Pretty good. Keep it up, and you should be done with the series by episode 12.

Yukari also narrated a Japanese trailer for the Brad Pitt movie "Fury," but it got taken down really quickly.

I dont think they are merchandizing hard enough. Just about everything GuP still sells out so there is still demand they arent meeting.

A friend recommended me this anime on the grounds that I've written my dissertation on World War II tanks, and he wanted to see my response to the show (I also never watch anime, so I guess he figured this would be a good way for me to cut my teeth)

I started it up expecting to spend the first two episodes tearing into it and then stopping, but two days later I've finished the entire thing. I have to say I am very impressed with what they managed to pull of with this show and I think I'll definitely be keeping my eyes peeled for another season or something.

I was really worried that the tanks would stay as... 'stylized' as they were in the first battle, but I'm really glad that they reverted them back to their original paint schemes.

If you still want more I recommend the fourth OVA (Kore ga Hontou no Anzio-sen Desu! / This is the Real Anzio Battle!). It shows their fight with the italian team.

No, it's counting all the short bits on the Blu-Rays as separate OVAs, not the Tank Corner segments.

Have any of those been translated, by the way? I could listen to Yukari sperg about tanks for hours and was bummed that they weren't on the NA version.

Nope. The first 6 OVAs are Water War, Survival War, School Ship War, Anglerfish War, Snow War and Banquet War. Then there's the full length Anzio OVA. The tank corners are a separate thing and I think there's 8 of them. Then there's a huge load of other little bits of bollocks from the DVDs that no one could ever care about.

e: The tank corners have been translated, they're just difficult to find.

The first 6 OVAs are mostly fanservice though, so you might want to skip them except for OVA 2, which has a hilarious cameo of sorts, and OVA 6 (IIRC), which is about the girls celebrating their victory with a series of stage shows.

Pretty much everything GuP is available from /ak/'s wiki.

(Btw what's the policy on linking to subs and scanlations? I don't recall seeing anything about it in the FAQ but I might be missing something critical)

It's the second rule, dude.

quote:

No torrents or direct links to material you can either purchase in the US or see on US TV.
This means that it's ok to have links to anime and manga that is out in Japan right now, but remove your links and don't post new ones once you can get the title in the US. You will be banned if you post links to stuff available in the US. If there is a special case where, for instance, you have an ancient VHS copy of a show that will never again see the light of day, ask a mod first. Please note that this does include online streaming of shows!

I was gonna say, I was really impressed with the whole 'We're not gonna stick our characters into skimpy clothing because...' thing they had going on. Right until the first two OVA where things got weird.

On one hand I'm not too mad because the main series was so good, but I wanted more tank combat in my OVAs not bathing suit frolicking.

The only ones I remember are the celebration episode and the one where they're walking around in the snow. I think one was also about them exploring the ship?? And of course the Anzio episode, though that's more or less in its own category anyway.

The idea of tank-themed swimsuits makes up for all the fanservice. Although that first OVA's animation was ridiculously phoned-in.

The first OVA really turned me off and I was planning to leave the rest of them until the movie was out.

But on a whim I opened this thread and saw the positive reactions to the Anzio OVA and I just finished watching it. It was really good and I'm glad I didn't leave it for months for no good reason.

They're definitely the most fun school.

It got me into World of Tanks. Currently not playing because my desktop computer which is capable of playing it is in another country until I find an apartment. The third campaign is on right now and I just watched the Anzio OVA so I actually really want to play again for the first time in a few months after taking a break.

Dammit.

I never installed the voice packs but I did have the full line of St. Gloriana and Saunders skins.

That was actually quite cleverly done - give the tanks flashy, individual "camo" for the first match so the viewers have an easier time of matching characters to tanks, then put them back to normal for the rest of the series once everyone's up to speed.
