Best Witch

>>6108023

wait they're witches?

>>6108033
Yes. They fly and use magic.

You think Francesca ever met Beatrice I? I'd say it's possible.

> Best Witch

i tried watching this show and didnt understand

>>6108046
holy shit, when did that happen?

>>6108052

it happens all the time in this show... but... isn't it like the 2 episode of 2 season?

>>6108052
Episode 2 (S2), I think.

http://tomopop.com/strike-witches-francesca-lucchini-flying-high-and-looking-good-13342.phtml

if you haven't preordered it already then you're not a true Francesca's fan

Believe it or not, but for now it seems they actually do reduce the amount of panty shots later on in the season.

By a trace amount, but an amount no less.

Why does she have no pubic hair if she's Italian?

>>6108085
>if you haven't preordered it already then you're not a true Francesca's fan
Ordering right now. ;_;

>>6108089
Because she is 12.

>>6108085
I ordered this.

>>6108102
It kind of bothers me how the youngest witch is 12. She's not far from the ravages of puberty.

>>6108089

If Francesca was a Touhoe you know which one of them would she be? The best one.

>>6108115

Would you still watch it if they were all adults?

>>6108138
Why would anyone watch a show with no lolis?

>>6108085
Where the hell is my Mio figure? They've put one out for pretty much everyone but her.

Actually I knew even before watching it that Fran would be my favourite because she's the youngest. It kind of go against my rules as I would normally chose Hartmann as the most nazi one, but I didn't make a mistake on that. Francesca is pure love.

>>6108115
She's probably already in it. Girls hit puberty at around 10, now.

>>6108146

It's better to have no figure than an ugly one, like Hartmann's.

>>6108138
Not sure. Perhaps so, but it would definetly be not be as cute.

>>6108145

Well... judging from the second season thus far, they seem to be moonlighting a bit catering to the relatively small target audience of battleship porn.

>>6108155
The series is situated around 1945.

>>6108175
I fucking love the Yamato

>>6108104
needs less fog

>>6108195
Buy Strike Witches DVDs

>>6108195
Buy Blurays etc.

>>6108182

Above all she's a Witch. It's likely that her methabolism differs from that of a normal human.

>>6108195

downlaod from interwebs

I love when she makes these animal like sounds. :3

>>6108186

Got to give them credit for the battleship porn.
For all its flaws, you're not going to find any other anime (possibly no other kind of media either) with both Andrea Doria battleships together, in action, and on the winning side.
Same thing goes for finding any anime showing Lancasters dropping bouncing bombs. Lancasters escorted by Macchi Folgores no less. Okay, so the Lancasters are in pseudo-Italian livery and bouncing bombs don't work anything at all like depicted, but can't have everything.

>>6108258

Reminds me of Kona-chan ;_;

I really like how the witches are cgi half the time. Great improvment over DEEN who only took advantage of the gift of cgi for nueroi.

>>6108261
She looks cute only in this image. Also stop watching this Shampoo.

>>6108114
Is there a higher res version of this?

>>6108278
Did I say DEEN, I meant Gonzo.

Somehow I knew that Francesca was /jp/'s favorite Strike Witch.

>>6108288
Are you a wizard?

>>6108281

I'm watching it only hanging on to unrealistic hope.

I don't like Lucchini but my folder seems to be full of her.

>>6108332

u mad broski?

12 years old

You like Boofy?

I bet her father read her "The Doctrine of Fascism" when she was younger.

Official aircraft based waifu.

Yeager is close second.

What the fuck. This thread is reported for /a/ shit in /jp/.

Francesca is too good for /a/. Please have aids and die.

Shitty witch.

Sanya is better.

Nendroid Lucchini is awesome

>>6108426

Go back to Finland, Eila

>>6108357

Not sure. Doesn't seem like Mussolini exists in the setting. Hitler, Churchill, Roosevelt or Hirohito don't seem to be around either, although there is that one guy who looks kind of like Stalin.
Maybe in this setting Hitler got his scholarship and went on to get his master of fine arts degree and a college league marathon silver medal. Perhaps he went on to become a celebrated painted, famous for his cityscapes and mechanical designs, regarded as a pioneer both of art noir and pulp science fiction. Perhaps he lived a long, good, active life, leaving behind a treasure of art that would foster understanding and brotherhood among nations for years to come.

... naaah.

>>6108450
They still have the Kaiser around in SW universe.

Lucchini is a garbage witch and her episode was the shittiest of both seasons. /jp/ can have her.

>>6108450

Churchill exists. but without the first world war, the fascist and bolshevik governments never got off the ground, so Mousolinni, Stalin and Hitler wouldn't be in charge.

In any case, even if Mussolini was around, he wouldn't be in Romagna. He's from Northern Italy, so he would be Venezian. Salo Republic and all that. Italy is split in the SW world

>>6108450

Strike Witches are much better when you imagine that Hartmann is a nazi, Lucchini a fascist, Sanya a commie etc, and in Huso there is something like Unit 731 and they are making Strike Units there based on experiments on humans. Imagine like Stalin, Hitler, Mengele, Mussolini, Skorzeny, Eichmann, Himmler, Beria etc. - all the great heroes of IIWW - are united to fight Neuroi by equipping a bunch of loli witches with the most magnificent dieselpunk weaponry... this is better than Gensokyo.

>>6108450
I'm still waiting for Moses, Jesus and Mohammad, as well as all their followers, to return and take their revenges upon the Neuroi. Of course, this being Strike Witches, the miracle that returned them to life will leave them as young girls with an aversion to wearing pants.

Jesus will be the elegant onee-sama type defended by her flying vanguard of 12 Apostles, led by Peter. Mohammad, to avoid offending Muslims, will be permanently invisible (which means other characters will accidentally grope her since they can't see her. ) Moses will be closest to her real life version, generally wrecking shit with plagues until they agree to be befriended or are vaporized.

It'll be glorious.

>>6108491
Well, you got it wrong.

>>6108505
What about Buddha? I can imagine him becoming a cute, silent kuudere that never fights and keeps meditating all day.

>>6108505
IIRC Religion doesn't exist in the strike witches universe.

>>6108491
I like the way you think.

>>6108489
WWI occurred in the SWverse.

>1914 Outbreak of First Great War

>>6108489

There was a IWW and Orussia is definetly a socialist state because of the red star on Sanya's uniform. So there was Lenin.

Oh, and Karlsrand is the III Reich for sure, and not some mutation of Weimar republic. There were no Iron Cross order in Weimar republic.

>>6108518

Basically religion doesn't exist since witchcraft is a real scientific phenomenon, or something to that effect.

>>6108491

I kind of like where this is going.

>>6108527

they retconned that into a conflict between the neuroi and the humans. they talk about it on the first hie uta character album. Minnie Bishop, Lynne and Wilma's mother, is a veteran of that.

>>6108518

That's quite obvious after the 5th episode of SW2. But even before that I couldn't imagine a world of loli witches in sexy pants AND abrahamic religions. Either this or that.

>>6108528
No, Karlsland is still ruled by a Kaiser. So no republic, Iron Cross was introduced by king Friedrich Wilhelm.

Georgia is blasted to oblivion centuries ago = No Stalin
China is blasted to oblivion centuries ago = No testing grounds for Unit 731, no Nanking to rape
Judea is blasted to oblivion millenia ago = No Jews, no Lenin, no Marx, no Abrahamic religions

So no modest nun witch? That's terrible.

>>6108561
Why is there acutally additional landmass in the Americas? How did that happen?

>>6108450
I WAS MEANT TO BE RULER OF THE WORLD.

INB4 "And how did that go for ya?", "Look at the job you did", "Shit painter", "Invaded Russia", "Semitic lover".

>>6108561
>No Lenin

:(

>>6108450
Churchill does appear on SW.

>>6108561
why are Mio, Junko and Sanya all from Karlsland according to that picture?

>>6108491

Some tweaking, though. Even in Strike MADNESS OF WAR Witches, Hartmann and most of the German aces would probably still be politically apathetic, Sanya would be rather pathetic as far as communists go, and Beria - being Beria - would be way too busy stuffing dead people in his basement to care about alien invasion.

>>6108522

I don't care how cute he is. I'm still not playing doctor with this guy.

>>6108574


personally I'm more than okay with that

Please someone elaborate on SW politics. This is somehow confusing.

But anyway, I will still believe that Hartmann is a nazi loli. Nazi lolis are better than some stupid kaizer lolis.

>>6108569
I suspect pre-historic Neuroi hijinks
the fucking aliens are responsible for everything

>>6108537
Religion got hijacked ("strange incidents") by the Neuroi. Hence why the three would return for revenge.

>>6108574

If no Lenin then why the red star on Sanya's uniform? Tzar has clearly been overthrown.

>>6108596
Karlslanders are Nazis, with only the most subtle differences. I say this is close enough.

http://4chanarchive.org/

you know what to do

>>6108586
it's not place of origin, the where they're stationed in 1939, hence Mio and Takei in Libau

>>6108596
Sorry to disappoint you, Nazis unfortunately don't exist in SW. Same goes for Japanese Ultranationalists.

>>6108586

Mio, Junko, and Nishizawa Yoshiko were the Libau trio and spent most of their childhood in Libau where they assisted in Striker Development. Sanya is probably in Night Witch school. Before the war, she was in Vienna at a conservatory, not actually in Orussia.

>>6108605

because they chose to use the aesthetic. in any case, its not like Lenin was the first person to use a star as a symbol

>>6108609
>>>/b/

>>6108258
just play as taokaka in blazblue

>>6108619

So what, Tzar adopted the red star symbol? Nigga please.

>>6108258
>>6108629

delicious Chiwa Saito

>>6108619

Perhaps 1905 revolution succeeded. Some sort of Soviet union still got formed, but Lenin missed the boat.

>>6108596

Well... if that's what you're looking for, don't get your hopes up.
Keep in mind she's based on someone whose only political statement in a lifetime was stealing Hitler's hat while drunk.

"Germany" is ruled by a Kaiser. "Russia"'s form of government hasn't been revealed, but they've been shot to shit and chased all the way behind the Urals.

>>6108644

You know I don't mean nazis as in jew-hatin marxist-bashin nazis. I mean nazis as in Hugo Boss-wearing, super stylish, greatly-disciplined, ufo-making, antarctica-base-having cool nazis.

>>6108674
Call it as you want, it's still not true except for the uniforms.

Strike Witches should totally have cameos by Hitler the painter and Stalin the bank robber

>>6108605
it's a four-pointed comet

>>6108674
You forgot about the moon-base.

>>6108701
Those goddamn moon nazis

>>6108701

Erica Hartmann will be a Nazi UFO Commander in SW3.

>>6108674

Ahh, I see.

Although in all fairness, the blond knight was... a bit of a slob on the fashion side. And as far as discipline goes, for all his 350+ kills his biggest achievement is probably continuously fooling the entire war machine into thinking he answered to any authority but his own.

Which has a charm of its own, I guess.

>>6108729

>>6108561
One thing I don't understand is why they horribly disfigured the Americas. It serves no purpose.

>>6108787


to make it seem more alternate reality-ish. also, to give Liberion a good reason to take Vancouver Island (and the area south of the St. Lawrence) from Farawayland

>>6108787
IT'S MORE AMERICAN THAN AMERICA NOW

>>6108853
How can you say that? There's no Texas, California, or New York in neo America

>>6108945
It's star-shaped.

Dammit, now I'm picturing Nanoha as Moses.

>>6108987
I'd pirate it. Looks simple and fun.

>>6108987

not as terrible as this
