![]() That being a show where all girls are best girls essentially.Īlthough not as good as the other parts of this series in a whole it is still an excellent addition to the franchise with an ending that was exactly what you wanted and more.Īs a continuation of the story, we already know this just takes off where others have left and pushes forward with the conflict. Sanya remains our queen with Eila accompanying but Shizuka has made a strong entrance into the best girl league. It has some real great memorable moments and is great entertainment, but one wishes that they'll do more plotwise with later seasons/spinoffs. RtB is a great sequel that's everything you'd want but unfortunately doesn't do that much to truly innovate or stand out on its own. The series is always better with the episodic SoL comedy stuff than it is with the action and Neuroi stuff. Still, more Strike Witches means more Hasshin Shimasu so I ain't complaining much. The timeline even progressed to 1946 with large swarths of the world still Neuroi-infested. Shizuka is useless and I dearly miss Mio's laughter.Īgain, we receive little to no new information on the Neuroi, seeing as more information about them or allusions to a peace with them would mean the end of the series, and Lord knows the Production committee doesn't want to lose their golden goose. Sanya/Eila's episode is fine if not as strong as before, Perriene's episode was surprisingly good, and Lynne's focus in Episode 7 is fantastic, even if she is shafted otherwise. As mentioned earlier the Karlsland girls (especially Trude) steal the spotlight in this, but my favourite episode, as usual, is the Shirley/Lucchini bonding episode. Thankfully the rest of the girls fare much better, especially in their spotlight episodes. I can't believe we traded in Mio for this. Yoshika's Jesus Complex is still there, and while Shizuka does receive some form of character development that makes her less bitchy, that just means she becomes even more useless than she was in the movie. ![]() At the very least, now, the military (in the mainline series) is finally shown to be at least somewhat competent, taking down some Neuroi or another with some degree of success, even if they still need MiyafuJesus to save their asses in the end. Thankfully gone is the formulaic "Miyafuji takes a boat ride to Europe that lasts two episodes while the Navy is useless, and the girls take down the Neuroi-fused superweapon of the season that was previously thought to be a good idea". Traditionally episodes 1,2,11,and 12 are the weakest episodes since they're the only plot-focused episodes with Miyafuji as the center, and here they still are the weakest episodes, but even then they're still vastly improved compared to their S1 and S2 counterparts. counterparts, and the girls look fantastic in HD. The action scenes and 3D models look as good as, if not better than their movie The animation noticeably received a huge bump even before the BDs are out. Road to Berlin is exactly what you'd want and expect from a Strike Witches sequel, and apart from Shizuka's existence, it delivers on every front. However, if you need more convincing, the rest of the review is there for you. That line should be enough to convince you to watch what I consider to be the best season of Strike Witches to date (excluding Hasshin Shimasu, which is untouchable). Yoshika readily agrees and, together with Shizuka, departs for Europe from Yokosuka.However, unknown to her, the Neuroi are once again on the move.Trude punches an Su-57 with her goddamned fists. Still determined to do what she can to help others, she returns to her homeland of Fusou and studies medicine.During this time, she is visited by Fusou Naval Cadet Hattori Shizuka who offers Yoshika the opportunity to study in Europe. With their immediate duty complete, the 501st is disbanded, and its member witches return to their respective countries.One of these witches is Miyafuji Yoshika who had lost her magic powers in the battle for Romagna. At the forefront of this war are teenage girls who can use magic, called "Witches", whose powers are enhanced via the use of equipment called "Striker Units".The year is now 1945, and the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, commonly known as the Strike Witches, have just successfully defended Gallia and Romagna from Neuroi depredations. ![]() Plot Summary: Since ancient times, humanity has been in conflict against an otherworldly enemy called "Neuroi". ![]()
