StuG LYFE



I was thinking about passing on this anime until I saw this.

Even if I'm nowhere near the tank aficionado everyone here is, I'm still enjoying it and getting into the whole spirit of it. I know a couple of people who are avid tank fans, though, and they're probably going to fall in love with this series when I tell them about it.


I really wish these girls were the main characters, because I love every second they're onscreen. I'm pretty sure Rommel-Girl was always walking around in that getup, even before the school reinstated their Tank Club.

Also...

... I love being a polyglot! :neckbeard:

I don't understand the Panzer vor joke though can someone explain it? That's my only issue is that when they do try to be clever with the faux german is flies over my head :(

One of the girls yells "Panzer vor!*" and, when another girl asks for an explanation, she is given a translation in Japanese, naturally. For the fun subtitles, the Japanese translation is translated into German instead of English.

*: Panzer vor

Sometimes she mixes things up by closing the other eye.


This isn't an example of that.

The infiltration operation in this episode was amazing :ninja:

I love that her contingency plan for being found out was to just run away, and that it worked.

I wish the tank destroyer crew were the main characters. They were great in 6.

They're consistently the best thing about the show and I hope they get at least one episode dedicated to them.


When I saw this, everything about them made perfect sense.

It's also important to point out that they pronounce it Kaiser in the show.

"What's wrong?"
"You sent me 40 pages of tank schematics."
"I know."

Nah man, it should be airplanes. More potential for 1 on 1 dogfights, more diversity in planes (as far as I know, ships kinda all look the same to me), there's a poo poo ton of aces for the boy's history club to emulate...

Speaking of which, didn't the Type 89 crew have plans to reinstate their volleyball team?

I'm not complaining. If they forgot, I can certainly understand why.

I don't want to see Oorai get additional funding for Tank Warfare. I enjoyed how they conscripted the volleyball team into the Oorai Armored Division. Having every club in Oorai contribute a part of their funding and members to Tankery would be both funny and unique. Especially when Miho's idea of reinforcements end up being the Tea Serving Club, Swimming Club and the Occult Club.

And the Manga Artist's Club, drawing mangas of their tank battles as they happen.

I wonder why Turtle (38t) and Duck (Type 89) are shooting at each other. Non flag invoking training perhaps, since they seem to be using only machineguns? Heh, maybe someone accused someone else of being fat... :)

These don't really seem like the kind of girls who would get upset over that. Now, if you insulted their tanks...

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

I just finished watching the movie. There are too many things about it that I love to list, and there are very few movies that I can describe that way. The final match took up about half of the movie, and I loved every single second of it.

The movie also reminded of how this series has an ungodly amount of characters in it, but I still remember so many of them by name. A lot of people didn't get as much screen time as I would have liked (Hippo Team, but I was also pleasantly surprised by how much screen time some others got (Italians).
