I APPROVE and while im doing that im lusting for the DVD uncensored version
Now the Flying Loli's are now in space above and beyond with a Mega BOOSTER and no Space helmets
Arte, perhaps an Eila x Sanya pic would have been more suitable for the cover pic for this article, reflecting the "Finno-Soviet" title. So the Eila and Perrine sauna pic, while quite saucy, is rather misleading.
Eila x Sanya is probably my favourite SW yuri couple, since they both love each other without reservation.
Crowning Moment of Heartwarming:
Eila says she's willing to go wherever Sanya goes when Sanya contemplated whether to fly back to Orussia upon seeing it from orbit.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming?from=Main.CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming
HNNNNGGG. Don't think I've ever been this touched by such a yuri moment ever since Fate held Nanoha's hand and bade each other a tearful farewell at the end of Nanoha season 1.
In a way it was so damn unexpected from a series like Strike Witches that my heart just dropped when Eila cried and said it.
While Sanya is based on a Soviet pilot, her country is probably hardly communist, as it's called the Orussian EMPIRE in the series, which is more based on the real life Russian Empire.
Same for Germany, where its the Karlsland EMPIRE, no doubt based on the German Empire pre-WWII. It's bordered by the Ostmark Empire, which is an Austro-Hungarian Empire clone. This suggests the geo-political climate in the SW world prior to the Neuroi invasion is still at pre-WWI levels, meaning a WWI-like global conflict never happened.
Why wasn't Sky Girls as popular?
Yes it was indeed the 6th ep.
And a nice one too.
WW2 fans will enjoy the nicely done Lancaster bomber.
But I had to wonder, you fly so high the air is gone, thus making it lethal without magic, and yet the magic won't provide warmth? Not to mention, why wear ear muff and scarves and nice warm jackets, and then remain with nothing below the waist but panties?
Never thought panties were so warm.
The opening picture has a ... "nice bush". ^_^
God Damn IT! I APPROVE!
Best Strike Witches episode so far.
More Eila x Sanya please!
Its a really good episode aside from the odd censoring like the horizontal laser censor.
Loved the part where they shot down the tower neuroi. Beautiful and nicely done. The song 'Sweet Duet' at that part makes it much more better.
Yoshika x sanya!!!!
Yuri brings joy to the world and boners to the angles :P
Eila couldn't dodge that pillow Sanya threw at her... (Eino Juutilainen was never hit in combat by enemy, but was once hit by a friendly anti-aircraft gun).
IN SOVIET RUSSIA PLANES FLIES YOU
DFC amd lolis hmm i guess it's a win/win situation ^^
All I know in History Russians they did have females Pilots they were very good I believe the German's called them "Night Witches".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Witches
You wonder what the name Strike Witches came from?
Ballistic Suborbital Sanya Litvyak
Eila's VA should have more roles!!!
Seventh episode? Really? I thought this was the sixth.
Needs more Erica and Ursula
It's the 6th episode. Get your fuckin' facts fuckin' straight or don't post the (old) news at all.
Best part about Eila's tail wagging was that it was "ad-libbed" by the animators.
Fun fact: Finland beat the living shit outta Russia during the Winter war of 1939/1940 (even though the Reds eventually prevailed). Arguably two of the most virulent enemies of the whole World War II era.
I just love the Irony in the Eila/Sanya pairing...
After the Winter War and Continuation War, Finland reckons they're too close to Russia for NATO to even come to their aid if they piss Stalin off and gets invaded again, in which they'll just end up like Poland and the Baltic States, which ended up under the Soviet sphere.
So Finland adopted a policy of keeping an at-arms-length distance from the Western block by declaring themselves neutral and being as friendly to Russia as possible.
Detractors call this policy which lasted until the Soviet Union's collapse at the end of the Cold War as "Finlandization", or "the art of bowing to the East without mooning the West", as by trying not to offend the Soviets, they would go so far as to send back any asylum seekers escaping to their border as well as censor any media reports critical of the Soviets.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finlandization
Still, Eila x Sanya FTW.
Yeah with the help of the germans.
We almost beat the crap out of them, but we kinda still lost. Small Finland vs. Gigantic Russia... wth... moral victory goes to us :D
And finnish ppl still seem to somewhat hate russians (so still somewhat of a enemies) :p
But still... just have to love this pairing^^
Especially Sanya :o
I think that has to do more with the fact that Russians fill every city in Finland once their summer vacation begins. Not all of them but many cause trouble like littering, general distress and speeding they can't be even fined for.
It's not really their fault, rather it's more of a difference in the cultures. Although since Finland is in general cleaner, safer and much more expensive you'd think they would at least try to uphold these two things that seem to make Finland such a desired holiday destination for them.
Russians usually just don't give a shit, which makes them difficult for the Finnish to understand. I think it's a misconception to think that the Finnish were still bitter over the War or something.
Well, with the money they leave during summer beach music festivals in my country as tourists...
Newest record - some Russians paid 20k EUR a day for renting a house near beach this year. It was on the local news even. With that, you'd tolerate almost anything, I guess it's similar in Finland.
Blame Stalin's purges of the military ranks,
it wasn't as if they were technologically lacking.
I heard there are a lot russians in Finland lately.
Strike Witches seem to prove that. ^_^
SW is propagating more love and yuri in this world.
The Finland was morally right and Russians were no better than Nazi during WW2.
Finland had better organization and strategy while Russia had numbers and air force superiority. Should the global powers start to shift again, they'd be at it again. Sucks to be neighboring them...
I really love this anime. Makes World War history sound more interesting than what my College professor makes it be.
Does anyone by any chance know if there is doujinshi of the Ellia/Perrine yuri pairing?
It's at least better than Hetalia.
I guess there are doujinshi for all yuri pairings possible and then some.
Gotta love Eila's Gununu~ face.
Attention to detail made possible by second-rate CG.
I know I can't believe people don't recognize cell shading when they see it.I always notice it and it usually looks cheesy and out of place.
Of course it's highly detailed when the characters were pre-rendered. This season has a huge drop in production costs compared to the first season.
Cell shading is a truly genius invention as it makes our lives even easier.
Also it's what makes long battle scenes among detailed robots like in Gundam 00 possible! The 70ties hand-drawn shit is unwatchable.
LOLWUT! Every robot in Gundam 00 is hand drawn, and it's fucking awesome. Just some ships and shit are CG.
Think of the bright side - at least it's not third-rate!
Exactly. At least it's not a huge dragon involved.
... You obviously are not aware of the CGI dragon fiasco presented in Fate/Stay Night, or you wouldn't have asked that.
Huge dragon as a bad thing as in it's usually hard to animate in details or you don't like dragons overall?
Because if you don't like dragons overall then.. I wouldn't even know what to say, really.
I approve of Perrine x Elia
@DFC
I too approve of this delishush yuri pairing...
But like Touhou, any yuri (crack) pairing in Strike Witches is a treat~
@Darkrockslizer
Indeed...The love shared between two anime girls is one of the most beautiful things I've fapped to--er, seen...
Didn't I started a thread about alternative shippings?
The only way this show could be better is if they had sex every even chapter.
Plot+Porn+Great characters+War action == Legendary Win
Approved.
Approved indeed
OBJECTION!
no, i approve
Your objection was denied by the Captain.
I approve any pairing for that matter...
I approve of yuri in general.
then in the 8th day, God created yuri, started grinning mischievously and sat back to enjoy the show.
in that respect
Japan; get on a loli yuri version of Boku no Pico
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
You mean like Boku no Pico?
Oh wait.......thats........
Who needs shota/traps ero-anime when you can watch this delicious loli/yuri anime!
I approve of Sanya and Erica bathing together.
I disapprove of convenient moonbeams.
yuri >>>>>> traps anyday!
I approve ANY pairing, as long as it's yuri! Strike Witches is nothing without yuri!
This world would be worth nothing without yuri.
Could this show get any stupider?
*recalls episode where apparently a Strike Witch only owns one pair of panties*
Nope.
You've never put off doing the laundry until you realise you only have one pair of clean underwear? Maybe your mom still does your laundry.
Those are not pantsu. ^_^
They are part of the uniform. Soldiers only get a few uniforms, it should be the same here.
Then why are all the pants different.
Because they're all from different countries, thus issued different uniforms! :D
I am so loving that pairing!! I want to see some Kissing even if it's accidental damn it!!! DX
they need to play the pocky game!
One of these days, they need to make the girls kiss. On screen. It's like the longest foreplay ever.
Sometimes long foreplay can be soooo good
Only if you make it right, that is. And if you do, it can even be better than the finale.
kissing is part of foreplay. unless your homerun ends at first base, in which case, i salute you good chap because you are batting for the wrong team.
Oh yes! This anime now needs some cute, sweet, romantic girls-kissing-each-other scenes.
Is it really that hard for a series to attract praise for such trivialities as PLOT, CHARACTER AND ACTION?
I don't think that's what Finlandization means...
But I'll accept it anyway!!!
One of the best yuri couples ever.
...don't you mean ep. 6 ?
I have the feeling they are making it more and more into moe...
As always Lucchini was the best...
I hope they do better in sauna than their real life counterparts: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-10904691
A Perrine and Eila episode!? One of my motives of staying alive has been fulfilled <3
Any SW pairing will have my approvals.
Pic.10 & 15 are my fav. :3
lol at bottom left pic of http://img3.sankakustatic.com/wp-content/gallery/misc-ero-viii/strike-witches-2-7-005.jpg
really now, 2 beams of horizontal light in the middle of the night??
no wonder anime girls always wear the same clothing, they have at least 6 sets! you can see that in the scene where eila and sanya in their room
Well, at least in this series they have the excuse that those are the military uniforms of their respective countries and military branches. Except for Yoshika, at least, who still wears her school uniform.
Maybe someone is firin her lazors?
in reality the fins fought the russians and stopped the russian invasion of the scandinavian peninsulas via homegrown snipers forcing the soviets to invade europe from the south.
Unless they used machine gun carrying lolis, this isn't relevant to my interests.
They had a whole battalion.
I teared up while watching this. The whole atmosphere of this episode was just so sweet.
This show is a joke and anyone that watches it should be ashamed.
Go fap over your shota/trap pics, dork!
