Thank you for the insight in anti-neuroi warfare 
This manga is lying around in my room, I should really read it. |

The movie is the one animated part of the franchise that I haven't seen, which may be why I wasn't aware of the ground forces. Pretty sure I've seen the OVAs but I don't remember them from that.
And apologies one the Haruki vs. Hikari thing. Must be getting my series mixed up.

It's all good 
Today's review was much better, and I agree with it being the best thus far. It seems like next week Hikari will get a bit more involved, as it doesn't look like another character-themed episode. Then again, the 7th episode in Strike Witches has always been that kind, if you catch my drift

I appreciated the insights on the real life characters that Sasha and Nipa are based on. Thanks, Key!

The Witches of Africa must use their magic to keep their skin from being sandblasted from the desert sands.

Does anyone know if they hide their shoes in their strikers?
I'm not being sarcastic but it really stood out this episode that they always seem to have their shoes on when not using their strikers yet season 1 and 2 of strike witches made a point of showing that they must fly barefoot. |

When did you see that? I remember them being barefoot whenever they take their striker unit off. They put their shoes next to their unit rack in the depot. Also, no they are not supposed to be able to bring their shoes with them when they are flying. |

Yes in strike witches they are barefoot however that does not seem to be the case with brave witches which is why I am confused. In episode 6 spoiler[Sasha crashes about 15:14 and she is shown with shoes on while in the town. Then about 19:50 when nipa-san blocks the artillery barrage her head is in sasha's lap and sasha is again with shoes on.] Which really got me thinking in episode 4 spoiler[Hikari and two others got stranded during that blizzard however all 3 of them have shoes on the moment you see them without their strikers on.] But in episode 3 spoiler[When Hikari is trying to climb the tower to claim the hat she is barefoot.] |

Because it puts a drain on their magical powers, I'm guessing? However small that might be, when they are mandatory -- and the sole resource for battling Neuroi -- I'm guessing they're discouraged from wasting them idly. As far as the Christmas festival aspect thing goes, I rather liked it. It was laid out as a pretty traditional thing, but the episode never beat us over the head with it or rolled out a lot of lame "if you do this and this, you'll be happy forever" cliches. I very rarely like anime Christmas episodes, so to me, this was one of the better ones. (On average, I mean,) |

She was only listed in the credits as "Britannia Witch". She could be one of few Witches already in canon without a previous character design, but even if that's not the case I really hope we see more of her. |

the adult grape juice thing isa meta joke, sicne those kind of series, due ot the age of the characters, don't/can't show them drinking; that's more of a amgazine editor thing than an actual law, afaik; since some other series poke fun at that, like a tank girls manga having an "absolutely grape juice" label hosddily pasted over the actual label of a bootle of wine and all the girls get drunk (though this one manga is published in a seinen magazine).

The series has been using CGI since episode 1. You can see it in both the OP and ED, too.
That, the BD's delay and that one episode that was delayed a few weeks ago show that SL just have too many productions going on. They just finished Prisma Illya 3rei (easily Prisma's most action heavy season, Also, the first one to be 12 episodes instead of 10) and Ange Vierge last season. And besides BW, SL's confirmed productions (that I know of are): Chaos;Child, Masamune-kun's revenge (both for next season), the Prisma Illya movie, the anniversary project and Busou Shoujo Machiavelism. So, yep, SL are clearly being given too many projects, so it stands to reason some would suffer because of it. |

A lot, if not most, of the scenes where you'd see the witches from a distance (up to semi-close) has been done in CG. This was done in the original two Strike Witches series too.

Never noticed it before... But it was really apparent this week as the characters were badly off-model and practically a decade back in appearance. |

Was laughing so much when all three of their units started malfunctioning after the fight.
