Some translations, of the himegoe CD that was included with the LE DVD1. It has the characters answering some questions, and also saying some Windows sound lines and some other lines. Here's Perrine's versions, translated.

Spoiler:

Tracks 1-49 in DVD 1 were Mio, but she's kinda boring. DVD 2 will probably have Lynette and Barkhorn. DVD 3 will probably have Sanya and Shirley?/Eila? Well, I can imagine the fanservice tracks will be popular for Sanya...

chaosprophet · 2008-10-18, 19:50

Thanks for the translation. These lines are shouting "Tsundere"! Interesting that even here she metions that Rapier which never appeared on the Anime!

suki-gin · 2008-10-21, 03:33

Thanks for the translation! Perrine is such a lovely Tsundere.
I wonder who will be on the following dvd's...

Mariko Kurama · 2008-10-21, 12:57

Hopefully we'll get some Minna soon

selkirk · 2008-10-23, 10:08

Well well, Nikka Katajainen fanart. Never would've thought I'd see that.

Original Katajainen image

Anyway, in DVD news, specials for DVD 2 are apparently MORE non-telop EDs (Yoshika/Lynette and Yoshika/Barkhorn). Like there haven't been enough versions of the ED already. <_<

Keroko · 2008-10-23, 11:00

Surprising indeed, but not at all unwelcome.

Now, this timeline poses several interesting questions.

It also seems that every time 'disturbances' are mentioned they are related to Neuroi.

Also, I chuckled at the Wright brothers becoming the Wright sisters. Looks like every important person in Strike Witches gets genderbent.

Gotta love the wordplay on "Fu-Bu Alliance", an alliance between Fuso and Britannia (Buritania), as well as "Tenka Fubu", the slogan used by Oda Nobunaga in his quest to unify the domains during the waning years of the Sengoku Period.

With the then two most powerful empires in that alternate history having joined forces in an alliance, Nobunaga's vision of "spreading the world with the might of the military" has become a reality, for a while maybe.

Anyway, yeah, I actually watched all 12 episodes of it in one go some time ago, but have not got the opportunity to post. Absolutely love it. At first I have doubts about the skirtless fashion that seems to be trendy in this alternate world, but all the cute girls and yuri won me over, as always.

It's been a long time since I actually liked something made by Gonzo.

Vexx · 2008-10-23, 14:45

For those watching Strike Witches for their "architectural appreciation" ... looks like the DVD series is massively "nipple-rific" -- no more magical towels, dense fog, etc. Just people doing what they normally do in onsens....

mg1942 · 2008-10-23, 14:48

But there goes my hopes for North American R1 DVD...

Vexx · 2008-10-23, 15:15

yeah.... this series in the DVD version would definitely be rated 16+ at the minimum in psychotic old Puritan-land. Which is a shame because they're not really *doing* anything prurient - most of the scenes of nudity happen to be in an onsen. Its not unusual for business deals, social gatherings, etc in such a locale. The other scenes are mostly in a military setting .... where people sometimes are semi-clothed/naked in a group (barracks, etc).

Fynal_Fyre · 2008-10-23, 15:24

The DVD covers this time round are even more win than the previous. Looking forward to Elia X Sanya on the cover though.

Also, still, IIRC the onsen scene's quite short, so it's not going to be "nipple-rific" much. But something is better than nothing.

Edit: Oh and to Selkirk, yeah, DVD 2 had Lynne and Barkhorn's commentary. Weird they didn't lump her with Erica.

mg1942 · 2008-10-23, 15:28

It's not just USA in the R1 market, we also have Canada to worry about. I may be not up-to-date, but I think Canada places far more restrictions on some aspects contained in 'manga-industrial-complex' than USA. I'm afraid strike witches DVD will not be spared in Canada.

On (legal) paper I think SW R-1 DVD would do just fine in the US market, but it won't be long until some nutjob sues (insert anime distributor company) for 'zOMFG my 16 y/o son is watchin' a 'toon that shows nekkid childrin takin' a hot bath and he's not spose to see that stuff!?!?!?' even if he's cleared to watch this show. Okay... that was an exaggeration over 9000, but the last thing that this medium need is another bad PR.

suki-gin · 2008-10-24, 01:46

The R1 dvd release is indeed a sticky situation.. just how many of you have ordered the Japanese dvds?

einhorn303 · 2008-10-24, 10:19

Bah, it'll still get released on R1. Tsukuyomi was just as bad in terms of lolicon fanservice. And no matter what, at least it's not as bad as Princess 69, or Kite, which have been selling quite happily for years now.

Also, we can all agree that Eila x Sanya is pretty much cannon now, yes?

For successful R1 release you gotta silence the critics

That means pulling one-eight-sevens yo!

Speaking from an editors point of view, that fog was hardly a tease, it was in fact impairing the quality of the shown by making the faces hard to see.

Though some edits are a bit questionable... why was the Barkhorn waking up scene altered to show more then it did?

It's symbolic of her emotional vulnerability.

selkirk *y translator Scanlator** Join Date: Jan 2006	Some translations, of the himegoe CD that was included with the LE DVD1. It has the characters answering some questions, and also saying some Windows sound lines and some other lines. Here's Perrine's versions, translated. Spoiler: Track 50 - Self-introduction I am Perrine Clostermann. I am from Pas-de-Calais in Gallia, where my father is a nobleman. No, well, was a nobleman. My height is 152 cm... eh? My three sizes? Why would you need to know that? I can't believe it, you're just so rude. 51 - Rank I hold the rank of Flying Officer, um, in your language that would be Chuu-I, I believe? In Gallia we go by the rank Lieutenant. Normally that rank would qualify me to be the lead in a rotte, but unfortunately there are just too many high-ranking witches in this unit. But, because of that, I get to be the Major's wingman, so I guess I can put up with that. 52 - Dreams for the future Dreams for the future? Without a doubt, that would be to retake Gallia. To have that beautiful land occupied by those Neuroi monsters... Ahh, I can't stand it any more! Once Gallia is free, I would be pleased to help other countries afterwards. 53 - Home unit I am stationed with the 602e Groupe Aériennes of the Forces Gallaises Libres. Because Gallia itself was occupied, we had no choice but to reassemble our forces here in Britannia, as the Forces Gallaises Libres. The Forces Gallaises Libres first made the 601e Groupe, and later my own 602e. I had been undergoing training as a witch since I was a child, so I signed up right away. That's our duty as nobles, wouldn't you agree? What did you say? My first sortie? W-Who cares about that? W-Well, it might be true that I was almost shot down, and almost ran out of time, and just avoided crashing, but everyone makes mistakes! 54 - Concerning Minna Wing Commander Minna? I'm... always a bit nervous around her. She's competent, talented, and notices everything around her, so I just can't stay calm when she's looking at me... 55 - Concerning Lynne Sergeant Lynette? That girl who doesn't stand out? Hmm... Maybe because the two of them are both new, so she's always together with Miyafuji, but she's never really made an impression on me. However, she seems to be somewhat capable in a battle, so I wouldn't mind having her watch my back. 56 - Concerning Yoshika Oh, what is with that Miyafuji Yoshika! She's always clinging to Major Sakamoto... getting all of her attention during training, and even in the bath! So what if they're from the same country, she should show some respect in what she calls the Major! 57 - Concerning Mio Ahh, Major Sakamoto... oh, she's so wonderful. Her dignified face, her long and slender legs, her beautiful and exotic black hair... and finally her precise orders during battle... officers as good as that just don't exist! 58 - Concerning Lucchini Pilot Officer Lucchini...! Oh, when she's more lacking herself, to have her calling others flat-chested! That's the very definition of rude! All she does is nap throughout the day, this is why Romagnans are all so troublesome... Well, she does show some promise in battle though. 59 - Concerning Shirley Flight Lieutenant Shirley, well, she's a superior so I won't say much, but must that Liberian be so carefree? What's more, bigger is not better... well, I wouldn't mind being a bit bigger... 60 - Concerning Barkhorn Flight Lieutenant Barkhorn... I hate to admit it, but she's better than me. I can't catch up to her in amount of experience or firepower. As a person, she's a bit hard to get along with though. 61 - Concerning Hartmann I can't rival Flying Officer Hartmann in the sky either. Well, fighting is a disagreeable practice... it's a specialty of Karlsland after all. I'll just leave that to her. 62 - Concerning Sanya Sanya? That girl you never know whether she's there or not? It's almost like she's a ghost. However she serves in an important role for the sake of the unit, so I'll commend her for that. It's not something I can do myself. 63 - Concerning Eila Eila... hmm... I really don't know much about her. Believing in something as unscientific as fortune telling... well, even I would like to see the fortune between the Major and me... but what if, what if a bad result came up!? Oh, I could never do something so frightening. 64 - Aspirations Before anything else, to take back Gallia no matter what! There is nothing other than that. Father's magnificent château... until I can restore it to its former glory, I will never give up! 65 - Concerning your Striker unit What do I use as my Striker unit? Well that would be the pride and joy of Gallia, the Arsenal de l'Aéronautique's VG-39! Eh? Is that a prototype? My, how rude! I'm using it a live war now. It's true that my homeland was occupied before it could be formally adopted, but the development continued without a hitch where we evacuated. Furthermore, with the Quadra 12Y-89 magic engine this Striker uses, it won't lose to other Strikers! 66 - Concerning your weapon Why do I use a Britannian gun, you ask? Well, I would have liked to use a Chatellerault MLE 1924-II myself, but I just can't get one here. I don't have much of a choice except to use something similar, right? Well, the Bren light machine gun is very accurate, so I'm quite happy with it. But much better than that is this ancestral rapier! Those Neuroi will go down easily so long as I have this. 67 - Concerning your homeland My homeland, Gallia, is the most beautiful, the most civilized, and the most advanced place in the world. We may not be good at such disagreeable practices as fighting, but with our reputation as a cultural country, I suppose that's to be expected. 68 - Cooking specialty My... my homemade cooking, you say? As a young noblewoman of Gallia, I know all about proper etiquette, but because I always had a chef to cook so... eh? Can I not cook? Oh, how dare you, that's not true at all! It's just cooking! Just cooking... Oh, I wish I could let Major Sakamoto eat some of my homemade cooking... but what if I made her sick...? Ahh... 69 - Concerning the Witches' base It's located on the Britannian side of the Dover Straight, so my homeland of Gallia is just near by. And yet... it's still so far away... 70 - Concerning the Witches' lifestyle (official stance) I don't need training myself, but I'll go along for the sake of the new recruits so they don't get in the way. In order to protect our world, this is the duty of a noble. It's known as "noblesse oblige", you know? 71 - Concerning the Witches' lifestyle (real opinion) Ah, for crying out loud! That raccoon-dog! Why is she always clinging, clinging clinging, clinging everywhere to Major Sakamoto! Even I'm afraid and can't approach her so easily! And just because they're from the same country, calling her by name...! They go to the bath together, and they're ALWAYS together during training... How is that possible? How? How? I'm so jealous...! 72 - Morning greeting 1 It's already morning, you know? Shape yourself up already. 73 - Morning greeting 2 Wake up. At least be a bit grateful, since I came to wake you up. 74 - Meal Itadakimasu. Gochisousama. Well, that was quite good. It's time to eat. Why did I have to make this for you... My, this is better than I expected. There's no way I can eat this, is there!? 75 - Afternoon greeting Bonjour. 76 - Evening greeting Bonsoir. What, you don't what that means? It means "good evening". TL note: <3 this one for some reason 77 - Before bed Go to sleep already, you need to get up early tomorrow, right? What, I'm not going to come wake you up! 78 - Sending off Y-You can just leave by yourself. I don't care. I, I'm not really hoping you come back soon. I've got lots of things to do myself. 79 - Reception W-What did you come here for? It's, it's not like I asked you to come. That's right, I definitely didn't ask you to come! 80 - Other lines What? You want to be friends with me? Hm, well, if you say it like that, I'll think about it. Well, um... Just this once now, you hear!? Um... thank you. Hard work does not fit my image! I'm always elegant and graceful. But... if you insist, maybe I can help you. Um, well... I'm sorry. Don't worry. There's no way that would have been a problem for me. But... I'm a bit glad. I'm cheering you on here! Now give it your all! 81 - Incoming mail You've got mail. So even you have people that would write you letters. 82 - Start up I'll let you turn on the PC. 83 - Shut down Eh? What? You're leaving already? Wait, I didn't hear anything about that! 84 - Error Oh, now, that's why this is worthless! What did you do to make it turn out like this!? Oh, I can't go on... W-What now? What? What is this? Who said you could do that!? Ahn, ngg, stupid. Now, look at that. I told you that wouldn't work. D-D-D-D-Don't look! No, no matter what happens, I'm telling you you musn't look! T-There's no way I could have made a mistake! This stupid thing! 85 - Zoom in What? You want to make it bigger? You should know, bigger isn't always better. 86 - Zoom out Ahaha. Making it smaller...? Now isn't that small? 87 - Maximize Well, even I can't make this any bigger right away. 88 - Minimize If I made this any smaller, you won't even be able to see it... 89 - Delete I'll give you my permission to clean that up. Eeew, look at this trash, throw it all away! 90 - Download You want something like this? Eh? Why do I have to do it? Now, really... There, it's done. 91 - Message I'll be happy to transfer you. I'm hanging up! 92 - Call Someone's looking for you, so come out already! You've got a call. I'm telling you, so come and take the phone already. 93 - Answering machine He's (She's) not here. If you have business with him (her), just tell me. 94 - Fanservice 1 E... Ecchi. Mou... ecchi nandakara... 95 - Fanservice 2 I, I, I, I... I love you. Only this one time, you hear? I won't ever say it again! ...Suki. Honestly... just for a bit... stupid. 96 - Fanservice 3 I hate you! You... oh, I haaaaate you! Oh, you're such a fool. 97 - Panties Pa-Panties, you say!? No, these aren't pa-panties! So, of course it isn't embarrassing! 98 - Combat Perrine Clostermann, taking off. Enough already, now give up! Something like that isn't going to work! Tracks 1-49 in DVD 1 were Mio, but she's kinda boring. DVD 2 will probably have Lynette and Barkhorn. DVD 3 will probably have Sanya and Shirley?/Eila? Well, I can imagine the fanservice tracks will be popular for Sanya... __________________ Last edited by selkirk; 2008-10-21 at 23:09.
