Apparently the tournament matches are 10 versus 10. This puts the main characters at a disadvantage with only 5 tanks. I wonder if the cast will increase or the other teams won't use 10 tanks.

The episode preview at the end of this weeks episode also mentions it. Notice that it says next weeks episode is episode 5.5 and the new date for episode 6 is November 19th.

This series is really surprising. It feels like it was written as a tank battle anime first and foremost and then the girls were added in later to increase sales. Well, it's apparently working as the DVDs are selling like hotcakes.

Yeah, the Type 89 is pretty much there as a joke tank. In the match against the British Tanks, the Type 89 was able to get some shots to hit the British tanks (including the one at point blank) but all they got was a "ding" sound with the shell deflecting. It's kind of sad, really. The Volleyball team seem to be one of the more competent teams but their tank is really holding them back.

Dan7el posted:Okay. Do large aircraft-carriers-turned-into-community-schools make any sense at all to anyone? I wonder if perhaps this is a mechanism by which a country with limited land space might expand out? Perhaps, rather than colonizing land, which isn't available any longer without a war to take it, they just build this massive ships and move them around the ocean. Apparently, this show's reason for the carriers is that they can't live on land for some reason anymore.

They also found a Tiger and a new gun for the Panzer IV which should add some much needed firepower. I wonder if the Type 89 will replaced as a result as it's kind of useless since it can't penetrate anything and lacks speed.

This series is getting 6 more episodes. Each volume of the Blu-ray will come with an additional OVA episode. Since there's 6 Volumes, we get 6 more episodes. I'm hoping they show the Anzio fight in at least one of the OVAs and not waste it like the first one (it's a swimsuit episode).

I like to remind you that they have a Tiger Porsche, not a normal Tiger I (or II). It's basically a scraped prototype and worse than a traditional Tiger. Even then, a single Tiger won't make much of a difference due to the numbers difference. Also, they don't have the Tiger fielded (it seems like they couldn't get it fully operational before the match) and unless they let teams enter tanks mid-way into a match, the Tiger will not show up in this match.

I like how they changed the flag tank to the Type 89. I guess they realized the Type 89 won't be able to penetrate anything and will get pulverized without constant help so might as well make it the escort.

It's a anime original series so lack of material isn't something they have to worry about. The problem is if a second season will be decent enough to live up to the first.

Ha, the reason why Ooarai's tanks are so ragtag and includes some really lovely tanks is because the school sold off the good ones when the first Sensha-do club disbanded. Basically, what they're using right now are tanks that weren't saleable because they're not that good.

Actually, those mechanics might be next crew. There's four of them (enough for a crew) and only 2 of them have appeared outside of the opening which means the other 2 will probably show up sometime in the last few episodes. They even have an animal symbol, the lion team. Also, I really don't think they're going to switch tanks. The tanks have basically been each crews "partners" with the Panzer IV being the mascot of the series. Not to mention that a lot of the merchandising is tied with the tanks and their crews.

The show is selling very well so a second season is plausible. It's a anime original series so they don't even have to wait for a source material to get further ahead.

Kitamura Eri also plays one of the the girls on the Russian team. What's funny is that I didn't notice that Darjelling's VA was Kitamura Eri until you said it but I noticed her voice immediately as the commander of the Russian flag tank.

No one was able to come up with the source for a panty shot frame causing the delays so I would say that's just a rumour and very unlikely to be the truth. Why would a few frames that could easily be replaced cause a whole episode to be delayed? And yes, the Tiger Porsche did catch on fire. It happens pretty early in the episode. The show has confirmed that the further you go in the tournament the more tanks you're allowed. That explains why the first round was 10 tanks, the third 15, and the final round being 20. Lord Koth posted:These were mentioned by Miho: Edit: Oh yeah. I found it hilarious that the Type 3's crew are basically WOT players. Their gimmick is that they play an online tank game and wanted to drive a real tank. Zettace fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Dec 18, 2012 |

Because the Type 89 is meant to be a joke tank. If it was actually useful in combat then that would ruin the spirit of that tank.
