Miyafujesus is back

>>715

Do note that nor she or Mio has Strikers. But neither does the new arrival..

Doctor Miyafuji, calling it now. Or some sort of asspull like Miyafuji has a clone or sister or some shit.

;_;

Or another Fusoan character that has long hair.

The new witch kind of reminds me of Charlotte's (Africa) hair.

and 501 again...
yeah all 501 witches are cute, but seeing them for some forty episodes, honestly, is a bit boring...

<--- I was actually looking forward to this ;_;

I hope I can see some other witches in the movie...

>>728
It has been common knowledge for about 6 months that the movie will be about the 501st and that there would be at least one new/world witch. And that poster is about that movie coming in 2012, not new anime series.

>some forty episodes
24

>>729
I know it's a movie and I know it's 501...
Just want to say my feeling about that though...

>>24
Sorry, my mistake

>>730
Feel what you want, I want 502 for the third season, but whining for something that never had any chance of happening, like the movie being anything but 501, is pretty useless.

>>714
The big white text with the smaller text under it:
Strike Witches Movie

The vertical white text above the witches:
There's a place I want to return to...
(The kanji is "sky", but the furigana is "place", so it implies the place someone wants to return to is the sky)

>>733

It's most likely Kitagou Fumika.

>>785
I would highly disagree. The hair style is not the same, the ponytail, if it indeed is ponytail, is in different place and the only part of Fumika's hair that flows long is her ponytail, this which has multiple flowing hair thingies.
Also, she seems to be on the forefront with Yoshika, so she looks to be only slightly taller than her. Fumika is taller than that

Movie thread?
Random article from NyanType 11/11 linked to it.

No translation.

Ever!

Please, not another witch o Fuso, there is 35 witches from there, why not another country?

>>1144

I'm giving you the benefit of a doubt and assume you are a troll, wanting to hear the old "Japanese people putting Japanese characters into Japanese media aimed at Japanese media, how dare they ignore my glorious nation?!"

If not, think about this:
Can you name, let's say five, non-sci-fi or fantasy shows written and produced in your country of origin that are not set there and feature not a single character from your country in the main cast?

Now think a bit further, the 501st are THE official face of the franchise (a Japanese one mind you) and seeing where things left off at the end of the second season (Miyafuji out of the witchery business and Mio being oooooooooooooold) it should be more than obvious that they roll in another Fuso witch as replacement.
And if you want an in-universe explanation:
Fuso is one of the military superpowers in the universe and the 501st is THE best JFW there is. And without an active member to represent said power, it's obvious that they get another token Fuso witch. Every JFW has one.

So, let me ask you instead: Why shouldn't Japanese people put Japanese characters in Japanese shows aimed at Japanese people?

>>1145
>So, let me ask you instead: Why shouldn't Japanese people put Japanese characters in Japanese shows aimed at Japanese people?

Because the main Japanese character is an annoying Mary Sue who brings the show down?

>>1146

Tell me more about the movie, you seem to have already watched it.

>>1145
I agree with your reasoning, that there has to be at least one Fuso witch in 501, but it was quite rash of you to just assume he was trolling.
Many fans think that it would be nice to have some variety and characters from the smaller countries, but this person probably just hadn't thought about it from the politics of the universe like you did.

>>1147
I was talking about the show, and it's pretty clear that Yoshika is going to be the MC anyway.

Anyone getting what her name is?

服部静夏 Hattori(?) Shizuka
14 years old, student of the Imperial Fuso Navy Military Academy

>>1164
The discussion people are having in that link is mostly about how she would be Mio's pupil, I don't know if it's their speculation or does the article itself say that.
Someone joked it would be her

>>1167
And they seem to think she is based on Utou Kazushi http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%BE%BD%E8%97%A4%E4%B8%80%E5%BF%97

If that is correct, they also explained how her name was made: the family name is formally read Utou, but it can be read Hatou, and Hattori is a bit similar so that's why it was picked. And Shizuka is just an anagram of Kazushi

Great, with this new witch, we have 36 witches from Fuso and Britannia and Gallia are the nations with less witches from the principal real countries that participated in the WWII.

>>1169

Being allied with the nation that threw nukes at them sure payed of for them, eh?

>>1169
If I had to guess, this is because it's made in Japan.

Kind of like how 3/4 of the captains in Star Trek are from the United States.

>>1159

Already fanart.
Go Fuso!

>>1186
Damn that was fast.
