8 was indeed good.

I wondered where they were going with her troubles. I kinda like where it went.

Ep 09 the usual required 'beach' episode arrives.

But it was not quite so much as it might be in other series where the girls routinely have more on :)

Nice story in the show though.

. Objection: from a military point of view. We live this every days of our lives!
Spoiler :
.. indeed, there was a beach involved but the message being presented "is" a
hard-one to express. Many who serve in our Armed-Forces see Bridges, Houses, and Homes
destroyed while those Cowards use people to hide behind as Shields. No-one thinks about
the damages they are causing while everybody focus's on the people who are killed. Its
a shame that the true casualty in war is always "The Truth."

. The truth is out there; you'll be forced into it -- someday! BTW, what color is your parachute?

. This was a nice attempt to show that people are human and yet they purposely applied
the most lenient example they could fine and then spoiled it all by saying "money"

. In the end, the people built another bridge to make the crossing and the little girl was
happy -- which is another burden people are now placing on the Governments Shoulders;
"your troops destroyed it, now whose going to replace it?" .. ..

. things take time .. and no matter if its personnel or actual, sometimes .. there are no funds available!
(( and yet again, the people scream, "fix it but don't raise our taxxes." ! ))

After seeing 10 just now, hmm man that is some nice artwork on those ships in the one sequence.

And yeah, the dogfight scene was good for the usual reasons :)

Spoiler :
age has a way of catching-up, even two a witch.
It seem some of the magic items drain her of reserve powers!

Ya I went into ep 11 pretty much assuming the show would conclude with my thinking it would be a long week waiting for the second part.

.. I know what I'd love to see, but it may be too much to hope for;

.. an ending which was proper and respectful with a story twist .. sorta like
how they wrapped-up the final episode of "Sora No Woto" ( K-on @ war ) ^__^
.. .. we need an icon of someone whose guilty and whistling .. ..
.. when you know the reason why; citizens -- we fight for what is right! ..

Happy happy gushing positivity and all that. 12 should have been ep 11 with 5 more minutes maybe.

And in at the very end, you see a striker and a sword washed up on a shore?

It's a sword, how the hell does a sword wash up on a beach? Hey, girls flying around with propeller driven leggings and looking like furries with an aversion to wearing lower outerwear is easier to believe than floating swords :)

Sad to see the show end though. Back to watching anime where pantie shots were meant to be fanservice :)
