There's also Endless Eight and a bunch of Gainax endings.

Endless Eight was the only way they could have played it. It was glorious. :colbert:

Yeah I could understand it being incredibly frustrated for actual Haruhi fans but for everyone else the Endless Eight was an amazing thing to watch unfold.

When I heard about the boat ending of School Days months after the fact, I thought that it was a great thing for the medium to be playing with expectations and taking the piss out of its audience.

When it happened to me as I was watching Endless Eight, I was not happy. I imagine it was pretty neat for those who weren't invested in it, though.

Anyhow, good tank show.

I can see the merit in the concept but eight goddamn weeks is a loving long-rear end joke.

Stargate SG1 had the episode "Groundhog day" which is the same idea, but crammed into an hour long episode.

(It's also fantastic)

OVA 5 has been subbed. It has some nice character moments with Erwin and Yukari.

OVA5 is pretty cool. Also literally.
This isn't the first time I have heard a story about American Winter combat training generally sucking. Does anybody have some first hand experience?

The group for both is called AK. You can find the sub at the usual aggregators.

Have I missed other references in the Series or OVA's? I know Kelly's Heroes came up a few times in the series and a Monty Python sketch was used in the Beach OVA.

Yeah, there's no way they can afford to show the hardcore tank-on-tank action that everyone would really want to see. Hell, they couldn't even afford a tank if all it had to do was sit there in the background.

To destroy evil you must become an even greater evil.
Yeah, it certainly looks like some variant of a Panzer III, but it's short a road wheel.

Yeah, I assumed it was the J variant... but as you say, it's missing a wheel.

The Panzer III Ausführung A had only 5 roadwheels, so it's probably that hull with the later turret and the long 50mm cannon.

Man, I sure would like to get ahold of a copy of that JGSDF documentary narrated by Yukari. Info on the Japanese Self Defense Force is as rare as hen's teeth.

Before this thread, I didn't know that the Japanese trained at Yakima in Washington.
