why not?

>>33243585
B-because I'm not old enough...

>>33243585
she has to meet her parents first

Mio probably already did hit that

Minna X Mio should be canon.
Why is Mio such a lolicon? ;_;

delicious lynette

>>33244360
Because dicks

BANNED IN THE UK

>>33244454
Sauce?

>>33244370
Get out of here, Lynette.

Now this reminds me. Second season will probably have more Lynette. I wonder who will appear less than in the first season.

>>33245295

So as someone who isn't a WW2 buff, what was the 'amusing incident' in the panty-stealing theft chain episode about?

I mean, what was Hartmann's analogous real-life 'incident' that it was parodying?

>>33244646
Are they going to be including some of the other witches in S2?

>>33245372
he stole Hitler's hat, also based on old folk tale in a way

>>33245372
A: Tell about the time you received the Oak Leaves from Hitler.


Q: That was a strange time. First, most of us were drunk. Gerd Barkhorn, Walter

Krupinski, Johannes Wiese and I were to report to Berchtesgaden. All of us

except Gerd were getting the Oak Leaves, he was getting the Swords. By the

time we got their we were trying to sober up. Walter always stated years later

that we had to hold each other up. We had been drinking cognac and

champagne, a deadly combination when you have not eaten in a couple of

days. The first person we met off the train was Hitler’s Luftwaffe adjutant,

Major von Below, who was I think in a state of shock at our condition. Were

to meet Hitler in a couple of hours, and we could hardly stand. This was in

March 1944, and there was a lot of snow at that time at that altitude.
Q: I spoke to Walter Krupinski and read about the ‘hat event’ in your biography

by Ray Toliver and Trevor Constable. What was that about?
A: I could not find my hat, and my vision was not the best, so I took a hat on a

stand and put it on, and it was too large. I knew it was not mine at that time.

Below became upset and told me it was Hitler’s, and to put it back. Everyone

was laughing about it except Below. I made some joke about Hitler having a

big head, and that it ‘must go with the job,’ which created even more laughter.

>>33245372
I thought it was related to Hartmann stealing Hitler's hat.

"Hartmann took a German officer hat from a stand and put it on, but it was too large. Von Below became upset, told Hartmann it was Hitler's and ordered him to put it back."

>>33245420
Yeah. Maybe not exactly new, but there will be some other witches.
Takei Junko, for example

>>33245420
I'll bet you a beer that Tina will show up.

>>33245523
Well that will be pretty cool then.

>>33245592

>>33245592
But Lucchini dislikes her

>>33245693
Delicious drama and tension.

>>33245693
I like Tina more than Lucchini. I can't believe I just said that, but, well, here we are.

>>33245693
Why?

Hope theres plenty of Erica.

>>33245893
Most witches are better than Lucchini.

>>33244370
How do you think she felt, after defeating the Neuroi and keeping her homeland from ever being invading, to find out you weren't welcome and back and pics of you would cause the arrests of any who viewed it.

>>33246060
How could you make her cry like that?

>>33245909
Because Lucchini is too much of a kid. She's cute and funny, but Tina comes off as a woman. A gal like that is nice ever now and then. Also, I think it is part anticipation. From what has been translated of Star of Africa and some of the other material, you get a taste of Tina. Hopefully, in Season 2 she can live up to my expectations.

For the record, Erica is my favorite witch.

>>33245592
>>33245893
>>33246178
does she have a life partner?

>>33246275

Raissa thinks so...

>>33246275
Elisa.

>>33246391
Thats ok with me.

And she's "fond" of children.

If you know what I mean....

Other strike witches thread is here: >>33236734

I hope O'Hare shows up, she's the only other Liberion witch.

Needs lots more of Eila.

SAUCE ON THIS DELICIOUS LOLI SHOW

So... how many of you guys bought SW on DVD?

>>33246499
I think she's outside the age range, though... or at least very close to it.

>>33246499
I want a Liberion witch that isn't a titty monster.

>>33246543
I did.

>>33246543
I thought about it, but decided to save up instead and import the BluRay box set when it gets released.

>>33246535
strike witches

>>33245955
Doesn't Erica have a sister who's a witch?

>>33246824
Well, they all world, because they come from witch families.

>>33246583
Unfortunately very few Liberion witches have gotten any art... only O'Hare and Yeager as far as the flying witches, though the Tank Witches have a few more...

>>33246824
Ursula

>>33246717
wai wai wait a second

so that shit it's actually worth watching?

Reading about some of the pilots the Witches are based on is pretty cool. Look at this Finnish pilot that Eila is based on, goddamn. Don't fuck with Finland just because it's covered in snow.

>>33246583
Needs moar Amerikans.

O'Hare in season 2 would be funny

>>33246954
Only if you want to enjoy 13 episodes of awesomeness, plus nightly threads, plus season 2.

Speaking of Liberion/America, is it under Neuroi occupation too? Or is it just Europe that's fucked?

>>33246824
Yes, her twin sister Ursula is also a witch (she was the one who designed the rocket launcher that Sanya uses).

That's her and Erica in >>33246472.

>>33246943
They need to put her in the new season.

>>33246954
First two episodes are kinda bad, but it gets really good later on.

But it's nothing deep or anything like that. Just a funny and cute show,

>>33246990
I have been trying to track down a copy of his autobiography, Double Fighter Knight for a while. I am too cheap to pay the absurd prices it goes for these days.

>>33247065
So is she like the opposite personality of Erica? Ive only watched the anime so I don't know any thing about the other witches.

>>33247218
Pretty much.

>>33246990
There were some bro moments too.

Not necessarily Nipa's moment of glory, since he was playing sidekick. It was led by Hasse.

>His pilots looked at him questioningly. Wind paced round the room, then explained: he had received orders to reconnoitre with two planes east and south of Viipuri. He needed say nothing more. Every one of the pilots understood that it was an insane order, a true suicide mission. Probably Major Karhunen knew it, too, because he had ordered only two planes to the task - to minimise the likely loss. The enemy fighters constantly patrolled the airspace of the target and could summon reinforcements in a few minutes. The enemy most likely also had radar.

>Capt. Wind felt as an officer that it was his duty to fulfill the order, however idiotic. He continued pacing, then turned to his wingman and friend, sergeant-major Nils Katajainen with a question: "Nipa, would you join me ?". Katajainen agreed, saying that he could go since he already had had his breakfast and he did not expect to get any in enemy hands.

>>33247323
>The two pilots donned their gear. To date Capt Wind had scored 72 victories and Sgt.maj. Katajainen 30. Then they studied the map and agreed on tactics: no radio traffic because the enemy would intercept the messages. Wind would do the reconnaisance and Katajainen would cover him. Then they climbed in their Bf 109 G-6 fighters - Wind was flying "MT-439", Katajainen "MT-476" - and the mechanics started the engines by hand-cranking. The two Messer's took off at 10:25 a.m.

>Approaching the target area at 5000 m the two pilots saw seven enemy Yak-9 fighters at low altitude. To the surprise of wingman Katajainen, his leader half-rolled and dived at the enemy: on reconnaisance mission battle must be avoided if only possible. (It is this author's guess that Wind wanted to abort the suicide mission gracefully - being drawn into battle against superior enemy is a honourable way to return with mission unaccomplished). But Katajainen had to follow his leader. At the very same moment he saw that they had been ambushed: 20 more Soviet fighters, Airacobras and Yak-9's were diving at them, and the enemy leader was calling for reinforcements.

Basically it was 2 vs 20+, and both pilots thought the other one died along the way, only to meet up next to each other in a hospital bed.

>>33247218
Basically. She was in the Suomus Misfits light novels. She's quiet, studious and very serious.

She also has a fuck-off huge dome.

>>33247405
Are the novels translated?

>>33247532
about 2.5 volumes. It's hella slow since there's only one translator, Selkirk.

>>33247581
Ill look it up and read whats is done I guess, thanks.

Will it include the Stig? or is he banned for outshining the rest of the witches

>>33247405
Now I'll never be able to fap to Ursula.

Actually, I don't fap to SW, it's too pure.

>>33247724
The purest of the Witches and the biggest of foreheads

>>33247323
>>33247343
Awesome shit.

I'm also reading about this Japanese Zero fighter ace, Sakai. See pic. Kind of a tearjerker, probably because he reminds me of this old lady I know who's a family friend.

She's like 90 and lives in California nearby my parents' house, I used to mow her lawn for money as a kid. I still remember hearing her tell her story when I asked her, and bawwwwwing like a baby over it when I got home (she didn't tell me the whole story, but my parents filled in the gaps for me).

Basically, she and her family (husband, 2 daughters and one son) were against the war, but her husband was pressured into joining the Japanese Navy anyway. By the end of the war, her husband had been KIA, and her son and one of her daughters (civilians) had died to Allied bombs.

She moved to the U.S. a while after the war, and her only surviving daughter disowned her for it. She sends the daughter letters every month, but the daughter hasn't responded for about 40 years now. I remember asking her if she hated the U.S. for our bombers killing her son and daughter, and she said no, it was the Emperor's fault for getting into the war in the first place.

She also never remarried, said the incident had made it so she couldn't ever love again ;_;

>>33247907
Whoops, forgot my pic.

And of course the old lady I'm talking about is Japanese, if I didn't make that clear. Her daughter still lives in Japan.

>>33247907
Are you just reading articles or are you reading Samurai?

>>33246499

I did, bro.

>>33247978
>>33247907
This Sakai you are talking about is none other than Mio

Who's the better husbando?

>>33247907
A lot of japs, civilian and military, at the time were confused with their Emperor like her, some were appalled with the fact that kamikaze tactics were allowed.

Too bad people like them are basically frowned upon, and instead they got the FOR THE EMPAHRAH, so people on the outside never had a chance to see other views from the japanese

>>33248148
FDR

What's Eila's magic ability already?

>>33248192
Enjoy being cheated on by a cripple.

>>33247405
She invented Sanya's Fliegerhummer, and later the Fliegerschreck.

>>33248229
Predicting the future (but just a few seconds)

>>33248229
The ability to see slightly into the future. Just pretend she is a Newtype.

>>33248148
Truman and Churchill would be more dedicated to their waifus. A waifu of Stalin would be shared with the people

>>33248229
>Eila: 未来予知 Mirai Yochi (Foresight)
She can see a little bit into the future and predict enemy movements and such. She can do crazy shit like in my pic.

>>33248291
Eila is a magazine?

I know, Gundam

>>33247036
>>33247098
Ok, I'll give in.

Downloading Uncensored version.

Thx [a/

>>33248344
That reminds me...

Anyone have the copypasta about that pilot Perrine is waving to?

>>33248376
>Uncensored version

I hope you only mean DVD version by this and not that infamous edited episode 7 with Perrine's grumpy vagina exposed.

>>33248377
As the pilot attempts to fight the agile Neuroi, he is only able to perform limited turns and maneuvers. Before he knows it, a streak of laser hits his engine causing irreparable damage and another went through his cockpit, hitting him squarely on his chest. His fighter aircraft then starts to plummet. As the smell of leaking fuel fills his lungs and the looming oblivion embraces him, the only thing the pilot can think of is the image of a sweet, Gallian girl who earlier waved and smiled at him.

>>33248883
"My latest sortie into Gallian airspace. Though the brass knows my can't do much against the Neuroi in our fighters, we still fly our patrols as we're told. If we're lucky, we won't see a single Neuroi for the entire patrol. If we're not... well, let's just say I'm still in the air, so I haven't been that unlucky yet.

... We're close to crossing the channel, and as always, my heart is racing. Please, my love, protect me as you alw-

Wait, what's that? Is it... yes, it's a Witch. Oh, oh thank God.

Recognizing me as flight lead, she pulls into formation next to me and... waves a greeting. This is not a salute, not a greeting given in the usual stiff military manner, but a kind, friendly wave from a young girl. Her warm smile touches my heart, and I wave back, my beating heart calming from the simple, innocent gesture, as she peels away to take a high position about my flight.

I call over the radio to the rest of my flight and give them words of encouragement, now that I truly feel it myself. We fight the Neuroi, yes, but having a Witch with us now, we're much more likely to see tomorrow..."

I swear there was more to this

>>33248917
There probably was since this has some bad spelling and grammatical errors.

I've not seen the original but I could clean this bit for people if they want.
