The newly released 6th volume of Strike Witches continues to make a host of dramatic improvements to the show’s animation, going substantially beyond the requisite ero-upgrade to include a fair amount of redrawn art.
However, this release may be bittersweet for many, as this was the final DVD volume and we now have only the recently announced sequel to look forward to.
DVD is on the left, original TV broadcast version on the right for both images.
Although the final episodes included very little ero-content, it seems that we are still treated to a great many subtle changes, enhancing the quality of what was already a well animated show still further.
The Neuroi’s laser (?) weapons seem to be able to shoot at what they’re pointed at now.
Note the Tomoko Anabuki figure’s changes.
Less obstructions to a view of Sanya’s young petanko body can only be described as a massive improvement, and there are several small changes plainly visible in most frames shown here.
Note the attention paid to Gertrud‘s oppai…
The sixth DVD is available now.
As Strike Witches volume 6 contains the final two episodes, I think we can safely say the Strike Witches DVD was overall a large success, containing much ero-upgrading and overall animation enhancements and deserving of its especially successful sales figures.
Since even the Japanese government officially recognizes the series’ excellence, we can hope the sequel continues in the same vein as the first season and escapes any negative effects of the recent turmoil at Gonzo…
NO MORE BENDY LAZARS?
Personally, I liked the bending lasers better. Reminded me of the ones used in Wolf’s Rain.
Tyrenol is lovin this l♥♥i filled anime
Anyone that troll-baits Tyrenol = win.
*hands you 10 internets*
Does the beam remind anyone of the giant beam saber thing that the 00 does in gundam o_o
i’m thinking that maybe the lasers are just being made straight in places where they seem badly done
i hope
It seems that in the screenshots where the beam is replaced the beam is much cleaner-looking. (e.g. comparison_01, 3rd row from bottom, the beam is a lot smaller, which makes sense given the neuroi’s size.) It is also a lot less fuzzy, and a lot brighter.
