Apparently, they've been (sort of) making a comeback with Nyanpire and Last Exile: Silver Fam. Yet despite this, they're not the main production company behind the movie. What's the deal with this? I am confused as to why GONZO isn't the main production company despite making the first two anime adaptations of Strike Witches. It's like they just forgot about it completely.
The animation studio doesn't have as much control over the franchise as you seem to think; it's all about the production committee, which is the same for both seasons and the movie. The animation studio is just contracted out to do the animation; it's not like they have a huge influence on the plot and writing. And the two seasons and movie still have the same key creative staff, the stuff which is actually important to this: Director Kazuhiro Takamura, a bunch of the script writers, and Takaaki Suzuki.
