Yeah, it's not really worth reading, but Ribbon Warrior looks promising, since it's got TANKS TANKS TANKS instead of TITS TITS TITS.

Just finished watching the show/OVAs/Movie. It was good! Favorite parts include Miho trying to cheer everyone up by doing the Anglerfish Dance, the extremely unexpected Spam n' Eggs reference in the camping OVA, and the movie.

Was anyone else actually expecting Oorai to lose the finals? Like Oorai would still fight hard and make it really close, but ultimately Miho would fall to her sister. However because Miho fought so well despite the odds she would gain the respect of Maho and her mom. Obviously to avoid it being a sad ending they'd find a way to make sure Oorai High School doesn't close down (like the Senshadou Federation realizes an Oorai/Black Forest Peak rivalry would be really good for boosting Shenshado's popularity and keep it open).

Hope if there's a season 2 they include Maple High School. :canada:

Ooarai start to get better equipment. Tiger IIs, Pershings, T44s and the like. Miho gets power crazy, and Maho becomes the main character.

one of my favourite things about ribbon warrior is that nobody knows that oorai was just a bunch of lucky bastards who were only driven to victory because they didn't want their school to shut down, so instead they just seem like an incredibly deadly band of ice cold killers to the protags

I'm telling my mommy. That pubbie doesn't do video games right!
They left good sequel hooks in the movie for a national selection tournament leading up to the world tournament. They blew the all-star team idea in the movie so I'd certainly expect Oarai to get some transfer students and increased funding to crew a few new tanks. They stated in the movie that the coming tournaments would use annihilation rules and Oarai succeeding with their current lineup would just be too contrived.

Oarai doesn't have a single British or Russian tank, which really seems unusual, and both of those countries still have tons of quirky tanks (half of Oarai's lineup being lesser known tanks) that can shore up weaknesses in their lineup.

Ammat The Ankh posted:

A season 2 is guaranteed to include the French, most likely Maginot. They had some of the best early war tank designs and, honestly, I don't understand how they lost to Anzio when Anzio didn't have the P40 until the Oarai battle.

Other than Maginot I don't really see them introducing any new schools. They've already got schools covering all the other important tank producing nations, plus Japan and Finland, and adding new schools means adding ever more characters to the cast. Unfortunately for Maple I think there would be too much overlap with Saunders and St. Gloriana.

Check the thread harder, it's not that long! :)


From earlier...

Magni posted:

Someone on 4chan actually did translate the info on that. Anzio were fielding three Semovente and the tankette swarm, the P40 wasn't ready yet. They baited out Maginot with one Semovente and the tankettes and caused their flag tank (the Char 2B) to fall behind the mob chase, which allowed the other two Semoventes to flank and kill it. Only one tank got killed in the entire match, but it was apparently still rated amongst the most entertaining and close matchups in the first round.

Unless of course you mean you STILL can't believe Maginot lost.

Yeah, this. I mean, schools like Anzio, Oarai, and Maginot are why the flag tank rules are used instead of annihilation, but it's hard to reconcile Eclair from the Maginot manga with someone who gets outmaneuvered by a school with only three tanks that she actually needs to worry about.

e: Also honestly hard to reconcile OVA Anzio with a school that could pull that off. Anchovy is a good commander and all but the rest of the Anzio students seem like they'd have trouble with the implementation of her plan. Though I gather there's a manga Anzio somewhere that's much more competent.

You and I both know this is silly, but this is the biggest women's sporting event in the world. Let's try to make the most of it, shall we?


Saunders' aerial fleet.

quote:

>Saunders has a U-2
>2 DC3 for horses or domestic animals of the riding club/livestock department
>2 Super Conny's for the chairman and other VIPs



quote:

The Super Galaxy could only carry 122t normally, but Saunders upgraded it to carry 180t.

Oorai tanks add up to 200t, so it was extremely risky to transport them. Saunders under-fuelled the plane to reduce weight, and had two KC-10 taking turns refuelling it in mid air in order to keep it flying. This had to be done twice, once to get the tanks back to Saunders, and once to get the tanks to the tournament. Oorai own them a BIG favour.

Saunders being amazing.

I absolutely loved that part as well. Oorai being the jerkbag rich team with the bullshit high-tier equipment that they rules-lawyered into a tankathon match.

Miho shows up to university, somewhat sad that she can't to senshado anymore. Gets intercepted by the senshado team, told that the university desperately needs funding and has decided to enter the national league. They want Miho to lead them. All they have is a M551 Sheridan, a Leopard 1, a T-62, an S-tank, an AMX-30 and a Wiesel MK. The first match is against Pravda's team of 24 T-64s next week.

IIRC Saunders is specifically stated to be in a cooperation with a huge american university. They're also pretty much built around technical trades and aeronautics and the senshado club and its tech support have a bigger slice of the overall budget than in any other school.

Is anyone interested in the Ribbon Warrior Te-ke model kit? I bought mine in October thinking I'd have skills in normal non-Gunpla models but those skills never materialized.

I can list in SA-Mart if so desired.
