I'm still fuzzy on the premise of this show.

>>2
Well, it's set in close-to-ours parallel universe where driving tanks is considered sport/martial arts.
Think of K-On with tanks, quite literary.

I am ready!

>>3

> K-On with tanks

Wait a second, I remember that show!

>>5
Superior image.

Single digit post numbers, eh? Okay. For anyone interested /ak/ is (slowly) scanlating this.

http://ak-scans.wikia.com/wiki/Girls_und_Panzer

it will pick up when the show airs. I'm pretty excited for it

Where are humikane's character designs for this?

10

One of the characters will be voiced by Ohashi Ayuru (Eila's VA).

Also, moe Rommel.

So when does this air anyhow? Last I heard was "October" with no specific date.

Nevermind, apparently it's tomorrow.

Here's an unsubbed torrent:

Wow, it was better than I expected.
Can't wait for some action.

Why is Ahonen in character roster?

>>17

Because every series needs a psycho lesbo harem master.

any word on why this series takes place on a giant aircraft carrier?

what the fuck did I just watch?

I would have liked to see more action.

>>21

I'm kinda hoping they don't draw out the rebuilding of the tank beyond an episode. Luckily, once the tanks are operational they should have a number of scrimmages where they spar against other tanks from their same school.

Overall, I thought it was alright. I don't recall seeing any random panty shots either, which is a good sign.

The main characters seem likable, and provided they don't pull something really stupid later on this should prove to be an entertaining show.

>> good sign

for you, maybe

so yeah the humikane influence is starting to show...

she's like the sluttier version of Perrine, which I am more than OK with as long as they remain technically separate characters.

And yeah, I know the word 'slut' gets thrown around way too much on /a/ and so forth but bragging about having a different boyfriend in every port probably qualifies by most standards.

>>26

Incidentally my Grandfather had some guys on his ship that did pretty much the same thing every time they pulled into a Japanese port back when he was in the Korean War... apparently Penicillin was a much appreciated wonder drug by those guys.

>>26

I think she's more like a female "ladies-man". She talks a big game and makes it seem like she's ultra desirable by claiming she has hundreds of suitors, but in reality she's probably never had a boyfriend.

>>29

good point. Still gonna call her Penicillin-chan though

I got all the way through the combat half of the third episode before I realized i was watching a raw

By the way, I recommend the hiryuu subs for this. In my opinion, commie really didn't do too well on this one.

I gotta give them credit for this show actually spending most of its time with the panzers in the picture. I mean, it's not K-on where the premise is music and the actual show is cake. Most of the dialogue and activity in the show is actually related to tanks, and the tanks themselves are on screen for a good portion of the episode.

>>34
The Commie Subs version gave me a slight headache with all the "german" terms that's not needed. The girls were talking in straight japanese most of the time.

>>42

Yeah, I couldn't even get past the first couple of minutes.

I don't get it, is this like kid's anime where they have battles for fun or something sick and twisted like they act like everything is normal but girls get killed like in real take warfare

>>44

It's kind of weird. They're definitely using live ammo, yet nobody dies as far as I know.

Magic I guess.

>>45
AFAIK they use specified ammo, which might mean rounds that won't pierce the armor? Considering how they like to pop out of the hatch though it doesn't feel any safer

After watching episode 4, there's apparently a impenetrable carbon "shell" inside of the tank. Also, I think those "I surrender" flags automatically pop up once a full penetration of the essentially cosmetic outer armor is detected.

It is also implied that you can actually be killed if you're hit by a tank shell if you're outside of the tank, although that should be pretty obvious.

The Humikane touch

>that dance
Why boner.

you got bodysuit fetish?

I'm actually starting to like this series and characters are kinda lovable.

Another Humikane dakimakura design

>>53

Yeah, the series seems pretty solid so far. Likable characters, and it doesn't stray from the main focus of the show (tanks). Hopefully we get multiple seasons.

>>55
This how Strike Witches would've been if they didn't have that Takamura guy involved.
Although we still get the pantsu since that's the way most witches were designed. At least not at in-your-face levels.

>>56

If only..

>>56

they should get this team to do the [spoiler]502nd Anime

>>58
There's an upcoming anime about the 502nd?

>>58
I love the part in the SW-movie when Pokrishkina appears and I doubt any other team can do better.

Anyway, I like GuP too.

>>60
s/Pokrishkina/Pokryshkina

>>59

probably not but one can dream

Somehow this series is getting better and better. The character build up is not superb but good enough.

Of course the show is about Tank battles and tactics. I'm no tank buff so I wouldn't know how sensible or logical the tank battles are but this anime kinda reminds me of those Greatest Tank Battles TV shows.

The urban warfare against brit girls was great. I'm looking forward to the conclusion of the match against the Sherman girls. Then possibly against T-34s and ultimately Maho's Tiger II team if that's really the tank they're using.

Just recently started following this show. And started playing World of Tanks too.

>>49
Damn, I was kinda hoping for some battle royal type stuff here

Too bad Saunders has to lose for the plot to advance. I hope that Kay at least shows up as a spectator like the Brits.

Really enjoyed episode 6. The commander of that sherman 76 sounds like me playing wot.

is it just me or did the main character's school have some of the shittest tanks in the war?
Baring the Stug, the other tanks aren't suited for tank warfare. Without a turret, the Stug is pretty much useless in the maneuver warfare they show in the series.
The panzer 4 is a decent all rounder, but with the short 75, it wasn't meant to defeat armor.
Type 89 eats shit all day, could be penetrated by heavy MG fire at close ranges.
38T is too outdated by the standards of the competition. At least it's small.
M3 Lee was just a hulking pile of shit, high profile combined with awkwardly placed main gun and thin armor.

>>78
here's an interesting nickname for the M3Lee from the Russians that received them: "БМ-6 — братская могила на шестерых" roughly translated as "collective grave for 6 people"

>>79
And if you play WoT, they often joke about the Lee's

>>80
Joking about how shitting something is in a videa game is one thing, when your life is on the line in one of these, it's another level of fuckage

>>78
I think the Panzer IV is going to get a long 75 soon, judging by the logo graphics at the end of episode 6.

>>79

They were far more eloquent in nicknaming the SU-76.

Suka/Suchka ("Bitch"/"little bitch")

>>83
phallus related slang was not just limited to tanks.
here is an "obrez" pistol, a full length mosin nagant 91/30 sawed down to pistol size.
Obrez means circumsized in Russian, and a common nickname for the jew

Looks like I was right about the long 75. Looks like the early one used on the F2.

Mako~

>>86
great, another shitcan, they never even show the m3lee firing the hull gun.

So from what I've heard the tiger they found is actually a Porsche tiger.

That should be pretty interesting.

well, at least the song was cute

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLoY_vtLdVY

can't say I'm a fan of the pint sized soviet commander nor their lack of zerg rush.
Don't see how the MC is going to pull off this one, IS-2 alone would stomp their entire team in open combat.

Cute looks, not so cute attitude

>>92

looks and acts like a toddler...

The kind you'd want to put on your tank turret

GOD DAMN BULLSHIT LAST EPISODE
