Best episode so far. I really enjoyed this one and Trude pretty much rocks. Probably cos we're from the same country lol.

Next episode is already the obligatory beach episode it seems. xD

Looks like next episode's going to crack a lot of flat-chested jokes. :D

The drama bordered between cheesy and heartwarming in this episode, though, the turnout was good. It's nice to see everyone become friends. :P

Damnit! Don't die without my permission!

I agreed with everyone here that this episode was good emotionally and damn right it's good Miyafuji is getting new friends like Barkhorn (which is good considering how strong she is) in this episode. That damn piece of **** neuroi was again so different made me think of a certain robot invader from Evangelion. The next episode is yeah some beach parody but I wonder if this one might get ruined by Neuroi??? Hmmmmmm that would be cool, beach then major battle! The echi stuff will be something with Lynnette and the Major considering they have large...you know. However if you noticed there is censoring like in the bath so I think it's not all that bad. Hmmmm I wonder though like Kanokon, will there be a uncensored DVD version. Guess we'll all find out after the series ends. The lesson from this: MIGHT MAY LEAD TO HASTE THROUGH OVER CONFIDENCE, THUS IT IS WISER TO CALM DOWN, REFLECT AND REASSESS ONESELF TO FIGHT PROPERLY. Like was the case when Barkhorn got injured and recovered. Just some philosophizing and yes I am good in the subject in real life :P

So, intro and "befriending" episode for Barkhorn and arguably for Hartmann and Clostermann too.
Since next episode will be the same for Lucchini and Yeager, i hope they only do one more for Juutilainen and Litvyak and quickly start with the episodes unrelated to the internal affairs of the 501st, since it's only a 12 ep series.

Only 12 episodes? That's disappointing. =(

Anyway, great episode.

Srsly, my heart broke when I saw that. :( Well, kinda expecting it frankly~

I'm just happy to see more Lynne, Miyafuji finally put a use to her power in battlefield, and Perrine's jealousy was amusing. I want moar Sky Witches!

As much as I like this series, I do have one question: (someone may have mentioned this before) If they get paid so much, can't they afford a pair of pants? XD

*sad about 12 episodes also ;_;*

In their time period it's a law that women cant wear pants lol j/k. You bring up a good point though. One thing I've noticed is girls wear pants at the wrong times. For example the 2nd ep where the two girls are sun bathing and one has shorts on over her bathing suit lol.

Best episode so far.

1/3 of the way through the show, and most of the characters are still unknown... this really should be a 24 ep series.

Definitely my favorite episode so far. Even though there's fanservice galore in Strike Witches, they still spend time with an actual story. I give GONZO props. ^^

Ah, I see I forgot to comment on this episode back when I watched it.
This is one where you've got a major injury and stuff right?

Well, it gave Miyafuji a chance to shine.
I guess we'll never see her doing great offensive huh.:/

Well, it was an interesting little tragic backstory.

Old avatar and sig retired for now.

Good Episode.
I love Trude now for some reason o.0

Okay, now I forgive Perrine, just a little bit, for saying thanks to Yoshika.
But i still hate Perrine though! >_>;

Yes, but that's why I started it too, then discovered it has plot too, seeming more so than Kiss x Sis! And action. And that huge 50cal anti-tank rifle.

I love that thing.

That sure was an interesting episode! Those enemies vehicles are rather interesting I wonder when we'll get some backstory on them. The little backstory we got on Gertrud was nice but well there's always room for more backstory imo!

Lets see what's next!

I don't really know why they're focusing a bit to much around nudity in this series, the story is strong enough to do it without it, although I don't mind ecchi at all for some reason it's starting to bother me with this series. Even though the fanservice of this episode wasn't bad at all!

Great episode imo, A lot of scenes involving Trude and her past about Chris. A family really is something for her :D.

I LOL when Perrine is like a comic relief person in this episode XD.

One of the things they have in common this season and that of the Brave Witches, is the direct manner in which we deal with situations during the narration, there is no beating about the bush; it is so clear and clear in intent, it is hard not to understand it. Very fanservice once again, I did not remember well, quite different from the fourth season. The element that dominates the story unequivocally, is friendship. Much more convincing the previous episode, in which Lynette and Miyafuji do a nice job of team and action, it is much more rational.

Good character development. I feel like they are really starting to "flesh out" the character...<chuckle>

I'm watching the anime without censorship, and HD. When they are in the bathroom, I can not see them quiet knowing they are girls (lolis)
The question isn't "What anime do you like?" That is merely a list.

The narrative of this episode focuses on the characters, on the protagonist and her interaction with the group, again. After Lynne, Yoshika is faced with a more difficult situation, being accepted not by one person, but by the group; this slows the progress of the plot, but it has a relapse on the not indifferent story, because even an aspect like this, makes an anime intriguing or not, in addition to the real story. In the meantime some lessons of military technique are not lacking, how to say, to unite the ultra with profit. Drawings, characters and animations, more than good. The new ending is also catchy.

Ah right, its a Barkhorn time and a minor side effect of the synchronization for a jealousy france girl, Perrine. So, thats why Barkhorn caught off gettin too often watched Miyafuji's back. Her reason kinda sad, its always be that. Its about her little sister, that somehow looks alike Miyafuji, got affected by Neuroi's attack on the past, and already under closed surveillance in an intensives care unit to cure her commatose. Oh, well. Such a poor girl, that must be hard for her, to face something horrible like that, and currently i am pretty much understood her behaviour. Respected.

A certain event from a sudden attack of Neuroi's, actually realized her about her mistake. That she already had another family to cared off in the Strikes Witches. So, she didn't even needed to waste her life and rejected her own safety. Because, someone or everyone won't let that shit happening. By the way, nice slap Minna! So, yeah, its nice to see them at last, in a good terms after such a long time in a cold state. Yes, both of you, Miyafuji and Barkhorn. And more importantly, as the result of that event, its created another good side of Perrine's to Miyafuji. Hah, girl, it wasn't hard to apologized and be thanked!

These episode fanservices time was ridiculous. I can't believed if the next one was the fanservices time too. So, yeah, lemme enjoyed them!

i actually enjoyed this 1 !!! but the whole “i need to protect ppl i have never met or formed an emotional connection with or my self esteem plummets tenfold” shtick is getting a bit annoying -__- it’s the main drive of the plot so i guess it’s something that i need to learn to tolerate if i’m going to finish the series without having a migraine

Well, maybe at least after this help in healing Gertrud/Trude by Yoshika - maybe at least now Perrine will actually be respectful to her.. Because jeez..
Next episode - fanservice episode already?.. Well, I guess, why not.. ;P And.. Well, isn't this anime fanservice anyway.. ;D

So far like how the series has dedicated the last two episodes to one of the girls from the 501 squad. Their backstories and development are pretty self contained into one episode but rather effective despite the short run time.

Trude's backstory was touching. It's nice that she took a vacation and decided to visit her sister.

Perrine being jealous of Mio is so amusing.

Also, all that fanservice in this so is so nice. :)
