Now that the movie has finally been released, I thought we could talk about the dub. I'm sure i'm not the only one who here is a fan of the dub. If you liked the dub, what stands out to you?Honestly, I was pretty disappointed in the film. Most of the characters didn't seem to fit back in their roles. In the original dub, Leigh Cherami played Yoshika as a lovable spaz, which made her pretty endearing. But in the film, she just sounded so generic. Erica, Perrine, and especially Minna really didn't fit. I still don't know if I should blame lazy acting or bad writing (yes, the film itself is also poorly written). On the other hand, the Trude and Shirley VO's were solidly on point as usual. And Lucchini, who was my least favorite during the series, somehow was one of my favorites in the movie. Go figure.
>>12047In reality she would be speaking English with an authentic German accent, and probably just German in the scenes with other Karlslanders. I'm not saying they should have made the dub that way, but it's the case none the less. Basically we can assume that we don't know most of the witches' 'true voice'.Regarding the second point, American actors doing bad foreign accents would appeal to most people for the comedy aspect, which would set it apart from normal boring dubs at the very least.
>>12047>Whenever American VAs try to do foreign accents, they sound terrible.Not what I said
It kind of annoyed the hell out of me that Shizuka kept switching between calling superior officers "Sir" and their rank.
Break Witches episode, now with new member Hikari.
>>12014Wow, that makes the cgi models and action look even worse than it already is. Like it comes out now really obvious how poor quality the models are. Also for opening, what they did is just why tier.>>12023I'm sorry you feel that planes are ''boring old'' to you. Especially when the S1 neurois were the absolute best in design and historical references department and this is about real life aces as witches fighting them in aerial combat.Episode 9 neuroi was the most why tier so far in this entire season. There's nothing good to its design or how it acted out as a foe.
>>12024Yeah, I find the neuroi that are designed off of real military aircraft (especially modern aircraft) look much more sinister. Something about that familiar, yet unfamiliar look. I have to agree, the neuroi this season are pretty 'meh' because of that.
Looks like Projekt World Witches needs to collaborate with Project Aces so we'll able to see a Neuroified heavy command cruisers & the UAVs..
One of 4chan /u/'s veteran fanfic writers decided to pick up strike witches and put out an early concept of what the story will be based on.http://pastebin.com/p4F1gU9MThe characters scheduled to make up the 567th are pic relatedI'm running around and spreading the word because I like this author's work a lot and actually want this one to get made and not be forgotten. Tell me what you think, I'll make sure to get any complaints and suggestions back to the writer!I didn't see anything in the rules about fanfic not being allowed but if this is frowned upon here, I'll delete it.
So, how bout it?Delicious bed hair Krupi at least from Fumi.
>>11973All that mattered this episode.Also Krupi is really growing on me for her drinking tendencies. Bro tier girl booze and cute witches.
> tfw you'll never have a cute British Witch tending to your injuries
All these years, Krupi managed to hide her breasts so well with the clothes, that or Fumi and the animation team decided to 'magic boost' her too. They really rival Shirley's shirleys if not bigger actually.
An OK episode IMO, went by a little fast, loved the little cameo though.
Finally got over the initial disappointment and watched latest 6 episodes.I just can't enjoy this, no matter how much I want to. Overreliance on CG, poor animation, worse fight scene direction than ever before and the shoehorned MC will never stop feeling out place. Kill me.
One more day until the next episode.I think I love Edytha's reactions to Krupi's antics as much as I love the antics themselves. Next ep should be great.
>>11970We just gotta do what we have and enjoy the little bits there's to it, while accepting the negatives.>>11971That Edy face is really amusing at least.
Let's discuss the Sasha and Nipa episode.What did you guys think of it?So far the best episode with least Hikari around to meddle Sasha and Nipa moments.
what the fuck is with these neuroi designs
I loved Sasha in this one, her loli appearance even more so.When she was feeling down because of the other kid's reaction, it really made me feel sad for her. I hope she had the chance to make up with them.Also, Nipa continues to grow on me more and more. She's hands down my favourite 502nd witch now, even though I was focused on the Karlsland girls in the beginning.Apart from that, the Neuroi design this season is a bit weird to say the least, but I'm not complaining about that, as it brings a bit of variety.The CGI on the other hand is a disgrace and makes those fights very unmemorable and bland.
>>11929It's not like she doesn't have a cool and serious personality still, but that doesn't mean she isn't swayed by emotions. She's a good girl.>>11933Magic. The town neuroi was goofy, not really sure what to make of its design. The artillery neuroi was just lame weird big thing with a projectile cannon that shoots explosive spearheads. The whole artillery thing was cool though.>>11942Nipa is and has been the best 502nd, now six years in a row.
4chan /tg/ here, trying to run a game, looking for any setting info I can get. It's a pain in the ass trying to piece it together with what little I can find on my own. Any help would be nice. Thanks.
>>11920Well, I assume you already use the SW wiki for information about the countries which pretty much have the rough information written out.As for Balkan region, I don't think that has been covered ever in the franchise.The first big thing to know I guess is that Ostmark was the country that got hit hardest by the neuroi in the early stages of war and eventually fell into ruins and rubble with millions dying and the rest evacuating elsewhere. And other countries didn't really give a shit about them till the neuroi advanced to west and east.Also China is a huge uninhabited wasteland for some very Japanese reason. There's also a huge fantasy island in the Pacific full of resources and shit for the Fuso empire to be the world police.
I don't suppose you lot have translated humikane's tweets?
>>11936There are translated tweets in the Fumikane twitter thread; >>406
Blunt head trauma
>>11891Jack Churchill would smile at that solution to this weeks' Neuroi problem I'm sure.
>You will never share your body heat in a blizzard with a couple of witchesThe pain.Another enjoyable episode this week. Anon above is right, the CG use was much more tolerable this time around, but even aside from that is was a fun watch.Pic related had me chuckle.
>>11903I half expected her to pull a Mina and actually enjoy it.
Same shit different week
>>11858They will be towel-less for the BD's, right? Right?>>11861So many feet shots in this episode.
>>11873Well, Eilanya & Yoshika are still wearing their towels in the S1 E6..
>>11876Yeah, but they got the sauna thing right for S2 properly from the start, even without BD's.S1 I'd understand having a lack of information regarding northern saunas.

>>11854Nice dump. I did a quick job of removing the edges and splitting it into single pages and put it up in the goddess so it doesn't get lost again.Also here but it won't last: https://0x0.st/2Z3.zip
>>11857Thank you very very very much!!!!*huuugs* :D
>>11855>Where did you get them from?I have this whole folder of Nogami Takeshi works.Was honestly surprised to see that I had the translated version there. Can't really remember where I got it from. I think it was from one of those dead SW archives? I dunno.
