Brave Witches

Just fuck my franchise up

It's not your franchise.

Given how many shows SL is working on right now it's to be expected.

I totally forgot this existed

Perhaps they finally realised that the CGI in BW is absolutely atrocious.

SL is pretty shit, but the "expected" behavior should be delivering everything on time, not fucking up their schedule due to incompetence.

But at least they're not Actas-tier bad. Maybe they'll even fix the CGI or something.

They are working on four shows at the same time, just be happy that they aren't delaying the episodes to every other week.

Four?
I hope that fix the terrible CG.

Silver Link. needs to be stopped. It's clearly too much for them. They bit off more than they could chew.

They failed to make witches great again.

Anime is kill

Brave witches sucks because the 502nd is shit and boring. They should've just stuck to making more stories of the 501st.

Am I the only person who is enjoying BW? I thought the obelisk climbing episode was actually pretty good.

Well, the alternative would be to get the same shit quality from TV version in the BDs. You want that?

Delay for quality reason is always acceptable, imho.

I really like it. I pretty much enjoy any witches. I also thought that the last episode with Sadako taking out the neuroi with a bow was awesome.

Let's see what SL's cooking besides BW
>Masamune's Revenge
>Prisma Movie
>Anniversary Project
>Chaos;Child
>Stella no Mahou
>Busou Shoujo Machiavelism
>StB OVAs
You BWfags should stop shitting on SL so much and start shitting on the production comittees piling up all this work on them.
Also, be fucking thankful this show hasn't reached 3rei episode 11 levels of QUALITY

Don't worry user, I'm enjoying it too. Looking forward to Sasha's episode this week.

This

wasn't there suppose to be a continuation after the movie?

I really liked last episode too. Because I tend to enjoy episodes where the characters are rendered unable to fight with their usual weapons, and have to use the environment and whatever else they have access to to figure out a non conventional way to deal with the enemy
I enjoy the show in general. The CG's unfortunate but it still beats the show looking like 3rei's 11th episode

>thread complaining about quality and delay
>no one mentions actas
Actas has taken quality and delays to a whole new level this season.

>new level
>implying
It's not a new level when Ufo did it before with God Eater

Yea the 501st was sopposed to be regrouped at the end of the movie with a to be continued, but then we get 502nd nonsense.

It said "To be continued", yes.

God, I fucking hope so, life without witches would be horrible.

Don't worry Strike Witches killed every other studio it touched. It's obviously happening again.

The OVAs were a continuation, though not chronologically.

Not while Big Daddy mushroom is there to protect them because they're the official studio for something Fate related

>he thinks there's a studio with a worse production schedule than actas
Actas has outdone delays from any other studio since GUP.

So what? This actually means they're gonna improve the BD's at some level over TVA by delaying them by entire two months.
You're following the show now and it ends by the last week of this year, and we get the good quality BD's in February and later.

The one week delay was enough to confirm that user, because the models did slightly improve afterwards.

I enjoy it, but it's really meh season so far all in all compared to many other shows I'm enjoying this season, which pains me inside a bit. The production quality is horrendous, even if it's not as bad as Long Riders tier.

No, there never was. You must be new to anime if you don't understand ''To be continued'' phrase. Also this Better learn that Nihongo, BW Prequel manga release two weeks ago and I'm sure they will do more manga and LN's in the future.

Well, you're right.
There's also the fact Actas does it with every new show. GuP, Regalia, LR. They all suffer from massive delays. I seriously think Actas is dying soon. Their image is too damaged.

>There's also the fact Actas does it with every new show
Not to mention the delay and quality is getting worse everytime they fuck up.
I can not imagine anyone who would want to sign a deal with them after this season.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the GuP Final thing ends up going to another studio

It won't. They're bound by contract to do it, in which they get lump of money for doing it. The production on it has already been started, before they even released info about it to public.
However it could get delayed, I think the movie did once at least, memory's a bit foggy.

It's pretty funny how now there are a lot of people wanting the 501st back. Back when the movie was out these threads were full of people wishing they wouldn't make series about them anymore. I personally would realy like to have them back and I bet they will be back at some point.

I just want a manga dealing with Minna's past.

The new Mozu doujin has done a great job in activating my feels.

The problem lies in the production quality and writing. With how things are, it would've been better to just have more of 501st if this is what we're getting now.
It only makes sense opinions have changed since then. Hikari was a big mistake, no matter how lovable she is.

It's like they say "you never know what you have until you lose it"

And why do you assume a show with the 501st would've have had automatically better writing and production than BW? How does changing the characters automatically fix writing and production issues (specially, production issues)

I don't think the writing is any worse than before.

Because the director is fixated on having his OC characters in the spotlight. Having third or rather fourth installment if we count movie for 501st, means deepening bonds and more time on developing stories within the unit instead of having Miyafuji be a fresh start to get acknowledged again with the rest of the witches.
But you're right on that, you can always fuck up writing, there's no guarantee on that. But from a entertainment viewpoint, it would've been far easier and pleasurable for us longtime fans to enjoy more of 501st if this is what they did with 502nd 'adaption'.
As for production quality, yeah it would've had same shit CGI as now unfortunately. Really what I meant better was just in general it would've been better anyway to have now 501st instead of 502nd, quality or not for animation.

>implying they are being forced to accept all those shows at the same time
This isn't the first time a studio picks up too many shows and gets fucked as a result (and surely won't be the last, unfortunately.) They should've known better, but instead they got greedy and took a gamble and this is the result.

SL is lucky there was a new Actas show this season to make everyone else seem better by comparison.

The characters in the 501st are actually way more interesting hence, more chances are writing interesting stories involving their more colorful characters. The 502nd are a bunch of boring shits.

You're wrong too though, 502nd is very interesting if you'd know about them beforehand things or read the twitter story, we just aren't getting into that thanks to the Fuso spotlight focus with Hikari and Takami yet again and leaving actual 502nd witches be a episodic side characters in their own season.

>the director is fixated on having his OC characters in the spotligh
The funny thing is that people complained about this during the first season, the second season and the movie.

They are. Saying no paints a bad image
And BW is still enjoyable as fuck. Stop acting like it's an absolute piece of shit, you overreactive idiots

Brave Witches is okay and I'm watching it each week, but I'm not enjoying it overly much. The problem is that the 502nd witches aren't nearly as interesting or engaging as the Strike Witches were. They needed to spend an episode on each of the Brave Witches, showing off their personality and making us care about them, while using that episode to help Hikari grow.

This is what they did in the first season of Strike Witches - giving us different episodes helping to focus on different characters, and it made the whole team feel much more interesting than they otherwise would have been.

Instead in Brave Witches, each episode has heavily focused on Hikari and they haven't spent anywhere near enough time trying to get a connection between the other 502nd Witches and the viewers.

Yeah, it's rather amusing that all the sudden 501st lovers either love Miyafuji a ton, or forgot that the director literally admitted to that S1-2 and the movie were about Miyafuji and Sakamoto's story arc, and that it concluded with the movie. Which also means very high unlikeliness for continuation to them in animated form.
I like a Miyafuji and a Mio a lot and for the first time it was fun to see their shows, but this is far from what people and I wanted with 502nd now.

>enjoyable as fuck.
The past two episodes have been solid 7/10 while there are far more enjoyable shows this season, this season is really fucking amazing in comparison to past few years in fact. But yeah it's not absolute piece of shit either, but it's undoubtedly bad.

>Saying no paints a bad image
As opposed to saying yes and fucking up? Sure thing, senpai.

That's not my point. Yes the 502nd are interesting, by themselves, but compared to the 501st, they're boring.

That's the real problem.

Even if Hikari was a bad idea, I expected to get an OC so I didn't really care at first. And the while situation was pretty much the same with the 501st and Yoshika, the first season was still a good show.
In BW the first 2 ep were good, ep 3 was great, but after that it's mediocre. The biggest mistake up to now is probably ep 4, where they shouldn't have made an episode focusing on Hikari AGAIN.

Naoe Kanno was the character of 502nd I most wanted to see animated. But she is portayed such a cliché tsundere with no depth and no other traits its infuriating.

Yes thats what im hoping for

Fuck off

I hope thats not all

Shitty directing is expecting your audience to read another medium before watching there show

Actually I'd really like to see Shizuka again.

>Saying no paints a bad image
That's true in every line of business, but sometimes it's unavoidable. How do you think their image is now?
But I doubt they are stupid enough to overwork themselves willingly. I bet it's more a matter of extremely bad management and scheduling.

>And BW is still enjoyable as fuck. Stop acting like it's an absolute piece of shit, you overreactive idiots
Only one person said that in this thread. Other said they wished it was more of the 501st. It's still enjoyable I agree.

>Shitty directing is expecting your audience to read another medium before watching there show
Not him but I think he only said that the 502nd are portrayed as interesting characters in other works. The franchise is more than the anime.
And saying that is not excusing the staff of the BW anime.

its to fix everything and make it better. much better service than just releasing it with some fixes.
