Haha, holy poo poo, they are using live ammo on their first exercise! If they keep ramping it up like that it's going to be glorious!

I mean, I knew I was in for a treat when the instructor airdropped inside a tank and wrecked the principal's car, but I didn't know it would come so soon.

I hate to do this thing for a show about high-school girls fighting each other with WW2 era tanks on top of a supercarrier, and to be honest my only experience with war machines is Vietnam-era artillery, but couldn't their rounds be just training shells with just enough propellant to get them to their target instead of penetrating it?

Aw man, I love how this show is reveling in its absurd premise. I was honestly expecting this to be "cute girls doing cute this and there is also a tank in the background", but the writers have pulled all the stops and just rolling with it like a panzer over some soft infantry positions.

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.

It's an anime. They are going to win due to their clever plans, determination and cakeBurning Spirit.

The infiltration operation in this episode was amazing :ninja:

And she also had time during her escape to [spoiler]edit the footage and add credits and opening titles[/spoilers].

This show is genuinely funny.

Which is really key to its success, if it was just K-On with Tanks I don't think it would have nearly the outreach it currently has (as there's better K-On clones already); that and its genuinely funny.

What I Watched: Girls und Panzer
What I Expected: K-On! with Tanks
What I Got: Tanks with K-On!

Wow. They hyped up the Italian school but Ourai destroyed them within 5 seconds. That was really surprising.

Well, they did bring tankettes to a tank fight.

Am I the only one who honestly wanted the Pravda team to win after listening to them sing? Those girls must have put so much effort! Even Stalin-chan didn't look like an enormous jerk when she was singing. Why does it have to be just one winner in this tournament?

You know, I am glad they chose Katyusha for Pravda's song, but if they wanted to be really :spergin: about it then they should have chosen a song that was written specifically for Soviet tankmen

For my part, I have a hard time finding much of the show moe at all.

Well, the first episode was moe as gently caress, and if it wasn't for Commie's troll subs I would have probably given up on it. But yeah, right now the only "moe" elements of the show are there to punctuate the absurdity of the whole premise.

You go a bit back, switch to the NoFunAllowed track, say "ah, ok, now my Anime experience is complete", and then go back to the ubermensch subs.

If this was a shonen battle instead of a sports anime, I wouldn't have settled for anything less than the Ratte.

Well if anything good can be said about Black Forest having a Maus is at least it wasn't a Ratte!

C'mon, it's a sports anime, not a shounen show

Watching the Oarai team take down the Maus was the best thing that ever happened to me.

And to think that I almost dismissed the series because of how bland the first episode was. Well played, anime, well played.

History Club spin-off.

Pity that the video uses some lovely cover version of Hell march. Haven't they ever played Red Alert?! http://open.spotify.com/track/6Yyt7aFBMAxp0Eqzb1XGtl

Just in case you are not being sarcastic (I would definitely be, that version is the worst one), it's Hell March 2 from Red Alert 2.

Hell March 1 would be best, but I would be just as happy with Hell March 3.
