How did they manage to make this so fucking boring?

Copy paste of S1 formula and NIPPON BANZAI

The Russian Front was pretty bleak in WWII.
There just aren't many sexy fights to recreate, as opposed to where the Strike Witches were stationed.
Hikari is fucking useless.
By this point, Yoshika was solo killing Neuroi.
>>150157232
S3 ecchi.
>>150157232
you see any males in that pic?
pick your waifu. in the end it's just another cute-girls show meant to milk maximum money from the lonely otaku crowd.
it wasn't really made to be entertaining. that's not a prerequisite for the target audience. they'll gobble down even the worst garbage (idols, anime where the source material is a 4koma school setting, etc)
>>150157553
s1 and s2 where fun. This is just a boring slog so far
>>150157377
If it was copy pasted, it'd at least be fun if unoriginal. This is like they cropped out the fun parts.
ITT /u/ndesirables mad the girls aren't scissoring 24/7
>>150157232
But it's much better than Strike was.
The heroine is not shit, which is extremely important, and the battles are more fun.
Episode 4 in particular gave Hikari more characterisation than Yoshika's gotten in two seasons and a movie.
>>150157232
They could add puffy vulva close-ups.

There's a vending machine where I work. When it was installed a year ago, it had all name brand chips, candy, and pastries. Recently, all the good stuff was replaced with off-brand generic stuff which doesn't taste as good, but they kept the same prices.
That's what watching Brave Witches feels like.
>>150157232
They didn't want to take any risk but they policed themselves too much so it ended up being bland.
>>150157232
How did you manage to ignore the threads that have answered your question few dozen times by now over the past few weeks?
Grown up fox when?
>>150159511
I'm hoping something happens and she shows up like that at least just once.
>>150157232
Face it, the franchise's charm is dead.
Strike Witches was quite unique, and that was what made the series interesting, if not pretty stupid looking.
Now it's just another series that has overstayed its welcome, and is just chugging along copy pasting everything from the original.
>>150159612
She's gotta get lewd at some point
I like Hikari more as a MC but everything else is just bland and the characters are forgettable as fuck.
>>150159489
I only just watched the first two episodes and was avoiding threads
>>150157232
Rall, Rossmann, and Sasha are Minna clones. Georgette and Sadako are Lynne clones. Waltrud isn't as fun to watch as Erica. Hikari is a genderswapped MC from a shitty magical high school LN.
By not puting what they did into the first series.
>>150157232
I thought S1 was the most boring piece of shit ever and the fanservice is not good enough to save it.
I just enjoy the show by fapping to the ero pics
>>150159882
Why are you complaining about boredom then with only the first two episodes watched? Not that it changes much, the first four episodes are just meh and then it gradually builds up. The last two episodes have been good, but next episode is already the 8th.. You're special kind of silly for not just checking the archives then when you feel like catching up with info, or realizing things by yourself or waiting for next Wednesday.
>>150157232
I literally waited for this for years and it never came. I prayed and hyped for it during the old SW generals, hoping it a 502 anime announcement would come and it never did.
Now that it's here, I have zero motivation to continue watching after one episod.e
Fuck
>>150159364
That's actually a pretty accurate comparison anon.
>>150159364
But anime is free
>>150157232I enjoy it.
Totally lost interest after the pillar climbing episode.
I never really got invested in the first cast and I'm okay with it. Hikari is a more compelling protagonist than Yoshika, the girls feel less paired off than before, and I don't really care about the lack of explicit fanservice. I think people have forgotten how slow the first season started too. But it's a shame that the OVAs were so good and this feels like back to the basics. The format feels like they're building up to a fun second cour with all these introductory episodes, but as far as I know we're not getting that.

>the characters are forgettable as fuck
The 502 is second most popular JFW, right after the 501. The anime just hasn't captured their charm. Their twitter story was better than this.
The characters just don't seem to be as fun and unique as the Strike Witches. And the show doesn't take any chances, there's nothing to get excited about, no hook, no moments that make me go "holy shit I gotta know what happens next week". It's just character introductions every episode.
Both shows did some things better than the other.
>>150160880
Well said. 502nd is a great cast but the writing, production and SL just failed to do it right completely. Nothing is like the ep6 of both seasons were, aka the best shit ever made that god blood pumping and tears flowing.
Alternate Fuso uniforms when? Enough with the fucking school swimsuit
>>150160989
Not in this season, you should be able to grasp that much. If lucky, we get a image of some witches in it in the ep12 credits roll.
>>150160989
After we get a cast with a Fuso army witch.
>>150160989
Kunika has that, but I don't want Noble Witches ruined by them animating it. If they stick to adapting the novels it could turn out okay, I guess.
>>150157232
I already like it better compared to when I first watched SW S1 desu senpai.
>>150160981
There's also not as much /k/ and /his/ fanservice, or it just isn't as neat the third time around.
>>150161058
Give me a Fuso Incident OVA with nothing but these delicious outfits
>>150160772
Hikari is a more compelling protagonist than Yoshika, but that's because they've spent much more screen time on Hikari so far than they had on Yoshika up to the similar point.
On the other hand, the rest of the 501st was much better developed and more interesting by episode 7, whereas in Brave Witches I can't even remember half of them because they've had absolutely no impact on the show whatsoever.
In an ensemble show designed around a group, it's bad to focus so exclusively on one character that you ignore the rest. But that's what Brave Witches has been doing ,which is why it's harder to give a shit about it.
