wow. The fight against the regenerating Neuroi was epic. Mio's new skill "Reppuuzan" was too awesome.

Epic battle

Mio is more badass, the finishing move proves that she still got it.

LYNETTE!!!!! *screams like little girl*

Everyone else is back and kicking ass.

Glad to see the 501st get together again with their great pantsu.
I might actually try and remember each character's name this time around.

It finally hits me that the strike units render thighhighs useless. *sigh*

I know everyone's name except for the crimson haired one. And I usually go an entire anime series knowing less than 2 characters names.

I also want to have rough sex with Lucchini so badly

And I thought I was bad with names.

At least the action is fairly consistent, but surprisingly not as ecchi as the first season was, as it seems right now~

Still awesome.

Sakamoto pulled a bankai on use and used Getsuga Tensho.

I enjoyed this episode, much better than the previous one.

Oh you dirty ol... well I must admit, there's no way I'd say no to that either (^.^)

Action packed episode and the old gang is finally assembled :D
Plus Mio with her sword Reppuuzan was just awesome, though the name sounds a bit lame. A rough translation it would mean 'Gale Blade' which aint too bad though.

Wonder how Barkhorn can fight so easily with 2 machine guns, i heard they where really heavy.
Then again logics and this anime don't go well together.

Sakamoto was awesome as usual, she kicked ass in first season as well.

The Yeager and Lucchini combination is a good laugh as always.
Plus Hartmann and Lucchini makes for some good mischief couple.

Minna Wilcke and Sakamoto make a nice combination as well.

I can personally vouche for how heavy machine guns are since I've fired and trained with an KSP 58 during my army service.
That weapon weighs 12 kg with the bi-pod mount (which is always on anyway) so to wield two of those without the harness you'd have to be extremely strong.
And if you want to effectively aim and fire, add even more needed strength to that. In reality it's on the borderline to impossible for a human to actually accomplish this fear, and guaranteed to fail for any female, especially a little girl.

But as you say, there aren't much of realism in this anime to begin with =P
So I say go with the flow since it looks cool (^.^)
My main 'lol wtf' moment was when she used her guns as sledge hammers.. not the best thing to do especially not when your holding the extremely hot barrels =P

Barkhorn's magical ability is super strength isn't it? She used the machine guns as a melee weapon against that Neuroi as well.
Oh yeah forgot about that, that's settled then since you can't argue against magic xD
Though it's still a bit odd to use your gun as clubs^^
If the hot barrels don't fry the skin in your hands at least the impact from the strike is bound to bend the barrels, or damage the mechanics inside the weapon.

If i remember correctly there was a fight in last season where the barrel became so hot that it started to glow.

There is a other thing if you look at it from a realistic view is how is she able to deal with the push back of those machine guns?
It would be a hard thing to do when walking let alone flying.
Then there is the other girls they don't have super strength yet there able to fight with a machine gun as well, especially Lucchini and Miyafuji don't seem like the types that would be able to hold a 10-15 kg machine gun
And the riffle Lynette is holding should have a pretty nasty push back, and then there is Sanya with her rocket launcher.

But let's just face it small girls holding big guns looks awesome.

Lucchini said roger....I can die happy now :)

This season is off to a really nice start but man...is it me or does it seem like the episodes are really short...its already two episodes in and feels like not much has happened and the fact that theres prolly only 10 left makes me sad. They are only like 20 minutes long so each episode is precious >.>;; Maybe hell will freeze over and we will get 24 episodes :O

Oh and about the weapons...they are ALL heavy. Its the fact they are putting magic into everything they are doing while flying that allows to use them all so easily.

Don't worry the ecchi goodness will come eventually, for now we'll have to suffice with the never ending pantsu angle shots that Strike Witches is so famous for.

Now that the gang is back together we can expect awesome fights combined with YURI antics when they're not fighting.

I'm very much looking forward to the following episodes :)

Awesome, all of it. Except for Mio's voice :(. The episodes feel short because they have a perfect pace and give the viewer all he wants when he wants it. Now we just need a little more ecchi/groping (not a lot, just a bit) and we'll have a great sequel.

I'm only a bit sad because a part of the battle sequence was already shown at the beginning of episode 1, so in the end they already recycled a scene. I hope this is not a trend.

Actually, super strength is an ability of every Witch. Remember the very first OVA made by Gonzo? There you can see two men hardly carrying a long weapon and giving it to Yoshika, who takes it away easily as if it was a feather.

Every Loli has super strength. Just like Coopa, from the Tower of Druaga <3

Still managing to be unbelievable. I'm enjoying every second of it.
I'd have been worthily hanging on ever second for the second episode and have watched it ASAP after it's release if my time weren't also tied with the newly released translation of EP6 of Umineko no Naku Koro ni and visiting my mom in the hospital.

I'm going to hurry and get Episode 3 and watch all three of them over and over until Episode 4 is released.
Just blown away.

Sakamoto's laugh is as bad as ever, but Eila's voice acting is actually good now.
And what the hell was that attack Erica did? I don't think we've seen it before.
And lol at Francesca (who wee need more of) making Yoshika grope Lynette.

Oh god yes! Going from a 'how do we got out of this one' situation to a 'kick-ass-teams-back-together' was amazing! Gah! So many moments of fist in the air whooping like a mental person.

Also, all the discussion of how Barkhorn (ooh lovely Barkhorn) can wield two pretty heavy machine guns put me in mind of this picture:

Sakamoto is so hardcore: "No striker, I can't shield, and I'm buck naked, but as long as I got my sword, it'll be alright" lol

Apart from that, the mecha cg looked really average, so did the camera moves showing some (eg boats), but the neuroi are more believable than ever, so a plus for the show this time around.

today i just finished Strike Witches first season ...it was nice ,but not that amazing as it could be
now , second season really got me happy...i mean ,it was just so wonderful, seems to be better than the first season (it may be because now things that happen have emotional impact ,as through the first season we learned about the characters ,and now ..yeah ^_^ )
this episode was just so nice...I should sleep now ,but as usually in such situations...heh ,won't happen to soon ! :))
