By the way, ever watched Strike Witches? Well, it's an anime, about a group of mahou shoujo fighting aliens in the sky with no pants but panties and magic. Most otaku people would know this anime by this trademark - striped pants (not to be confused with K-ON! Mio's)
Recently, I got a chance to relive my semester holiday by watching its movie. For starters, the story tells two months after the last event in the Second Season.
Warning : If you haven't watch this yet, this counts as a spoiler. I'd concur that you watch it first before get back here.
Yoshika Miyafuji, the main character of the story, has lost her power during the liberation of Venezia (Watch Second Season, or this may be another spoiler for you!). For some time, she spent her times catching up studies and such back in Fuso. Then, her life intervenes once more with these Witches as she met along Mio Sakamoto's student, Shizuka Hattori.
Keep notes that meanwhile in Europe, in different lands, other veterans of 501st Strike Witches had their lives haven't intervene with Yoshika yet.
Shizuka came to her, bearing a news that Yoshika is going to study abroad at one of the prestigious medical schools on European land. Delighted, she decided to take up her offer and took on another sea voyage to Europe.
Shizuka Hattori, for one, considers Yoshika as one of the respectable figure. However, her expectation of her to Yoshika wears off a bit as she finds her to be easygoing, carefree, and rendered ignorant to army's order. She finds her annoying to help the ship crews cooking and such. But somehow, despite her nature of against army rank order, she saved a crew from being killed in an incident inside that ship, despite Captain's order.
Soon after, the ship arrives at Gallia. Lynette and Perrine, the members of the 501st, have anticipate them for long. Yoshika stayed a night in Perrine's castle, and moved on to their destination the next day.
Their journey was delayed for one day as they met along a villager in distress, telling them about landslides that have cost them some injuries on their folks. They continued their journey the next day, only to get themselves being suddenly attacked by the incoming Neurois from the ground.
That's when the climax went. Every souls from 501st met up there, and all of a sudden, Yoshika regains her power once more!
I missed lots of important parts to get to this point, but that doesn't matter. Watching it matters. Later I'll post some screenshots about it.
The story ends with that Neuroi flagship breaks apart thanks to 501st Strike Witches Joint Fighters legendary JFW. Even Mio joined the party, despite her loss of power. More Neuroi threats are incoming, so what I know about it next is that :
This gonna be a legendary. The third season is coming up! I don't know when, but I'll wait for it. Matteru!!!!!!
