What surprised me is the number of hits that came up on Amazon.com (not Amazon.jp but ordinary Amazon.com) when I did a search for Girls und Panzer. It's not like it's a superhuge list, but normally if I do a search for an anime that hasn't been released in the US yet I'm lucky to get more than two hits on it. Hell, I'll count it good if I can even find it. But GuP actually has... you know... stuff available. BDs, DVDs, soundtracks, tank models, character songs... I'm not used to finding this much stuff without having to do a lot more digging.

"Survival War!" OVA is a rather overt nod to one of Month Python's classic routines
Went to Crunchyroll news section and found this. I laugh when i saw this.

There's a ZSU-23-4, a BMP, a BDRM (on the lowboy), an SA-6 TEL, a 152mm SpGH DANA, a SCUD-B TEL, and what looks like a later-series BTR.
While we're here, scans of the beach poster from Megami are up. Last edited by Gravitas Free Zone; 2013-03-02 at 20:10. |

A few days ago but a few recommendations anyway....

That aside, for "pride over lifes", it sounds reasonable but I don't know. After all, countless real life people do voluntarily join organizations that to a great extent put pride over lives (read: the military). Having managed to convince people there that Tankery is good for feminine values, it isn't such a stretch comparatively for people there to be willing to send their daughters to such schools, at least enough to fill the Tankery department of one school called Black Forest (BF has a large tank class of course but it isn't large enough to be a school by itself). You might want also to look for a guy named Sumeragi in this thread - similar thoughts, if to a much less severe extent, are apparently alive in Japan in certain martial art circles. Certainly as far as canon is concerned, at best Miho's choice is one of opinion. No one is actually disgusted over Black Forest's priorities like we might here. It is like debating slavery in the mid-1800s, you can argue either For or Against without looking like a monster (like you would today if you vote For). Your OC would be from that universe, will have that same zeitgeist, and so realistically it is enormously unlikely he'd be half as disgusted as you are making him here. Nevertheless, Sensha-do does not quite saturate the GuPverse like oh say Card Dueling in the Yugiohverse or even Mahjong in Saki, so I think that you are right that Senshadou survives in its present, near no-holds-barred form because it has had a zero death rate or something extremely close despite its apparently dangerous nature. Since Senshadou is internationally acclaimed in in-Verse, I doubt that one lethal accident will kill even the school. However, it is highly likely the "safety-first" crowd (which almost certainly must be there) would use the chance to push for a large number of limiting regulations in the name of safety. Terrain-use restrictions, button-up at all times ... etc. (An alternative is that there are actually lots of deaths off screen, but it is accepted in-verse as the price of Tankery. However, in such a case your scenario won't go off at all.) So first thing I'll recommend is to rework the script to an aggressiveness that will be realistic. Perhaps field the arguments in terms of questions instead of a long statement? As for Maho and Shiho's response, it is actually a reflection of how strongly you believe Tankery doctrines have penetrated into the GuPverse's society. If it is strong, then they can feel comfortable with just saying sacrifice is a matter of course (so actually canon implies this is close to the correct direction). If it is closer to Real Life, the blow would be more effective and they'll find it harder to reply - still, this is actually a very obvious argument so it is hard to believe they won't have some counters that would at least work in-verse, so again don't write it as if your arguments are necessarily "killer-points" Last edited by arkhangelsk; 2013-03-10 at 06:37.
