Well, every city in this show has its own history in some ways. And apparently, not every one of them has a happy one.

Glad to still see everyone pulling together and perform an aerial show like usual.

Great episode as usual. I already missed this show.

Cute kitty. =^_^=

It was awesome to see Eila, Sanya, and Yoshika again. What a nice surprise. :)

The last scene with the girls and their familiars sleeping together was heartwarming. Sleep well, sweethearts. <3

Well it seems we had some other witches this time which was great to see and Sanya's parents which was also nice.
Great that they could help Moffee with it's health.
And there was some nice piano play as well it's good to see things worked out for all of them.

OHHHHHH Sanya, Eila, and Miyafuji!!! That was nostalgia. It was great to see Sanya's parents.

Looking at them!

You finally realize how times have change when, in the sauna scene the cast is using swimsuits.

So this connects to the episode 6 of the first season of SW.

Volodya got at least 20 years younger without that beard.

Ginny now can transmit, is kinda bad, now the air force may want her.

Seeing that the ED map got wider, I hope by the end, we will have a full world map of the World Witches universe.

I was worried they went up flying to sing when there's a Neuroi up in the sky as well. The music band are all unarmed. Glad things went well.

also nice to see Sanya again.

this show is one of my favorites this season.

looking forward to next week. :)

My god the continuity when I read the synopsis earlier this week about them going to Orussia, I just KNEW they would connect it to Sanya & Elia but I wasn't sure how they'd do it (because at this point they are in Gallia with the 501st I believe) but where there is a will there is a way and to boot it being on the same day irl nearly thats crazy. Sanya is mah gurl all this time and this was just such a nice piece of fan service I nearly teared up.

I'm guessing for Hanna-Justina Wallia Rosalind Sieglinde Marseille she is either in North Africa or still in Karlsland at this point? I think she was a big name during that time as she appears in Season 2 with already a big reputation.

We also see the 503 (Typhon Witches)...my optimist self wants this to be the next adaptation but I doubt it.

Sanyas parents appearing was surprising (and I always though she only had a father). And yes, they were not nude in the banya because "idol show cannot have fanservice". BUt overall it was still great. We even got a bit of Neuroi action.

Also, pretty funny that same as Extreme hearts it has very little actual idol staff or performances.

This anime is underrated and it clearly exceeded my expectations.

I really like it how they connected the familiar concept because familiars didn't exists in previous Witches animes although I'm still curious what would happen with the familiars when Witches lost their power (Because Grace seems can't see the familiars and it looks like she lost her power 100%) but on the other hand, Miyafuji's Mom and Grandma still has healing power and the Old Witch from SW S2 is still able to fly.

There are a lot more to the Witches franchise that are yet to be discovered.

And as a big fan of World Witches, I'm hyped to see what kind of future this franchise has, which squad that'll get an anime etc.

I loved how they linked the father - mother story to the original Strike Witches since the daughter turns out to be Sanya (well they were hints through the episodes but the appearance was definitely great). Clever and heartwarming episode!

Nice to see more of the world of Strike Witches, and the Neuroi which I didn't expect to see for real in this anime

Seeing how the series truly branches out to the other seasons, man I really want to watch SW now hehe

Fun episode though, nice to hear more insight into Moffy~

Wow i didn't expect seeing my favorite Witch in this series lol. It was really short, but really happy of having seeing Sanya here!!! Ginny is also becoming one of my favorites, she is really cute... she is really mysterious as well, learning more of her would be nice!

Bro, Marseille is actually desperate to give away those photographs of hers. She just likes to play hard to get.

Nice little cameo from the start! It’s a kinda sorta crossover episode!

Poor Moffy! The girls just land in Orussia and the little critter ain’t feelin too hot. Luckily it was just indigestion lol.

Things seem to be pretty rough in Orussia. The concert should provide some much needed relaxation, though a 5 am radio concert a day before the big show is gonna be tough. Nice that Volodya is gonna play for his daughter. The guy cleans up well!

I love that the girls got all dressed up to psyche themselves up. I guess Mana isn’t a morning person lol. I wasn’t expecting to see Maria be the energetic one this time!

Nice bit of action halfway through. Ginny really saved the girls from the Neuroi! I wasn’t expecting Anna and Volodya’s kid to be Sanya. Nice!

You know, as soon as the father was introduced, all came into place.

1. Sanyas full name is Alexandra Vladimirovna Litvyak. Patronimic Vladimirovna means "daughter of Vladimir" (Volodya is a common diminutive of the name Vladimir used by relatives and friends).
2. The calendar on the wall said Август 1944 (August 1944). Sanya was born in 1930 and was 13 at the start of Strike Witches. And her and Yoshikas birthday is August 18th.
3. The whole thing about him being the former pianist from Moscow and having an on-duty witch as a daughter.

A nice little cameo of the picture of Marseille brought back some memories of her physical appearance in the original Strike Witches anime. =)

It was nice to see how far the Luminous Witches can go to help out as much as they can. Encountering Anna and her husband Volodya when Virginia wanted help for Moffy was well timed. Getting Volodya to play a piano on the early morning broadcast took a bit of convincing, but it worked. Heck, he looked about 20 years younger compared to what he looked like earlier on! XD

The Luminous Witches also went out of their way to help the 503rd Squad when a neuroi came to town and, in a nicely animated sequence, it was deleted with ease. Since I haven't figured it out by when, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Anna and Volodya's daughter is none other than Sanya from the Strike Witches squadron, which made the small cameo of her, Eila and Yoshika even more special. It perfectly ties with S1 EP6 of the original series, too.

The girls did a great job in this episode. We also got a little fanservice of them all in the sauna as well. It won't rival the fanservice scenes from Strike Witches or Brave Witches, but it's still a nice visual treat regardless! =P

I wish I had seen the original Strike Witches to appreciate this call-back. But oh well, cool episode regardless.

I feel like this episode would’ve hit way harder if I had seen strike witches. Sanya popping up didn’t really do anything for me, but the girls working together to call out the neuroi was awesome and the plot line of the spirit watching over sanya’s parents was so sweet.

Hmmmmmm. Nope. They've got Sanya's left leg in her stocking when it should be bare from her striker getting blown off. Cameo ruined. 0/5

A nice episode, in which we have the first animations of some of the 503rd JFW witches, along with a cameo of Sanya, Eila and Yoshika from the 501st... and a shout out to those here who could recall the first season of Strike Witches to link this episode with Ep. 6 of that season. Did not see it until I got to the comments here.
Cannot wait until next week...

forgot to say.. I like the change in Aila. She has become a more gentle person. Before she get angry when the girls hold hand in the air.. now she's more kind, and tell them to hold hand when it's needed.

So that was Sanya's parents. And we get to see her along with the other two from 501st. Glad to see them again.

I think all Luminous Witches should learn to fight Neuroi in case if needed.

503rd wing, huh.. Wonder, if it's tease of potential another main series Witches wing?.. As Strike Witches are 501st, and Brave Witches are 502nd.. Interesting potential tease.. Looks like potentially interesting girls to me..
Also wonder, who is the daughter of Anna and Volodia.. Is it some witch we know or will get to know in the future?.. I wonder..
Well.. Neuroi potentially transmitting their girl's melody?.. That's creepy..
So Sanya, huh..
Great episode.. Almost made me teary.. I enjoy this anime a lot..

Terrible. Witches just become simple "women"

Ursula hartman was an engineer, also there are medic witches, even sonya who is a delicated character can carry a rocket launcher, can "SING" and works as a badass RADAR, also has little personality, but it works, and we are supose to deal with those luminous women doing some "Sakura wars" stuff without WAR on it? Hecking japan, when will you learn the difference between "content" and "quality"?

Why luminous women can't be used in the front? a heavy aircraft full of shields to break into the enemy lines while singing and protecting other units, some badass macross reference but no... let's go full nintendo mode.

"Hey kid, your parents just died in an alien invassion? too bad, here is some idol singing~~"
