Road to Berlin Photo Update
Hi everyone,
I'm the person that did most of the initial work for the Road to Berlin episodes and I plan to upload some Blu-ray versions shots of each of the episodes when I can. Am in the middle of graduate school and other projects but I will do what I can to get them up when I can. If there are other edits to those episodes, feel free to do so. I am always open to improvements. I also plan to help improve the Brave Witches episode pages by flushing them out and writing out their references. Hopefully it won't take too long to get it done.

Editing Work
I've been doing some more editing work lately, (classes are finished and I need something to do during quarantine) and I've found some interesting things to note. Firstly, the way I've been editing has just been hitting "Random page" and seeing where it takes me, hence why all my recent edits are pretty random. I did stumble across a pattern while editing older articles though. I'm not sure who originally wrote the older stuff, but they didn't have the best grasp of grammar. A lot of the info is plagued with overuse of semicolons, with them often replacing commas and sometimes being used without any reason at all. They also confused "it's" and "its" a lot, and there were a lot of run-on sentences and weird sentence structures. I've been go…
Suggestions among other things.
I have a suggestion if I may, that we perhaps consider a new background for the wiki. The png in the corner is a neat idea, but I feel it doesn't really fit the tone of a wiki well and the sky blue background can be a little harsh on the eyes imo, especially when reading for long periods of time and contrasting with white. I think it may be a good idea to perhaps have one featuring 501 using some RTB art as with the anime coming out we are going to have interest spikes with newbies checking the series out, and they'd be more likely to pay attention if they see something familiar at a glance. Most casual witch fans are completely unaware of Afrika outside of Marseille.
Also as well, a monthly feature of a random non 501 witch on the front …
Grammar sure is a thing.
Oh boy, where do I even begin..? I figured that a lot of the witches with less content (I.E. with only light novels and/or manga) would have some poor formatting and grammar errors here and there, but I wasn't prepared for the sheer number of them. I don't pretend to be an English major, but I do write in my spare time, and I can recognize blatantly poor grammar when I see it. It looks like a lot of the wiki has been poorly translated from something else, especially parts of 501's pages.
I just finished fixing Sanya's and about half of Erica's, and god damn... Between labeling Erica as both "it" and "himself", the constant messy sentences, seemingly contradictory personality descriptions for Erica, and lines I've literally seen copied in ot…
Time to get to work!
Hello everyone, I'm Shio, though a few people affectionately refer to me as Don. I've been a fan of the series for... Not very long, a friend of mine got me into it this Summer. I actually started with Noble Witches, which was... Not a fantastic decision, but I did enjoy it greatly, so I started watching Strike Witches. I've currently finished most of the media aside from the last few episodes of Brave Witches, the OVAs, and a few light novels. I figured due to an apparent skill with writing, as well as tons of time to spare, I'd give the wiki some love and edit some of the articles, since there's a lot of grammatical errors in most of them. Hopefully I don't bug anyone, but if I do, or if you desperately want me to alter an article or som…
Strike Witches x Alice Gear Aegis
Slightly old news but definitely still worth mentioning. There's been an ongoing event for mobile game Alice Gear Aegis, featuring a crossover with Strike Witches to help promote Road to Berlin! During the past month Yoshika and Lynette have been featured as playable characters within the game, and now more recently Erica and Trude has been introduced as well! The plot of this event has also hinted that future 501st members may also one day arrive, but we'll see. The gameplay and setting of AGA is actually very similar to Strike Witches; flying mecha musume waifus shooting bad things and so on. For those that did not know, artist Shimada Fumikane had also helped with the character designs and in-game artwork of AGA which is pretty neat! AG…
Strike Witches x War Thunder
Announced back in July, there was a crossover event between Strike Witches and the popular online vehicular combat game called War Thunder! Various skins were introduced.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOuWoYKf35g
While this was very cool, sadly you could only access these skins if you played through DMM.net (eww) and if you weren't a dirty Westerner! Theres other complications, so yeah it's too bad... but hey any publicity for World Witches is fine by me! That being said... I figured this could maybe be worth mentioining somewhere on the wiki? Just cause its an event thats related to the series. Although I have no idea where to even mention this, so I decided to post it in a blog! Either way, I doubt anyone will read this... but h…

Welp, it's being dubbed on May 8th. Thought I'd point this out, not that good at editing pages so I'll just post this and let others handle the editing.
Oh god what am I dong?
I barely even remember how to operate this thing and everything has changed in the six years since I was last active. What am I even doing?
Well, I tried. TwT

- I decide to ask them about the Strike Witches movie, gets absolutely no response*
....Oki. TwT *goes back to corner*
Completely wrong page
So, yeah, this page here:
http://strikewitches.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Strike_Witch
I object to many inaccuracies, but most glaringly...
THIS: "Strike Witches are women with high magic potential."
AND THIS: "Called Strike Witches (sic)hiding(sic) witches who are in the military. 'Strike Witches "are talented girls aged 12-14 years, with great potential."
Strike Witches is the Unit Designation of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing.
It is not a catch-all name for any Witch in the military.
Strike Witches is also the name of the franchise, with appropriate subtitles for stories not involving the 501st JFW
I won't critizise the broken English since it is obviously not the editors native language, but there are MANY inaccuracies within the page itself. May I…

Otome no Maki Translation
Chapters from the six Otome no Maki novels will be translated sporadically when I feel like it. There will be a bias towards Eila and Sanya, and then to new material that isn't in the Anime. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions here.
For these, I will be preserving name suffixes (san/chan/etc). In the Misfits novels, it's all 少尉 this, and 中尉 that, so the odd extra suffix is just assimilated into inflection.
Note; the third Misfits novel is already under way, so don't worry about that.
- Volume 2
- Chapter 2: TBA (twice as long as the Misfits chapters).
- Intermission 1: Novelisation of the opening to S1E7. All the things described can be seen in Eila's room throughout the episode (I wouldn't blame anyone for missing the statue, considering...)
- I…
Future Translation Projects
Well, I was browsing Amazon, and went on a bit of a spending binge. I bought all six of the Otome no Maki novels (partly a novelization of the anime, but with some other stories), and the novelized version of the recent movie (again, an expansion on the anime, apparently giving Eila and Sanya more scenes).
There are a couple of other books I'd like to work on (things like; 'Beyond the Fox Whistle, and Kitsune no Hanashi), but I haven't decided for sure what to do after the third Misfits novel.
So what would people be most interested in reading?
Suomus Misfits translation
The current translation rate seems to be working out, so I'll aim to release a chapter every month or so. Schedule is out of the window (in the good way). If there is going to be a long delay, I'll leave a message about it on my talk page.
Feedback and comments are welcome.
Volume 2
- Chapter 3; Needs a few corrections when I have the time.
- Chapter 4; Although I usually like to see suffixes preserved, I have decided not to do this with 'Onee sama' (which is what Ahonen has told her squadron to call her). The reason being that they're supposed to be speaking English anyway, and all the other suffixes have been translated as P/O,F/O etc. In any case I think hearing someone say 'big sis' in English is probably about as rare as 'Onee sama' is in Japa…
Strike Witch Movie Script
I know this is rather early, since the movie just came out on DVD a week ago, but I was wondering if anyone would be able to provide a script of the movie. It doesn't even have to be in english, just some form of written dialogue for the movie.
I don't know how many of you are familiar with the japanese language, but I certainly am not, especially not verbally. It would be greatly appreciated if this request was acknowledged. Thank you.
Strike witches 2 DS ending translation request
No one will probaly see this but could someone translate the endings to Strike witches 2 DS. I've been dying to know what they mean.
Jet Aces
In strike witches I see normal prop driven striker units shouldn't start adding some jet aces like Helma Lennartz there may be a shortage of witches who can use the jet strikers?
strike witches movie
so far i have found the promo poster for the movie but no new information I found the poster (concept poster) on the official Strike Witches website http://s-witch.cute.or.jp/movie/ so far i dont know what the poster says but i do know its being releses at spring of 2012
Suomus Misfits novel translations
Should have the remainder of the first novel finished in 1-2 weeks. This is good, as I think volume 2 is probably the best of the three and the only one I've actually read fully, so expect a quicker translation (hopefully). As for the third novel...that's probably about 50% Tomoko getting 'shot down'.
Also, once I've finished translating the files I uploaded to Mediafire from Engrish to English I'll try put them on the wiki to make things easier for everyone. If you've already read the translations I uploaded it might be worth reading the new ones, because it turns out I missed a lot of sentences and just generally didn't bother making any sense.
Sorry it's taken so long, hopefully we can have all three novels translated by 2012.
SW Director Kazuhiro Takamura about the future of the SW anime
――「ストライクウィッチーズ」の今後の展開はいかがでしょうか?
アニメの「ストライクウィッチーズ」では、宮藤と坂本の物語をつづりたい
と思っていました。2期ではその部分を描ききることができたのがよかっ
たと思います。今後となると、やはりファンの皆さんの声しだいと言うこ
とになるのでしょうか。もっと彼女たちの物語を見たいという応援をいただ
けたのなら、スケジュールと相談して、前向きに検討したいと思います(
笑)。
--What does the future hold for Strike Witches?
In the animated series, I wanted to follow the story of Miyafuji and Sakamoto. I'm glad we were able to complete that story with the second season. The future is up to the fans, really. If we get messages of encouragement from people saying they want to see more of the witches, we'll consult our schedules and see if we might be able to make that happen. (laugh)

Humikane Tweets about the Witch Doctor
#8 女医さんは20代後半独身 声優さんへの演技プランとして、監督が台本にメモっていた情報
"She's in her late 20s and single."
It's a note the director wrote on the script for directing seiyuu's acting.
女医さんはおそらく501基地付で、基本ウィッチ専属かな ウィッチに男医はまずかろうし、逆に一般兵相手だと仮病が続出しそう
She's probably assigned to the 501st's base as a doctor basically exclusive for witches .
(Because) a male doctor would be inappropriate, and also if she were for standard soldiers, they would be lining up with faked illnesses.
Huikane on Eila's bump and Sanya's pout
エイラのタンコブは慌てて飛び上がった時にベッド上段に頭ぶつけて出来た
もの、のはず 明確に書いてないのでサーニャの拳骨でもそれはそれで面
白いし
Eila probably got her bump on the head when she leaped up in surprise and hit her head on the top bunk of the bed. It's not really shown, so it could be the result of Sanya's fist too. That's also a fun way to interpret it.
悶絶してるエイラを見てサーニャは一回毒気ぬけてるはずなんだけど、それ
でも後のシーンでプンスカしてたのはなぜか、とか考えても面白い
Seeing Eila faint in agony should have calmed Sanya down, yet in the following scene, she still seemed a little annoyed. Thinking about why that is could also be fun.
面白い、カワイイと思う方にとればいいですよ、僕のは僕の見方なので
You should always try to interpret thing in ways that are fun, or cute. My way of taking things is just my way of taking things.

Humikane on conventional weapons vs. Neuroi
humikane: 通常兵器でネウロイを破壊するのは不可能ではないが困難、と以前書いた。これは言い直したい 困難ではあるが不可能ではないと その方が燃える
It's not impossible to destroy Neuroi using conventional weapons, but, it is difficult, as I've written previously. I'd like to restate it. It's difficult, but not impossible -- and that way is more exciting.
humikane: まー艦砲射撃効かないようなのは、ネウロイさん基準でも規格外の化け物なので・・・
Well, if a ship bombardment doesn't work, then even among Neuroi it's unusual and monstrous.

Interview with Humikane from Nyantype vol.6
Translated by >>35687690, will upload the scan in a few weeks unless someone does it for me.
Q1: How did you come up with the idea for the 'pants' that almost has become a symbol for the franchise?
- It just naturally turned out that way when I was doing the character designs. I never had the intention to try to surprise anyone by making it as it is. It was rather I who was surprised by large audience it attracted. (laugh). I thought it was just natural to use the same designs in the anime. However, even if the viewers first get attracted to the show because they want to see pants, I hope they also will take interest in the story once they're hooked.
Q2: So, is girls fighting in mechas your fetish?

This little scan talks about the first few episodes of the second season. The same information is also somewhere on the Newtype magazine homepage. Here are some of the juicy bits:

Training episode! As Yoshika, Lynne and Perrine haven't had any combat experience in six months, they are sent to an island where it's back to the basics for them.
Trude is proud of a "secret weapon incorporating new technology" straight out of Karlsland, but Shirley issues a challenge to her.
Speculation: It seems likely that said new technology is the Jet Striker.

MG-42 (Maschinengewehr 42) as featured in Strike Witches
Saving this little tidbit because its time to let the rest of the entry die
The MG-42 is used by a number of witches. In the 501st JFW, It is used by Trude, Erica, Minna and Eila. The MG-42 as depicted in the series is slightly but significantly different than the weapon as it actually was; it uses a saddle drum magazine based on that of the MG-15 (This is similar in apperance to a Beta C-mag). Aircooled variants of the MG-15 were issued by the Luftwaffe with this type of magazine. However, the MG-15 is a top feeding system while the MG-42 feeds from the side; the saddle-drum type magazine blocks the ejection port of the weapon.
