Did I miss the stream again?

My heart skipped a beat.

Yes.

Ep 13 sometime later next year

...

No, they're not. But man, what a ride it has been.

Huh what? Does this mean practically the Eilanya 'OVA' episode we've been waiting for? If so, fuck yes!

I can't believe it finally happened.

>they're not
Watch the episode and you'll see.

My wife is so cute

>You're OK Silver Link
SL. a shit.

Aw, too bad, I thought this shot deserved an OP.
Was too slow again.

It was better than the previous ones, but the CG was still shit all over the place. Also, some transition between CG and 2D were ugly as fuck.

The way they did this season, can not be redeemed by the last episode. Silver Link definitely isn't ok.
However whatever this Eilanya episode will be, I'm gonna judge independently and that might still be QUALITY as well, which I god hope it will not be.

That was already used last week, something better with the whole cast would've made for a good OP but eh, can't have nice things.

It had terrible CG all the way and it's not as good as SW, but I'm still butthurt that Sup Forums shat at it so much. The girls were pretty great and the writing was good too. I had a lot of fun.

...

...

This but it's a shame Nipa and Naoe took so much screen time from the others even though they've been my favorites for years.

Anyone can translate the title? Petersburg something something.

>writing was good too.
You must be joking. I had fun with it, but at the expense of massive disappointments each week as well at what was being shown at us and how everything was dealt with in the production.

...

I feel the same. I don't whether to be happy or angry that my two favorite 502s got so much screen time.

The Great Petersburg Strategy

...

Rall didn't get an episode.

...

The biggest fucking shame is how much Hikari and Takami took screen time from the whole season and other witches, not just Nipa and Naoe.

Interesting title, thanks. Wonder what it'll be about and whether Hikari will continue to revolve around Eilanya in it.

One of the biggest sins of the season.

...

I never joke about writing quality. BW had a lot of good stand alone episodes and Karibuchi's character arc was cool. It was disappointing that most of the other witches didn't get as much development, but that doesn't take away from what we did get.

...

11 had some quite nice shots.

Episode 13: The Grand Petersburg Strategy

This is a story of what happened between Brave Witches 7th and 8th episodes.

December 26th - the day after Saturnalia.
After resupplying the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing, Pilot Officer Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen and Lieutenant Sanya V. Litvyak decide to stay at the Petersburg base on break until the new year.
But, while the two have fun spending time with the members of the 502nd, news of a Neuroi attack comes in.

"Eila-san, you're really fired up!"
"Hikari, this is how you dodge an attack."
"Do you remember the first time we flew through the night sky with Yoshika-chan?"

Now, two original members of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing team up with the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing on a common front and "The Grand Petersburg Strategy" unfolds!!

She had better appear in episode 13

I also liked the idea of Naoe x Hikari, which got teased a bit. A shame that not much followed.

...

...

The writing was good, it's the animation that sunk. Also, Silver Link is a shit studio that didn't pay Victory Arrow's animation director so no wonder no one wanted to work with them. We can only hope they'll change yet again studio for the next instalment.

Let's agree to disagree then, as much there's not really point to it convince otherwise given how much people have been pointing out flaws in the writing weekly. Rall didn't even get her own episode, that alone is fucking terrible writing to me.

Ohh, a tie-in filler episode at the base during last week of the year and a battle together with Eilanya. Can't wait.
But they didn't give any date for the airing whatsoever?

...

...

Why did they make such an adorable character only to discard her after one episode?

>You're OK Silver Link
Yeah, no.

I want to press my face into that mound

>Silver Link is a shit studio that didn't pay Victory Arrow's animation director so no wonder no one wanted to work with them.
Didn't that turn out to be false? It was another one of those things were nips on 2chan or whatever took it out of proportions, when in reality he was just giving a warning of being careful with your contracts or some shit.

I'm sure he was paid in the end, but either way he decided not to work with them again which is a shame. Also, I thinks Sanzigen too had some problems. They have three animation studios and I don't think a single series (Bubuki) was enough for them to turn down the job.

>My wife is so cute
So is mine.

Here's hoping to that HorribleSubs releases subs on time tonight.

>Fuso Sea Incident
Why didn't I read this earlier?

Who knows, read the rest of the translated stuff too, they're all fun. And I mean it.
You bought Fuso Sea mango right? Since as far I know vol. 2 isn't scanned entirely except for few chapters.
Have a rare card of Mio and Junko together in it. It's quite amazing how Mio and Junko were in their loli days and then how they grew up so different.

I've read One-winged Witches and SW 1.5 and a bit of Misfits. Still waiting for Noble Witches. Vol 2 is completely scanned but very poorly.

How odd of you to leave the best thing last if you had read the other stuff earlier.
Oh, it is? Yeap, I can see that.

I wish I could find energy to finish my funfic of Hikari and Krupinski. Maybe if I mention of doing it I will finish it eventually sooner, wanted it to be done for Christmas originally but mwyeh.

>How odd of you to leave the best thing last
I'm glad I did. It has pretty much everything I want from witches. An adaption would be nice.

>don't make a single Rall episode
>make the entire series about stupid Fuso sisters
>Kadokawa just cares about merch sales
>"last" episode is a pander with witches not in the 502nd.
>no Rall episode.

To be honest, they sunk the BD sales with the shitty production when the series was selling better than ever thanks to OVA.

>ep 13

user...

I hate to admit it because I was super hyped for Brave Witches, but it just lacks charm.

I just thought about what made Strike Witches so enjoyable to watch.
It wasn't witches fighting Neuroi.
It wasn't excessive fanservice.
No.
It was Erica teasing Barkhorn.
It was Mio going crazy on alcohol.
It was Lucchini stealing panties and riling everyone up.
It was Perrine getting angry at Yoshika's clumsiness.
It was Yoshika's happy face fondling sleeping Shirley's naked boobs.
It was Eila teasing Perrine.
It was Sanya's song at night.
It was Lynne gaining more confidence.
It was Minna being a gentle and firm mother for her squad.

As much as I like the characters in Brave Witches, their overall interactions felt dull, superficial. They aren't a family like the 501st.

Sunk? Did they? Because as far I know we won't know BD sales till February when the first two volumes are out. Till then it's just memes and speculations.

Read the thread, we're getting episode 13 at some point.

The preorders give us an idea of how well it will sell. If it's true they're going to change much of the CG there could be a boost, but as it stands now it will hardly reach 6k.

Amen.

BD.7

moca-news.net/article/20161229/2016122902130a_/01/

And it all boils down to the writing, 502nd has a lot going for them as a squad but this season didn't manage to bring forth almost any of it in good light properly to make it a memorable and interesting season with lots of fun moments, like the ones you mentioned. How some people don't see and get this, is beyond me.

The Stalker preorders? None of that is worth anything, they were really wrong this season for multiple shows and continue to be, not good indicator of anything whatsoever.

>This episode 13 is scheduled to be released at the theater, and it is included in Blu-ray & DVD Vol. 7.
Huh, a theater release? That hopefully means good quality, it pretty much does sound like ''OVA4'' now to me. And only then on BD later, so with the current dates, that'll be somewhere around summer?

color me surprised, HS is late once again, I'm summoning the Russians...

...

...

Eh, give it some time. The Russians would be at it at their earliest in few hours like the few times previously. For now just gotta hope HS presses the button and uploads before that.

There is only 480p on CR at the moment for some reason.

The preorders are usually wrong for the Animate series aimed at fujoshis who usually don't even preorder.

As for BW sales I'm conflicted, I hope it won't sell well so they'll know the fans won't buy any shit they throw at us, but on the other hand it could also mean they won't animate others JFWs.

even that would be OK as long as I don't have to watch it on CR's website, I am visiting family & the connection here sucks, also the screen on my laptop has low resolution so 720p would be unnecessary anway

Kept you waiting, uh?

>You're OK Silver Link
Hell no. Look at what happened to these poor soldier's helmets.

I want to do lewd things with naoe~

Even though this season was a huge disappointment I still enjoyed every episode.

>How some people don't see and get this, is beyond me.
I don't disagree with anything you said, but I still liked what they gave us instead. Hikari's story was enough to keep me interested and the other witches did a good role as secondary characters. It's by no means a great anime, nor is it nearly as good as SW,
but it's not bad either. I'd give it a 6/10.

I think the only difference is that you had greater expectations than me for the show and therefore you fell more frustrated that it's not a great show.

Seems to be fixed now. Hoping for rips soon.

Is this like a sequel to strike witches? Is it a good /ak/ series or should i not bother with it

6/10 sounds about right for this.
Certainly, there were some expectations in me while I usually try not to have them when watching anything, witches are just too dear to not have them deep down, especially after such fun that were the previous seasons.

It's a spinoff, set in between S1 and 2 of SW seasons, about another squadron 502nd, while the former were about 501st. It's not a good show, but it's not fuck nothing either if you like cute girls, guns and alternative crazy ww2 setting. Just go watch the original stuff first, they're worth it definitely and see if you like em.

>muh family

-Hikari!
-Hikari-chan!
-Hikari-san!
-Hikari!
-Hikari-san!
-Hikari-san!
-Karibuchi-san!
God, I hate when they do that.

>how much people
Really

Posting Raisa because why not.

Just from this scene the average japanese viewer can flawlessly deduce her relationship to everyone.

>Spic subs beat HS to it again this week and for the last time.
Hahh.

Yes, really.

>You're OK Silver Link

Sure, the same autists from each thread and the one crybaby who gets triggered when someone posts raw screenshots must be a lot.

SL doesn't make CG.

It's such a shame that this season was surprisingly lackluster compared to SW. Bad CG and no Rall episode is a few of the many things Silver Link did wrong.
I'm really looking forward to Ep 13 seeing how likely it's the Eilanya OVA I've always wanted. I just hope SL doesn't screw that up somehow.

Too bad the CGI is utter shit.

Hope whichever shit company did that bankrupts and all their staff die in a fire.

Damn thing is too rushed. How the hell does Hikari run so fast and so far within a few minutes?

Too fake.

Makes me think that the delay for one ep caused whoever wrote this to change everything.

Hikari is still great, though.

Could somebody who can into Japanese tell them to get their shit together?

>a namefag who replies to three people at a time and claims that he can't understand how people can possibly enjoy this thing that's been proven to be bad
What did you expect?

>自分のうんこをかき集めろ
There you go, just tweet it yourself.

I want my own Sanya

I wonder HS staff is already on vacation now or something.

What does she carry in her pockets?

Aaany minute now..

Salmiakki and one pair of Eila's pantyhose.

I want to forcibly impregnate Naoe.

FFS I need to go to bed in an hour or so, my connection won't let me watch it until half an hour after someone postst the subbed version, this makes me a Very Sad Panda

Meh, the CGi was definitely jarring, but considering other endings this season I can't complain.

If I could decide my cause of death, it would be this.

>Aurora finally gets an anime appearance
>it's in this piece of shit
Can't have your cake and eat it too, I guess.

With the final broadcast episode having aired, I would like to announce my intention to sponsor/finance a translation/scanlation of Sandwich's Erica 1941 Manga.

How many people are interested?

I'll hold off my opinion until the BD but that's mostly because I already have plans on ordering them. As long as Tri-Slash gets trashed and they go back to Graphinica then it's all gucci.

Season was pretty fucking fun though. Glad there's going to be an extra episode.

Stitches where?

Subs aren't even out yet, unless you speak Spanish.

Aside from the swimsuit ones, the boring sisters, we didn't get a single decent butt shot.
Not to mention no loli witch butts. Brave Witches was a travesty.
