Just announced today. New OVA and a series focusing on another squadron.
Hopefully Funimation goes for both of these, I know the new series might go to Crunchyroll but I don't doubt they'd get it.

This is cool news. Too bad its not about the same group but still cool news.
-
Just saw this on ANN, glad to see the War Against Pants still rages on! XD.
0 A WILD MONKEY ENTERS THE FRAY! TOONS N COMIC STUFF HERE!

Well that's a shame that they're not going to bring back the original characters. Oh well I'm still looking forwards to the new season. Anyone know if Funimation ever got the rights to the movie?
-
I've been waiting for this announcement…and now it's finally here!
OPERATION VICTORY ARROW will be about the 501st JFW, so we will still get our Strike Witches back. The new series is about another JFW, which is what a lot of us have been wanting. This is cool, because we still get some new Strike Witches content, while getting something different. Anything will do of course, but I WOULD LOVE to see the Storm Witches, or Brave Witches in action.

They still haven't gotten it, but since a new season has been confirmed, they will almost have to.
-
Yeah I still need to watch the movie. waiting on YOU FUNimation. I have both seasons including the LE Season 2 set
-
Apparently it isn't a 3rd season and more of a spinoff series. Still hoping these get picked up.

A brand new series set in the Strike Witches universe, it seems like. I'm hoping for "Storm Witches" :D

We're going to have to hope for some official announcement on that. And if they don't bring the movie over, I'm going to be skeptical about the new OVA and third season.
If you want to keep getting your Strike Witches fix, Seven Seas Entertainment is starting to release some of the manga series: http://www.gomanga.com/manga/strikewitches.php

I think the "we don't have plans" was tentative because the movie rights might be still out of the question due to Kadokawa holding it back for reverse import reasons.

When I heard about it at the Moe Wars Blog I was super excited. Can't wait to watch the series and OVA.
-
I'm quite glad that it won't be about the 501st. SW has such a broad, rich universe beyond the 501st that deserves to be explored!
Also, IMHO Yoshika's story was over with the 2nd season. Yoshika regaining her powers cheapens the impact of her sacrifice in the S2 finale.

I don't know about that; what about her father? Finding out about what really happened to him is pretty much Yoshika's whole story.
Yoshika regaining her powers cheapens the impact of her sacrifice in the S2 finale.
I think she pretty much has to come back to fight, especially now that Mio has lost her powers. I like the whole master-apprentice relationship between them, but it wouldn't make any sense if neither of them could fight anymore. And it's not like Yoshika got her powers back easily. She had to be nearly killed to get them back.

It's following the light novels series. This lets the author to write another volume of the 501, maybe another author because the original author who wrote the light novels about the 501 died of cancer, but there's the Afrikan squadron, and another squadron, too.
-
I just hope that this new series, the OVA, and the if possible the movie get dubbed. Not really picky, but I would like to see just a little more of a continuation of ze series.
-
And the Operation Victory Arrow details are out!
3 30-minute shorts depict members' lives between 2nd TV series and 2012 film
-
Maybe they can get these along with the movie?
-
I'm a bit more confident now that they will.

Epic news, I will have to write up a article for my blog. I am LOVING that image. Need that on a poster or wallscroll.
