Generally, sounds are nicely done and SFX is used but again as the most show could just have a bit more oomph at times.Ĭharacters develop a fair amount in the regard most are already established. The OP is still a banger with an ED to boot. The girls, as usual, have great fanservice about them which suits them completely. The art is more polished than before and does randomly although oddly change into a CGI format at times with the girls although that stops a bit as it goes on. Don't take the show so seriously since it has more fan service than anything else. question such things as the guns with near-limitless ammunition but then don't question that they have planes on their legs or how Sanya is one of very few witches with bottoms on as such. People who are new to this and haven't seen anything else I know
#Strike witches series
That being a show where all girls are best girls essentially.Īlthough not as good as the other parts of this series in a whole it is still an excellent addition to the franchise with an ending that was exactly what you wanted and more.Īs a continuation of the story, we already know this just takes off where others have left and pushes forward with the conflict.

Sanya remains our queen with Eila accompanying but Shizuka has made a strong entrance into the best girl league. It has some real great memorable moments and is great entertainment, but one wishes that they'll do more plotwise with later seasons/spinoffs. RtB is a great sequel that's everything you'd want but unfortunately doesn't do that much to truly innovate or stand out on its own. The series is always better with the episodic SoL comedy stuff than it is with the action and Neuroi stuff. Still, more Strike Witches means more Hasshin Shimasu so I ain't complaining much. The timeline even progressed to 1946 with large swarths of the world still Neuroi-infested. Shizuka is useless and I dearly miss Mio's laughter.Īgain, we receive little to no new information on the Neuroi, seeing as more information about them or allusions to a peace with them would mean the end of the series, and Lord knows the Production committee doesn't want to lose their golden goose. Sanya/Eila's episode is fine if not as strong as before, Perriene's episode was surprisingly good, and Lynne's focus in Episode 7 is fantastic, even if she is shafted otherwise. As mentioned earlier the Karlsland girls (especially Trude) steal the spotlight in this, but my favourite episode, as usual, is the Shirley/Lucchini bonding episode. Thankfully the rest of the girls fare much better, especially in their spotlight episodes. I can't believe we traded in Mio for this. Yoshika's Jesus Complex is still there, and while Shizuka does receive some form of character development that makes her less bitchy, that just means she becomes even more useless than she was in the movie. At the very least, now, the military (in the mainline series) is finally shown to be at least somewhat competent, taking down some Neuroi or another with some degree of success, even if they still need MiyafuJesus to save their asses in the end. Thankfully gone is the formulaic "Miyafuji takes a boat ride to Europe that lasts two episodes while the Navy is useless, and the girls take down the Neuroi-fused superweapon of the season that was previously thought to be a good idea". Traditionally episodes 1,2,11,and 12 are the weakest episodes since they're the only plot-focused episodes with Miyafuji as the center, and here they still are the weakest episodes, but even then they're still vastly improved compared to their S1 and S2 counterparts. counterparts, and the girls look fantastic in HD.
#Strike witches movie
The action scenes and 3D models look as good as, if not better than their movie The animation noticeably received a huge bump even before the BDs are out.

Road to Berlin is exactly what you'd want and expect from a Strike Witches sequel, and apart from Shizuka's existence, it delivers on every front.

However, if you need more convincing, the rest of the review is there for you. That line should be enough to convince you to watch what I consider to be the best season of Strike Witches to date (excluding Hasshin Shimasu, which is untouchable). Trude punches an Su-57 with her goddamned fists.
