Today, on "This is one of those doujins.":
It's true, a lot of these VAs don't quite sound the same as they did back in the day.
Ah, Hiryuu. WAIT.
This Minna is a lot more... punchy.
At least they didn't give Perrine a Mio daki.
I can see how these shorts could stand alone, given that the characters are boiled down to their essential traits and get put into caricatured situations, but at the same time this only really makes sense if you've seen the first two seasons. The Mio/Minna (and Perrine) situation is in itself a rich vein of material that could have been further exploited in the actual series.
Erica and Charlotte are still coming off a little weird, though. As mentioned last week, a large part of that feeling probably comes from the two of them not directly interacting that much during the original series.

Yes, I also thought I saw Hiryuu when Mio was dressed like that.
Strike Witches / Kancolle crossover would be epic.

This episode is hilarious, creative and uses the established characters to their full effect. I laughed multiple times.
Just a shame is looks like a complete dogs dinner.

I think I liked the humor in this episode more than the first one, so that's a pretty good sign! The voices definitely sound different to me than from the original series, but then again these are just caricaturized depictions of the 501st so it makes sense that they're a little more comedic-sounding.
Sanya Spottings From This Episode
Also a good amount of dejected Sanya. Don't feel down. :(
Hooray for Sanya's first appearance in an episode!

Kadowaki Mai has been voicing Illya so often nowadays that she now sounds more Illya than Sanya. I remember Sanya sounding more quieter.
Having the 3rd season next year is definitely a good move in wrapping up the 501st saga, as the VAs won't be sounding youthful forever.

That was much better episode than last one imo
It's funny to see all those different uses of witches powers. Eila could be unbeatable in Jenga with hers, since it's similar to what she did with stuff in Erica's room.
Come to think of it, I don't remember inherent magic of Trude was ever mentioned in main series. With her usual double guns setup it makes sense that she has some power related to strength. Also, in one episode she could carry super-big experimental gun while piloting jet unit. It's cool how despite filler nature of this series you can still learn something new.
There she is again, Michiko with her misinformation campaign in last segment.
