Well, the tank nerds did kinda save the team, even though it was on accident. :v: I also laughed entirely too much at the GODDAMNIT PORSCHE! :argh: moment. The best part is how one of the mechanics pops out of the commanders hatch, yells "Oh crap, not again!" and asks for a fire extinguisher.

And that is definitely Kelly's Heroes they're watching.

Was that movie they were watching an adaptation of Kelly's Heroes? It looked like a scene from that.
They animated the scene one to one basically. http://youtu.be/T1eFePf6mWM
I have no idea why there were crying at the scene though.

Also, Akiyama calling herself Sergeant Oddball is a reference to the movie as well.

My guess is that they care more about the tanks than the characters and plot, so the tiger getting blown up makes them upset.

I pause the video for each in a string of "SUGOI"s and "HAI"s etc. that get translated in different German phrases, asking my wife to translate each iteration. It's a great way to pass and amplify the spirit of the trolling.

Another great detail this episode was the ikebana flower arrangement; the use of colours and shape was pretty drat evocative of a tank exploding from an ammorack detonation.

I think the only time I ever get annoyed is when it becomes difficult to actually figure out what is being said. Like with the Guderian quote this episode, something along the lines of strike swiftly and win or something?

Considering that Kelly's Heroes was basically THE WW2 movie pre-Saving Private Ryan that is anywhere close to :spergin: technically accurate probably makes it nigh-Shakespearean in this world.

"Nicht kleckern, klotzen" can best be translated along the lines of "Don't poke, punch!" IE, if you attack, do it with everything you can bring and don't hold back or dilute your strenght.

You're not supposed to know. Hell even German speakers don't even know, considering the Commie subber, Magni, my wife, and Wikipedia all have different translations and interpretations of the quote.

That's really not the best translation, zettai shouri is more of a surefire victory, kitto katsu is a lot softer and fitting the style of the show.

Buy them when you're there. Japan has literally hundreds of exclusive Kit Kat flavors, ranging from the bizarre (soy sauce, grilled corn, camembert, lemon vinegar) to the delicious (bitter strawberry, ginger ale, green tea, salted watermelon).

You're thinking of kanzen shouri, but everything has to be translated in the context in where it is spoken/written/etc so it could be anything. It's close enough.

Go on a site called J-list, they sell them.
Anyway, is this the series now basically done until March? Hope that they do actually get a second season, though I do wonder what they'll do plot wise for it since they are second years they won't be moving off to college or whatever else they might do. I suppose it depends how fast time is going by, the tournament might be only a couple of weeks long and it seemed to kick off early in the school year.

They'll fire up another recap episode on Christmas and then it's done until March. IIRC, they're planning on 6 bonus OVAs, a few of which they'll release until then and the OST is coming this year.

6 OVAs? Hopefully they won't be as bad as the one for Upotte was, in fact, they could be giving all the teams a spotlight episode. If that happens the Historical team should be fun.

The OVAs are all half-length episodes, so it's about three episodes' worth of additional material in addition to the two that will air in March.

We'll have to wait a few months, but I'm genuinely curious if and how Oorai will pull a win. Black Forest is running multiple vehicles which honestly could likely solo the entire Oorai team with a tiny bit of luck. All three Tigers significantly outrange everything except the Tiger(P) Oorai has, and the Tiger II and Jagdtiger have significantly better armor to boot. There is literally nothing Oorai has that can penetrate the frontal armor of the Jagdtiger and, assuming it actually has an experienced crew, could easily be used as an anvil. It doesn't help that several Oorai tanks-the Type 89, the Char, and the Lee-are effectively only useful as possible scouts and 'ablative' armor for the more useful ones. We'll just have to wait and see.

Most of Black Forest's entire force breaks down/runs out of fuel in transit to the staging area. The rest are redirected to fight Russians.

Don't feel too bad, I'm fairly certain that it wasn't mentioned once overtly on the show itself. Just another one of those things that you notice while re-watching (and desperately waiting for March to come).
