it uncovered for quite a long time during this episode's battle. And her shield was penetrated by the Neuroi particles. Perhaps she's getting weaker. Minna, in a rather extreme way, may be warning Mio to be careful (or she might as well die now). Maybe Mio could become more vulnerable to a Neuroi take-over of her body. /crazy |
| Amazing episode! Why the hell would Minna not allow Miyafuji to get that letter other than having the rules cause of her own personal past agenda??? Kind of selfish and this not My-Hime Otome so love is not forbidden to my knowledge in this case. Yeah I noticed also the weakness but don't you think it might also be that the Neuroi have developed a new offensive mechanism---->GRENADE FRAGMENTATION! Like a American pineapple grenade it fragments thus causing damage from its particles. That may be just another theory but Mio's eye may be related to Neuroi and thus her weakness in her shield happening may also be another good theory to sounds better. The question is where doe sher eye really come from even if it does come from a Neuroi...which part of it? To this question I say the core may be the hint but that is so then Mio is a attraction to the Neuroi and thus a danger to all. Nice figurine Miyafuji got from Sugita. Could mean she popular in Japan aka Fuso. The enemy also reminded of Evangelion enemy but I liked more the way they showed the battle in the form of a war theater. Very nicely done. Finally I go with the crazy theory guy--->that Minna knows Mio is getting weaker and she does not want her to participate too much in battle because she will die. Should she refuse what Minna said then the gun may be used to kill her on the spot. |

| This EP introduced a bunch of things I didn't expect to see in Strike Witches. Namely plot relevant males and cliffhangers, although the preview shows Sakamoto alive and kicking, but doesn't show Wilcke. If each Neuroi is based off an aircraft/weapon from WWII, I wonder if this episode broke that rule. |
| Very intense episode. From comedic, to fighting suspense, drama, extra bonus singing, and cliffhanger ending! Everybody who rated Strike Witches 7 may now bring it up at least to 8 plz. |

 :O wtf!!!! |

| Nice Ep now What's the reason behind Minna pointing the gun at Mio? Does it have to do with Mio's shield breaking? We'll found out in Ep 9 of Strike Witches! PS I want a Fuzo Doll! PS the song Minna was singing was “Forget You Not” a Japanese version of Lili Marlene, a famous German love song that was popular during on both sides during World War II.

Kikku said: felo said: :O wtf!!!! ZOMGWTFGAH?!?! I am telling you guys this might be a pressure tool for proposals. Most people would take like 100% more serious if you would talk with them and have a gun pointed at them. Other guesses are welcomed but this is what I THINK. |

Soiled said: Well, I got spoiled of the ending so it was that big surprize.. and Mio looks like she's doing fine in next episode... But heck, loved it. Minna is nice character, and was nice to see her more and about her past. Piano and song were lovable. Yeah I agreed with song and piano being harmonious. Did you notice that Minna was dressed in classic style of that era? I swear the dress looked like the ones the girls were wearing when they were singing in the beginning of the movie Pearl Harbor. |

It really fits in with the whole time line, making sure that this is in the WW2 era. |

| hmmm the show was good but i think it was rather simplistic. nothing too extrordiary |

    |
| great episode, really like minna singing. now sakamoto is weakend, wonder what will happen. i kinda see the death flag for her. |
     |
| Finally, some much-needed plot development! |
 |
| This was one of my favorite battle scenes. Very action oriented and you actually got to see some of the witches use powers you ddin't know they had. (^_^) |
 |
| Minna had the right idea. Hetero = HeterNO |

| Minna's singing was the best part of the episode, but the episode as a whole was also good. I'm going to agree with the general thoughts of this thread - this series continues to be better than I expected. I'm going to up my score for it by a point. |

LoveWifeLunch said: Minna had the right idea. Hetero = HeterNO QFT :D |
| Yay, Miyafuji finally getting to do good in a fight again.:D And cute absolutely adorable hetero stuff.:> And more Minna drama.;_; And cliffhanger plot twist ending.o.O This episode has it all. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| beautiful singing but WHAT so she's going to kill her to keep from losing her or ??? that makes no sense :D |
| Nice episode with surprising ending- 5/5. |
    |
| Guys, I'm getting really sick of the Angels in this series. They are an invading army, there is no reason for them to use such retarded and self-defeating tactics. There is no tension whatsoever in these battles, because the angels send 1 unit at a time and it is easily destroyed by the witches. Why even bother? |
 |
| The twist at the end was nice. What's going on? :3 |
 |
| Minna's back story was sad~ ;_; Shit got dramatic after the hilarity of episode 7. Totally wtf'd at the end there. Silly Minna. |
 |
| Maybe the Nazis take over now? I already wondered what happened to the WW2. This is bad. |
| wat Where did that ending come from? |
| Nice! Good bit of character development, but I had to watch the 'next week preview' just to reassure myself! Man, where is this anime going? I like it! |
 |
| The ending just came out of nowhere.......I was like WTF? This anime is starting to confuse me @_@ |
   |
| My thoughts at the end (literal thoughts, not expanded or fleshed out): Mm, right. I know how you feel. So true. Yes. What...?! |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Great episode with some nice action and backstory! The ending was nice but than something unexpected happened so lets see what's next! |

| The ending was okay. I didn't expect the twist. |
 |
| Damn pretty good episode, intense fight scenes, some funny moments, and Minna spotlight throughout the episode. Though TBH I didn't expect that ending of what she is doing... Well, I felt sorry for her when she lost a lover during the war. Added more of her a bit development during those scenes. Nice singing by the way :D. |
| Depending on command structures, it might be a bit unfair against Minna, but still: For the colonel, Yoshika was called to her office, where Minna, Sakamoto and the colonel awaited. He then proceeded to hand over a huge present. Shortly after, an ordinary crew member basically tried to do the same. Obviously Yoshika was not called to the office, and therefore no commanding officer was explicitely attending. Thats okay. But for Minna to personally interfere because of the "rules"? Again: If the colonel commanded Minna to arrange it that way, well, bad luck. If he simply asked if it was possible to thank Yoshika, and Minna was like "sure, no problem, lets make it an official prodecure with the most senior officer in the unit", well, thats enough to question her capability as commanding officer, given that she simply would ignore her own rules to get on the good side of the colonel (Who likely would be a bit disappointed, but understand the situation when explained). Well, long rant for a short scene. Rest of the series was nice so far. |
| I like the way the anime is going now. Suddenly it has a sort of story to go into instead of a typical day hunting down a neuroi. |

D: Want moar of that. its been dramatic for the last few episodes buuut not to that intensity O_O i hop mio know how to spit bullets with her katana XD oh right i forgot this takes place in 1944.... and shes from the german military.... |

| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
| Wow! That cliffhanger was unexpected. |
 |
| Lili Marleen is truly beautiful. That ending was kinda mind blowing, i really don't know what to expect on the next episode. |
