wait what

who would be doing it, isn't GONZO dead?

Can't wait.

>>30326096
AIC is.

>>30326096
Gonzo's not dead, but no they're not doing it. Production has been handed over to AIC, and most if not all of the creative staff (director, writers, character design, etc) is the same.

hopefully it is about the witches going on the offensive

Better scans

I figure selkirk will do a better translation of the S2 info, but until then, I did the Q&A section.

Q&A Page

Upon hearing about the settlement of the broadcast, we launched a "direct attack" to get the truth from director Takamura Kazuhiro, character designer Shimada Humikane, and world setting & military history planner Suzuki Yoshiaki.

Q: What kind of story will season two have?
A: It will have a greater number of cheerful episodes than the first season. The setting of the Adriatic sea, and its endlessly brilliant sky and warm climate had an influence perhaps. Also, in the broadcast, it's a time when everyone has been set free. (Takamura)

Q: Will the colors and design of the pants change?
A: The pants are their pants to the end. They are part of the uniform, so they will not change. (Takamura)

Q: How much time has passed since the first season?
A: Around six months. It would have been okay to start directly after the first season, but Takamura told us even the witches need a bit of time off. His words are full of love (laugh). (Shimada)

Q: How is the production going?
A: Well, leaving that aside. The striker unit and costumes, and the design of the Neuroi have been decided in fine detail. We are all working very hard to be able to show you the witches in motion. (Takamura)

Q: How much will Lynne appear?
A: It's not like I'm always thinking about how to use Lynne (laugh). However, one episode will make good use of her. The depth of the witches' trust in each other will be shown through Lynne's actions. (Takamura)

Q: Has anything been difficult in the production?
A: There are too many things left over from the first season that I want to include. I also wanted to put in military devices... However, with limited time and in the midst of struggles, it's necessary to focus your energies on the important things, but, with director Takamura at the helm, we are taking care not to overlook those parts as well. (Shimada)

>>30326865
(continued)
Q: Will the relationships between characters change?
A: The Miyafuji and Lynne, Eila and Sanya pairs will stay the same as the first season. The various characters' personalities will be retained as in the first season. This season, the pairs will naturally be connected, and it will be a story of all 11 strike witches. Incidentally, in the first season, it wasn't until after five episodes that all the witches had lines. And so, this time... Well, look forward to the actual broadcast. (laugh) (Suzuki)

Q: Will there be new characters?
A: As previously announced in last September's event, Takei Junko from the game version will appear. In addition to that, more new witches may appear. Please wait and look forward to it. (Takamura)

Q: Anything to take note of?
A: Pretty much all of the striker units have been revised. However, even saying that they are new models, it's not like they have suddenly powered up, and even if you don't know about it you can still enjoy it. There are airplanes that served as the models, and so the striker units will inevitably be replaced, and people that understand that will be able to enjoy it. What's more, we have obtained amazing sounds that can't be found in Japan, and so please take note of the sound effects, and particularly the sound of the new striker units. (Shimada)

Q: Tell us frankly, what things were you paying special attention to while making it?
A: The intense image of the "pants" tends to stand out, but, it's a story of comrades in cooperation, growing, and protecting their precious friends. That's not to say there are no other stories like it.(?) What's more, my policy for making stories is that when the story is over, even if just a little, I want a development where the world really has become a little better. (Shimada)

>>30326903
(continued)
Q: Please tell us the highlights and your comments!
A: Honestly, our intention was to make everything about it a highlight. I wanted to make a work where you want to watch every week the live broadcast, and then to buy and rewatch many times the DVD. [TL note: BUY SW DVDs] Because that's our duty as the creators. (Takamura)

>>30326865
I have mixed feelings about that.
The cheerful episodes were great but I liked the serious episodes with Mina and her song and Sanya´s episode a lot too.

>>30326865
>>make good use of her
>>Lynne

FUCKYEAR

>Eila and Sanya pairs will stay the same as the first season.

>>30326865
Since its set around the Adriatic, I think its a safe bet we'll see the Karlsland Afrika corps!!

>>30326096
GONZO may be dead. But in our hearts, and on our backs... they're working with AIC!

>>30326935
Same here, although I guess I would be fine with getting just one or two serious war-episodes as long as they are well executed. Now that the peaceful episodes won't be about introducing characters (I guess...) perhaps there will actually be some kind of plot! Though that could of course be a bad thing.

>>30327073
Hopefully we'll see some of the other witches as well...

Amelie Planchard and Ursula Hartmann already have voice actors(From the Radio Drama, though Ursula's is just Erica's), and I believe Amaki Suwa and Nishiki Nakajima do as well thanks to the PS2 Game so they're leading the way for Cameos.

>>30327279
Not Radio drama, the Audio Drama CD's,excuse me.

>>30327279
Interesting how only Yoshika's has a raep tiem feel to it.

>>30327279
Who is playing Amelie, do you know?

FUCK YEAH

>>30327350
Hang on...

Ah, Sayuri Yahagi:

May I propose we celebrate this by listening the 3rd Drama CD?

This one is probably my favorite since there's no boring "After Story" track and there's four segments of Eila's counseling corner. Also, finally at least some Erica.

>>30327566
Thanks, I only vaguely remember her from a few shows.

>>30327627
Excellent.

Today is a good day.

>>30326058
Xbox live?

>>30327279
No Eila? No Luchinni?

WHAT IS THIS?!

Don't forget nigga, or else...

er, I mean Nikka

>>30326253
Her boobs are about to shoot some neuroi lasers

>>30327279
WHAT THE HELL? PERRINE AND ERICA HAVE BREAST CANCER NOW? WHAT THE HELL?

>>30327732
I hope for goddamn sure she's in the second season. If anything at least let her be official.

I hate awesome characters going down the drain...

For all this time, I've been missing the witches so much.
Fantastic news!

>>30327741
Butthurt pedo detected?

>>30327722
>>30327741
Chill bros, it was proven long ago that those images were bullshit. They took the same bodies and just drew different heads on them. They were used in other promotional material as well. There was an image where they superimposed all of them on top of each other, wish I had saved it now.

>>30327661
I just looked it up, its fake, but damn if it didnt get my hopes up.

>>30327848
It's not so much fake as that it may never get released.

>>30327823
>>30327741
>>30327722

It's not bullshit, these are from the PS2 Visual Novel. Russell games took down the promotional material from the PS2 site in December when they Launched the DS game so they could retool the site.

They were pre-production images, so there may be some changes in the final game, but it's still in the works.

>>30328154

>>30327661
Oh, and there's also an Xbox game in the works as well, developted by CyberFront Studios, rather than Russell Games.

It's likely just going to be a straight up Vertical Scrolling Shooter, but I'm holding out Hope for something like Ace Combat:Skies Over Karlsland.

I need more Shirley!

>>30328268
everytime i see this i remember that episode of yahtzee

We'd best get some Nikka. Any kind of cameo will suffice.

Also, is anyone else having issues posting? Any time I try to post an image over 1mb I get booted to the index.

Every day until Season 2...

>>30328400
Not having any problems, but 4chan has been fucking up a lot lately. It just comes with the territory now.

Vacation in Ita-... Romagna? Nipa wouldn't mind...

>>30328559
I truly can't imagine Nipa in warm weather.

>>30328559
Good odds she hits the statue on their new base.

>>30328623

>>30328665
but more likely this.

>>30328665
This is madness!

>>30328261
FUCKYEAR

The neurois would fit right in with the AC universe, what with all the crazy-huge rediculous weapons and stuff. Remember the railguns and megalith in AC4? or what about the Aigaion Flying Fortress from AC6?

>>30328261
This is what the jp wiki says but I can't find any info on it on the cyberfront site...

>>30328696
You should see Elma then.

>>30328748
The Answer-like neuroi would also be fucking awesome

Suomen girls are god-tier

PROVE ME WRONG

Cumbuckets and whores.

>>30328841
I've only really played AC4 and AC6. is The Answer from 5?

>>30328895
For Answer, a branch off of AC4.

Wasn't too terribly easy if you can do the basics of dodging and evading.

>>30328870
Suowomen maybe...
