Welp, we got some minor drama in the band itself. I guess not everyone can always agree with each other sometimes.

Greece is interesting place for this episode's setting though. Mana is also such a sweet character even if she is a bit wild at times.

Mana is such a cutie pie. :3 She's really like Francesca's lost sister, haha.

Well, I'm glad they made up.

I absolutely loved the scene where Mana and Maria flew together. <3 It's now one of my favorite moments in this whole franchise.

Honestly Mana and Maria area nice combo with their personalities being pretty much opposites of each other.
Maria worrying about Mana's feelings while Mana didn't seem to care much after she did some venting, well things worked out eventually which was nice to see.
And they have some new moves for their shows.

It's a kind of Theoretical Knowledge Vs Practical Application.
Maria is a theoretical type and Mana is a practical type. In the end, they can mix these two things together and can perform wonderful new moves.

Maria is Barkhorn and Hartmann mixed in one character with lack of flying talent.

Mana's shield is simple but is cool still.

Mana carrying Maria like you carry some small animal was cute.

Sweet duet memories.

Mana with her giant yellow shield! She’s way too free spirited and carefree lol. I like how Maria is going drill instructor mode and is having such a tough time managing the team. Her little familiar imitating her lecturing everyone was adorable!

The stress of Mana and Maria fighting caused the little Kiwi to balloon. The familiars must be really connected to the girls. Didn’t expect Maria with her “Mana! Respect my authority!” Lol. Mana was so upset she only ate one meal!

I was wondering why Maria was so hesitant to talk about flying. I forgot she had difficulty with it. But looks like it might have just been in her head. Seeing her and Mana flying together was so cute! I’m glad our little Kiwi goofball was able to help her out of her funk.

I really liked the end there with Aira struggling with the shield, it was pretty funny. “What does it mean to feel like a wave!” Haha.

Maria and Mana's drama time in Greece the previous episode was better in my opinion compared to the development of this one but it was still pretty good now that the world tour has started

It is no more dramatic than any of the previous World Witches anime (besides that comedic chibi series). I do not want it to turn into generic idol show. But I'm sure there will be more performances.

This show is indeed not ecchi, but cute Mana is trying her best to provide some good stuff.

The ass-shots in question

enjoyed watching this one. Must be really frustrating to be able to draw amazing air show plans.. but not having the physical ability to do them. Glad that Mana is able to show that Maria can still perform the difficult parts with enough effort.

btw, that use of rank by Maria during the argument is annoying, but sort of forgiveable after she admitted in front of everyone that she's a coward.

looking forward to their next performance. :)
this show is becoming one of my favorites this season.

I think this episode has reaffirmed Mana as my favourite girl in this series so far and I enjoyed the chemistry she and Maria had. The contrast between Maria's plans by theory and words and Mana's preference of learning better by practical application was very interesting.

Thankfully, these two can work together with their individual strengths and in the end, made a nice example for all of the others to see. Their smiles to each other during their flight was really sweet, I must say. =D

I do look forward to seeing the group using the new coloured shields and techniques in their upcoming performances, which I hope won't be a long wait for it this time.

Man, Maria's seiyuu got a 100 from me, her cry is realistic as it could get, quite emotional too.

And finally this episode have some Shaft moments in it, the proper face closeup, the sunset lightning, the one frame of colorful manga tones, the head-tilt and the cartoony animation when Mana dragged Maria outside of the room because the previous ones didn't even have one and the quality kinda sky rocketed especially when Maria went into despair in her room.

I'm honestly enjoying this show.

There's an Erwin Rommel reference during the time where Mana gives Maria back her papers.

It is an in-universe reference since Erwin Rommel did canonically appear in Operation Victory Arrow.

The real guy was very anti-Hitler and was very againts his ideals btw. So no Neo-Nazism shite here.

Squirrel & kiwi background antics so charming. Maria such perfectionist hitting burnout, while handicapped by her flying stamina. They showed her struggles really well.
Mana's amazingly supportive, nice to have the pair reconcile with a crazy flight.
lol Eleonore side headbutt Aira.

Oh, we finally get shots of some bloomers, or leotard, or panties, or something like this.. Now it's complete Witches series.. ;P
Well.. Mana and Maria are certainly opposites with how much energy they have..
